By: Tiffany

yes another great Bear story by karma wilson. my daughter loves me to read it to her when she is sick. a must have!!

This is the book I pull out when my daughter doesn't feel well. I find it touching how all of Bear's friends gather together to take care of their poor, sick bear. I like that it shows little ones that, even when you don't feel well, the people you love will be there for you...even if it means they don't feel well later. Actually, I like to read it to her when I don't feel well as well. 8)

Good story, nice rhymes, lovable characters. This is a great addition to any child's library as are all of the "Bear" books by Karma Wilson.

Bear Feels Sick is a new 'Bear' book by Karma Wilson. Like 'Bear Snores On' it has beautiful illustrations and a fun story. This time it is autumn in the woods and bear isn't feeling well so his friends take care of him.

I have been reading the Bear books to my daughter since she was a toddler and we have many books in the series. In "Bear Feels Sick", dear old bear feels poorly and keeps sneezing and wheezing. When his woodland friends [rabbit, mouse, mole, crow etc] come to visit and call him to play, he says he is too sick to play. So what do Bear's friends do? They get together and try to make Bear feel better - collecting herbs, applying a cold compress, fixing him some nourishing soup etc. Soon, Bear is all better, and all ready to play - but finds his friends are now sick! What does Bear do?

This is a heartwarming tale about the value of friendship - sticking together and helping each other out during times of difficulty. As usual, the text is written in 'simple' language, perfect for preschoolers and the illustrations are full-color and simply beautiful. I would recommend all the books in the Bear series as they all have a heartwarming message and are wonderful for reading aloud. Bear and friends are such cute characters that little ones can relate to and you will have your child clamoring for more Bear and friends' adventures!

Even if you're not going to be travelling in remote places, this book is wonderful. Jane Wilson-Howarth's no nonsense (and funny) tone makes this book an excellent read, even if it's just for the vicarious thrill of knowing which parasites you might encounter.

This a gem of a book- not for the squeamish (though they wouldn't be travelling off the beaten path, would they?!) and definitely not to be given to your hypochondriacal aunt before she goes on her next overseas vacation- but great for everybody travelling outside of say, North American & Western Europe. V. practical, v. succinct & v. realistic. Great help in planning your trip, esp. if you are anyway intrepid in your travels. And loads of fun to read, with lots of v. funny bits.

Cadogan's Bugs, Bites and Bowels is the best health guide for travellers. I travel a lot for work and pleasure and always use it when preparing to leave. The text is bang up to date and easy to understand. You get all the details on where you're at risk, signs to look for and lots of advice on what to do if your luck runs out - for each and every possible ailment.

Everyone who is planning a trip outdoors should get a copy. Five Stars.

I seem to collect health travel books. We live in Mexico and beleive in being our own best health advocates anywhere. Of all the books I have seen in the past five years dealing with travel health, Bugs, Bits & Bowels surpasses my previous favorite, one in the Moon Travel Series which is currently out of print. Wilson-Howarth is concise, yet seeming thorough, with a presentation easily understood. Even bits of humor sprinkled in.

I have the first edition of Dr. Lorraine Wilson's pathophys. text and have just bought the fifth edition. It is an excellent resource for any nurse who wants to maintain a current knowledge base in pathophysiology. It is a great resource. It is obvious that the main editor, Dr. Wilson, takes great pride in the accuracy of the submissions and strives to produce a high quality text book. I understand that Dr. Wilson is completing the 6th edition but no word as to when it will be released.

My only complaint about this book is they often reference other diseases or complications and I am continually having to cross reference whenever I am reading. Overall, I feel like I can get a reasonable, generally understanding very quickly and this is a book I will save as a reference.

It's a nice book at a discount used.
Delivered in good time.
What more can I say.

I have been a fan of Sylvia Price's Pathophysiology text since I first studied for the CCRN exam in 1982. I have bought periodic updated versions since that time and recommend it to all my preceptees and CCRN study group members. The clarity of her authors' explanations makes understanding the pathophysiology of conditions commonly seen in ICU very easy. I do not have enough words to express how highly I recommend this book to any nurse beginning a critical care career.

I'm not going to be too verbose here, but I've used this text for three years now, and it's an excellent reference for basic pathophysiology. I've used it at both the undergraduate and medical school level, and I've been very pleased with both the organization and the content. It's not a replacement for Robbins Pathology, but it's an excellent supplement, and somewhat easier to read/use.

Excellent Images of pathologies. Expensive but worth the money.

Just the best reference book on chest imaging. Lots of useful boxes, great emphasis on differentials, good pictures in all modalities. I'd like to see more histology pics on the edition. I'm a fan of Nestor Muller's books, but this one is superior to his recent release (Expert Radiology Series). For a resident I'd recommend Webb and Higgins' book. Hansell's text is quite easy to read but it's too long for a thoracic imaging rotation. I recommend it for thoracic imaging fellows and someone who wants a more in-depth text.

If you've seen the second edition, this edition is a big improvement, with much better coverage of CT and MR. It's an excellent book both for radiology residents and practicing radiologists, who are looking for a single-volume text which is both readable, and sufficiently comprehensive to use as a reference. Top-notch.

Most comprehensive and manageable text on chest imaging. Covers all aspects from plain film to newer modalities. A Must for any busy department.

I wish I would have found this book earlier! It is an excellent resource for neuro/anatomy.

It maps out each cranial nerve, explains its course, functions, etc. in clear text. I liked how it had a different color for each modality (general sensory afferent, branchial motor, etc.) and how it explained areas in which there are differing opinions; it helped me to reason things out when texts/professors conflicted.

Thank goodness a kind soul handed this down to me, because I think $43 is a bit steep....

Cranial Nerves is great for helping medical and graduate students understand some of the spatial relationships with cranial nerves. It gives a clear and concise review of each cranial nerve and then adds some valuable clinical aspects. The use of color coding throughout the book helps the student to follow a cranial nerve or component throughout the various diagrams in a logical fashion. Most of my class has or has borrowed this book even though it is not even listed on the required or recommended readings for the Neuroscience class! All in all a wonderful book.

In my opinion, this is the best cranial nerve review book out there. It leads you through each of the cranial nerves. The origins of each component of each nerve are listed and each one traced through it's various foramina and nuclei.

This is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it for any woman over 35.
It addresses every health issue that may concern a woman of middle age, in a clear, direct and easy to undertand manner. It is a no-nonsense book: not only does the author let you know when to worry, but also when to NOT worry about a symptom. That is great for women who are suffering vague symptoms and do not know when or if they should see a doctor.

The author makes clear and convincing arguemnts for eating well, exercising and so on. There is nothing new there but she encourages small changes, rather than a major life overhaul. The small changes add up, as she illustrates with case studies of women who chose to take care of themselves and those who did not. The comparisons clearly show how much of our health is impacted by our own everyday choices.

Finally, I have never read a better explanation of why women should be very concerned with their bone health. I knew it was important, but after reading this book, I am going to take more steps to protect my bones. I know now how critical that it is thanks to this book. The section on osteoporosis alone can save your life, and the sections on heart disease and blood pressure can do the same. Well worth the price of the book.

I enjoyed the book and loaned it to my daughter- in-law and my daughter. Both found the information very informative and also classified it as excellent.

This book was loaded with current information I could use about myself. I think it will be as important as Our Body Ourselves and The Wisdom of Menopause in teaching women how their bodies work, how to keep themselves healthy, how to reduce stress, and how to manage in the medical system.

...this book explains the science behind why there is an increase in cancer rates in the developed world. Our politicians may try to ignore science, but any reader can be informed about the inherent dangers of our civilized society. This book reports important findings that could save lives.

This book provides an insightful, balanced perspective on an important area of human health and well being: circadian rhythms. If these rhythms are disrupted by certain aspects of modern life, ill-health may result. In particular, such disruption may be a contributing factor in the rise risk of breast cancer in modern societies. The editors of htis book are obviously intelligent, good-looking, and above average in character.

I have been struggling with my health for over four years. It started with a bed, bad allergy flare up. The drugs used I was not told would mess me up and the doctors had no clue what the allergen was, even though I gave them all the facts. I have spent the last year surviving on student loans, grant, what little work I could keep because I would hurt myself and lose the job or be too tired to do the long hours my jobs require. I kept searching for answers on the internet and this book appeared in an article one day. I bought it. Best thing I ever did. No doctor I have seen in the last two years ever brought up anything in this book. I have since taken the saliva test advised in this book and my cortisol levels are really low, hence my hormones are also very, very low. It is a very easy to read book and I recommend it to anyone who is always tired, especially in the morning but wakes up in the evening. This book will bring so much to light and also help you see there are other problems that may need to be addressed beside your adrenal glands being messed up. The biggest problem you will have if you figure out this might be what you have is a doctor that will agree with you. I have just found one. She is a N.D. and I drive 40 miles one way to see her. It is worth every penny of gas to get there because she has found other things wrong that all tie together for the cause of my symptoms.
I highly recommend this book.

This book meant a lot to me since there is dementia in the family. After reading it I understood the disease and how doctors now try to prevent it. It empowered me to help myself. I now know mentally and emotionally and physically what to do to prevent dementia.

Following a diagnosis of cancer this book enabled me to take control of my situation and gave me the strength to work to improve my health and boost my immune system. The advice contained within the book is easy to follow and offers emotional as well as physical support.This book has sustained me through some very difficult times and I can thoroughly recommend it as a source of inspiration and strength.Terry's advice is offered in a clear easy to follow manner with the main aim of helping readers to help themselves. In a situation where one can easily feel out of control this book helps you realise there is plenty you can do to help yourself feel well and maintain a positive attitude.A great source of inspiration. It changed my life in a positive way and I have no doubt that the advice offered helped in my response to treatment and surgery.
