It is easy to read, easy to understand and easy to implement. The book includes examples and exercises for practical application. Everyone can learn something new that will improve their writing skills! We will use it again!

Customer Reviews:

Passed Boards with this book!!!.......2006-09-20

Excellent, to the point book. You will not get these quality Neurology MCQ's from some other book. Combine this with Kaufman Neurology and you are on your way to Board Certification!!!

Outdated and too simplistic.......2005-11-20

I liked the format of the book, and the explanations of the answers were thorough. It is outdated, especially regarding medications. Also, I wish I had studied more neurology; it was a lot harder than the psych stuff on the board (which I took 2 days ago), and more detailed than I thought it would be. I would have used more neuro resources, and would have spent less time with this book. There was more neuroanatomy than I expected, and that is not well covered in this volume. I think this is good for practice questions and you'll learn, but you will do better if you use other sources as well. I wish I had.

Not so good for the psych boards..........2005-10-26

Not a very good review for the neuro part of the boards, question format has many simple T/F, and "latest" second edition is from 1998... I'd recommend the Kaufman 5th ed. which was more comprehensive and had better questions.

Neurology For The Psychiatry Specialist Board.......2005-09-17

Well-done question/answer book for the neurology portion of the psychiatry boards. It's particulary helpful that the questions are broken into subject area, allowing the reader to review aparticular topic and then test their knowledge.

a useful guide.......2000-08-06

I think this book is useful, and provides a framework to study for the Boards.

Book Description

Neurology for the Specialty Boards is an ideal study guide and review for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certification and recertification exams and for the annual in-service exam taken by neurology residents. The book sharply focuses on high-yield material and includes over 200 questions at the level of difficulty encountered on the boards.

Coverage includes an extensive basic science section, a detailed review of current neurophysiological modalities, and chapters on all the clinical neurology areas covered on the boards. The largest clinical chapter is on pediatric neurology, an area that is heavily tested on the boards.

Customer Reviews:

Tons of errors.......2003-12-07

Lots of questions but many errors, including incorrect answers! If it were proofread a few times, it'd be better.

Outdated Q&A book.......2003-11-15

Unfortunately, this is one of the few books one can use for the ABPN Part I exam in neurology. This Q&A book has a lot of questions, but some are "K-type" instead of the single best answer format found on the real board exam. The answers provided are fairly good. Another unfortunate fact is that this title is currently out of print. But, until another board review Q&A book arrives, this is probably the only option (I did not find NICP Q&A book to be helpful at all!).

Book Description

The standard reference now revised and expanded. Dr. Robinson has opened up his vast photo archives to enhance this new edition of his classic work. Much of the new photographic material is published here for the first time., over 350 b/w photographs, line drawings, charts, 8 1/2" x 11"

Customer Reviews:

Very good!.......2007-01-04

This esoteric work is a gem for the history buff as well as for the airship enthusiast. The photos alone make the book worthy enough to justify the effort of cracking open one's wallet. The information on the airships - or should I say "big slow explosive aerial targets" - and the intrepid units that flew them appears to be well-researched. If only all the world's power-hungry aggressors put so much effort into doomed ideas like the airship, we'd live in a more peaceful, albiet smokier, world.

Lots of Text & Pictures - The 1 Book for German WWI Airships.......2005-01-17

My wife gave me this book for Christmas a couple years ago, and I cannot say enough good things about it. This is a subject I had a lot of passion for, and I could not be more pleased with this volume. There is a TON of information crammed into this 400+ page big book.

Let me break down the highlights:

1. PICTURES: The book goes out of its way to show you as many pictures as possible of these German WWI airships and their crews and sheds. It is simply fascinating to watch the development of airships throughout the war (as the pre-War DELAG designs give way to more modern rudders and shapes...to the height-climbers painted black on the underbelly to confuse anti-aircraft fire). There are many many good sized pictures.

2. AIRSHIP RAID REPORTS: This feature just stuns me. Every single raid is documented in chart form, complete with which Zeppelins participated in the raid, take-off and landing times, distance ship travelled, average speed, number of crew, fuel use, oil used, hydrogen used, and (onimously) whether it returned to Germany safely or not.

3. HISTORY: 19 of the 24 Chapters are devoted to the WWI history of German combat airships. One warning: the commentary is slightly dry. You have to be pretty interested in the subject to get into the storyline. The book has depth, and will reward the studious reader. This is nearly primary-source information.

4. AIRSHIP HEROES: Peter Strasser (Naval Head of German WWI Airship Division) and Heinrich Mathy (one of the more successful airship captains) are quite prominent. There are stories of many other airshipmen as well. The personal aspect is a huge strength of this book.

5. OTHER AIRSHIPS: Also covered are not just Zeppelins, but Schutte-Lanz airships, which were rigids with wooden frames (verses aluminum in Zeppelins). Peter Strasser was not a big fan of these "glue potters" as he called them.

WARNING: This is a fairly technical book. If you want an airship book for more casual reading, check out "The Hindenburg - Illustrated History" by Rick Archbold. It is much lighter, but not nearly as detailed on this era of airships.

Quire simply: Authoratative........2004-03-16

Douglas H. Robinson spent a number of years at Friedrichshafen at Zeppelin. This is primary source material for anyone interested in the history of airships. The research in this book is expemplary. The level of detail is fascinating. And it is very well written. Highly recommended!

The best book ever published on the subject........1997-03-11

In the 1996 hit film 'Independance Day' the terrified populance of the worlds major cities cringe as huge ships of an invading force hover overhead. While that movie was simply escapist entertainment, something strikingly similar happened (over London, at least) during World War I; Germany tried to force England into submision using that uniquely German invention, the Zeppelin. 'The Zeppelin in Combat' by Douglas H. Robinson, is regarded as the standard reference on this particular facet of WWI. The book documents the trials, tribulations, and tragedies of the attempt to make the airship into a viable weapon. Covered is the role of the airship in the famous Naval battle of Jutland, an extraordinary attempt to supply troops in Central Africa via airship, and several vivid accounts of British pilots that successfully shot down Zeppelins. Other topics include the story of one crew downed in the north sea, who's eventual fate was revealed by a note washed ashore in a bottle. Another crew became the only hostile forces to march over English soil during either world war when they were forced down during a raid (although not too terribly hostile, they were captured en masse by a lone policeman on a bicycle). Personalities include Hienrich Mathy, the Red Baron of airships, and Peter Stasser, the Naval leader of airships whose almost religious belief in the airship as a weapon of war lead to his own death in an Zeppelin off the coast of England. This revised edition includes many photos published for the first time. For the serious airship enthusiast, this book provides fascinating reading. One caveat, however; the book is published by Shiffer Military History, and contains numerous typo's (as many Shiffer books do). But all in all, they should be applauded for publishing a book at all on such an arcane subject

Book Description

A guide to the birds and birding areas of Colorado's Front Range. Emphasis is placed on the relationship of the birds to the region's varied habitats. Five life zones are covered, from the High Plains to the alpine tundra. This book, illustrated with maps and photos, is an excel- lent resource for beginning birdwatchers and for those travelling to Colorado.

Customer Reviews:

A reader from the high plains of Colorado.......2000-06-02

The description is a little misleading. This book does have information concerning the habitats in Colorado but within easy access from Denver and Colorado Springs and, in my opinion, does not accurately represent the front range. It gives locations of where birds were spotted but as a beginning bird watcher I am more interested in identifying the birds. There are no descriptions or photos of the types of birds. There are some photos but most appear to be scenic in nature and except for the front cover photo, they're all black and white.
