Buddhism for Beginners: A Complete Coruse On The Heart Of The Buddha's Teachings (Sounds True Audio Learning Course)

Buddhism for Beginners.......2007-09-22

As a beginning practioner, with little time now to look for a personal teacher, I depend on learning from some of the great teachers, by print or audio media. I found Jack Kornfield's teachings, on this audio course, to be insightful, easy to follow, well illustrated with examples and peppered with his delightful sense of humor. I can only hope to meet him some day. I would highly recommend this audio course to anyone interested in Buddhist philosophy and would wish that some of our world leaders would buy a copy as well!

User friendly, physiologically sound, and truly unique........1999-10-08

Criley's interactive CD ROM program on cardiac physiology and findings is a masterpiece. The content is solid and enables an inquisitive student (any student of medicine) to learn to relate physical findings with the physiology as represented by phono, ECG, pressure traces and renderings of the physical cardiac cycle. The multimedia presentation far excels that which is available on the WEB and makes for an intriguing learning experience. I have delighted in presenting physiology to students, housestaff, and colleagues through this means. It is a worthwhile investment for any committed medical educator.

Excellent auscultation review course........1998-11-02

Includes physiologic data and excellent graphics. Recommended for advanced nursing personel, residents and practicing physicians. Very easy to navigate CD from normal heart tones to sounds produced by cardiac pathology. With a click you can bring up text which explains the graphics and sounds on the current screen. Well worth the price.

Well made physiologic explanation of heart sounds & murmurs.......1998-11-02

The program (MAC, Win95 & NT4.0) is a real multimedia application - not just a book put on a CD.

In a more or less ordered fashion you can access the physiological and some pathological sounds and murmurs of the heart as a combination of

-sound

-phonogram

-cartoon

-pressure curves

-EKG

-echo

in mostly sensible combinations. It very well illustrates the physiological origin and is actually useful to train your ear. Naturally, it's sometimes even too exemplaristic (=easy) and a real patient (esp. with a higher rate!!) might give you a harder time.

Book Description

In this significantly enhanced second edition, Jules Constant, MD, helps physicians to perfect the fine art of history-taking and physical examination as corrective strategy to the sometimes false positives and negatives produced by advanced medical technologies in the diagnosis of cardiac disease. Moving beyond total reliance on laboratory data to the expert evaluation of personal patient data, Dr. Constant summarizes forty years of clinical experience with a proven list of time-tested questions designed to elicit the crucial nuances of cardiac-related symptoms, and then provides a complete differential diagnosis for each demonstrated symptom. His method includes numerous practical tips for obtaining cardiac clues from physical appearance, measuring arterial and jugular pulses and pressures, and using a stethoscope. The heart of the book is an extensive discussion of the art and science of diagramming and grading heart sounds and murmurs, ranging from S1 through S4 to ejection, systolic regurgitant, diastolic, and abdominalal murmurs. A invaluable, stand-alone compact disc offering a seventy-minute course in auscultation, complete with heartsound illustrations taken from actual patients over the course of thirty years, clearly demonstrates and explains the sounds and murmurs discussed.

Ótima pedida.......2007-06-12

Ótimo livro de semiologia cardiaca. Além do curso de auscuta que me empolgou mais ainda a seguir residência na cardiologia. Muito melhor que esperar aparecer um paciente com a patologia "X" para diferenciar as bulhas e murmúrios.

Unusual Clarity on Raising Teens.......2006-02-11

Knowing that a parent's chance to raise an emotionally strong child with character and the ability to behave and make sound judgments is short, I have purchased and read many books on the subject recently. A number of these books have provided some insights into why teens behave the way they do, and others have provided some useful tips on how to guide children through adolescence and the teenage years. This book, despite being many fewer pages in length than others, has more to offer a parent than all the others I have read combined. "Restoring the Teenage Soul" exlpains so clearly why teens act the way they do and provides a comprehensive prescription for guiding the teen through difficult years. Especially with the less than helpful influences of today's popular culture and the influences of kids whose parents seem to have lost their focus on what matters to kids, this book is a gem. After reading it, you will know what you need to do to raise a healthy teen. If you are dedicated to raising your teen properly, but need some clarity on how to do it, start here!

Marcus T Pratt.......2004-08-26

The guy on the cover is Marcus T. Pratt and he makes reading the book worth while. He attends Michigan State University and is very attractive as well as kind! Wonderful cover, great book! Good job marcus!

Need to read it........2002-11-12

I finished the book slowly, enjoy it, and use it as a reference to teach a parenting class in my church. It's a good book for those parents with teenagers and those who work with teens.

Restouring the Teenage Soul.......2000-02-08

I found the book concise, yet full of examples. The content is very well written by someone who obviously cares deeply about the subject.

Good book, could be better........2006-05-16

I believe this book is a good read for anyone wanting to break into the music business. However I think that "The Music Business: How YOU can make $500,000 "or more" a year in the music industry by Doing it Yourself!" by Ty Cohen offers a more insightful approach to getting started in this industry.

Fun read, a little reckless with the facts, however.......2007-04-20

Marsh is a fine writer, this book will start and continue arguments. It's a lot of fun. Not sure how "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" tops the list, it's not even Motown's best, and frankly Gladys Knight did a better version. But that's Marsh's opinion.

The Beatles don't come in until No. 29 -- a clear oversight, in my opinion.

The worst part is the lack of attention to detail. Marsh notes that Spinners' lead singer Phillipe Wynne nails the lyrics in "I'll Be Around" and "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love." Uh, no, that would be Bobbie Smith leading both of those songs.

Marsh also assumes Eddie Levert lead sings all O'Jays songs, when anyone with a decently tuned ear can tell on about 80 percent of their songs, they rotate leads with Levert and Walter Williams. Marsh quotes a line in "Backstabbers" that Levert sings well, when in reality it is Walter Williams. I'm wondering how many other errors I didn't find.

That said, this book is still worth getting. No one will every agree with anyone's song rankings, but for the most part Marsh does an excellent job. He should've paid more attention to the facts, however.

Dave Marsh's observations are music to my ears........2006-06-30

Having worn out the 1st & 2nd editions of The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made by Dave Marsh, I reordered the 2nd edition, as about 15 pages were missing from the copy I owned. From big sellers ("I Heard It Through The Grapevine", Marvin Gaye) to obscure (apparently to Dave Marsh) songs ("Please Say You Want Me", The Schoolboys) each review/confession/tribute is lovingly and accurately discribed, with from-the-gut comments ("...Prepare to meet the dawn.": "Lead Me On", Bobby Bland). Whenever I hear one of these songs for the first time, I eagerly see what Dave has to say about it. Or, if it's one of my favorites that I haven't heard for awhile, I do the same.

I have spent many years enjoying and appreciating this great book.

Kissing Marsh's Ring.......2005-07-09

Flipping through this book can be kind of fun in very, very small doses. You get to read about some well known classic songs, some lesser known ones, and get reminded of some you might not have though of in years and be introduced to some you may have never heard. But boy, what an ego Marsh has, and what arrogance! I mean think about it. Do you really think that anybody would buy and read a book by you about YOUR favorite songs?

concerning the lack of 60's folk music.......2005-02-23

Concerning folk music of the early to late sixties Mr. Marsh states: ......in musical style and class orientation it was very much a reaction against the dominance of rock and roll and r & b in the fifties. He also states: "Folk pop of the sort that hit the charts tailored itself to appeal primarily to white middle class collegiates, particularly ones who found the music of contemporary blacks and working-class whites too vulgar." It's amazing to me how people who just don't like folk music in the first place, makes such statements.
For me though, there was an earthiness, a sincerity to the folk music of that time. Mr. Marsh may not have liked the music but he shouldn't blame it on some sort of conspiracy against R&B and Rock and Roll.

The Heart of Rock and Soul.......2003-12-21

Before this book was published I didn't know much about doowop or Fortune Records.
This book really opened my ears to "black music". For which I am really thankful. Together with a friend I collected all songs and made a nice tape-collection out of it. Most of all the search for these songs brought a lot of great adventures.
An online version of this book can be found at http://www.lexjansen.com/marsh.
Enjoy!
