"Basic Pharmacology" is a godsend to the the pharmacy technician student and classroom. I find this book to be exceptionally well written in an easy-to-understand format. This format unlike other text books allows the student to visualize medications (photograph) which is not found in other text books of this type. The information provided is the best that I have ever read in a pharmacology book. I think that not only will individuals benefit, college programs will charish this text also.

This text proposes to present the pure or basic theory of partially ordered sets(posets) excluding related topics like lattice theory, graph theory, and combinatorics that involve the theory of posets but are not central to it. The text is designed to be accessible to upper division undergraduates in mathematics or mathematics education and is presented at an appropriate level. The material seems appropriately presented, and good and appropriate examples are included, making the theory of posets accessible to better undergraduates.

This is the best introduction, giving a brief yet broad coverage to an important market. In just 144 pages Hu covers the the important points. The Mortgage Backed Security market, at over 2 trillion dollars, will soon exceed the US treasury market as the largest and most liquid bond market. Nevertheless, this market is still viewed as highly specialized due to the complications in security structure and prepayment optionality. Hu explains these complications clearly giving the reader confidence to enter this market.

A Canadian by birth, Naismith, a physician and minister with additional degrees in education and psychology, also invented the football helmet and taught sex education. Naismith never made any money from the game he invented. In fact, he refused fees when he spoke about basketball in public, and he once turned down a substantial sum to endorse cigarettes. Amos Alonzo Stagg, a YMCA facility member and a player in the first basketball games, recommended Naismith to start a basketball program at the University of Kansas. He took the job, which he held from 1898 until his death in 1939, though he coached basketball for only nine years. The inventor of the game is the only coach in University of Kansas history with a losing record: 53 wins and 55 losses. An amazing man and a wonderful look at his YMCA invention: basketball

Anyone standing at the Fishermen's Memorial along Gloucester Harbor in Massachusetts will be struck by two things. First, visitors always gravitate to the names at the very end--the familiar names of Capt. Billy Tyne and his five crewmates from the Andrea Gail, lost in The Perfect Storm in 1991. But those who linger are always astonished by the fact that there are more than five thousand other names here--sometimes hundreds of them lost during a single year in the 1800's, often from the same families. This book brings those 19th century years to life, providing a lively glimpse of the Gloucester fishing industry during its height, and a fitting memorial to all those "who go down to the sea in ships."

Joseph Garland reveals this history through the tale of one man--Giant Jim Pattillo, probably the most colorful and independent captain ever to command a Gloucester fishing vessel. A Novie who became a "whitewashed Yankee" when he became a U.S. citizen, Pattillo sailed between Georges Bank, Nova Scotia, and Cape Ann, Massachusetts, during the glory years of 1820 - 1870. Huge in size, immensely strong, and willing to take on anyone when he'd had enough to drink, Pattillo was a brawler who feared nothing and no one, a man who was willing to break the rules and even smuggle when it suited his purpose. Defying storms and all manner of danger, he also defied the restrictions the Crown placed on fishing around Nova Scotia--along with all the Crown's officers and enforcers.

Owner and master of his first fishing vessel in 1820, when he was just fourteen, Pattillo later fished for halibut, mackerel, herring, and cod in pinkeys, smacks, barks, sharpshooters, and schooners, all sailing vessels operating without any supplementary power. Navigation was challenging, to say the least, especially during ferocious storms at night, and the long list of names on the Gloucester memorial attests to the difficulty of keeping these vessels intact during the terrible Atlantic winters. Communication was almost non-existent, and on one occasion, when Pattillo and his crew returned to Gloucester in May, the town was stunned--it had already mourned their deaths, thinking they, like dozens of others, had perished in February.

Garland's impeccably researched tale is a can't-put-it-downer which deserves much more publicity! It's not an exaggeration to say that the insights you gain here about fishing and fishermen will forever change your perceptions of this heroic profession. Through Jim Pattillo, whose career spanned fifty tumultuous years, Garland provides a comprehensive historical account of the Gloucester - Nova Scotia fishing fleet, giving a context to more modern stories, such as The Perfect Storm, often thought to be unique. As a result, these modern accounts may now rightly assume their place as part of Gloucester's centuries-old, seafaring history, their crews members of the more than 5300-man fraternity of those "who go down to the sea in ships."

This book is a must read for any one considering having plastic surgery to improve droopy eyelids. The before and after pictures are great and the text itself provides indispensible information for the any question from pre surgical preparation to recovery time. Most importantly, I learned that there are surgeons, trained as ophthalmologists that preform only eyelid surgery.

I found this book to be very captivating. If escape is what you're looking for , then here you'll find it. Kennedy has a brilliant way of taking you places with her words that few other's are capable of. In this book, she balances between a clean Christian story, and a romantic and sensual plot that is second to none!
