Anatomy and Physiology Refresher Too.......2007-09-25
I purchased this book to use in a veterinary terminology class and I've found it's a great refresher on basic anatomy and physiology as well. The sections are broken up by system (i.e. urogenital, digestive, etc.) and really make a lot of sense. The diagrams are quite useful.
Great book for those in the Veterinary field!.......2007-03-11
I am very pleased with my purchase. The flash card feature on the disc, is great for remebering terms and meanings. Pictures in the text book are clear. Breaks down everything in easy understandable terms.
Title.......2006-11-04
great book only if you want veterinary medicine terms, they have a breif explanation and go by subject i.e. ears, reproduction and less by index and alphabetical ways. Though the CD has been a huge help when looking up words though it does only contain about 3,000 terms which i small in thought to how many words there are.
Great Book for beginer to advanced.......2002-10-26
I am using this book to teach a high school class. It is very detailed but easy to understand. It has a lot of physiology too, so it will give you a very well rounded understanding of both medical terminology and phsiology.Covers dog,cat,horse, cow, goat, pocket pets, birds, etc.
Great photo's and diagrams with review questions in back of each chapter. Covers terms used in a veterinary hospital for lab work, diagnostic testing etc. Teachers can order answer key from publisher.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent retention from this book.......1999-08-01
This is a superior terminology textbook. It includes flash cards, crossword puzzles, and quick quizes to help you retain what you've learned.
Furthermore, it builds language skills in a logical manner, so what you learned yesterday will form the basis for remembering today's lesson.
It's good - really good.
Book Description
Illustrated Guide to Medical Terminology makes learning medical terminology enjoyable for everyone! The unique approach of this book makes learning easy, and its genius lies in its simplicity: "Read, look and listen in order to speak and write". Specifically, it asks you to read the text, view diagrams, write structure names, complete review exercises, listen to and repeat correct pronunciation of terms using the Free Audio CD-ROM, and finally write terms down on paper. This well-illustrated book is ideal for English as a second language learners, as well as visual and auditory learners.

Book Description
The Illustrated Chinese-English Guide for Biomedical Scientists is intended to build confidence in the use of English scientific language. The book lists terms that are in common use in science laboratories, translated into both simplified and complex Chinese. It also contains illustrations of equipment, labeled in both languages.
Customer Reviews:
A very useful book.......2005-10-19
As a chinese biomedical scientist, when I started my working in an American lab, I clearly remembered how hard it has been to let others understand me just because I didn't know the English names of some lab stuffs. I found this book is just specially designed for solving this problem. And its illustrations also vividly show you a real American lab. I believe, with this book at hand, your life in American lab will become more easier due to more effective communication. So, I strongly recommend it to those chinese who are working in or wish to join an American lab.
It is very helpful.
extremelu helpful .......2005-10-14
I found this book is extremely helpful. As personel exchanges in sciences between China and US are becoming increasinly active, this book provides a bible-like tool for those people involved in science. I strongly encourage biomedical scientists from both countris who are going to vist US or China should buy this book.
Of course, this book would be more helpful if simple conversations were added. i hope that we can see those conversations in the future.
Do not waste your money!!!.......2004-09-22
I bought this book, and I believe the title of this book is misleading. No biomedical scientist needs the book like this.
Do you believe that "time""timer""tissue""try" were "comprehensive terminology"?

Book Description
Numerical Methods in Astrophysics: An Introduction outlines various fundamental numerical methods that can solve gravitational dynamics, hydrodynamics, and radiation transport equations. This resource indicates which methods are most suitable for particular problems, demonstrates what the accuracy requirements are in numerical simulations, and suggests ways to test for and reduce the inevitable negative effects. After an introduction to the basic equations and derivations, the book focuses on practical applications of the numerical methods. It explores hydrodynamic problems in one dimension, N-body particle dynamics, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, and stellar structure and evolution. The authors also examine advanced techniques in grid-based hydrodynamics, evaluate the methods for calculating the gravitational forces in an astrophysical system, and discuss specific problems in grid-based methods for radiation transfer. The book incorporates brief user instructions and a CD-ROM of the numerical codes, allowing readers to experiment with the codes to suit their own needs. With numerous examples and sample problems that cover a wide range of current research topics, this highly practical guide illustrates how to solve key astrophysics problems, providing a clear introduction for graduate and undergraduate students as well as researchers and professionals.
Customer Reviews:
Extremely good introduction!.......2007-09-22
This is an extremely well written introduction to a rapidly developing field. The authors cover a broad swath of topics, providing a clear understanding of the physical principles underlying numerical astrophysics. Such a focus on basic principles and physical understanding ensures that one does not lose sight of the forest for the trees. I recommend this book highly for graduate students in astrophysics, as well as active researchers in the field who want a quick overview before going into the details.
HUGE disappointment.......2007-04-08
I was really looking forward to this title, hoping in a book that would go beyond the usual toy problems of typical standard numerical simulations books. Also knowing that this book included real working code I was also hoping it would bridge the huge gap between theory and practice with a practical approach. Boy, was I mistaken. hard to believe, but there is not a single line of code in this book! The numerical codes in Fortran (yuk) are just dumped in the CD and superficially described (just barely saying what it does and what the input and output are) in a final 10 pages ( yes, you read that well, 10 pages) "chapter" that looks more like an appendix to anyone with a little common sense. I know college professors can be a bit disoriented about what is important and what not in their field of research (I still my quantum mechanics prof. employed approximately the same time to try to explain us while there are 2n+1 numbers between n and -n and to introduce us to Fourier Transforms) but this is really too much! The bunch of theory and equations that this book is littered is totally useless unless you show me how these equations get implemented in code.
And if I have to wade through the code in a CD trying to figure it out by myself, what is the value of buying this book? Given this approach , I really pity the grad students of these guys...
Book Description
Astrophysicists have developed several very different methodologies for solving the radiative transfer equation. An Introduction to Radiative Transfer applies these techniques to stellar atmospheres, planetary nebulae, supernovae, and other objects with similar geometrical and physical conditions. Accurate methods, fast methods, probabilistic methods and approximate methods are all explained, including the latest and most advanced techniques. The book includes the different techniques used for computing line profiles, polarization due to resonance line scattering, polarization in magnetic media and similar phenomena.
