Review from previous edition: “The problem-based approach makes learning enjoyable. The lay-out of this book in every aspect including the text makes such an approach all the more enjoyable. It may sound strange to say but it was difficult to put it down. It was a pleasure” –The General Dental Practitioner
“The book is very stimulating to read and the contents could certainly awaken an interest for further orthodontic studies.” –European Journal of Orthodontics
“Bound to be popular!” –Judges of the Medical Book Awards

This book is ok, but not spectacular like those I used for a regular Anatomy and Physiology class. This book contains a lot of information but not a variety of "sketches" for a student to color in in different colors in order to learn the different parts of the head, mouth, etc. I am wondering if there are "better" coloring books out there for this subject.
A must for my dental hygiene class.
I did not end up using this text because my professor had similar worksheets that she handed out in class, but this is a good way to learn anatomy if you are a visual learner. Download Dental Anatomy Coloring Book, 2e 2nd Edition PDF
Fundamentals of Clinical Trials 5th ed. 2015 Edition
Author: Lawrence M. Friedman ID: 3319185381
From the Back Cover
This is the fifth edition of a very successful textbook on clinical trials methodology, written by recognized leaders who have long and extensive experience in all areas of clinical trials. The three authors of the first four editions have been joined by two others who add great expertise. Most chapters have been revised considerably from the fourth edition. A chapter on regulatory issues has been included and the chapter on data monitoring has been split into two and expanded. Many contemporary clinical trial examples have been added. There is much new material on adverse events, adherence, issues in analysis, electronic data, data sharing, and international trials.
This book is intended for the clinical researcher who is interested in designing a clinical trial and developing a protocol. It is also of value to researchers and practitioners who must critically evaluate the literature of published clinical trials and assess the merits of each trial and the implications for the care and treatment of patients. The authors use numerous examples of published clinical trials to illustrate the fundamentals.
The text is organized sequentially from defining the question to trial closeout. One chapter is devoted to each of the critical areas to aid the clinical trial researcher. These areas include pre-specifying the scientific questions to be tested and appropriate outcome measures, determining the organizational structure, estimating an adequate sample size, specifying the randomization procedure, implementing the intervention and visit schedules for participant evaluation, establishing an interim data and safety monitoring plan, detailing the final analysis plan, and reporting the trial results according to the pre-specified objectives.
Although a basic introductory statistics course is helpful in maximizing the benefit of this book, a researcher or practitioner with limited statistical background would still find most if not all the chapters understandable and helpful. While the technical material has been kept to a minimum, the statistician may still find the principles and fundamentals presented in this text useful. This book has been successfully used for teaching courses in clinical trial methodology.

This book is absolutely the very best, and most scientifically thoughtful reflexology text I have ever read, or even browsed through. I wish that this book were used as text for the 18 hour course I completed at a nearby massage school; it is that good.
Mr. Byers draws on his years of close, personal work with his Aunt Eunice Ingham (a practicing nurse), her notes,her correspondance; as well as, his own experience as a practicing reflexologist, scientist, teacher, and lecturer as matterial this dynamic text. What makes this such an awsome book is that he not only covers time-proven, accurate methods of foot reflexology, but also anatomy & physiology which is such crucial knowledge for anyone interested in holistic medicine. I have not seen such adequate coverage of anatomy in any other volume, as it appears here. In addition, Mr. Byers takes an uncubersome scienticic approach, coupled with an easy reading, easy comprehending writting style, with plenty of clear illustrations which makes it a perfect for practitioner and layman alike. He leaves nothing to the immagination. Though I have one copy already, I intend to purchase another for a backup -something I’ve never done with any other book. It is that good!!!!!!!
Please, please, please buy this book, you won’t be sorry!!!
This is THE book to buy on reflexology! There are a lot of other books and methods out there but this book is the original. Dwight Byers has perfected the art of reflexology, first developed by his aunt, Eunice Ingham. Not only is the information in the book presented in a clear, concise manner but it is the most accurate information on reflexology available. If you want to do reflexology either professionally or just on family and friends, this book contains what you need to be the best at what you do.
i have read many articles and books reflecting on reflexology…but this is for myself, one of the best references in which i have been thoroughly pleased with. the descriptions and the photos really illustrate and bring light to this wonderful therapy….i highly recommend this book…i think you will not be disappointed…its rich in details and very concise.
