The Basic Bookshelf for Eyecare Professionals is a series that provides fundamental and advanced material with a clinical approach to clinicians and students. A special effort was made to cover information needed for the certification exams in ophthalmic and optometric assisting, low vision, surgical assisting, opticianry, and contact lens examiners. General Medical Knowledge is designed for those needing to learn or brush up on the anatomy and physiology of the human body. This book emphasizes the fact that the eye is part of the body as a whole and presents the basic concepts of anatomy and physiology as well as an overview of common diseases. The first section begins with cells and tissues, then discusses the various organ systems including cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, and nervous. The second section covers systemic diseases and disorders including connective tissue disease, age related disorders, and neoplastic disorders, with special emphasis on how each of these can affect the eye. This text will provide a solid foundation of general medical knowledge for those working as eyecare professionals.

The Faith Equation Mathematical Evidence for Christianity The Faith Equation integrates theology and mathematics to provide apologetic evidence for the Christian faith and is required reading for anyone interested in scientific or mathematical evidence of Christianity.

DEL HARRIS, former NBA Head Coach of the LA Lakers, Houston Rockets, and Milwaukee Bucks. Ordained Minister, Christian Church. "Bittinger invites the reader into a rich conversation. His math may intimidate, but he never does. His gentle Christian character shines through." LEROY LAWSON, International Consultant with CMF International, regular columnist ("From My Bookshelf"), Christian Standard. Former President, Hope International University. "This is a book of the kind of wacky genius one is lucky enough to encounter on but a few occasions during his or her lifetime." M.

The Graphing Calculator Manual by Judith A. Penna contains keystroke level instruction for the Texas Instruments TI-83/83+, TI-84, and TI-86. Bundled with every copy of the text, the Graphing Calculator Manual uses actual examples and exercises from Intermediate Algebra: Graphs and Models, Third Edition, to help teach students to use their graphing calculator. The order of topics in the Graphing Calculator Manual mirrors that of the text, providing a just-in-time mode of instruction.

The authors help students "see the math" through their focus on functions; visual emphasis; side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions; real-data applications; and examples and exercises. By remaining focused on today's students and their needs, the authors lead students to mathematical understanding and, ultimately, success in class.
