The first new novel Oe has published since winning the Nobel Prize, Somersault is a magnificent story of the charisma of leaders, the danger of zealotry, and the mystery of faith. A decade before the story opens, two men referred to as the Patron and Guide of mankind were leaders of an influential religious movement. When a radical faction of their followers threatened to unleash an apocalypse, they recanted all of their teachings and abandoned their followers. Now, after ten years of silence, Patron and Guide begin contacting their old followers and reaching out to the public, assisted by a small group of young people who have come to them in recent months. Just as they are beginning this renewed push, the radical faction kidnaps Guide, holding him captive until his health gives out. Patron and a small core of the faithful, including a painter named Kizu who may become the new Guide, move to the mountains to establish the church's new base, followed by two groups from Patron's old church: the devout Quiet Women, and the Technicians, who have ties to the old radical faction. The Baby Fireflies, young men from a nearby village, attempt to influence the church with local traditions and military discipline. As planning proceeds for the summer conference that will bring together the faithful and launch the new church in the eyes of the world, the conflicting agendas of these factions threaten to make a mockery of the church's unity--or something far more dangerous.Binding Type: Paperback

Nursing school book that helps
Format: Paperback
I use this book for nursing school :0.
The book covers a broad range of topics including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory conditions, diabetes, mental health, and much more. Each chapter is written by experts in the field, providing a high level of expertise and insight into best practices for managing various medical conditions.
One of the things I appreciate about this book is the clear and concise writing style. The guidelines are presented in a format that is easy to understand and follow, making it an ideal resource for busy practitioners. Additionally, the authors have included helpful algorithms and decision trees to aid in the management of complex cases.
Another strength of this book is the emphasis on evidence-based medicine. The guidelines are based on the latest research and are regularly updated to reflect new developments in the field. This ensures that healthcare professionals can provide the most effective and appropriate care for their patients.
Overall, I highly recommend Clinical Guidelines in Primary Care for healthcare professionals working in primary care settings. It is a comprehensive and practical guide that provides evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of a wide range of medical conditions.

Great Resource
Format: Paperback
As a resource for NP school (and even after, I'm sure), this book is fantastic. I recommend it to anyone asking if it's worth it. I, however, refer them to a different site than Amazon as it is cheaper straight from the publisher. Significantly so. A hundred dollars difference doesn't quite justify the next day or 2-day delivery.

So good for soap notes!
Format: Paperback
I wish I could have gotten this sooner when we had to write soap notes. It explains the illness, symptoms, tests, treatments, referrals and follow ups. I got it used and it came in great condition. Would definitely buy again!

Awesome
Format: Paperback
I’m an FNP student and I love this. Great for hw and clinicals. Although I don’t take it to clinicals because it’s on the bigger and heavier side, but I do use it when I’m puzzled on a patient once I get home.
