Full of errors
This book is rife with mathematical errors, both in the text and in the solved problems or their answers. I skipped over many of the problems in the first half of the book and still encountered an error every few pages. In the second half of the book, there are many parts that have a mathematical error on every page, sometimes more than one error per page. If you already know the math you can spot the errors, but if you haven't already taken classes in the math this book is about, it will lead you astray and confuse you badly. Most of the errors are in the answers to problems, and if you can use Maple or Mathematica you can find out the correct answer, though it's a terrific waste of time. But there are also serious factual (mathematical) errors in the text itself. These are probably typos; there are other errors and style inconsistencies that make me think the book has not been proofread even cursorily.

I emailed McGraw-Hill about this. When I first wrote this review, I had not received a reply from them after waiting almost two weeks. However, after 2 1/2 weeks, I did receive a reply from an editor apologizing, informing me that they were going to contact the authors to "rectify every error" for the next reprint, offering a refund of my purchase price, and thanking me for informing them.

Better late than never, and I'm much more inclined to consider Schaum books in the future now. If I eventually find a newer printing on the shelves, I'll check a few of the errors I know about and update this review as to whether they were corrected.

Useful for brushing up on undergrad math only
This book is a pretty good review of undergraduate college mathematics through differential equations. It stays on a pretty elementary level. Two-thirds of the book is dedicated to precalculus topics and calculus involving single variable functions. The last section of the book squeezes multi-variable calculus, differential equations, and even vector calculus into just a few chapters. The problems are unique - they are pretty useful at showing how you use the various types of math reviewed to work some physics problems. However, if you are looking for a more advanced math tutorial aimed at physics students I suggest "The Mathematics of Classical and Quantum Physics" by Byron. That book includes discussions and problems on the theory of vector spaces, analytic function theory, Green's function method of solving ODE's and PDE's, and the theory of groups. Plus the price is low at between ten and twenty dollars depending on whether you get it used or new, making it comparable in price to this book. However, if you feel you are not up to conquering Byron's book, this outline would be an excellent warm-up for it.

Product Description
Ethical rational, facts, and center techniques for choosing kidney donors all in one volume. This is the first book of its kind, devoted solely to preoperative issues for living kidney donors and those who counsel them. The eight chapters are devoted to vital areas that are comprehensively addressed by experienced professionals. The book presents a unified ethical and factual approach that is essential for all transplant centers to understand. It is a readable and understandable ethical foundation for living kidney donation that is free of jargon. It includes balanced, hard to find factual summaries that are essential for acceptable kidney donor counseling. As transplant centers increasingly turn to living kidney donors, this book is an essential step forward in the field.
The book will appeal to transplant physicians and surgeons, transplant coordinators and social workers, nephrologists who have patients on dialysis or who evaluate potential living kidney donors and to potential living kidney donors and their recipients. As a practical application of medical ethics to an important field, it will be of interest to medical ethicists as well. ... Read more

Serrano: Works '83-93
This exhibition catalogue for Serrano's show at the ICA in Philadelphia features 3 essays and 35 plates.The essays are well written, and a pleasure to read due to the (unfortunately) rare format of having each work described in the text also in thumbnail form on the same page.Each of the large format plates (printed one to a page) is printed in lavish color and touches on each of the various 'series' Serrano produced from '83 to '93, which include the body fluids, the Nomads, the Klansmen, the Church, etc.

If you are looking for beautiful, large format pictures of this period of Serrano's career, then this is the book for you.More plates are always better, but until a more definitive monograph is produced, this slim volume will more than suffice. ... Read more

Product Description
Let's face it, for most men, poetry is as about as enjoyable as watching a "chick flick" on a Sunday afternoon when a championship football game is also airing at the same time. We may smile and nod and tell our significant other that we are having a great time, but we're actually thinking of a convenient way to excuse ourselves long enough to at least find out the score.Worse yet, when our buddies ask about our weekend, we conveniently forget to mention that we missed the big game for the movie. However, months or years later when we remember that afternoon, more often than not, we don't think about the game but how much we enjoyed the movie and how appreciative our significant other was.Think of Poetry 4 Men the same way.While it might not be a men's magazine, or the latest bestselling novel, or a sports publication, it is filled with the same subject matter.From breasts to cars to sports to war, you'll find a compendium of topics that will leave you thinking that maybe poetry isn't too bad after all.So, go ahead, impress your buddies, your colleagues, and your significant other with your literary prowess.So open up that can of beer, drink that latte, or sip that cup of tea and enjoy yourself.You might actually like it. ...
