USE-RESTRICTIONS, BUT STILL A TOP-GUN

The attached use-restriction strings notwithstanding, there is much to cheer about this CD-ROM version of "Principles of Pharmacology". Anybody that is interested in this book will benefit from its extensive coverage of all aspects of pharmacology, including cogent information on pharmacognosy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicology.
The authors did their job well: they had taken care in establishing this masterpiece into a reference top-gun. Worth pointing out is the comprehensive coverage given to Maternal/Foetal Medicine, Neuro-diseases' Therapy, as well as general pharmacology as it concerns Intensive Care.

Constitutional or Unconstitutional - Explained

An excellent analysis of how the Justices of the Supreme Court decide whether or not a law (created by Congress or the States) is valid or not. More than just a compilation of majority, concurring and dissenting opinions, this book looks at why the decisions were made, not just what the decisions were. Well worth the money and a fine addition to the library of anyone interested in law or the legislative process.

Good Overview

The overeview chapters are the best that I've seen within an introductory PowerBuilder book. The chapters having to do with the Powerscript language are not as good as the overview chapters.

Overeall, a very good book for the beginning PowerBuilder programmer

Enjoyable depiction of Harvard professor's daughter

Although it deals in stereotypes, this is an enjoyable portrayal of the life of the beautiful daughter of a Harvard professor. It begins with her attempted suicide, and goes on to deal in the lives of Harvard students (of which she becomes one). I bought this book in paperback in an airport, and it was a perfect "travel" read. Not "high-brow" literature.

Profitable Purchasing Strategies: A Manager's Guide for Improving Organizational Competitiveness Through the Skills of Purchasing

Published in Hardcover by McGraw-Hill (May, 1996)

Amazon base price: $34.95

Average review score:

A purchasing plan from start to finish

This book provides a thorough view of purchasing strategies and strategic purchasing. It emphasizes the need for support from the top as well as established purchasing guidelines.

It's primary benefit comes from a thorough explanation of strategic purchasing. How to determine a need, determine the possibility of seclecting one (or more) suppliers to fill that need and how to use your position as a buyer to create the type of supplier that YOU need. It also highlights the need for "upstream" planning to avoid the pitfalls that often result from unplanned purchasing.

Helpful review

The best thing going for this book is that it is in fact well-written not like most of the dreck in business books. The ideas here are not revolutionary and you're not likely to find anything you hadn't at least heard before. It does however organize all of these disparate thoughts and bring them together in a way to help motivate action.
Along the way I'd also recommend Tony Murphy's Achieving Business Value from IT as a book that effectively does the same thing -- organizes information well to help you move toward positive action and improving process and performance (as oppossed to strategy which is this books forte).

Prosim III for Windows: A Production Management Simulation

Published in Paperback by McGraw-Hill/Irwin (24 June, 1996)

Authors: Chao-Hsien Chu, Michael P. Hottenstein, and Paul S. Greenlaw

Average review score:

Excellent practice of production understanding

Unlike many books, this book allows you to practice your knowledge of production systems. This book is a good addition to any production systems (production inventory control, production operations management) class. It provides a good, basic overview of many of the principles needed for the production control professional. The main advantage of this book is that it has a diskette with it to allow practice of the principles. A tool called ProDSS is included to aid in many of the calculations using Excel macros. These calculations include forecasting and labor requirements. There is also a simulation to evaluate your decisions against a factory environment. However, you must have the instructor text with diskette to utilize this feature.

I consider this text an excellent choice for the basics of production systems. It is also an excellent addition to any college level production systems class (although I really think another text like Factory Physics should be used also to provide more details to much of the content.)

Psychological Warfare

Published in Hardcover by Ayer Co Pub (June, 1972)

Author: Paul M. Linebarger

Amazon base price: $27.95
Used price: $500.00

Average review score:

the classic textbook on psychological warfare

Dr. Linebarger was one of the world's experts on understanding the relationship of culture to propaganda. This book was in use for many years as the textbook in the US Army course on Psychological Operations. It is still just as useful towards understanding the political 'spin' machines as it was in planning some of the most successful psychological warfare campaigns of the last forty years.
