Good book, I learned a lot about PT operations from a realistic perspective.  I had no idea about the differences in boats from the various manufacturers, and the differing weapons complements as well. I was dismayed by the very significant numbers of torpedoes missing their targets or malfunctioning.  The book was largely repetitive about the nature of the attacks, more personal detail and depth would have been more captivating.  A lot of inconsequential detail about individual boats and crews, added nothing to the enjoyment of the book and the PT boats' war efforts.

All in all, worth a read, but not a prizewinner in my view.

This book is very informative to anyone looking to get into the world of Air Force Special Tactics Teams. Allows you to see what the jobs are of these brave individuals, and what you must endure during the riggors of earning the title of combat controller or a "pj".  Although I do believe the past standards in this book are the older ones and they have been changed.

I was already on a weight loss regimen as I was looking for something to switch up my routine because I hit a plateau. I just started yesterday and I will update my review after a month on this plan.  My one complaint about the book is that the process of carb cycling as described in the book (Different Cycles, 9 Minute Missions, Shredders) can get a little tricky. But after taking time to plan my menu and learn the nuances of nine minute missions, I'm good. Also, I'd love more examples of healthy fats. But it has forced me to do research, which is probably a good thing. I went through all of the written exercises in the book and I felt they were valuable. One of the most crucial things I took away from the book in regards to preparing mentally for a weight loss plan is making promises to myself and following through and making S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound) Goals. Overall this book was a good buy for me. Hopefully a month from now I will see results.

I do computer tech work as a hobby and hope to get A+ certified sometime soon.  I have only read a little over 200 pages (out of 1100+ pages) of the book.  I think that it is very informative and interesting.  I have even used the book to figure out a problem that I was having with a PC! I would recommend this book.

Good read with a nice mix of technical facts and important things to know. Would like to see better reviews of production trawlers that are more common.

Detailed info about each theater of use and the individual actions. It is hard to find information about the PT Boats so the detail was welcome but I wouldn't call it a thrilling read. It was informative though so two thumbs way up!

Ok, let me start off by saying I have Type II, not Type I, and I have been diagnosed for only a couple of years.  I take oral medication once a day and my blood sugars are well controlled.  I really enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot.  That said, this book proposes a radical diet that looks like it would be extremely hard to follow.  But, if one has Type I, this looks like a way to go in order to end up with stable blood sugars and extraordinary control.

The section on how to choose the best artificial sweeteners and why one needs to use tablets for most and not packets was very informative.  Likewise the section on making operational sense of carbohydrate figures and the lists of "good" and "bad" foods. I also thought his comments about glycemic load diets made good sense.  Good stuff and very clearly presented.

What seemed problematic to me was his 6+12+12 grams of carbohydrate approach to each day's meals.  My wife does not have diabetes and this approach would make it hard for us to share meals.  In fact, I was having difficulty figuring out what we could *share* under this tight rigor.

I have not yet tried the recipes in this book, but most look rather similar to ones I have seen elsewhere.  In some cases, they are markedly less creative than recipes in other books.  But, I have switched over from Equal packets to SweetLeaf Stevia packets and drops (as Dr. B.  recommended) and to Agave Nectar (instead of Da Vinci syrup as he recommends).

Most folks do not know that I have diabetes.  I am not hiding the fact, but I see no reason to worry them or to cause them to interact differently with me.  I simply say, "I've given up sweets" when they offer home-baked goods or salt water taffy from their vacation. I suspect it would be hard to follow Dr. B's extreme diet and still have lunches with colleagues.

My plan is to incorporate into my diet as many of the concepts and approaches in this book as I am able, but to do so within the framework of a more normal diet.  I think I will keep this program in the wings and see if this less extreme approach works for me for the present.  I can always go to this diet in future if I begin to have more difficulties.

If you have not read Dr. B's book, I think you will find it very helpful, even if you decide not to follow his diet.  You will learn enough to improve your food selections and enhance control of your BG.

Great book for those interested in AF surgery and history of surgical ablation of AF
Information I have not seen anywhere else

This book gives a very good thumb nail sketch of how the system works. I would advise speaking with your pharmacy personnel because they can add a third dimension to the problems you will encounter when purchasing your medicine through the Part "D"
program. While you are at it, you might ask your pharmacist which of the many providers he favors. Then order their work book
and sit down and go through all the medications you will need. The normal person on medication who only gets level one and two
meds. may never get to the doughnut hole. If you are comparing your costs to a Employer provider plan, your costs on Part "D"
plan for the same meds. may come out much higher. This book is well written and good to get your feet wet on a most difficult
subject.

I'm still working on this book, but it's good. A lot of information to absorb. I appreciate the author trying to help people before they go in for surgery, to try and change their life and habits before getting so extreme as to have the surgery.

This book was a quick read and incredibly informative. While much of the information can be found elsewhere, it is great to hear the perspective of someone who has interviewed PT school candidates. There was a lot in this book that I hadn't considered before, so I'm glad I read it.

I like his writing style

The book was sent to me in really good condition. The time that it took for the book to be sent to me was a very short period.
The book is rather large but full of informational tests and anatomy. I would recommend this book to physical therapists and student physical therapists.

As a former classmate of Monie Phillips I can attest to his commitment to the profession of Physical Therapy.  This book is a great first read for anyone interested in becoming a physical therapist.  It provides insights into many of the challanges of the modern healthcare enviroment and how this relates to physical therapists in a broad spectrum of settings all of which the author has had experience in.  This book will also be of great interest for students and new grads to help them be prepared for situations they are sure to face.  More experienced therapists will enjoy and relate to the author's experiences he has shared of his practice as a therapist, a director of a rehab facility, and many other roles.

I found this book to be very informative about sensory disorders and ways to help children overcome them.

The first section dealt with the types of sensory disorders.  This became somewhat drawn out for me.  There were paragraphs about each type of sensory processing along with a chart of normal and SPD kids reactions.  I found that the charts were more interesting to read and that I was able to see the disconnection of the child with SPD much better.  The checklists for identifying which SPD your child might have were interesting in the details it provides.  Unfortunately(?), my son never really fell into one category but had a few "hits" in many categories.

The second part dealt with ways to help SPD kids overcome their issues.  I found this section to be the best part of the book.  It showed ways to provide support at home and at school.  It gave examples again between normal and SPD kids.  I found myself highlighting much of the chapter on how to help kids with SPD progress.  I'm looking forward to working with my son on those activities.

Overall, the book was very good.  For those who have researched SPD before, the first section might be a bit repetitive.  But, the second section was well worth it!

This is an excellent book! It has great information and I feel has helped to improve my critical thinking abilities as an RN. It starts out talking about the human body at the cellular level and goes through all the major body functions then ties it into thinking critically about each pt situation. It is an easy read and breaks things down into easy to understand concepts. I recommend this book all the time to my coworkers.
