This book was eye opening to me. Because theauthor limits his scope to 100 drugs, he was ableteach me the philosophy and some history behind the creation of the most useful drugs of today. As an experienced physician, the author is able to insert is own opinions and experiences about his chosen top 100 drugs. This makes thisbook much more useful to the average person then those other "pill books" which cram thousands of drugs and mind boggling technical info into a single book. If you have found yourself caught up in, and maybe discouraged by, the "natural supplements" craze (like I have), then you may find this book will bring you back into the 20th centry of safe FDA approved drugs.

I'm ordering this book to use at a summer school for Baha'i children. Baha'is believe that we know the Hundreth Name which is also the Greatest Name of God and we often call ourselves the Community of the Greatest Name. To find this book in our local library was a gift. It is such a generous view of an Islamic family and shows much love between a father and son. It will be very popular story with my children.
