Summary: Book great for class
Rating: 5

This book was required for class but it gave a great overview of different health care policies in the US and abroad.

Summary: Good overview, but only half the story
Rating: 3

As another reviewer noted, this book starts from the premise that health care is a right. As a result of this perspective, the first several chapters feature “sob stories” on nearly every page detailing hypothetical examples of people who are put in a bad situation in our current system. Now, our current system is deeply flawed and any unbiased observer would concede this point, but it struck me as odd that the authors would commenti so heavily on the shortfalls of the American system, and so little on the shortfalls of “universal models” of the type they advocate (long waiting time for the majority of procedures, crowded emergency rooms, less use of advanced technologies, health care rationing, and many of the best doctors leaving the country).

In summary, this is a very well researched book and there is little if anything stated here that isn’t true. There is, however, a great deal that is deemphasized or simply unsaid because it does not support the authors preconceived ideas of what an idea health care model ought to look like.

Summary: Everything You Want To Know
Rating: 5

This book turned out to be worth more than I paid for. It’s an easy read - and gives you fictional stories explaining the concepts behind health care issues and scenarios to help you put into perspective what the author is talking about. The stories are extremely helpful if you are a newbie to public health and health care issues. Should be one of the books you keep on the shelf to refer to from time to time. You cant go wrong with this book.

Summary: Should health care be a right?
Rating: 1

Beware: This is an highly ideological text that starts with the assumption that health care is a right! It than goes on to say that in order to fulfill that right it is necessary to control the costs of health care. Obviously, cost control is a very problematic economic proposition that calls for state intervention and that sometimes has consequences that are the opposite of what is desired.
In the UK, where health care is a right, cost control has led to shortages, waiting lists and an overall degradation of health care. The UK, currently, has the highest mortality rates for oncological problems of all the EU countries and British people got used to flying to France and India for medical care. Canadians also have shortages and Canadians resort to the US.
Sometimes a “right” can easily turn into a “wrong”!

Summary: Easy to read
Rating: 5

I got this book for a graduate class that I am taking. This book uses clear language when presenting the material and has many mini “case studies” for examples, which makes it easy to read. Though I am required to read this book, it is not the standard, wall-of-text, that I am use to reading.

Product Description:

In the United States, the lives of more than 10 million children are affected by chronic illnesses. In this book, the authors introduce a multidimensional framework for examining the development and adaptation of children with chronic illness. This framework encompasses biomedical, psychological and socio- ecological factors to be considered in developing intervention efforts to enhance adaptation in this population. Specific chronic illnesses discusses are asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, sickle-cell disease and spina bifida. It is divided into four sections that cover the impact of chronic childhood illness, developmental changes, enhancement of adaptation and goals for public policy and research. This book is intended as more than a reference tool for those studying the process of adaptation; it can serve to influence the formulation of research questions, intervention programmes and public policy.

Publisher: Rowman&Littlefield Publishers, Inc.
Number Of Pages: 192
Publication Date: 2008-10-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0742561372
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780742561373

Product Description:

Too often addiction is perceived to be merely a moral weakness or purely a brain disease, ignoring the deep personal pain that can permeate the lives of the addicted. Doctors Khantzian and Albanese see addictions primarily as a kind of self-medication that can temporarily soothe anxiety or pain, but that ultimately wreaks havoc on the lives and health of both the addicted and their loved ones. With practical advice, compelling case studies, and nuanced theory drawn from years of clinical practice, this book looks at the underlying reasons behind many addictions and provides a pathway to hope.

Summary: Good price for a decent science textbook
Rating: 4

It’s fairly easy to read and does a good job of going into detail. Coupled with the price. I’d definitely recommend this book.

Summary: good book
Rating: 4

It is a good immunology book, more suitable for a student who has some basic knowledge on immunology.

Summary: Good update of current topics in immunology
Rating: 4

The book includes updates of current topics in immunology. The on line access (new feature for this edition) give you the opportunity to check the book. It is good for copying images for power point presentations.

Summary: Everything you need and more
Rating: 5

I was very glad that my undergraduate course in Immunology chose this textbook, because it has all you need to know and more to understand Immunology. A lot of my classmates and I found the text to be hard to read due to the fact that the material is very detailed and condensed, but the book is very well-laid out and describes the immune system well despite the inherent complexities involved. You might have to work hard to tie things together, but that’s just the nature of the material since it’s so intertwined.

All in all, my favorite textbook of my undergrad molecular biology curriculum so far.

Summary: Book explains concepts well
Rating: 5

Immunology is not an easy concept to digest at first, but luckily this book explains the difficult topics quite well. With any subject that deals with explaining molecular processes, both the descriptions and diagrams take great importance and I feel that this book for the most part addresses both very efficiently.

Review
“Immunology is a hard subject. This book makes it easy!
There are many drawings, and this really makes it easier to understand. Also, the authors have made a genius thing by starting the paragraphs with a bolded text giving just the information one need to get an overview. The summaries are good, giving the reader a possibility to get familiar with the chapter before reading it.”
