Just kick back and read. You'll enjoy it as much as I did.

What a fantastic book i was hookd from start to finish, could not put it down, it has everything you could want, you will not be dispointed, my powell has an incredible way with telling a story you will feel like you went on the trips with him, Cant wait to read more from this author very soon i hope, This is not a book for sailors or military people its for everyone who enjoys a good book.

This book is excellent! I couldnt put it down. Funny and exciting !! Gotta get this book if you are thinking about it!!

This is a great book, easy to read and follow. Concise enough where you can read it fast but with enough background information so the drug therapy makes sense. You will get a thorough understanding on what drugs are used and why. Picks up on the key points a pharmacist needs to know in practice and a student or someone who is studying for the boards needs to know for exams. Flowcharts are great, has JNC-VI guidelines which are the standard when it comes to drug therapy and pharmaceutical care. Overall, a great book that will enhance your understanding by leaps and bounds.

an excellent reference for students in their clinical clerkship rotations. It does facilitate life as it is extremely well written with the right details..

This is the best formatted, most current handbook on pharmacotherapy. I especially appreciate the pathophysiologic approach, drug treatment, and monitoring parameters outlined throughout the book. Chapters are concise, and yet offer thorough coverage of the most commonly encountered disease states. Each chapter is written by one or more expert in the field; chapters can be read very quickly. A great working tool for clinical pharmacists. I definetely recommend it.

This is a very useful reference to have if you work extensively on HPLC. I find its of more use to understand concepts ...there is a lot of information here.

Which means - if you are looking for a solution to a problem and you want to research separation theory - a great book.

If your looking for a quick fix to an HPLC problem - not as good. This is a detailed, extensive and well written text on HPLC Method development - wish there was more on validation here though.

Rational Method development for HPLC is resented. Instruction of rational development of 3-solvent separation system is excellent. This book also has useful know-hows and tools in practical laboratory experiments, such as strength of hydrogen bonding of base silica and nomograph for estimation of "solvent strength" for reversed phase HPLC.

The book is useful for gerenal operator who are both novice and expert. It do is pratice. It's better give another chapter for troubleshooting and maintence.

In the sixteen years since the appearance of the first edition of Lakowicz's Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, the use of fluorescence as an analytical tool has grown remarkably, especially in instrumentation, available fluorophores, and practical applications. Therefore, it shouldn't be surprising that the second edition of the work has more than doubled in size.

The approach is the same as that in the first edition: fluorescence spectroscopy from the viewpoint of a biophysical chemist. Explanations are clear. References are profuse; they now number well over a thousand and include an additional appendix that cites many books and review articles for additional reading. Figures are also plentiful; no fancy color diagrams a la contemporary biochemistry texts, but basic line drawings, primarily adapted from journal articles.

The first three chapters ("Introduction to Fluorescence", "Instrumentation for Fluorescence Spectroscopy", and "Fluorophores") are an excellent brief (93-page) introduction to the whole field. Most of the remaining 19 chapters are organized around the kinds of photophysical processes and spectroscopic quantities that are relevant to fluorescence. These include very thorough treatments of fluorescence lifetimes, quenching, anisotropy, and energy transfer. There are many examples drawn from journal articles. In addition, the work now covers more of the technological applications of fluorescence, especially in chapters on "Fluorescence Sensing" and "DNA Technology". These give a sense of the great contributions that fluorescence has made to biotechnology.

My own work involves varied applications of fluorescence to biotechnology, and the second edition of Lakowicz is my reference book of choice. It would also be an excellent text for a graduate course on fluorescence in a chemistry or biochemistry department. All in all, this is a most worth successor to the first edition.

Joe Lakowicz has just finished a thorough revision of this classic work, which should be coming out soon. Highly recommended.

Introduces the reader to the basic physics and physical chemistry of fluorescence phenomena, fluorometry techniques and covers advanced topics as well. An excellent textbook.

All of you who are truly searching for intimacy with Christ, READ THIS BOOK. It clears up a lot of ideas in the Bible that most people didn't catch. Through visions and dreams, Dale was about to supposedly walk with Christ and meet in his presence. One must read the book to truly understand, but as I have read, it almost seemed like Dale was going crazy and I'm afraid to believe it...but from what I read and understand, being fifteen, It does line up with the Bible. I had gone to a cult when I was younger and now I am quite cautious when I read this. All people should check it out and make sure it does line up..

I had got this book awhile ago and I had never Read it until DC had this major Blizzard of feb 03. I had been trying to read the awesome book. But, it was not the time for me to read it. I read it in two days. During this storm I had the time to do nothing but read and absorb. This book will truly open your eyes hear mind and spirit to know the Holy Father.I passed this book on to the Pastor of my church and I am telling others to get the book. It is worth losing a little sleep over. You will be rewarded for it. You can FIND HIM NOW.

If there is a prophetic guide for this end-time revival, this would have to be the book! By taking you to the true "Secret Place," Dr. Dale A. Fife prophetically reveals God's true plan for His people,w hich is to have fellowship with Him. This book is especially good for anyone in the five fold ministry or an intecessory prayerer. God Bless this man for this book.......

Joseph Roth was a master journalist from Vienna who moved to Berlin on 1920 to investigate and report first hand on what he feared was a doomed megapolis. WHAT I SAW: REPORTS FROM BERLIN 1920-1933 is one of the most refreshingly original books to grace our shores in years. Roth was concerned with newspaper writing but he was also a poet of rare distinction and courage. These 'feuilletons' or short essays on observations reveal insights into the Berlin from the fall of the Weimar Republic to the rise of the Nazi reqime. Calling these small essays 'readers for walkers' Roth wanders the streets and mass transportation of Berlin, looking into the backyards of common day people, the Jewish neighborhoods/ghettoes, the photographs in the police files of the unknown dead victims found in the gutters, the high wired clubs of decadent diversions, buildings of history and of future, and all the while he maintains a beautiful descriptive, poetic style while keeping his eyes wide open to the pathetic prophecy of the doom of the great city of Berlin. His words: 'The story of how absolutism and corruption, tyranny and speculation, the knout and shabby real estate dealings, cruelty and greed, the pretense of tough law-abidingness and blathering wheeler-dealer stood shoulder to shoulder, digging foundations and building streets, and of how ignorance, poor taste, disaster, bad intentions and the occassional very happy accident have come together in building the capital of the German Reich...' are balanced on other pages of describing the beauty of the sky above Berlin, the pathos of the lonely and neglected poor people on the trains, and the wonder of the vaguely temporary air that surrounded the bulding of a city after The Great War.

Roth is able to tell us so much history in so brief a space. Here are the beginnings of Isherwood's BERLIN STORIES, the birth of the style of the recent works of WG Sebald's books, and even the writings of Edmund White in THE FLANEUR. Would that our newspapers could find the space AND the talent to place such insightful observations in our poetically vapid journalism of today! This is a rare book of beautiful writing and we are indebted to translator Michael Hofmann not only for his lyrical English style, but also for his own insightful essay about the man who wrote these 'feuilletons'. A sad parting note is that Joseph Roth died in Paris in 1939 from the effects of his alcoholism. Such was the influence of Berlin on many artists of thetime.

It's true, there's poetry on every page. Beautifully rendered portraits of a city and a culture. Roth's poetic imagination and powers of observation are only matched by his compassion. A must read-for anyone interested in the development of the 20th century human in Europe.

Joseph Roth, What I Saw; Reports from Berlin 1920-1933. Translated by Michael Hofmann. I enjoy walking around cities, noticing people, activities, and places, especially the five boroughs of my New York. This new book collects and translates some thirty-four essays Joseph Roth penned for newspaper readers between 1920 and 1933. He was a young outsider from Lemberg (Lviv) and Vienna, but he is obviously a Berliner, a man fascinated by its people and scenes. We tend to know Berlin of this period from history books or "Cabaret." This book engaged me because each essay is a fresh look at an aspect of life in the German capital during this crucial period. For example, as U.S. newspapers now report the ever-growing Wal-Marts, Roth's essay, "The Very Large Department Store," looks at the trend as a poet does, with notice to the way crowds are swept upwards, almost against their will, to further displays. Moreover, the displays are so numerous that the multiplicity of the offerings devalues each item. Note also the essay, "With the Homeless" (1920), for his sensitive description of people. Roth observed well, wrote well. Whoever chose the accompanying photographs, added meaningful and helpful images, on theme, even if sometimes off-date. Dating some photographs was smart.

Faulkner is, without a doubt, one of the South's best writers, and re-reading this collection of novels after many years affirms that belief for me. He was a master of words and I wish we had more Faulkner novels to feast on. Almost no one can measure up to him!

There is nothing quantitative in this volume that you can't get in other editions of Faulkner's work; however, the Library of America copy is to be strongly commended for the clarity of its typeface, its sturdy cloth-bound hardcover, and its designed ability to *lie flat* at each page. The only fault I could find with this volume is that it would be nice to have _The Sound and the Fury_ included in a Library of America edition as well (currently, the Modern Library edition is the best that can be done). I strongly recommend this edition to the serious reader who, familiar with Faulkner, is looking for a reference copy of these works that will not deteriorate over time (did I mention acid-free paper and a cloth bookmark?). Considering the price of each of these titles in paperback, this volume's value to the casual reader speaks for itself; you, too, are advised to invest in this worthy tome.

There are many great books, but I have read only two perfect ones, "As I Lay Dying" by Faulkner and Shakespeare's "King Lear." Lear's "howl" after Cordelia's death is (I think) the high point of English literature and Vardeman's internal dialoge (and chapter heading "My Mother is a Fish") is the purest form of writing expression and the high-water mark of American Literature. If you like to read, there are so many subtle threads that run through "As I Lay Dying." You'll recognize Chaucer, T.S.Eliot, and I think Shakespeare's "Lear." Like Gorky, Faulkner uses common people to expound upon universal themes like betrayal and unrequited love, but he does it better, and looks at it harder, than anyone has before or since.

This is by far the best alternative health book I've ever read. It tells you everything you needed to know about your health but were never told. All those niggling little ailments that we all get yet brush away until something bad goes wrong with our health - it gives symptoms and remedies. I have been consulting it for 23 years to fix up heaps of conditions.

Anyone who wants to understand why certain foods, herbs etc. heal all kinds of disease should read this book. It shows what the cell salts are, how they work and why any disease is attributed to a lack of certain cell salts. This is the best book of its kind and is required reading in many alternative health colleges. A tremendous resource for understanding why food, herbal and other therapies work, plus giving a ton of practical information.

This private revelation written by Venerable Mary of Agreda in the mid 1600's as revealed by the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of God and the Queen of Creation is a blessing for all that read it.It reveals God's intention for Mary from the beginning of creation in the same instant that the Son of the Father would become the God-Man,Jesus Christ.It reveals the hidden earthly life of Holy Mary and the Holy Family from Mary's Immaculate Conception in St Anne and by St Joachim to her Coronation in Heaven as its Queen.It's revelation concerning the Trinity,creation,Lucifer's downfall,man's downfall,the Old Testament,the Life of Christ,Mary and St Joseph,of hell and purgatory,of the earthy possession and power of Satan and his demons,of Christ's Passion and death,of the interpretation and meaning of St John's Revelation and other Mysteries of God and Mary--- are without equal in private revelation.The ultimate goodness that this book reveals from The Queen of Mercy and Grace,is the tremendous power God has bestowed on The Mother of Mankind as sinful man's Intercessor to Christ thru her distribution of God's mercy and grace.Thus thru Her Human Perfectness as the Mother of God,She has become the Gateway to Heaven for individual man-if only he recognizes her as his Queen of Heaven and sincerely asks for Her Mercy and for his personal salvation.This writing has gained all of the approbations of the many Religious Orders,Congregations,Princes and Popes of The Roman Catholic Church.

I feel the book is more valuable than the bible in many ways. The bible gospels have conflicts in them, and were written many years after the fact. This book has to be factual and was and is very etifing and enhancing for me to read and reread. While some people shy away from this type of private revalations I find it rewarding. Many would not and do not take the effort to read this type of material. Knowing about the author helps a lot in appreciating the work. Truly it is one of the greatest books ever written. The other private revelation books do not provide factual and interesting information. They visualize and speculate in their mind, while the Mystical City leaves not doubt of authority and integrity.

This book is well-organized and informative. It has helped me with there vivid pictures and types of endangered species
