Clinically Oriented Anatomy

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Keith L. Moore, Arthur F. Dalley

May 01, 2005
I used this book for my first year at med school, it got me through my exams, but if i was to go back i would use Gray's anaotomy.

For me the problems with this book are:
-It's too complicated, and goes into to much detail, certainly more than you need in your first year.
-It's hard to find the relavant info amongst all the excess info, so things take much longer.
-It's intimidating, by this i mean the text is very small and there's often pages and pages of it at a time, so it really puts you off.
-The diagrams aren't as clear as in Gray's, they are hand drawn/painted pictures of real specimens... and i think this makes them more confusing.

On the other and i would say the good points are:

The "Times" Good University Guide 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
from: Times Books

June 16, 2008
I had been using this book in careers class to help me decide which universities I was going to apply to, and this book was exceedingly helpful for this task.
This book gives a league table of universities and also ranks them by each subject for example, Law or History. Another important aspect of this book is that it describes the universities making it truly invaluable to any A-Level student.
However, I only gave this book four stars because the vast majority of information is available online - in the Times website and also through the universities' websites.
Overall I would say that this book is very useful and definitely needed for any student who wants to make the right choice of university - after all it is one of the ... Read More:

The Skeletal System

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
from: Anatomical Chart Co ,U.S.

May 01, 2002
Me = Medical student, and this anatomy poster really hit the standard for me. I thoroughly recommend the Anatomical Chart Company's posters, which are very high print quality, at full anatomical detail (and split into layers such as muscular, skeletal and visceral). It's by Lippencott, so if you're a medic, nurse or someone who just really wants to know anatomy (as well as looking uber-clever with such posters up in your room) this is what you want. The print is clearly labelled, using standard anatomical terminology (no wierd latin), and is in full english (I bought another anatomy poster via Amazon which was a quarter English :-( ). The price is decent considering what you're getting, and the multiple views you get are really good. Happy customer, ... Read More:

Dry Store Room No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Richard Fortey

September 01, 2008
This more than just a description of a museum. This is also a journey into the history of the natural sciences and a part biography as well. Well illustarted, Richard Fortey describes an institution that is trying hard (and succeeding if the new Darwin Centre is any guide)to move with the times, make science accesible to the public, yet has more going on behind the scenes than we could ever give credit.

Anyone who lives in or visits London should pay more than one visit to this marvelous place, and thanks to this book they will be well briefed as to what goes and has gone on there.

SPSS for Psychologists: A Guide to Data Analysis Using SPSS for Windows

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Science and Nature
by: Nicola Brace, Richard Kemp, Rosemary Snelgar

March 31, 2006
Don't be put off by the title of this book if you are a non-psychologist. And don't be put off if you are a psychologist. If you need to learn SPSS from scratch quickly then this is the best book around. It teaches by example and the step-by-step explanations are remarkably easy to understand. I first learnt SPSS using the first edition of this book. Since then I have read several others. Now in its 3rd edition this one is still the best.
