From reviews.. .[ Essential Examination] can be considered as a very helpful "aide-memoire" as practitioners build up their confidence & clinical experience. Although developed with medics in mind it could be very useful for advanced nurse practitioners & physician assistants; in fact any health care professional would find it useful as a revision aid particularly when learning with peers. The book is clearly & succinctly written. It is not designed to teach students how to carry out examinations but in a systematic way it links clinical examination (what you do) to pathophysiology & diagnosis (what you may find & what it means). It is produced in a landscape format in a ring binder which makes it easy to access when on a busy attachment or shift. It very helpfully lists the abbreviations at the beginning..."

Essential GCSE Latin" is neither a complete course from scratch nor a reference grammar but a summary of all the linguistic requirements for the OCR Examination Board

Specification (2007 onwards) aimed mainly at pupils in their GCSE year. OCR is now the only board in that offers a GCSE in Latin language. Whatever course they have used many remain very hazy about grammar. It is difficult to track back in a multi-volume course to the first introduction of a particular construction. Traditional grammars on the other hand can be forbidding & often do not give enough help with syntax & idiom. This book breaks everything down into bite-sized chunks with examples & practice sentences (600 in all) on each point & generous cross-referencing. It concentrates on the understanding of principles in both accidence & syntax in order to cut down on rote learning. Practice passages for the optional harder unseen translation passage are included."
