Great customer service from the creaters of the textbook. I scratched the code to hard and I was not able to read the online access information. However, I was able to call customer service at 6AM on Sunday morning and they were able to solve the problem. Text is very dense. I would recommend the pocket companion and the guyton and hall physiology review book for practice problems.

i attempted to contact the seller via email to return the book because although i was told i needed it the book for class i actually did not. The seller has yet to respond. so i have a book i cannot use and paid $70+ for it. The condition of the book was good, i have no complaints about that.
By PhishMan
Ok everyone raves about this book. It is true that this book covers everything you need to know. However, the trick is not to get lost in their ridiculously long explanations that are repeated over and over and over each chapter. Seriously, this book could be condensed to half the size. Further, they mention a couple sentences about a concept and then quit and say "more on this to come later". They probably do that about a thousand times. Truthfully, i just got annoyed by reading the book. It is obnoxious and everything, from their graphs to their flow charts, is made to sound more complicated that it has to be and is encoded in erroneous/needless fluff. Medical students do not have much time, THAT IS TO SAY time is valuable, WHICH MEANS there is not much of it, SO YOU COULD CONCLUDE you should use time efficiently AND THIS MEANS... - if you found the previous sentence pointless and annoying, go with something else, perhaps BRS!

"I ordered "The Textbook of Medical Physiology" 11th edition by Guyton and Hall. The books (a 2 volume set) came but the covers look like they have water damage and the pages look photocopied. The text was supposed to have colored pictures, but they are all black and white. The binding is broken on both of the books and when you open the books the pages are not firmly attached and are falling out in clumps due to binding problems. The covers are not firmly attached to the binding of the book either. Overall, these appear to be copies of the text, and nothing similar to the actual book. It's almost as if it was photocopied and put in a binding. The print doesn't even line up properly on the page The figures are only partially visible, and there is noticeable outlining (like from photo copying). Having seen several copies of the book, this is definitely NOT the original text. ". I sent a few emails which were answered and they refused to refund my money claiming I could have already read the 1000 pages of the text book. Over all I WILL NOT AND WOULD NOT buy anything from this seller.

Good detailed explanations. I wish there were more explanatory diagrams, tho. I will keep this text even after the class - good reference

This is by far the best book out there for anyone thinking of writing a textbook. Lepionka is an experienced development editor, and it shows. As a textbook author, I can say that nearly everything she says rings true. She provides a detailed step-by-step account of how to attract the attention of a publisher, how to prepare a prospectus, what to expect during contract negotiations, how to interact with a development editor, and so on. This is information that is difficult to find elsewhere.
There are two points that I would like to add to her discussion. First, in signing a contract give very careful consideration to royalties on electronic versions of your text. The publishers are making a strong push to convert instructors and student to using electronic texts. Boilerplate contracts typically specify very low royalties on these sales. Even a couple of years ago, this didn't much matter because electronic texts had a very limited market. These days, though, you could lose a good chunk of your royalties if you don't negotiate a decent rate on electronic copies. Second, there is no longer much money to be made in writing texts for upper division or graduate courses. The used book market is so well organized, that a good part of your sales will be taken by resold comp copies. It is not at all unusual these days for even moderately successful upper division books to earn just a few thousand dollars in royalties -- less than you could probably earn teaching a summer course or two.
There a couple of essays on textbook writing available on the web. Be cautious in accepting their discussions of royalties. The one written by an accounting author (whose own text only lasted one edition) gives a very inflated idea of how much you are likely to earn in royalties.
Finally, even though I already owned the first edition, I couldn't resist buying this second edition. I was not disappointed. She did an excellent job or revising and updating the discussion.
By Heinrich (Midwest)
Buy this book! This author has a fantastic reputation in this realm of writing. She is the best!
By H. Rubenstein (West Simsbury, CT)
As an experienced textbook development editor, I think this text is an extremely valuable resource for any author who wishes to enter the college market, as well as for experienced authors who want to keep on top of
trends in the rapidly changing textbook industry. Lepionka has filled previously unserved niche of the publishing marketplace in expert fashion.
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Textbook publishing for technical schools, colleges, and universities, is a very specialized and potentially lucrative section of the publishing industry and one that has both state and institutional compliance requirements and standards that must be adhered to by authors who aspire to have their books adopted for curriculums, library collections, and student reading list. Now in a fully updated and significantly expanded second edition, "Writing And Developing Your college Textbook: A Comprehensive Guide To Textbook Authorship And Higher Education Publishing" by Mary Ellen Lepionka continues to be the premier introduction and instruction reference guide manual for college instructors, academic authors, textbook editors, and publishers of education materials. Beginning with informed and informative chapters on the college textbook publishing industry, "Writing and Developing Your College Textbook" continues with superbly organized and presented chapters on what authors must do to interest a publisher in their manuscript, publishing contracts, textbook development, identifying the intended readership and their needs with regarding the textbook's subject matter, writing with authority, the role of 'Learning Objectives', 'Heading Structure', pedagogy, chapter organization, 'Feature Strands', drafts and revisions, issues of length and management schedules, permissions, and visual elements for text enhancement. Of special note is the up-to-date advice with respect to pricing issues, academic self-publishing, open access, digitization, 'wiki-textbooks'. Simply stated, any author aspiring to write and have published a textbook, regardless of its subject matter, should begin by giving a careful reading to what Mary Ellen Lepionka has laid out in the pages of "Writing and Developing Your College Textbook".
By Anthony Haynes (Newmarket, UK)
There aren't many books about textbooks and the ones that do exist tend to be rather theoretical. This one is very practical. You can tell it isn't written by a hack: the book is full of concrete details based on experience. As a textbook publisher myself, I feel confident in saying that no prospective textbook authors could read this without profit - and I doubt any experienced authors could either.

Pediatric Hospital Medicine: Textbook of Inpatient Management

Now in its Second Edition, this text focuses exclusively on the management of hospitalized pediatric patients from admission to discharge. It is an excellent resource for residency programs, hospitalist fellowships, and continuing education for physicians whose practice includes the management of hospitalized newborns and children. Because pediatric hospital care is provided by a wide variety of healthcare professionals and in many different hospital settings, this text provides a framework for unified management and effective and efficient care. This edition includes new sections on emergency medicine and psychiatric hospitalization and expanded coverage of management of children with complex and chronic conditions.

This book attempts to be a jack of all trades but unfortunatly is a master of none, most topics glossed over, not enough depth, save your money and get a good internet connection, you will find more useful information and it will be up to date too!
By Hospital MD (Philadelphia, PA USA)
This is the first textbook aimed at pediatricians who practice predominantly or exclusively in the hospital setting. Hospital medicine is more similar to emergency medicine as opposed to outpatient practice. Therefore, established pediatrics textbooks such as Nelson, Oski and Rudolph are less practical for hospital medicine. Those books cannot focus on inpatient conditions with sufficient depth and still remain relatively small (ie 1 volume or 2 volumes) and inexpensive. This hospital medicine book is a nice attempt to cover the scope of hospital practice. However, the quality of the chapters is variable. Some are excellent while others lack practical management strategies. Residents will find this book useful as it covers the scope of hospital practice more effectively than the established pediatric textbooks.
By Flying Saucer
useless. except for bookends...I used to have this on the opposite end of the shelf from the zitelli's. Not sure who this book is for. Hospitalists use nelsons and online stuff. Not for the ICU or ER. Maybe if this was pocket book or on PDA it would be more useful. Not useful as a reference text.
I know what the stated goals of the book were and that it's hard to write a text in a rapidly evolving field, but i was still disappointed in this book. This is definately a niche that needs a good text, perhaps one strewn with pearls and algorithms.
Sorry.

This textbook is required reading for my Family Medicine Trainees. It is a great addition to any Family Medicine Training Program, covering a wide variety of topics, providing overall competency for the trainee. The evidence-based medicine guides are of great importance. As the Training Officer of our program here in Cebu City, the Philippines, this textbook is an invaluable reference for our Department.

This book is a must for chiropractors who's practice includes pediatric patients. It is a one stop source for everything I have needed in practice.
By John Schmitz (St. Peters, MO United States)
One of the best all around references I have found. It gives you the important info you need and cuts out the fluff.
By Flying Saucer
This is THE textbook of pediatrics. I own Rudolphs and Oski's as well. This is the book to buy (or read if you have MDconsult). It has the best diagrams, graphs and is the easiest to read. Don't waste your time with the minibooks such as currents or the mini Nelson book, as most of the information in those books is available for free online on websites such as eMedicine etc... One think i must stress however is that we all need to read the classic core texts. So much emphasis is placed on "Evidence Based Medicine" and advanced diagnostic testing and the latest treatments that we often forget the core pathophysiology of the disease. And that is why core texts like this and Harrison's are still relevant today. We still need our building blocks.
By Joni Kaighobadi (FL USA)
The 17th edition of the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics is available now. I have seen it on the publisher's website. This textbook is one of the main physician-level educational sources for pediatrics, and I highly recommend it for the personal libraries of all medical professionals as well as those in training. No matter what your field, there will always be the potential that you will become responsible for caring for a child. However, it is usually best to find the latest edition for any textbook.
By (Bronx, NY United States)
When I was on my PA Peds rotation, I often consulted this great reference in the medical library. Now, that I have my own book, I know its value. There is no other Pediatrics book out there that is better than this one. Don't waste your money on less expensive books like Current Pediatrics which doesn't cover half as many topics as Nelson. Also, for a great little pocket books, try Harriet Lane and Current Clinical Strategies Pediatrics 5 Minute Review.
