Not For Beginners..........2007-06-12

This book is not really geared for the beginner; it is for those who have a decent/modest/working command of the English writing/language with a basic understanding of sentence structure but need tweaking here and there to help perfect their skill. It covers EVERYTHING from punctuation, tense and subject agreement, spelling, word use--everything that goes into writing. The book is very busy in that it is LOADED--it covers everything you need to write properly/correctly. The book's section-numbering-system might be a bit of a tickle, but give it a scratch and you'll be on your way. The numbering system helps you locate/move from one area of grammatical treatment to another quickly; it allows this full coverage monograph to be printed into a portable size book. There are no "filler text", no speeches, no stories, no editoralizing--just concise writings on proper writing. It also provides clear examples, valuable notations, and alternative sentence formations. You WILL get your $ worth! (I didn't have time to check the book for this review, so mistakes are mine. ;>)

Great General Reference for Writers and Editors.......2007-05-09

I am a medical editor so my Bible is the AMA guide, but I needed a more general reference for my regular grammar/English queries. A co-editor who has been relying on and loving his Gregg Manual for years recommended it to me. His recommendation proved most helpful because so far, this book is great. I have yet to have a grammar question the Gregg Manual couldn't answer. It's great for editors and writers regardless of industry, and would be helpful for students as well.

The professional edition has so much more for the coder and biller: anatomical illistrations, color coding and references to the CPT assistant for further clarifications. I have used the standard edition in the past, but the professional is so much better for my purposes.

Of Limited Use to Defense Industry.......2006-09-12
While this book contains a great deal of useful information on team dynamics and tools, it does not cover the Integrated Process and Product Development (IPPD) framwork which is the basis of co-located Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). Due to this omission, its applicability to the defense industry is very limited.

Like all good improvement tools, this guide for teams has evolved over the years. I began with the original, moved to Edition Two and now have Edition Three. Along with THE LEADER'S HANDBOOK, the TEAM HANDBOOK is probably the most useful and used book I own. Whether you are leading a project team, facilitating your own workgroup, or just want to be a better team member yourself, THIS is the tool you need. Every chapter is jammed pack with helpful tips, traps to avoid, notes and templates to help you be successful. Invest in this book, invest in YOURSELF!

APA: The Easy Way!

Pocket Guide to Apa Style

Mastering APA Style: Instructor's Resource Guide

ASIN: 1591472520

Book Description
The Concise Rules of APA Style offers essential writing and formatting standards for students, teachers, researchers, and clinicians in the social and behavioral sciences. This easy-to-use pocket guide, compiled from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, provides complete guidance on the rules of style that are critical for clear communication. Readers will learn how to avoid the grammatical errors most commonly reported by journal editors; how to choose the appropriate format for statistics, figures, and tables; how to credit sources and avoid charges of plagiarism; and how to construct a reference list through a wide variety of examples and sources.
How does the Concise Rules differ from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association? The Publication Manual remains the best source for broad background information about scientific publishing. It provides guidance on designing research, identifying the parts of a scholarly article, understanding the process of journal publication, and submitting articles for publication. The Concise Rules, by comparison, targets only those rules writers need for choosing the best words and format for their articles. It offers a comprehensive list of essential writing standards in a convenient, easily retrievable format.
In addition to guidance on grammar points that have challenged writers in the social sciences, the Concise Rules provides suggestions for reducing bias in language; reviews the mechanics of style for punctuation, spelling, capitalization, abbreviation, italicization, headings, and quotations; examines the preferred use of numbers as well as standards for metrication and statistics; provides guidance for the construction and formatting of tables, figures, and appendixes; and offers clear examples and models for referencing ideas and constructing error-free reference lists.
Available in a light-weight, spiral-bound format, the Concise Rules will travel easily from home to school to office.

I found the book very helpful but complex. I rated it a four because it is accurate, absolutely correct. I had hoped it would simplify the process but found that other sites or reference material much simpler to understand for a first year student. It is a great guide!
Concise was too concise.......2007-01-03
This is probably a useful book for someone who is familiar with APA style. For someone loke myself who had no knowledge of the style rules it was of little use. I'd suggest buying the full version of APA style rules if you're just learning the format.

Great Journal.......2007-06-27
Wonderful Journal! I track my Weight Watchers Points along with my fat and carbohydrates intake everyday with this journal. I also track my workouts. There is plenty of room for personal add-ins. It has stood up to numerous rides in my purse, diaper bag, and gym bag. I can take it with me anywhere I go. If you aren't serious about tracking details of your diet everyday then it isn't for you.
I LOVE THIS JOURNAL!!!.......2007-06-27
I love this Journal!! I didn't get it to go on a diet. I got it so I could keep track of what I was eating. So I could safely breastfeed my son. In the beginning of the journal it tells you how to fill it out it's so easy! This journal also has pages to write down all your goals... including B/P, cholesterol even your goals for measurements. When I finished my first page I couldn't believe that I ate 4,000 calories in one day! And 97 grams of fat!!! My nutritionist told me everything that I should be eating, so I wrote those numbers on the first page for daily food goals. I now have what I eat under control and if my son gets gas I know where to turn. And very happily now that I have what I eat written down in front of me I have lost 10 lbs in one month and my son gained 2 lbs!! Once all my pages are full I will definately purchase another one.

One more thing before I go. I suffered from IBS. My doc told me to write a food log. So I brought him this journal. He couldn't believe how well informed he was about what I was eating. He found the problem immediatley. I no longer suffer from IBS.

If you have the courage to write down everything you eat, right down to the icing you licked off your finger while decorating cupcakes, then I highly recommend this journal. You will be surprised at the numbers.

I am now using the exercise parts of this book too. At the end of the day if I see that I forgot to exercise I write down in the notes that I need to exercise tomorrow so I don't forget.

Did I mention I love this journal!!

I got this handy, spiral bound book for my wife awhile back who is trying to lose a few pounds. She's been struggling to lose those last few pounds and with the help of this book, writing things down made her much more aware of exactly what she was eating- and guess what? It did the trick! Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator if you have trouble sticking to a diet or exercise program.

FITNESS JOURNAL REVIEW.......2007-05-08
RECEIVED AS EXPECTED AN ONTIME. GOOD DEAL. WOULD ORDER AGAIN AND DEFINITELY GOOD FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO KEEP TRACK OF THIER FOOD INTAKE, EXERCISE, AND SO MUCH MORE.
Easy To Use.......2007-04-23
This journal is really user friendly. I would have given it 5 stars had it been designed with more space to keep track of your inches in weight loss and if the menu in the back were more complete.

Counting calories has never been easier and the little thing had enough space to write information and still fit in my purse. It's kept me organized enough to lose 40 lbs. and if you stop recording, it allows for you to just pick up where you left off without being confused.

I love it!

This book is a concise reference for use by practitioners and those on the shop floor. I use it daily in our one square mile manufacturing complex.
Our people understand the tools with help of the illustrations. The how to use the tools is clear. Sure some may be overwhelmed by the statistical detail; however, the graphs are useful in showing folks what we as a team are working towards.
At only 265 pages, this spiral book is pricey, but that's expected from the millionaires of the Six Sigma Academy. ASQ's entries into this segment pale in comparison. Overall, I use it in any public course offering I teach. Keep it simple!

Very Helpful Book.......2007-06-11
This is a very helpful book and convenient also. Fits on desk well or can carry with you.
The Spiral Binding Justifies the Cost.......2007-05-02
This is a great little book to have when searching for the criteria to diagnose and/or find the pathology to an individual's mental health status. This book is an abridged version of the DSM-IV-TR, meaning that a great deal of information isn't included. However, it is a desk friendly, light weight and includes most key elements. The unabridged version of the DSM-IV-TR could kill a dinosaur, so this book for regular use is much more practical.

As for the spiral binding it is awesome, it allows the reader to flip back and forth and find the mood disorder, personality disorder, etc. very quickly. The book is a bit expensive (but then again what isn't?), but if the information will be utilized, it is well worth it.
Great help for diagnostic purposes........2007-03-11
The spiral bound copy of DSM-IV-TR is handy for carrying in a briefcase. This makes it useful wherever a counselor has therapy sessions.
Long Way Home.......2007-03-08
The book arrived in good shape but it seemed to take several weeks to arrive. I ordered other items at the same time that were shipped by another vendor and they arrived in a day or so. I thought Amazon would be much better than an obscure company, but I was wrong. I would never order a book again, since I can go to a bookstore and have it in an hour.
Don't Leave Home Without It........2007-01-20
Whoever thought to tame the massive DSM-IV-TR beast and put it into this handy, hand-held spiral format is a genius. This book has everything a busy clinician needs right at his/her fingertips.

DSM classification chart, differential diagnosis decision tree, and a listing of the DSM-IV-TR appendixes make this handy little resource worth the price of admission.

One cavaet: the clinician needs a fairly good working knowledge of "the big book" if this resource is to be of any clinical benefit, dare I say, if it is to be used responsibly. Think of this book as the Cliffs notes, and the actual DSM as the main text.

I have used this book so much that, if it were not for the fact that it is spiral bound, the spine would have been worn out by now.

A truly brilliant idea!

Customer Reviews:

This books tries to be many things.......2007-06-11
TGB has been around for several editions, helping massage therapists learn anatomy & kinesiology fundamentals. Credit is due. Its spiral binding, nice indices on the inside front & back covers, overall organization and "fun factoids" make the book usable. No wonder its considered by many a classic.

It doesn't, however, seem to be getting any better, while other books are offering more rigor, better images, and more accurate anatomical references. It has value as it includes text, tables and drawings at a reasonable price.

There are several flaws with this book, however.

First of all, the pictures are two-color -- in a dull reddish brown hue along with black -- and while they sometimes hold some detail, they are not vibrant, or visually interesting. Clearly it is not fair to compare TGB with full color human atlases that cost double and don't include the text, so you get what you pay for.

I also take issue with it more than a few times in its accuracy. For example, the TGB's primary method of palpating the quadratus lumborum muscle is with the client prone and trying to go through the posterior superficial musclulature (latissimus dorsi, iliocostalis lumborum, abdominals, etc.). This approach is likely to frustrate the beginning practitioner and prevent the opportunity to palpate one of the most critical muscles associated with low back pain. If therapists are not able to feel something, they are not likely to try treating it. This is unfortunate. Sidelying is recommended as the lateral muscle fibers of QL are readily accessible, and provides a superior presentation for stretching the QL and related muscle & fascia.

Another example is the description for the common attachments of teres major and latissimus dorsi: "Crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus." This sounds like we're adding more "rotator cuff" muscles, eh? The attachment I have found consistently in leading anatomy texts is either the "lip of the bicepital groove" or the "lip of the inter-tubercular groove."

The TGB is consistent; they identify the attachment for pectoralis major as the "crest of the greater tubercle," another misleading reference making it seem that the rotator cuff group has seven, not four muscles.

These are a few. There are more.

As an alternative, Muscolino's texts are more expensive, but superior.

So, yes, the TGB is a "good value," but only if you don't mind drab visuals and misleading text.
Great Introduction and Fabulous Reference.......2007-06-04
The third ed. was the textbook for my first class in massage therapy school. I wish the physiology book we had used in the next class was as well presented as Trail Guide and it's student handbook are. Illustrations are fabulous without being gorey or triggering weak stomachs. I'm going to use it in our homeschooling as well!!
Trail Guide to the Body.......2007-01-11
I am using this book to study for another certification in pilates. It is a recommended reading for the course I am about to take. It is probably one of the best anatomy books I have used.
Great anatomy book!!!.......2006-07-19
I used this book while studying to be a physical therapist assistant. I wish I had found it sooner!!! It's fabulous. I provides a detailed description of how to find muscles, bones, etc. This is better than any other book I have used for this purpose.
Never thought it could get better, but it DID ..........2006-02-23
I received the 2nd ed. of this book in massage school.

I purchased the 3rd ed. to study for my National test.

WOW! I truly did not think this book could have gotten any better, but it DID! It shows all different views of muscles, muscle groups, bones, boney landmarks, how to find boney landmarks to find muscles, latin/greek roots of the words, study hints, remembering devices, WONDERFUL illustrations!

I also purchased the Student Workbook - which is an ENTIRELY new text with this edition - and it has a lot of different ways to test yourself to prepare for tests.

If you need to know ANYTHING relating to the muscles/bones of the body, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! Don't let the cost fool you ... it is NOT overpriced. I used to think it was (when I found out how much it was by itself - my 2nd ed. was included with my tuition at school), until I bought this new edition.

They added an obscene amount of new pages, and updated their illustrations to make them even EASIER to understand.

If you have any doubts about this book, log on to the publishers website discoverybooks . com - there are excerpts, downloadable pages, etc.

Hope this helps.
