Self-Taught

The idea that America is a literate country is a misconception. There are more than thirty million adults in the United States today who cannot read, and spectator mentality and an obsession with instant gratification prevent many from retaining a true commitment to literacy. The issue persists despite a wealth of dedicated teachers across the country. Through no fault of their own, many educators are unable to excite students about learning to read and write. In response to this problem, James W. Parkinson argues that people must become responsible for their own education and learn the importance of being self-taught in reading and writing. In Autodidactic: Self-Taught, Parkinson shares his personal stories and discoveries about how to take charge of one's own learning, weaving together practical wisdom and historical statements issued by some of the world's most remarkable leaders. Parkinson details his failures and successes, his inability to engage intellectually in his youth, and his efforts to educate himself over a span of forty years -- all to remind readers that education is a lifelong challenge with no shortcuts. This book promises to motivate students, doctors, factory workers, and flight attendants alike to take matters into their own hands when it comes to learning in order to change their lives for the better.

A Short Course 4th Edition

Quick, streamlined, and easy-to-use, Medical Terminology: A Short Course shows how to decipher the meanings of medical terms by breaking them down into smaller word parts. Chabner's proven method introduces words in the context of human anatomy, physiology and pathology so concepts are easier to grasp, while instilling the basics of suffixes, prefixes, and root words essential to developing a working medical vocabulary. Extensive hands-on practice, repetition, and case studies encourage students to learn by doing - writing terms, labeling diagrams, and completing exercises and review sheets. The book's selective content provides just the right amount of material for short medical terminology courses.
 * Self-teaching text/workbook format reinforces learning and builds confidence with pronunciation tests, diagram-labeling exercises, and review sheets.
 * Full-color drawings and photographs bring anatomy and pathophysiology terms to life.
 * Simple, clear, non-technical explanations of terms are easy to understand and require no previous background in medicine or science.
 * Case studies and vignettes use medical terms to show real-life applications of medical terms.
 * Appendices provide valuable reference information at the most basic level on supplemental topics such as anatomy of the body systems, drug classes, diagnostic tests and procedures, and abbreviations and symbols.
 * Interactive CD-ROM packaged with the book reinforces learning with additional exercises, a new image glossary, and an audio glossary.
 * More case studies and medical reports in the text and many more on CD-ROM provide a context for learning medical terms.
 * Medical Detective activity on the CD-ROM encourages readers to identify and correctly use medical terms within context of health care.
 * Additional new and updated pathology photographs illustrate common diseases and disorders.
 * The Spanish glossary contains new illustrations of the human body, including a full-body view and views of the skeletal, nervous reproductive, and endocrine systems - with labels in English and Spanish.
 * Medical Scramble exercises reinforce terms and make learning fun.
 * Picture Show exercises present an illustration and give the student the opportunity to apply knowledge to medical situations.

Learning AngularJS

Get started with AngularJS web development fast




AngularJS is one of the most exciting and innovative new technologies emerging in the world of web development. Designed to simplify the development and testing of web applications, it also provides structure for the entire development process.


Websites are no longer simple static content-instead, websites have become much more dynamic, with a single page often serving as the entire site or application. And AngularJS allows web developers to build the necessary programming logic for such applications directly into a web page, binding the data model for the client web application to backend services and databases. AngularJS also allows the extension of HTML so that the UI design logic can be expressed easily in an HTML template file.


Learning AngularJS shows you how to create powerful, interactive web applications that have a well-structured, reusable code base that will be easy to maintain. You''ll also learn how to leverage AngularJS''s innovative MVC approach to implement well-designed and well-structured web pages and web applications.

 * Understand how AngularJS is organized and learn best practices for designing AngularJS applications
 * Find out how to define modules and utilize dependency injection
 * Quickly build AngularJS templates with built-in directives that enhance the user experience
 * Bind UI elements to your data model, so changes to your model and UI occur automatically in tandem
 * Define custom AngularJS directives that extend HTML
 * Implement zoomable images, expandable lists, and other rich UI components
 * Implement client-side services that interact with web servers
 * Build dynamic browser views to provide even richer user interaction
 * Create custom services you can easily reuse
 * Design unit and end-to-end tests for AngularJS applications
