More About the Author

Dr. Martin I Lorin was born in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating medical school at NYU and completing his residency in pediatrics, Dr. Lorin spent several years spent working as a physician on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. This gave him the opportunity to explore Native American culture, past and present, kindling an interest in archeology, which eventually grew to include biblical archeology. The combined passion for archeology and love of mysteries led Dr Lorin to write Genesis One: Abel Is Missing. This novel explores the murder of Abel in southern Mesopotamia, the purported location of the Garden of Eden, about 5,000 B.C., a time when the world's oldest known civilization was beginning to bloom. While the novel parodies today's hard-boiled investigators and their clients, it also explores the relationship between man and his gods. It is a mixture of mystery, archeology, and theology, with a generous helping of humor and suspense.

Dr. Lorin lives in Houston, Texas, where he is Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. He has previously authored three nonfiction books, including The Parents' Book of Physical Fitness for Children (Atheneum, 1978). He is completing the second book in the Genesis series, Genesis Two: a Serial Killer on Noah's Ark.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much harder than the actual test, June 22, 2002
By 
"crunchyinmilk" (Bethlehem, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I just finished the shelf exam having studied this book exhaustively, and I honestly think there's simply too much detail. Endless questions on the details of Riley-Day syndrome, McCune-Albright syndrome, and parasites found only in Africa. The test was certainly not easy, but the bulk of it dealt with the more common diseases like Henoch-Schonlein Purpura and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I'd go with blueprints first and foremost, maybe supplement with a question book like this one and don't get too caught up in the details of obscure diseases.

In addition, some of the questions are just plain wrong now, such as questions on vaccination recommendations that are out-of-date.

Overall, I'd still recommend this book, so long as you don't get too depressed over not knowing the hardest questions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and Consise, July 13, 2000
By 
Sunny Sekhon, MD (Clovis, California United States) - See all my reviews
I found the book to be a detailed, yet concise review for the boards. The material covered is excellent, but the questions do not reflect the USMLE format.

5.0 out of 5 stars got the job done, July 19, 2003
By A Customer
I used this book as a primary resource for my 3rd year shelf exam (with Blueprints as a fall-back), and I got a 4.0. I saw a number of questions and scenarios on the test that I recogized from this text.
