First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, 2010 (First Aid USMLE) Review

I just got my FA 2010 yesterday. Here are the differences I noticed when compared to the 2008 edition:

1. A few of the colored pictures are new and they incorporated a lot of gray colored pictures inside the notes. In the evolution of MI, for example, they have real pictures instead of drawn pictures in the 2008 edition.
2. Some of the information are converted to table and graph format, which I liked. And they labeled some of the old charts and graphs for easier understanding.
3. In terms of new information, I think anywhere from 1-5 % are new, depending on section. In the cardio section, for example, half a page of vascular tumors are added.

Overall I would buy it if I still have more than a few months to study for the exam.

Product Description

For generations, visitors, journalists, and social scientists alike have asserted that Chicago is the quintessentially American city. Indeed, the introduction to "The New Chicago" reminds us that 'to know America, you must know Chicago'. The authors boldly announce the demise of the city of broad shoulders and the transformation of its physical, social, cultural, and economic institutions into a new Chicago. In this wide-ranging book, twenty scholars, journalists, and activists, relying on data from the 2000 census and many years of direct experience with the city, identify five converging forces in American urbanization which are reshaping this storied metropolis. The twenty-six essays included here analyze Chicago by way of globalization and its impact on the contemporary city; economic restructuring; the evolution of machine-style politics into managerial politics; physical transformations of the central city and its suburbs; and, race relations in a multicultural era.
In elaborating on the effects of these broad forces, contributors detail the role of eight significant racial, ethnic, and immigrant communities in shaping the character of the new Chicago and present ten case studies of innovative governmental, grassroots, and civic action. Multi-faceted and authoritative, "The New Chicago" offers an important and unique portrait of an emergent and new 'Windy City'.

The New Chicago: A Social and Cultural Analysis Review

The New Chicago is one of the few books available covering contemporary history of Chicago. This book is a must for anyone interested in post-World's Fair Chicago history. Illustrating the evolution of a quintessential American city this book lays an excellent ground work for further analysis of American cities in general. I suggest looking into the University of Chicago's "Committee on the History of Culture" for more sources.

Managing Challenging Clients: Building Effective Relationships with Difficult Customers Review

Aryanne's writing style is easy and informal and the book is really well printed. I found the subect matter quite engrossing and if you coach executives and employees or are working with small business clients it could prove an invaluable reference book.

It's about building effective relationships with challenging or difficult customers and the strategies and exercises she includes would be really useful to pass on to clients who are having challenges in this area.

Aryanne also provides many really specific, detailed and useful case studies of challenging client or customer situations. She perfectly illustrates how they may have been badly handled and demonstrates a better way of dealing with them.

Product Description

One of the twentieth century� �s most important poets, W. H. Auden stands as an eloquent example of an individual within whom thought and faith not only coexist but indeed nourish each other. This book is the first to explore in detail how Auden’s religious faith helped him to come to terms with himself as an artist and as a man, despite his early disinterest in religion and his homosexuality. Auden and Christianity shows also how Auden� s Anglican faith informs, and is often the explicit subject of, his poetry and prose.

Arthur Kirsch, a leading Auden scholar, discusses the poet’s boyhood religious experience and the works he wrote before emigrating to the United States as well as his formal return to the Anglican Communion at the beginning of World War II. Kirsch then focuses on Auden’s criticism and on neglected and underestimated works of the poet’s later years. Through insightful readings of Auden� �s writings and biography, Kirsch documents that Auden� �s faith and his religious doubt were the matrix of his work and life.</P>

Auden and Christianity Review

The older W. H. Auden was not outspoken about his religious convictions, but his Christianity does underpin many of his later poems, and the most sensitive readers of Auden have always known it. Now Arthur Kirsch has produced an excellent, readable study of this often-neglected aspect of Auden's life and poetry. The book is short and accessible to the student, but also interesting to the specialist. Kirsch demonstrates, conclusively I think, what other critics like Monroe Spears and Edward Mendelson have suggested more generally: that Auden's Christianity in all its peculiarities is central to the poetry of his middle and later periods. Other critics have argued that the Christianity that Auden espoused in the early 1940s was a fatal imposition upon an otherwise brilliant early career, but Kirsch reveals the extent to which Auden's religion informed and energized many of his well-known poems, even those that are admired by readers who despise Auden's religion.

Kirsch admits that he writes the book "from the outside," that is, as a non-Christian. That is both an asset and a liability. Kirsch's personal disinterestedness in the Christian religion allows him to explore Auden's somewhat heterodox views without being tempted to shoehorn the poet into a artificially orthodox categories, though there are points at which Kirsch ascribes to Auden more heterodox ideas than are necessarily warranted by the best evidence available. (For example, his account on pages 20-22 of Auden's doubting the resurrection of Christ should be more nuanced.) Nevertheless, Kirsch is almost always accurate in his assessment of Auden's personal beliefs and produces sound but not copious evidence from both poetry and prose to make a compelling case. But as a non-Christian, Kirsch is not always aware of certain theological nuances that were important to Auden. A reader will search in vain for detailed explanations of Auden's "Augustinian" outlook on human nature, for instance, or for his early antipathy towards "natural law." To be fair though, Kirsch did not set out to write a detailed account of the theological particularities of Auden's religion, so it is understandable that he occasionally conflates distinct theological ideas and overgeneralizes about the variegated nature of Christianity generally. However much a theologically nuanced book on Auden's religion would help readers of Auden, this is not that book. But it is the best comprehensive overview of Auden's religion that we have so far seen, and for that all readers of Auden must be grateful.

Product Description

Native American Transracial Adoptees Tell Their Stories presents twenty interviews with Native American adoptees raised in non-Native homes. Through the in-depth interviews they conduct with each participant, the authors explore complex questions of cultural identity formation. The participants of the study represent a range of positive and negative experiences of transracial adoption. Regardless of their personal experiences, however, all twenty respondents indicate that they are supporters of the Indian Child Welfare Act and that they believe that Native children should be raised in Native households whenever possible. However, eighteen of the twenty respondents concede that non-Native families can raise Native children to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults. Through the interviews, Simon and Hernandez allow readers to better understand the different experiences of Native American adoptees.

Native American Transracial Adoptees Tell Their Stories Review

This is a great collection. I use it to teach university classes about identity in the United States. I just love that the stories are real and gritty. The subjects are all so different from each other. The students who read this book learn quickly that you can't generalize from one story.
