HI Adonis , would you address this question for me . I am working a peroid of externship with a professor . he is revising his book which will be published and I am involved in this revision rather than contribution . so how can I use this in my application . and how can I ask him to include this in the LOR . thanks

Had u been one of the contributors to the book then that wud have been great.Then u cud include that in the ERAS.Regarding being a reviewer of the book I wud say that it is still better than having nothing.
U can ask yur professor to include this in yur LOR.He can add a line about yur being one of the reviewers of his/her book.
U can even use this in yur ERAS CAF under the heading of 'Miscellaneous' activities.
Good Luck!

haward - 07-04-10 20:00 Thank you Adonis . to be clear . We used to sit and revise the book and during this period I suggested him to add some informations while we were revising. he agreed and did it. so is it considered a contribution or just a revision . I would like to understand this so I can ask him . thanks

It can be considered a minor contribution because u have added some new material which was not there before.Why do not u talk to him about it?May be he agrees to put yur name as one of the contributors in the book.
Good Luck!
