Medicine at a Glance (At a Glance S.)
Added on 08-02-2006
In Medicine at a Glance, the editor and expert author team have produced a concise revision text, which provides medical students and junior doctors with a unique introduction and guide to the core curriculum in medicine.
Medicine at a Glance follows the familiar, double-page format of the at a Glance series. This excellent book is divided into two sections covering over 60 clinical presentations and over 150 diseases. The clinical presentations section focuses on the signs and symptoms of common medical presentations. Topics cover the differential diagnoses of common complaints, together with simple approaches to making a diagnosis. The section on medical diseases covers the major medical conditions in a logical way, providing the reader with the basic facts necessary for an understanding of each topic.
The book’s simplicity of structure and fantastic colour summary diagrams combine to provide a vital tool for recall of key facts relevant to the medical course. Medicine at a Glance will be an indispensable guide for busy medical students and will be useful as an aide-mémoire for examinations and for work in the clinic and on the ward. --synopsis, RxPG

And he goes on to become the best architect around. Is Dominique the spoilt, beautiful daughter of a rich Baron or is she the most sensible amongst all?
Though Ayn Rand says the same thing in all her books, reading her books is always an experience. --kavita bhavesh gala, RxPG

Doctors
Added on 03-02-2006
The central characters of the book are Laura Castellano and Barney Livingston; best friends who attend Harvard Medical School together. It takes many years filled with scientific celebrity and disappointing affairs for them to finally to realize that they have something more than friendship for each other. Laura Castellano's character is truly an inspiration to women folk everywhere. She achieves success in her work but at the cost of her personal life. After a particularly bad relation he advises her in a beautiful one liner, "One complete person deserves another complete person". -- DR NINAD KANT MISHR, RxPG

The Godfather
Added on 03-02-2006
This was the first big people novel I read in school. And maybe, because of this book, I am still hooked to novels. Mario Puzo created something so great with this book that he should never have tried to write again because nothing can compare to Godfather.
I dont think there will be anybody who does not know the story line. --kavita bhavesh gala, RxPG

The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Added on 02-02-2006
Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sense a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalucian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.
Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --synopsis, RxPG
