Medical Terminology: A Programmed Approach is the ideal resource for instructors and students wanting a concise and systematic approach to learning the language of health care. Recognizing that students learn medical terminology by constructing and deconstructing words into their parts, the authors have built this process into the text and the numerous exercises. The approach builds and constantly reinforces skills needed to deal with increasingly complicated terms. A body systems organization is used, providing a clear content framework for the text. Each body system chapter separates words into easily learnable groups: major parts of each system; word parts related to each system; and diagnostic, pathological, surgical and pharmacological terms. Carefully chosen chapter features help bring the subject to life, and add an on-the-job perspective. Case-study information is built into examples, and real medical documents are used whenever appropriate. Internet references are included throughout to emphasize the importance of online resources and tools. While most activities are straight-forward practice exercises, word-building and critical thinking skills are also built in. Wherever possible, material on Complementary and Alternative Medicine ("CAM") is included to highlight this growing area of medicine. In addition to the text, students can access a wealth of electronic resources to aid their studies: The Student CD-ROM includes a suite of activity-based learning tools: crossword puzzles, "Hangman" game, "Concentration", term to definition matching, audio feedback, and "That's Epidemic", an activity focusing on pathology terms. Exercises are gradable online, or can be used for self-paced review. The Online Learning Center website ("OLC") provides a set of additional self-test questions; chapter study outlines; web links of interest; and additional word-building activities. An optional Spanish/English audio CD ROM is available, which includes pronunciations of key medical terms in both languages. English-language audio CD ROMs (2) are also available as an optional package item; these include pronunciation of all terms included in the text. Instructors will also finds a wealth of teaching & learning resources for their classes: The Instructor's Manual ("IM") contains answers to all exercises, teaching strategy suggestions, and discussion of word-building techniques. The Instructor Productivity Center CD ROM ("IPC") contains the IM in electronic form; PowerPoint presentations for each chapter; and electronic test generator and test banks (with 300 questions).

Medical Terminology: An innovative and Successful Approach provides the fastest and most efficient way to master medical language and the key to excelling in the workplace or classroom. Rather than relying on the rote memorization of individual words, this book focuses on teaching Greek and Latin combining forms (prefixes, suffixes, and word roots). The text demonstrates how to break down complex terms into their components, allowing the student to instantaneously deduce the meaning of words that he or she has never seen before. The unique design allows for very efficient study sessions, easy quick reference, and maximum portability. Definitions and examples are given in carefully laid out charts, and the coil binding allows the text to remain in the perfect position during intermittent periods of extensive study. The book's custom size also means it easily fits in bags, purses, and most laboratory coat pockets. The text is complimented by an interactive website. When used together, the book and the website provide a dynamic and highly effective way to master medical language. The customizable web-based applications and training programs include flashcards, crossword puzzles, and randomized exams. The website tracks the individual student's progress, allowing each student to tailor the exercises to focus on particular problem areas. The interactive site also goes beyond the book by introducing thousands of new medical terms for further study. The student is allowed to define these words based his or her newly-acquired knowledge of combining forms. When used in tandem, the text and website provide significant advantages over other terminology books.

Medical Terminology: Mastering the Basics is an integrated worktext-and-multimedia program that delivers an activity-oriented approach to teaching the word elements and terms that future healthcare specialists need to know to achieve success in the medical field. Organized by body systems, the worktext covers essential root words, prefixes, and suffixes and provides a broad overview of common pathological conditions, diagnostic tests and procedures, and therapeutic treatments. Activities, assessments, and cumulative reviews throughout the text promote skill building and mastery. When students have completed the worktext, they should be able to accurately label basic anatomical diagrams; correctly spell, write, and pronounce common medical terms; build, dissect, and define virtually any new medical term they encounter; identify common medical abbreviations and acronyms; and accurately interpret medical records. A uniquely streamlined learning method encourages mastery of essential medical terminology through hands-on, activity-based learning rather than rote memorization. Dynamic, interactive exercises on the companion and mobile websites reinforce student comprehension by providing valuable practice in identifying, building, and dissecting medical terms. Practical activities, such as medical record interpretation and healthcare internship scenarios, bring real-world relevancy to the subject.

A Soldier Supporting Soldiers is the second in a series of works by distinguished U.S. Army logisticians that focus on firsthand experience in the organization of combat service support. These studies seek to describe and analyze problems still familiar to those who provide the materials and other support required by today's Army. Their authors also clearly underscore the challenges that their successors will face in an era of limited resources. With active careers that span the last half century of Army history General Carter B. Magruder, in the recently published Recurring Logistic Problems As I Have Observed Them and Lt. Gen. Joseph M. Heiser, Jr., in the pages that follow, have much to say to the student of military operations about what constitutes efficiency and effectiveness in military logistics. General Heiser's study marks a clear departure from the Center of Military History's policy of refraining from publishing biographies or memoirs. Although we believe that the compelling reasons for establishing such a policy fifty years ago still pertain, we also think an exception should be made in this case. General Heiser has a unique skill in conveying important logistical lessons through personal anecdotes. Especially in his early chapters, he uses specific incidents from his own career to illuminate for his reader larger principles of logistics. Thus in this special instance our audience is treated to an extended, personal account that in some ways has just as much to say about military leadership and ethic as it does about logistics. The logistical principles discussed in this study appear especially vital to today's military students, given the recent massive challenges tologisticians posed by operations in the Persian Gulf and possible future contingency operations. I urge them to study and reflect on the insights provided in the engaging chapters that follow. Harold W. Nelson Washington, D.C.Brigadier General, USA December 1990Chief of Milit

In 385 AH/AD 995 the Qāḍī ‘Abd al-Jabbār, well known for his Mu‘tazilī theological writings, wrote the Confirmation of the Proofs of Prophecy, a work that includes a creative polemic against Christianity. ‘Abd al-Jabbār reinterprets the Bible, Church history (especially the lives of Paul and Constantine) and Christian practice to argue that Christians changed the Islamic religion of Jesus. The present work begins with an examination of the controversial theory that this polemic was borrowed from an unkown Judaeo-Christian group. The author argues that ‘Abd al-Jabbār's polemic is better understood as a response to his particular milieu and the on-going inter-religious debates of the medieval Islamic world. By examining the life and thought of ‘Abd al-Jabbār, along with the Islamic, Christian and Jewish antecedants to his polemic, the author uncovers the intimate relationship between sectarian controversy and the development of an Islamic doctrine on Christianity.
