1.		The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life from Harper Paperbacks Price: $10.16 Customer Review: The initial rejection of discoveries in science has hardly altered since the days of Galileo. Disbelief remains proportional to the magnitude of the discovery, even when it is supported by experimental proof. This attitude prompted Robert Becker to seek public acceptance for his novel work on wound... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition from Human Kinetics Price: $29.99 Customer Review: This is one of the best books on strength training I have ever read! But this book is a dry read and is not for everyone. The information in this book is great and very scientific. You will learn a lot in this book but you must be willing to think outside the box to put the information to use. This... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Surviving the Extremes: A Doctor's Journey to the Limits of Human Endurance from St. Martin's Press Customer Review: A very knowledgable and entertaining read.

5.		Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, Second Edition from Academic Press Price: $46.79 Customer Review: This is a very comprehensive textbook, however, I will not recommend it to readers that only has an interest in the subject.

12.		Crystallography Made Crystal Clear, Second Edition: A Guide for Users of Macromolecular Models (Complementary Science) from Academic Press Price: $20.00 Customer Review: Buy "Biomolecular Crystallography" instead. This book tries to condense too much information on too few pages. I didn't understand everything in "Biomolecular Crystallography", but the sections that I did understand, are very well written. It's more expensive, but it's a better book, for those that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		Bioengineering Fundamentals from Prentice Hall Price: $105.89 Customer Review: Worth the price. Had some wear on the outside (like it was handled a lot), but inside was in great shape.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Essential Nuclear Medicine Physics (Essentials) from Wiley-Blackwell Price: $49.99 Customer Review: If you are a Keiser University student then just rest assured in knowing that this watered-down version of Nuclear Physics is why you will have a hard time getting hired after graduation.

21.		Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues from Springer Price: $67.68 Customer Review: So i received my copy and it's fine, aside from the fact that the entire thing is printed upside down.

22.		Abraham Lincoln's DNA and Other Adventures in Genetics from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Price: $6.75 Customer Review: I liked this book and, as the title promised, it did include a discussion of Abraham Lincoln's DNA--fourteen pages worth! Is that all? With a huge white title on a deep red background that reads, ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S DNA, wouldn't you expect there'd be a lot more room devoted to that subject? I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

26.		Radiation Protection and Dosimetry: An Introduction to Health Physics from Springer Customer Review: I was expecting a lot from this book since it is written by the very famous Michael Stabin, expert in the field of dosimetry.
