Overall, I would say this book was disappointing. Admittedly, I had high expectation after reading "Clean Code". Perhaps it was the rather too personal anecdotes that initially turned me off. I would say you are better of reading "Pragmatic Programmer" and a book on Scrum XP and software project estimation.
As other reviews have said, it feels like a collection of blog articles published in a book.

Chapter 1. Professionalism
The book got off to a bad start for me… the first chapter on professionalism:
"Do the math. In a week there are 168 hours. Give your employer 40, and your career another 20. That leaves 108. Another 56 for sleep leaves 52 for everything else.

Perhaps you don’t want to make that kind of commitment, That’s fine, but should not think of yourself as a professional. Professionals spend time caring for their profession."

Really? 20 hours per week; so if you spend 10 per week reading blogs, listening to podcasts, doing kata’s etc… you are no longer a professional? While I agree, you have to take personal responsibility for your career, asserting that you have to spend 20 hours a week seems over the top to me. Perhaps the author wishes to be controversial and overly opinionated to provoke debate?

Chapter 4. Coding.
The section on listening to music while coding has a truly bizarre anecdote:
"One day I went back into a module that I been editing while listening to the opening sequence of The Wall. The comments in that code contained lyrics from the piece, and editorial notations about dive bombers and crying babies."

I’m guessing lots of people listen to music while coding without a problem.
In "The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers," Uncle Bob Martin is his usual, controversial self, but he is often convincing. One upshot is that I will never again tell a manager that "I’ll try" to hit an overly ambitious deadline: I will either commit or refuse to commit, or offer an estimate of the odds of success. On the topic of deadlines, Martin observes that project managers and "suits" regard completion dates as commitments, while programmers tend to regard them as estimates, usually overly optimistic estimates. He makes the case that it is the professional duty of programmers to come up with realistic estimates and then stick to their guns.

Another good point Martin makes is that a professional programmer should take the responsibility to hone his or her skills outside working hours. He recommends working a focused and productive 40 hours a week, and then spending 20 hours a week on career development: reading, learning other languages, even practicing programming "katas".

One of the most controversial claims Martin makes is that getting into "the zone" – that mental state of total concentration for which programmers strive – is a bad idea, because it results in too narrow a focus. Personally, I’m not convinced. I think that the problems of focused programming can be remedied by being sure to take a big-picture view from time to time, and also by code reviews.

A problem with this book is Martin’s use of overstatement to indicate emphasis. So when he says "never, never, never" agree to meet a deadline by working extra hard and long, he means "hardly ever". His insistence that agreeing to accelerate effort inevitably result in low quality code just does not wash.

Where is our nation’s health-care system headed in the next decade? And how will we cope with the inevitable collision of rising costs, politics and human needs?

This excellent book is one of the best overviews I’ve read on the topic. First published in late 2001, it’s now available in an updated 2nd edition. It was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and compiled by the Institute for the Future. Even if you don’t agree with all of the predictions, you will respect the honesty and thoroughness of the editors’ work.

Unlike works of social criticism and political diatribe, this volume avoids most partisan positions in favor of evidence-based conclusions on the following main topics:

1. America’s changing demographic structure (not just age, but also ethnicity, socio-economic status and other variables)

2. The changing role of hospitals and related health-care institutions

3. Political and economic pressures on rising health-care costs

4. The rise of tiered health-care and insurance changes

5. New directions for health-care technologies, such as targeted pharmaceuticals and imaging

6. Patterns in health-care employment and professional training

This well-written book is packed with valuable charts, graphs, source-notated facts and objective statistics from a wide variety of reliable sources. No matter what your position on each issue, you’ll find this a volume a tremendous resource for analysis and discussion. Well done!

This text book is out of date even though it is a forecast up to 2010. The copywrite on it is 2000. Some of the issues the author presents are current for the year 2005 and this is already 2007.

Anyone who writes about the future of anything takes risks that it will be dated before the ink is dry. This books moves beyond the usual futuristic predictions and gives good direction for the future. of course, reading it in 2008, when the book is written for predictions only to 2010 it had few surprises. But worthy of a read.

If you’re in nursing school and specifically LPN school, this is the textbook that is starting to be used for the "Human Growth and Development" class being taught. Many textbooks I purchase for school I end up regretting purchIDg (especially when I buy new) at the end of the class because I come to find out, most of what is discussed in class and what we’re tested on comes from the instructor’s lecture and sometimes doesn’t even correlate with the book. I’ve heard this from students at other nursing school too so it isn’t just my instructor.

I will say though, if you simply read the book for some pretty detailed knowledge about growth and development, you will be satisfied. Starting at fertilization and going through late-adulthood, the author does a wonderful job of giving very specific information about each stage of life. For those of us with children, we can correlate the information to our own lives easier but even students in my class without children did very well in the class and even said they felt much more prepared for when the time comes that they decide to have children.

The book is paperback and isn’t very thick, especially when compared to most textbooks and the price is reasonable for the information you’re receiving. If it’s a required text, you have to buy it, but even if it’s not, I’d recommend getting it, even if you have to buy used because I think you’ll enjoy the information in this book.

*** If you found this review helpful in any way, please let me know. I’d also love hearing from you in the comments section, especially if you have specific questions about the book. ***

This book is on the required reading list of my program to certify therapeutic harpists in their work in clinical settings. I found this book to be a comprehensive and easy to read textbook for education about all phases and stages of life, from many aspects – physical, emotional, psycho-social and spiritual. The book can be easily read by a layperson who wants to be informed about the human being across the lifespan.

This book is easy to read and understand, and contains lots of great information. It reinforces material learned in psychology class, and adds a medical side to it through the years as our bodies age. Very helpful and a good refresher.

this book was missing chapters 34-38. the pages on chapter 39-42 were all mixed up, this took a lot of time to figure out and try to read accordingly. It was pretty frustrating as you don’t realize until 34 chapters into the text that there is information missing.

While public health biology can be a hard topic, this book teaches it well. The chapters are shorter than a normal textbook, which makes them manageable (and certainly helps my attitude towards reading them!). The book also does not get lost in too much detail, which I appreciate because considering the intended audience for this book (Professor Battle’s Undergrad class) there is no need for it to do so. I enjoyed the book, will definitely be keeping it as a reference as I advance in my Public Health career.

While this book touches on numerous important public health concerns, it was hard to get past the spelling errors and the choppy thought processes. I was also surprised that, while giving an example of seizures, the author decided to input their interpretation of the Bible. It was very strange. I have only read 6 chapters and am uncertain if I will even continue through to the end. I’m very disappointed in this book.

Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease Audible – Unabridged ridged
Author: Robert H. Lustig ID: B00ANR0WGM

Robert Lustig’s 90-minute YouTube video Sugar: The Bitter Truth has been viewed more than two million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years. In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove “a calorie is NOT a calorie”, and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide.
Done.

I had hit a wall in terms of eating right and dieting. Then my sister shared with me how much she was able to lower her LDL in her cholesterol by reducing her sugar intake. I started to Google articles on sugar and came across Dr Lustig’s You Tube video. It was 90 minutes but it was, in a word, captivating. I was then fortunate to find out that he was coming out with a book at the end of December. I had it delivered to my Kindle while on a beach vacation during the Christmas/ New Year’s holidays.
Well, as much as that does not sound like a good vacation book (I did read 2 other novels), it was fantastic on multiple levels. Dr Lustig has a gift because not only is he obviously educated in his field but he is articulate and extremely thorough.
Specifically, his book details how sugar is bad for you but he takes it to a level where you totally get it. He explains it from angles that you have never even realized existed…politically, economically, socially and of course, scientifically. And it is not just sugar. He gets into every corner of nutrition….fiber, insulin, leptin, stress, exercise. The book covers everything. It is obvious he put a tremendous amount of effort into this book. He also states very clearly that he has scientific back-up to all of his statements.
As I mentioned above, I was looking for a "new diet book" but this book is much more than that. Realizing what is going on in my body because I absolutely love and eat so many carbs was mind boggling. He teaches you all about food labels and let me tell you, it is an education. I am married over 25 years and my wife always does the food shopping. This book had such an effect on me, that I went food shopping by myself so that I could take the time and read the food labels.
I devoured this book.

Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at UCSF whose "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" lecture video got lots of hits on YouTube, has been watching the rise of obesity and its attendant ills in his practice over the last umpteen years. While not every obese person is unhealthy (and many people with acceptable BMIs still suffer from metabolic syndrome), obesity frequently brings in train "the cluster of chronic metabolic diseases…which includes…type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), lipid (blood fat) disorders, and cardiovascular disease," along with "co-morbidities associated with obesity, such as orthopedic problems, sleep apnea, gallstones, and depression." Lustig even mentioned the increase of dementia as tied to this whole mess, as insulin resistance leads to dementia!

Consider some of his alarming statistics:

– 1/4 of U.S.
As a health and fitness researcher and reviewer, I have a keen interest in why people get sick and how we can stay healthy. There is so much clutter out there. So much half-baked information, little of which is based on science.

The author tells us upfront, "I’ll make a promise to you right now: there is not one statement made in this entire book that can’t be backed up by hard science."

And so, it was with great pleasure that I read this book by a doctor who understands the problem of sugar in the diet on all levels. My only real disappointment was that he is a pediatrician and an awful lot of what he writes is about children and their problems. While this is of great importance, I prefer to read about mature people and their problems. Having said that, sugar is a problem for us all.

The parts in the book about the government and its relationship with the food industry is all well-known and you can just pass over this part if you already know it. And, a lot of it is available in his YouTube video. But, if you’re unfamiliar with the topic, you may find it fascinating.

But you will find how to read a food label. I find this really an eye-opener. I sort of knew what to look for but not totally. This book filled the gap for me.

The author believes that all sweeteners are bad. But, he lays it out in a way that is most persuasive. He says, "All caloric sweeteners contain fructose: white sugar, cane sugar, beet sugar, fruit sugar, table sugar, brown sugar, and its cheaper cousin HFCS. Add to this maple syrup, honey, and agave nectar. It’s all the same. The vehicle is irrelevant; it’s the payload that matters.

The Personal Internet Address & Password Log Book Hardcover-spiral – July 4, 2010
Author: Visit ‘s Peter Pauper Press Page ID: 1441303251

Hardcover-spiral: 144 pagesPublisher: Peter Pauper Press; Spi edition (July 4, 2010)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1441303251ISBN-13: 978-1441303257 Product Dimensions: 0.8 x 4.2 x 6 inches Shipping Weight: 6.2 ounces (View shipping rates and policies) Best Sellers Rank: #484 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #1 in Books > Computers & Technology > Networking & Cloud Computing > Internet, Groupware, & Telecommunications

This is a small but sturdy organizer. It measures 4.5 inches wide by 6 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. It has a very heavy duty cover and rugged spiral binding. The spiral binding is covered, so it cannot snag anything.

This is a good organizer for your briefcase or purse. If you need something to keep in your pocket, it may be too large.

This organizer has 13 alphabetical tabs equally divided in pairs. For example, A B | C D | E F | etc. Each tab has five double sided pages with three address sections per page for a total of 30 passwords per pair of letters.

Each web section has lines for
Name:
Site Address:
Login/Username:
Password:
Notes:(three lines)

At two inches of writable space per line, you’ll have to write small to fit the web address, but the other information has more than enough space.

There are extra pages in the back with information for: ISP Info, ISP Home Network Settings, Software License Settings, and Notes.

If this manager has any faults, it’s that each alphabetical section has the same number of pages. It may have been better to give letters like U, V, X, Y, Z less space and give more space to other letters.

This is exactly what I wanted. A single place where you can store all your important login information and not have to store it on the computer. I had a notebook which was serving that purpose for me, but things were scattered all over it. Having a notebook where all the login information can be alphabetically organized for easy access was wonderful. Some reviewers have complained about the size, but it is exactly what the specifications say, 4×5.5. Though the size is perfect for me, this product itself has disappointed me in several ways:

1. The outside covers are made of light cardboard. Not the kind of binding you would expect in a reasonable well bound notebook. In short, it feels cheap.

2. The paper quality is OK, but not good for this purpose. In a book like this, you are likely to make lots of changes because passwords are frequently changed for security purposes. I will write in this book with a pencil only for that reason. I am not sure if the paper in this book will withstand frequent erasures and re-writes without showing eraser marks or getting faded.

3. It is flimsy. It has a spiral bound inside (visible in the last picture) that is not very smooth. Pages tend to get tangled in the spiral. Slightly fewer pages or slightly bigger spiral would have fixed the problem. Ideally, a notebook like this, that you are likely to keep for a long time, should be stitched. However, this is just a suggestion.

In sum, it needs better binding and better quality paper and cover. The inner layout is fine. If you desire a quality notebook, you will be disappointed after mild usage, if not on first sight. Had I seen this in a store, I would not have bought it.

This little book is perfect. The size is just right, it’s plain, simple, and doesn’t have a lot of "extras" that I don’t want. It has ample, alphabetized pages for your websites and passwords; a page for "Useful Internet and Computer Information" where you can write down information about your internet service provider, network settings, and email info; two pages for "Home Network Configuration"; two pages for "Software License Numbers"; and five blank pages for "Notes."

I only wish I had had this little book when I first ventured into the world of the internet years ago. Hunting down the information which I have done a poor job of organizing and storing to put into the book is going to be the biggest challenge.

I wish I could give 5 stars for the app and 1 star for this book. OMG – unless you have a microscope nearby or have amazing vision it will be a HUGE pain in your rear trying to read the microscopic text in this book. The program I teach for requires this book for the pharma class, however, I always recommend to my students that they get the app instead.

The book: The text is seriously sooo small that it makes it really challenging to use. In addition, it’s not really easy to find what you want, so between the challenge of finding what you want and the teeny tiny text it’s really frustrating to use. HOWEVER….

The App: The app is GREAT! It is incredibly user friendly, very easy to look up information, links related information, again, making it easy to use. I have android & usually android apps are developed after apple, so I’d have to assume the apple app is good too. Of my students who download the app no one has complained – yet I do have students who complain about the book, as they might miss things trying to look up info in the book.

Should you use this over Medscape or epocrates apps? YES. The information contained in the App will help assure you select the correct antimicrobial for the potential or verified infective agent. For example, travel medicine: You have a client who returns from traveling ins SE Asia and has had diarrhea for a few weeks. Which antimicrobial should you prescribe? Most references will send you the wrong way, as what is standard for MOST returnee travelers is NOT correct for those who come from SE Asia. The App is very clear on this, the other med apps (medscape & epocrates) are not, and it can also be harder to find the information in the book.
