An old time herbalist tells all she's learned carried down from generation to generation. Includes herbal advise for just about any illness of which they are all listed (cancer to the common cold) with explanations of all the medicinal herbs and how to prepare them; drying, teas, tinctures (essences), juices, pulp, poultices, ointments and oils, compresses, and herbal baths. How to collect them and the back has great color plates so you can identify herbs. My very first book on herbs. Hard to understand for a beginning book, but a good one for anyone interested in herbs.

This book is small, but it is PACKED with useful information.

This is only one of two herb books that were given places of honor in my personal library. I have been referring to this book for almost 10 years.

If you take time to read the beginning of this book, it will become exactly what the author intended an aid for the average person to take care of and heal him self, at home, with what he most likely allready has on hand.

As an undergraduate text for medicinal chemistry, I think this book is the best in the market. It's appropriate for students who have only had two semesters of organic chemistry. The layout is logical. Aside from chapter 7 (chelating agents), the first nine chapters are at least decent and mostly very good. Chapter 10 (nucleic acids) and 11 (nitric oxide) probably belong more in a biochem text than a med chem book. Chapter 12 (organic synthesis) is well out of the scope of this book and falls flat.

The book has a huge number of errors. Most of which are in the chemical figures and will not bother anyone unless they like looking at structures. Some of the errors involve the mathematic equations and could cause trouble for a student who isn't paying attention.

The only major complaint I have about the book is that chapter 5 (pharmacokinetics) is almost completely devoid of units on the variables in the equations and graphs. Proper use of units would greatly help a student in learning material in this chapter.

While not perfect, this book is very good for a junior/senior upper-level chemistry course.

Accompanied by elaborated worked examples, as well as self-assessment questions, the components of this book are complete. It introduces its reader to the underlying principles of drugs discovery and development, using the simplest possible method. Each one of its illustrated chapters included content-summary at the end of that chapter.
From pharmaceutical chemistry to pharmacological kinetics, the introductory scope of this book is unique. Sound narrations regarding methods of Drug Discovery, Combinatorial Synthesis, Drug Action, Receptor Structure and Signal Transduction, as well as many others, gave this book a top niche in my scale of text preferences.
Its price is reasonable, and its pages are overflowing with pieces of hard-to-beat information. I will not hesitate to recommend this book for pharmacy students; and for any other person who takes introductory pharmacology course. It is very sound.

This book is the first reasonably priced nurses drug reference I have purchased. The print is easy on the eyes, the book stays open when you need it, and the information is detailed and includes beneficial alerts in red.

The single reason I did not give it a 5 star is because it does not have the main drug interection complication in bold (I am used to seeing this in other reference books)... Still.. this is, by far, the best drug reference I have found in over three years of nursing.

The publisher's comments are, for once, right on the money on this new book, but they seem to gloss over the big news--the page layout is fantastic and you can actually read the type! I also found it full of very practical information and geared to the nurse rather than the MD. There are a lot of drug handbooks out there (maybe too many, in fact) but this one is the one I'm probably going to use the most often.

Good Boo

the book explains all the problems. THe answers are right after each set of porblems, not at the end. It is clear.

This book had some good things of what a person may look into and for when starting to Validate Pharmaceutical Equipment. There are so many example references to actual equipment that one could almost hear them running in their processes. It did not contain everything, but it sure did open one's eyes as to what to be aware of.

I did use this book in one instance for a non-pharmaceutical validation and its format helped me through it to a successful conclusion.

Overall, I was well pleased with this selection of mine. It's a great source for variety... makes you think a bit. This was good.

Actual and concrete, if qualification is the target this book has the right way to think to do it. Fortunately right on time thanks to Amazon.com

If your studying drugs by prototype this is the best organized book. You will not find a clearer book. All the drugs are separated by prototype and by drug classes. Also gives information on how the drugs work in the body and nursing implications to look for. Its worth every penny!!

This handy little book provides very concise categories for studying pharmacology. Simplifies otherwise confusing information! A great addition to any pharmacology text and coursework.

Very fine investigative reporting on the two main themes: (1) the machinations of Genentech in bringing its products to market, sometimes with inadequate testing and plenty of political pressure, and (2) the fraud at the NCI in claiming first isolation of HIV and the pressure used to obtain a patent for a detection method for it in competition with the Pasteur Insititute, which was really first doing both.

The use of federal tax dollars and university labs to fund drug research that would benfit an individual corporation was exposed along with the resulting secrecy and aggression so alien on campuses in the past.

Some history was not so hot. The origin of the� modern age of medicine� did not occur in 1928 when Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, a drug. One could date it from 1897 when Felix Hoffman at Bayer A. G. was searching for new products and recognized that acetylsalicylic acid would ease arthritis pain, leading to aspirin. The modern method of mass screening of compounds as potential drugs began in 1899 when Paul Ehrlich was appointed Director of The Institute for Experimental Therapy in Frankfurt. By 1910 the first treatment for syphilis, Salvarsan, 606, the 606th compound, was launched.
I have read opposite views of the relative merits of the Salk and Sabin vaccines for polio, and of the characters of each. My late wife claimed that Sabin had sexually assaulted her at a medical meeting!

This book is timely, well written, thoroughly researched and extremely disquieting. The usual human limitations including greed, dishonesty, arrogance and hubris are documented in a convincing fashion as they relate to scientists, government and commerce and there is little, if any reason, to be sceptical of the events which are described in considerable detail.

The importance of the book, in my opinion, is that it bears the same relationship to a vital area of molecular biology that Rachel Carson's Silent Sping did to critical issues of environmental pollution. Poisioning the environment and poisoning the manner in which we process scientific information are both extremely destructive activities. The hallmark of the scientific method has always been the free exchange of information between its practioners. This book shows quite clearly that we as a nation have embarked upon the dangerous path of treating scientific information as a commodity rather than as a freely available, continuous source of ideas for some of our best minds to consider and further develop. In the long run this is of no benefit to society. This book suggests, that in the short run, it is also of little if any benefit.

I believe, there is much benefit in reviewing the history of the development of the transistor by Bell Laboratories and the manner in which that organization made this device available to a large number of competitors. No one can argue that the process employed did not lead to benefits for society which exceeded even the most extravagant predictions. A major review of the processes by which scientific information, gathered in large part at a cost to the tax payers, and then utilized to develop commercial ventures is long overdo. It is however doubtful that such will be the case unless the importance of this issue is recognized. The author has performed an important service in this regard.

This product is very informative and well written. However, the spiral binding leaves a lot to be desired. The book itself should be LARGER. Whenever I turn the pages, the ends rip from the spirals. Eventually, as more pages rip...I'm going to have to dismantle it, place the pages in plastic page protector sheets, and slap the entire book in a 3-ring binder, just to keep it for future reference!!

Dr. Liskow et al have written an excellent review of psychotropic medications. Each chapter is well organized with an appropriate amount of material. I greatly appreciated the references for each key point. Overall, an excellent resource for attending psychiatrists and residents.
