Review title: A waste of time and money Product review: As a gradute of two residencies I am no stranger to board preparation, so the idea of a humerous guide was piqued my interest.This book however is not answer. There is no real content. It's superficial fluff that the author decided to market to line his pockets.There is is an early section on study techniques that is not bad, but the book is more then sub-par. Quite simply it stinks!

Review title: A waste of time Product review: The first part of this 1997 edition covers material that is an "old hat". The rest of the topics are unnecessary, badly explained, too superficial, or unfocused. Don't waste your money, and your time!

Review title: a superb book Product review: This is a rewrite of the great book by Courant, and it does justice to its origin. I prefer the somewhat more charming original book of Courant myself, but I have taught from this one too and learned something more.Since the original Courant costs $120 for the 2 volume set, this volume at $33 is a bargain, so snap it up. This is 10 times as valuable as most current $130 calculus books.

Review title: bowie fighters delight Product review: This book and the follow-up volume on advanced Bowie techniques are superb technical resources on the use of big fighting knives. The author gives a little historical background which teases us, making us want to know more. The techniques are described in clear text and with a series of terriffic drawings. The drawings themselves are worth the price of the books. I highly recommend Mr. McLemore's books for their graphics and his explanation of how to fight and defend with the famous American icon, Bowie knives.
