I had the pleasure of taking Dr. Summerfield's graduate course that uses this textbook. I took the course several years ago, however, it is by far still my "nutrition bible." It is simple to use, full of the basics, and I always end up refering back to it several times a year for work or for my own private interest. It is a must have for your library.
A must read for any business owner. This book clearly outlines and justifies the proper formulation of business and functional level strategies. Expertly written, with plenty of supporting data and simple to understand charts and illustrations. (this is a real kindle ver and not just a searchable pdf).
Only 3 chapters in - but a amazing tutorial to ysis of a company, including an Appendix section that covers how to do a case - and 30 cases to review. Wondering what the fresh edition has (bought after 13ed released, prof. is cool and not updating) - but not going to pay for it!Edited to Add: I completed the class and read the entire book cover to cover (except cases). Very well written and I feel as though I have a solid reference for strategic ysis concepts.
Very amazing textbook and simple to read e only thing that was a issue was the little font type used for the chapters. Sure hope the publisher revises the next edition with a bigger font. Other than that very amazing info and the power points were excellent. Hope other students also do well with this.
We were needed to buy this book for our second year medical school course- at first I was not impressed but the more I go through it, the better the book has gotten. I bought the kindle ver because there weren't enough hard copies. The kindle ver figures are misplaced in the text which is really annoying but I'm getting use to it. You will read a section, text will mention a figure but the figure will be embedded within another section of text further in the chapter. Seems like an simple fix to place the figures right after the text that mentions them. I hope they consider replacing the figures to be directly after the text section that first mentions the figure-- would be the largest improvement they can e book has lengthy explanations with wordy sentence structure making it difficult to follow concepts at times but actually has really amazing explanations. The photos are useful and easy to understand. Captions under the photos sum up the content nicely. So far covering everything we need to know in class.
I purchased this book to go along with the MIT begin courseware material that is available online. By following along with the lectures in the book and taking notes, you can obtain the experience of the actual class and learn quite a bit. The teachers of this class are awesome and support explain the subjects covered in the text well enough to learn the material. The only issue I had with the book is just my private preference to begin off any introductory class dealing with electronics with the physics of electrons and the chemistry of molecular interaction. That method you can understand what is event inside the copper wire before learning about integrated circuits. The book starts off with an intro to integrated circuits and computer architecture, then in chapter 2 goes on to the physics of semiconductors. So the info IS there, I just felt it was out of order but it makes some sense if you follow along with the online course. [...]along the left panel of the www service you will see the links to the lectures and syllabus if interested.
This is the worst textbook that I have ever read. The authors create method too a lot of assumptions in deriving their equations. Also, their approximations seem very sketchy and go without proper justification. All of these assumptions and approximations create it near impossible to understand anything, and so the student is just left with a bunch of meaningless equations. The end-of-chapter issues and excercises thus become just plug-and-chug, and they teach the student absolutely nothing about semiconductor devices. The issues are only difficult in that the student must find through the 150 or so large equations in each chapter to search the correct one to plug the numbers into. No insight is gained.
I have used several textbooks on integrated circuits in undergraduate classes that I teach, and I search this the best I could find. It contains an in-depth coverage of the electrostatics of semiconductor devices, with a lot of practical examples, so students actually obtain to understand the physics of how transistors work. It also covers the fundamentals of microelectronic circuits at a level that is simple to grasp by junior and senior engineering students.
Charles Sodini is a professor at MIT who teaches 6.012 (Microelectronic Circuits and Devices) and is the co-author of this book, which we use in his e textbook is very well organized and gives very clear examples and numerous practice and design issues to play with. The derivations are simple to follow and the diagrams are well notated and complement the text.6.012 is a one semester course at MIT covering all the subjects discussed in the textbook. In addition to weekly issue sets (which are nothing more than the P issues from the textbook), the course is supplimented by a design project (similar to a design question you might search in chapter 13, but at a bigger scale), and two laboratories in device characterization (sadly, only available for MIT students). SPICE is used meone mentioned that the issues seem like plug-and-chug, but I think the book is trying to teach you intuition so when you handle realistic issues (such as those presented in the design project questions), you have an idea of how to approach it through rough hand-calculations and then follow up with more precise measurements in SPICE.
This is one of the best books explaining the pn junction, bipolar transistors, MOS capacitor , and the MOSFET. The derivation are extremely clear and logical,and every question that you think of is answered in the next line. This book is for someone who already have taken some course in electronics, and who really wants some solid understanding of the devices, all that without being a genious in semiconductor physics. Gauss's low, and KVL is almost all that is needed. Derivations are extremely clear, and thorough.
My son developed a moderate stuttering issue at age 5. I found the book helpful. It's not so much a tutorial for dealing with the issue (like do steps A, B, and C then you're cured) as it is a review of the current applied research. It's a lot more info than I've found anywhere else. It left us very prepared to talk with speech the end, I had to conclude that nobody is sure why this happens or whether early intervention really mother mentioned by change that I stuttered badly for a short time and recovered. The text discusses that there is a powerful relationship within families. Sure enough, at age 5 1/2, my son's stuttering is down to almost nothing. It was quite a relief.
I used this for a human physiology course at college. The book was excellent for the course and gave detailed explanations of everything covered in class. The physiology of all the major organ systems is covered as well as some integrative physiology such as senses that combined multiple organ systems. The discussions of biology at the cellular level are just enough to understand what is event at the tissue level.An interesting point is that the people in example diagrams are very diverse racially, gender-wise, and age-wise. I appreciated this diversity-conscious approach to the illustrations.I have found from looking at my friends' 5th edition textbooks that it is not all that various from this edition, and I would recommend any cash-strapped student to buy the 4th edition.
I've never seen another physiology text, but this one doesn't impress me. The organization seems a bit scattered, and I've found info to be lacking. It seems more geared towards coursework, and less as a reference work.I do like the running issues (applying concepts to real-world scenarios) and how the book puts the problems in context.I'd recommend this book if you wish to sit down and read a chapter and obtain a general idea of how everything fits together, but for a reference book (if you wish to look up the affects of hormone x on receptor Y, for example) there's got to be something better out there.
Just received my item and it is bent in on multiple corners. One of the seams is ripped. The cover is dirty, dusty, and bent. The book seems used. Some of the pages have ink blotched on them. This is ridiculous. I paid for a fresh book! As a college student I chose to spend additional cash to obtain this book brand new. I should obtain a fresh book. Not something that looks like it was run over and kicked around in its box. The box was also damaged as well that it came in. I’m not happy!
Used this textbook for my uni course in Human Physiology. It has rather amazing content and the illustrations/graphs/figures and captions are quite helpful in visualising what you are learning. The only downside is it's super expensive fresh (but honestly which textbooks aren't), so search a used copy!

I guess I can give it a break because it's only a 2nd edition but there are SOOOI a lot of mistakes in the homework issues it's incredibly frustrating to test and learn such a difficult topic when at least one issue per chapter is answered wrong in the solutions manual. At least I have my teacher to support me out.
Just what I needed. I only required the text book. For those who can’t seem to read the description- this is a text book only, no access code. If some people would read a small below the description then they’ll see which book they need to find for to obtain the access code they need. But if all you’re looking for is the book then this is it. Excellent for what I need.
The book has everything you need. It contains a www service for help and is SPSS compliant. As a psy-D major I search this book useful. I do well with research because I truly have fun it and even though math was never my powerful point, I oddly always found statistics simple to work with. This book, for me, was just for keeping me up to date, and possibly present me a fresh method at looking at methods. It accomplished that so it was worth the e book is not dry like most text books, instead it is engaging and simple to read. Any time you search an educational book like that, it’s a keeper
DON'T BUY/RENT THIS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN ACCESS CODE. This rental does NOT come with one despite the actual TITLE of this product saying "PLUS MASTERING A&P WITH eTEXT -- ACCESS CARD PACKAGE" TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. I could have gotten a cheaper book but I rented this one because it said it came with the access card package. That was a blatant LIE. Just be aware of that before you purchase/rent.
I found this textbook simple to read and very interesting! I actually didn't fall asleep reading the text! The photos, tables, diagrams, and figures were very clear and explained very well (there were only a few that I want had a more detailed explanation). It's usually so hard for me to obtain through a science textbook. Maybe it's because physiology is such an interesting subject or maybe it's because the writers really considered how to create things easier for students to understand or maybe it's because I haven't read other physiology textbooks. Whatever the case, I wouldn't have been able to pass my physiology class with a decent grade without it. The level 1,2, and 3 questions were also really helpful and I appreciate that all the answers were actually place in the back (my past math textbooks only gave answers to odd numbered questions).
I purchased this book here on amazon in order to complete my physiology class. However, upon receiving my book, I discovered that there was no access card inside. Aside from this, the book was great... however I just could not justify the purchase again without a guaranteed access card, as I paid additional for this copy since it was advertised that it came with it included.
Useful review?
For 2016, this is very outdated. This is not a matter of info being too primary (as in: for someone just beginning their nutrition education journey). A lot of concepts and views have been long since changed (one easy example: The book states that fats are not satiating at all... We [maybe] thought that about 40 years ago... So where's the update??), and a few other locations where points created are quite misinformative. I could not finish reading past chapter 5. I tried, but the amount of old or not good info is upsetting. I do not recommend.

I found this book to be one of the most straight-forward and simple to read texts. I initially purchased as a rental for a class and then turned around and purchased it to have as a reference for future classes and/or needs.
