1.		Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, Second Edition (Biomedical Engineering) from Academic Press Price: $81.60 Customer Review: This is a very comprehensive textbook, however, I will not recommend it to readers that only has an interest in the subject. Some of the content is highly mathematical, and as such meant for serious students in this field. The book covers a very wide range of subjects in this field.

2.		The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life from Harper Paperbacks Price: $10.17 Customer Review: The information was not what I expected in regard to a misleading title. Anyone in the acupuncture field, as I am, should not be persuaded to buy this book. It basically deals with reptilian experiments done 50 or more years ago. It is a biology book, in a sense. I wish I had not purchased it!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition from Human Kinetics Publishers Price: $41.60 Customer Review: ".....Science and Practice of Strength Training is an OUTSTANDING REFERENCE AND TEXT that not only presents the scientific principles behind strength training, but also provides practical recommendations for optimizing muscular strength and development....."

There was basically a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Essential Nuclear Medicine Physics (Essentials) from Wiley-Blackwell Price: $53.95 Customer Review: This book is not for someone interested in the actual physics of nuclear medicine.
