What isn't included in the product description is that they lack the rights to certain pages for which you must refer to the written format of this book. Let me be clear. When I am puchasing a product I expect the full version or to be informed that I am only getting a portion of it. I, as a consumer have a right to be informed of that prior to spending my money on it. I purchased this e-book as it is required for the Sonography Program at my college. I also wanted the FULL e-book format so I could reduce the amount of wieght as several books are required for the program. Since this is for education what good does it do anyone to be missing whole portions of topics. Topics that are vital to the health community that go over HIPPA , patient rights, occupation expectations, and so many other things!!!! I even went back and checked to see if I had initially misread what I had purchased but nothing is mentioned about it only being a portion or excluding vital pages. The bad part is I had planned on purchasing several e-books from Kindel on . My advice is to Kindel is to fix your product description so that it is accurate or remove the product altogether until you obtain the full rights to the book.
This text was required reading for my first term in an 18 month Sonography program. I found it to be comparable to other texts with a couple of annoying issues. First, the author / publisher was LAZY when creating the Table of Contents. Because most Intro to Sonography courses aren't built specifically for this text, the topics jump around. Had the book listed subheadings to each of the nine chapters listed in the contents, it would have been less frustrating and made the text more efficient for the majority of intro courses. Also, the ad nauseam history of sound/ultrasound could have been more brief, or at least a table or representation given to summarize the major historical developments significant to the field of Sonography rather than the single table summarizing milestones in the study of sound from 500 bc to 1883 ad.
What can I say. Some chapters are easier to get through than others, but all are necessary for the class. I can't compare it to similar books as this is my first book for the course I'm taking.
Just what I needed
