Misc. Titles A to Z

This newly revised paramedic specific book has been developed to meet the needs of a paramedic program and the interests of trained EMS workers, covering appropriate A&P as well as specific clinical applications. It will enable readers to develop their problem solving skills, build a foundation of basic concepts and essential knowledge, and master terminology and principles important to an understanding of the human body. KEY TOPICS: Chapter topics cover an introduction to anatomy and physiology; the chemical level of organization; cell structure and function; the tissue level of organization; the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and endocrine systems; the general and special senses; the cardiovascular system including individual chapters on blood, the heart, and blood vessels and circulation; the lymphatic system and immunity; nutrition and metabolism; the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems; and development and inheritance. New to this edition are Key Notes that call out core concepts in anatomy and physiology through out the book. These factual statements are highlighted with an icon and appear at appropriate points throughout the chapters. Paramedics

Over its first two editions, this best-selling book has become the de facto standard for training and reference material at all levels of CNC programming. Used in hundreds of educational institutions around the world as the primary text for CNC courses, and used daily by many in-field CNC programmers and machine operators, this book literally defines CNC programming. Written with careful attention to detail, there are no compromises. Many of the changes in this new Third Edition are the direct result of comments and suggestions received from many CNC professionals in the field. This extraordinarily comprehensive work continues to be packed with over one thousand illustrations, tables, formulas, tips, shortcuts, and practical examples.

The enclosed CD-ROM now contains a fully functional 15-day shareware version of CNC tool path editor/simulator, NCPlot(TM). This powerful, easy-to-learn software includes an amazing array of features, many not found in competitive products. NCPlot offers an unmatched combination of simplicity of use and richness of features. Support for many advanced control options is standard, including a macro interpreter that simulates Fanuc and similar macro programs.

The CD-ROM also offers many training exercises based on individual chapters, along with solutions and detailed explanations. Special programming and machining examples are provided as well, in form of complete machine files, useful as actual programming resources. Virtually all files use Adobe PDF format and are set to high resolution printing.
