New Books
Specifically designed for use in Clinical Chemistry courses in clinical laboratory technician/medical laboratory technician (CLT/MLT) and clinical laboratory science/medical technology (CLS/MT) education programs.
A reader-friendly introduction that focuses on the essential analytes CLT/MLT and CLS/MT students will use in the lab Clinical Laboratory Chemistry is a part of Pearson's Clinical Laboratory Science series of textbooks, which is designed to balance theory and application in an engaging and useful way. Highly readable, the book concentrates on clinically significant analyses students are likely to encounter in the lab. The combination of detailed technical information and real-life case studies helps learners envision themselves as members of the health care team, providing the laboratory services specific to chemistry that assist in patient care. The book's fundamental approach and special features allow students to analyze and synthesize information, and better understand the ever-evolving nature of clinical chemistry. The Second Edition has been streamlined and updated to include four new chapters covering safety, pediatrics, geriatrics, and nutrition; real-life mini cases; new figures and photographs; updated sources and citations; and a complete teaching and learning package.

Code examples are provided as appropriate to help students understand the basics of CNC programming. Advanced manufacturing offers an excellent variety of career opportunities. CNC Manufacturing Technology will help you begin a rewarding and fulfilling career.
CNC Programmer's Guide is a comprehensive and contemporary resource that provides a solid foundation in the principles of CNC programming, ideal for students pursuing a CNC machining career. Written by an educator and practitioner with over 35 years of field experience, this textbook provides flexibility for a variety of courses in CNC machining. Organized in three sections, it offers complete, introductory coverage on CNC mill programming, lathe programming, and subprogramming. Practical, easy-to-understand examples teach students the essential skills needed to prepare programs for CNC mills and lathes. This textbook explains programming formats for different controller types where appropriate and uses a building-block approach to develop a broad understanding of CNC programming techniques and machining operations.
This is the CD-ROM only version of this popular title. Contains the complete contents of the book, fully searchable, with interactive table of contents and index, in Adobe's popular portable document format (PDF). Written by the author of the bestselling CNC Programming Handbook and the recent release Fanuc CNC Custom Macros, this practical and very useful resource covers several programming subjects, including how to program cams and tapered end mills, that are virtually impossible to find anywhere. Other, more common, subjects, such as cutter radius offset and thread milling are covered in great depth. Presents detailed part programming suggestions for a variety of machining operations. Includes discussions on the following major subjects: thread milling methods, knurling, programming cams, part reversal methods, using pallet changers, applying special grooving and threading techniques, and many more. Provides numerous illustrations, charts, tables, and practical examples, allowing users to fully understand all concepts. Many methods presented can also be adapted to programming methods using a CAM system.
