Lippincott's Review Series: Fluids and Electrolytes (Book with CD-ROM for Windows 95)

Rating:
Summary: Oh no, not again!
Review: This is the third Lippincott book I have looked at recently, and even though I have only read the first few pages, I can already see that it is continuing this publisher's tradition of poor, or possibly non-existent, editing.

Here are just two sentences, both from the same paragraph (page 16):

"[Vasodilation] and vasoconstriction influences balance."

Should be:

"[Vasodilation] and vasoconstriction influence balance."

"[Hypoventilation] and hyperventilation influences loss carbon dioxide and water, which effects fluid and electrolytes." (3 mistakes)

Should be:

"[Hypoventilation] and hyperventilation influence the loss of carbon dioxide and water, which affects fluid and electrolytes."

If you appreciate correct English, avoid this publisher.
