A Must
I used this book in my current teacher education program and it is absolutely a must!! It is easy to use and the students loved the activities.If you are going to teach P.E., you must have this book (the whole series is great!!)

Teaching Tool
This book is great for all P.E. teachers who are interested in giving their students age-appropriate activities.I have used it in my student teaching at the University of Arizona and will use it in my teaching.It is full of intro-activities, fitness, game and closing activities.Justwhat every elementary school P.E. teachers need to do a complete lesson. ...

Very skimpy on DICOM, HL7.
This review is for the second edition.
Contributing Author's Remarks
As a contributing author in this book, I wanted to share some of my comments and remarks.I think Editors did a great job soliciting well known experts in their field to contribute in this book (I am probably the least known - hehe).I think this book provides a very comprehensive review of the topic and I recommend this for anyone thinking about implementing radiology IT systems or currently managing radiology IT systems.
Great up-to-date information and easy to read.
I am a radiologist with an interest computer technology.I have hands-on experience with computing but little formal IT education.I've bought most of the other books on PACS from various authors but liked the first edition of the Dreyer book the best, so I thought I'd give this second edition a try.

Eye-opener
As a physician, John Abramson explains his experience and his research on the subject of pharmecuticals, using good medical and common sense, along with professionalism to investigate the overuse of prescription drugs. There are methods that should be followed for approval of drugs which aren't always followed; drugs are partially tested, information is slanted to cut time, laziness and time constraints contribute, faulty and partial information, all weave their way into the story of how the dangerous overuse of drugs harm consumers. Many doctors trust the medical journals for accuracy and current information on prescription drugs. Unfortunatly the journals get caught in the web of bad information by not verifying their sources. This book offers the medical field and patients in an eye-opening read on the real story behind the overuse of certain popular drugs and the process that goes on behind the scenes - along with a hint that once again, corporate America's greed stands to gain at the cost of the uninformed consumer. His daunting task to untangle this web and make it readable to a wide audience is well done.I'm appreciative for people such as John Abramson for taking the time and efforts to inform the public.

There will be no solution to the health care crisis until we understand the foundation of the problem.
The lengthy title of this book sums up the question of "why are Americans, whose health is at the bottom of the developed nations, are paying so much more for that distinction?" Read this book. It will tell you why. There will be no solution to the health care crisis until we understand the foundation of the problem, and Dr. Abramson clearly explains why and how the current system benefits corporate profits, but not much else.
Everyone should read this book!
This book wouldn't be so frightening if I didn't believe all of it was true.You know how it is when you buy a new car and then you see that car everywhere?Just in the last couple days while reading this book there have been a couple of newspaper articles about medical researchers being paid thousands of dollars by big pharma when working on drugs that they are in charge of approving or rejecting.It makes you look at the medications you might be taking in a whole different and more critical way.Everyone should read this book. ...

read this book together
This book is written by a husband and wife who continue to experience permanent impotence as a result of prostate cancer sugery.The book is structured like a "diary" with dated entires over a several-year period written separately by both husband and wife who are honest about their fears, disappointments and frustrations.It does not dwell on the surgery itself, but focuses on the post-surgical successes and disappointments as they try to engage in sexual relations using various options.It focuses on the loving relationship between the spouses, but it is also realistic about sexual needs -- from both partners' perspectives.
Great Book
This is a great book on the subject of impotence. I am an 8 year Prostate Cancer survivor and this book tells it like it is. Virginia and Keith are to be commended for sharing the intimate details of their recovery.
I've Found Real Hope After 14 Years
14 years after my husband's first diagnosis of prostate cancer I learned several facts in this book, but, most important, for the first time it has made me begin to believe that things CAN be different for us if we both choose to work at it.Read more

A good reference book
If health is your field of practice this book will increase you awareness on the importance of holistic approach to health care. If you are researching in the area of religion and spirituality, then this is a must read for your literature review.

The Ultimate Resource!
This is the most comprehensive collection of studies in the field of religion, spirituality and healthcare. Extremely easy to read and nicely organized for easy use. As a researcher myself in the field of spirituality and healthcare, I have found this book to be a "must have" resource for our own work. I would strongly recommend this book wihtout reservation!

An Amazing Book
As a scientist with great faith---and a survivor of three separate cancers---I came to this book with a lot of faith and treatment experience.This is an amazing summary of the literature relating religion and health. There are many, many associations between religious commitment and practice and health, with major implications for crafting healthful lifestyles and treatment of illness.This book is scientifically credible, inspirational from a religious perspective, and interesting throughout.5 stars only because that is the top star value!! ...

Worsley followers pay attention ...
Unschuld is a scholar, a genuine translator that doesn't leave much to the imagination.His understanding of the cultural contexts (as there are many) in which TCM grew are un-matched in terms of written text.Get his books, if not for the honest look he takes at TCM, but for the fact that his works are the bread and butter of TCM.The gross ignorance of the classics among so called "Doctors of TCM" in the western world is amazing.Don't guess about TCM, either learn to read Chinese or get good translations of the classics.Not pocket translations at a American grade five reading level.If we expect people to view us as Doctors, we should study like one.
essential reading
This book is the most profound, deep work that has ever been done on this book. As practitioners of Chinese medicine we allways read and give attention to the two books of the Huang Ti Nei Ching,the Su Wen and the Ling Shu. The nan Ching is a must for every Chinese Medicine practitioner. This book gives many aspects that made me think again on theories and practical aspects that I use every day as teacher and practitioner.
