Lippincott Williams & Wilkins' Pocket Notebook Series was designed to provide key clinical information in the same practical loose-leaf pocket binders that most medical students and interns carry--the familiar "pocket brain." Now Pocket Primary Care has been adapted to the new-generation "pocket brain"--the Palm OS, Windows CE, or Pocket PC handheld device. To get a head start on a "pocket brain", a PDA user can add Pocket Primary Care, and then customize the content by adding his or her own notes and comments. Pocket Primary Care provides key points on common problems seen in the ambulatory setting. It offers comprehensive coverage of preventive health, systemic concerns, endocrinology, dermatology, ENT, cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, hematology and oncology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, and more.

It seems nowadays that we are happy to discuss almost every aspect of our health, and reveal to doctors, psychologists, phone-in hosts and their audiences, in fact almost anyone who will listen, our most personal and intimate problems. There remains one last taboo, one last subject for which people will suffer in silence - problems relating to their bowels. This reluctance is seen by many within the medical profession as being a significant cause of the increase in bowel cancer within the developing world. 'The Bowel Book' is a frank, entertaining, and accessible book offering advice on these and related problems, from the view of a medical specialist with many years experience of dealing with these problems. The book provides advice on every type of problem such as haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and colitis. Most importantly, it highlights the early warning signals of such life threatening illnesses such as bowel cancer. Along the way it discusses and assesses alternative treatments such as colonic irrigation, and controversially contests some of the widely held views on the benefits of high fibre diets. A book that everyone will need at some point in their lives.

History is written by the victors. But that is no comfort to those crossed out by the editor's pen. For years, science textbooks equated electricity and light with one man, Thomas Edison, while the genius whose pioneering electrical technologies truly power the modern world languished as a minor note in scientific history.
Before the turn of the 20th century, electricity remained a mere scientific curiosity. Nikola Tesla, arguably more than anyone else, changed that. But Nikola's pioneering research in electricity represents only a portion of the scientific and technical innovations that elevated him to science godhood.
Tesla not only expanded and revolutionized the work of his predecessors, he also leapfrogged ahead of his contemporaries to the next step.
Nikola Tesla: My Life, My Research has three parts: Tesla's autobiography; Tesla's major research programs explained in simple words; and an eighty-page collection of rare photographs taken at several stages of Tesla's life; from his birth certificate, to the first photograph ever taken by phosphorescent light, to the last known photograph before Tesla's death, in 1943.
Herbert is a native of Maryland. Herbert began his ministry on the streets of Wilmington, Delaware, rescuing men, women, children and even a pregnant cat from the cold of winter inviting them into the storefront shelter. He founded Friends Mission and God blessed this ministry with many powerful demonstrations. The food never ran out, the kerosene heater never stopped and the rent was paid. For example, one time someone brought a casserole to the store, there clearly was not enough to feed the group gathered. Herbert prayed over the food and began serving. Everyone ate his or her fill. One of the ways Herbert likes to study is by gazing at God's creation from the amazing wonders of the stars to the awesome power of God in a thunderstorm. He has had many accomplishments throughout his life: filmmaker, author, harp maker, explorer, teacher, carpenter, Master puppeteer, artist, sculptor, painter and professional businessman. He lives with his family in central Pennsylvania.
Are you the one who always gets bullied? I want you to know this. You can live life "bully-free." Just follow the steps in this little book, and you'll never feel like a victim again.
Book II:
Unconditional "Bully-Love"
Bullies need a special kind of love; one that helps the spirit and emotions heal. It's called "unconditional bully-love."
Words matter: they mold and mirror our values and our reality. And so it is with the language we use to think and talk about species other than our own. In Tongue-Tied, Hanh Nguyen unpacks the many metaphors, meanings, and grammatical formulations that speak to and echo our physical exploitation of other-than-human animals, and shows how they constrain our abilities to relate to our animal kin fairly and honestly. Full of subtle insights and richly suggestive observations, and drawing from Nguyen's own cross-cultural experiences, Tongue-Tied offers a glimpse of a language that is freed from euphemistic self-deception, one that accepts definition without limitation and difference without hierarchy.
A provocative guide to the hidden dangers of parentspeak - those seemingly innocent phrases parents use when speaking to their young children. Imagine if every time you praise your child with "Good job!" you're actually doing harm? Or that urging a child to say Can you say thank you? is exactly the wrong way to go about teaching manners? Jennifer Lehr is a smart, funny, and fearless writer who takes everything you thought you knew about parenting and turns it on its ear (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Backing up her lively writing and arguments with research from psychologists, educators, and organisations like Alfie Kohn, Thomas Gordon, and R.I.E. (Resources for Infant Educarers), Ms. Lehr offers a conscious approach to parenting based on respect and love for the child as an individual.
