It came out a few weeks ago....I got it from my schools bookstore
yup....i just got through my endocrine unit in school.....almost every other page in that section had summary charts w/ up and down arrows.....very helpful to test yourself w/
If its any indication...I was flipping through it at every red light on the way home from the bookstore.....
definitely sad...but at least most fellow med students understand....my gf just laughs at me....
Yep, only the book is a LOT more organized and has color pics. 😉
Subject - # of lectures
In some ways, I have to agree. I also do not like the slick feel of the pages, nor do I like the page setup. When you fold the book to read it, as I callously do, it's hard to see all of what you're reading. Nothing's perfect, but since someone else provided a critique. Oh, btw, my RRS Goljan Path 2004 (1st edition) is for sale if anyone wants it. It's actually not that much different from the 2nd ed. PM for details.ok im kinda disappointed in the new edition of goljan's rapid review, because comparing it with his lecture notes, the latter have more info so far that i see that is not included in his book. and the pictures are not allllll the pictures included from his path slides w/c i thought it would be . 🙁 like for instance, i am on chap 2, and in his general path notes he lists a bunch of the different types of interleukins and their key functions, but in the book, only lists IL-1, IL-6, IL 8 in a table. I guess mb the others are listed elsewhere i hope, but his notes seemed better organized in that manner, oh and also he talks bout lineloic acid in more detail in his notes and the essential fatty acids , whereas in the book linoleic acid is only mentioned briefly and no mention of the fatty acids that it is derived from or the arachidonc acids. 🙁 🙁 just annoyed that have to keep annotating the book, i thouight it had everything included from his notes since everyone seemed so excited about it . oh well, i guess i'll stop bein lazy and write in the stuff its missin

my guess is that its somewhat streamlined...
whatever it is..im not worried about it.....we're all gonna be using first aid and other small subject review books....if its not in those or goljans book and doesn't seem extremely important......I'm not worried about it.....
I think RR is a great book. It's in pure outline/table format and leaves plenty of room to make your own notes. It also has many full-color pics.
Definitely. The 2nd edition has a better layout, color pics, and more information.
