There are many books on the market that try to give both the starting physician and the experienced physician guidance on "current therapy", but most of them, I think, spend way too much time on diagnosis and not nearly enough time on the details of treatment - which drugs to use first, second, third, and in what dosages, and the rationale for choosing certain drugs. This book, Drug Therapy: Decision Making Guide, however, is written on the principle that most diagnoses a physician makes are reasonably routine, so it saves your time by getting right to the point - how to treat, with plenty of detail. I especially appreciate the fact that the authors back up their preferences with CITATIONS from the current literature. This is a great book for medical students, interns and residents to learn from, giving them guidance solidly based in the literature for effectively using medicines. This edition, written in 1996, is starting to get a little old in some areas and it really is time for the authors to update it, but, even so, it's still a good guide and is still completely up-to-date in most of the areas that matter.

The recent publication date of this book allows for greater understanding for today's youth. Being part of a summer school class, I was among the first people in my high school to evaluate the book for the regular school year. Key concepts in this book are efficiently shown, and all the basic principles of economics (supply & demand, business types) are outlined very nicely. Although our school did not partake in it, the book also comes with a set of interactive CD's, allowing the instructor to visually show the effects of economics on daily life. There are an amazing number of brightly-colored graphs and pictures to demonstrate the book's main points. This text was extremely successful in helping me gain an appreciation for the backbone of our nation's economic standing.

This book is quite useful for writing researcher paper on language curriculum or program evaluation. It is academically valuable, but it is also easily understandable for everyone because the language is not diffcult at all. It has good literature review of related topics. It also includes real examples of some ESL programs in the US. This books helped me a lot to write a research paper on a langauge course evaluation. It is good for individual use as well as a textbook for any graduate courese of curriculum development or evaluation. Plus, the layout of this book is pretty pleasant.

Mr. Brown taught me lots of neat stories and I think he is alot like Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett, but I think he is greater than them. I wished his book was in every school because it talked just to me and I know other kids need to be told things.
The letters were big and easy for me to read and I know safety around guns now and I am not afraid anymore or scared at night now. He is like a hero to me now and I wished he would write other stuff for us kids. If he is still alive or not?

Let me start off by saying that I have used quite a lot of Bibles. Then I found this Bible and I knew it was for me. Let's talk about the index first. It has the best index I have ever seen in any Bible. It not only has and index but it has a Concordance too. Now, let's talk about the references. If you just open the Bible and read one verse chances are it will have a reference under it. This is very helpful for sermons and things like that. It also has synonyms of some hard or rare words underneath the verses. Next comes the previews of the Books. These are just excellent. It tells the author, date, place, to whom it was written to, and an outline of the whole book. I have enjoyed mine very much and would not give it up for anything. I most definetly recominded it

This is an amazing book, a modern Adam and Eve story where the last survivor of a northern California Indian tribe must struggle with incest taboos even though he knows that he and his woman-cousin are the last hope for his people's survival. Ishi's point-of-view is vividly realized, both in his wilderness homeland and after he joins the wilds of civilization of 1914 San Francisco. This novel is a dramatic realization of the real story of Ishi, one told through the inventiveness of fiction. It's a book of unspeakable sadness and mystical euphoria, a story almost too true to life and almost too incredible to have its basic in the real tale of Ishi, the last wild Yahi Indian.

'The Paintings of James-Paul Brown,' published by Capra Press, is a retrospective of the artist at play in a garden of color and light for the last twenty years. This is a book that should be available to every student of art as an example of one man's on-going blessed passion exploding in an artistic triumph ofjoy,romance,whimsy,playfulness, hope, and the divine gift of life. As a Christmas gift, this collection of paintings would be well received.

An excellent source of information for the medical student. Concise, informative, and easy to understand.

A very authoritative book. Will be of interest to Leibniz scholars, historians of philosophy, and philosophers. Definitely worth the money!

I admit to a prejudice in evaluating this book, as I've known James M. Neal throughout his long career, from reporter to editor to professor of journalism -- he's my father. But even from that perspective, I find the work astonishing. Dad's clear, direct, no-nonsense style isn't just a teaching technique, it's an example of excellent newswriting in itself. This is no pedantic, academic work -- this is the same Jim Neal who took me to work with him at the Daily Oklahoman when I was only twelve, and taught me how to write headlines under deadlines. This text is as close as a student will ever get to having Dad's thirty years of hectic experience in daily newspaper journalism somehow injected into the veins (and adrenal glands) in one quick shot. The book is also superb entertainment for the non-journalist who wants insight into how professional newsmen think. I'd recommend it for that, alone.
