This is one of the famous books written in pharmacology. it makes it interesting to study this subgect. although it not a comprehensive book in pharmacology and can not be used as a reference, it is good to start with in your medical study. It discusses topics in a nice way with summery at the end of each topic, and have a nice chapters in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with illustrations. Not boring to read and have a good lyout.

Its strange that such an exciting subject as pharmacology is served by so many badly organised, boringly written and outdated textbooks. Rang + Dale is a refreshing antidote to this strange state of affairs. The first 8 chapters form a superb introduction to the subject - particularly because the authors don't skimp on the physiological details and concentrate on principles rather than endless catalogues of obscure drugs. This is a British textbook and thus uses British nomenclature, but the American equivalents are pointed out along the way, so American readers shouldn't be put off. The more advanced student will of course outgrow the material in this book, but I would strongly recommend this textbook for science undergrads, medical students, and anyone looking for a book to provide a solid foundation to their study of pharmacology.

This book was used by my plant propagation teacher while I was at the university. It explains the basic principles of plant propagation in detail. All the information is back-up by scientific data. Very good for the professional grower or a plant science student; not very appropriate for the common gardener.

A very informative book with many examples of plant species and their specific propagation requirements. Very detailed but also useful for the beginning propagationist. Great chapters on tissue culture.

For fans of plant propogation, this is a must-read. I read it every night, and I can't get enough of it. Be sure to dog-ear the section about the "stigma fertilizing the stamen." It's hot!

I read a selection of this book in another book. It was called Telling Mom. It was funny yet serious. It was the perfict monologue I was looking for. It was something that I showed all of my friends. If you are looking for a good book to use for Monologues I would say to use, The Actor's BOOK OF Monologues FOR Women.

I heard about this book at a party. I've read short stories by the author before in Lesbian Bedtime Stories and Dykescapes and they were pretty good, but this book took me to another world. Hot lesbians running around the jungle all cloaked in a shroud of spirituality!

I can't wait for her next book. Is The Ancestor the correct title? Does anyone know when it's coming out?

Most lesbian novels are very formulaic, with no depth. Rites of First Blood is an amazingly intriguing story with love, passion, adventure, compassion and a deep exploration of fascinating issues. It's a sexy book, but it also made me think. What would you do if you found the person and life you loved, but keeping it meant completely abandoning everything you ever knew? I recommend this novel highly. Travel along as she opens her mind to explore healing, spirituality, love and strength in a tribe of women.

Tuff's Luck was a fairly good book with plenty of excitment. Neil Parker (who LOVES dogs) falls in love with a bouncey Jack Russel Terrier at a nearby farm.

Then Neil and Chris see a ghost! Who knows what is going on in the woods? Will a mystireous little dog called Bramble that was found in a tangle in the woods spill the secret...

Tuff(Mr.Grey,s dog) and Neil find there is a poacher at Mr.Grey's farm. Animals(pets) are getting hurt. What can they do about it? Read and find out! -ReaderGirL9 P.S. If you like mysteries and you and you like dogs you will love this book!

... will they find the poachers befor someone gets hurt??

Just finished this book. It was fantastic. If you like Orson Scott Card's "Alvin Journeyman" or Katharine Kimbriel's "Night Calls" you must read this one. It takes our ordinary world and puts a twist of magic in it. Every page keeps you eager for more. Unicorns, Druids, the "sight" right along side British Intelligence, WWII, and Nazi Germany. Move over Indiana Jones and let Head Druid Taggart tackle the enemy with the help of an odd assortment of characters - both human and animal.

There's something delicate and yet powerful about this author's writing, something that raises him above the mainstream... something like Piers Athony. You find yourself willingly subscribing to this fantastic fictional world where unicorns may just lurk in the woods, and ordinary mere mortals can look Evil in its glaring red eye. I can't recommend Estey's books highly enough!

Incredible, Incredible, Incredible story!!! I am saving this book for my children to read.

I've been noticing how most of the young adult books I've read and loved and am looking to re-order are unavailable or out-of-print. My recommendation is to scour used bookstores!!

There's enough practical information here that you could probably go out and do it - the only meaningful test for a how-to book. But the pages are small, the type is large, the filler is plentiful, and the cover price is exorbitant. Your call.

I've read this book and have found it quite useful - I'm using it as the starting point for my own forays in this area - and the best thing I can say about it is the spirit it engenders. There are probley a million ways to make a film but you'll never make one unless you believe you can - and this book by showing you very effecive means goes along way into making you believe you can. It's quite comprehensive and goes into good detail though I wouldn't say it was the last word on film-making but then nor does it - and that's not the point because it gives you enough to not just get started with but to make an actual film with - and whatever more you want or need you're natural learning and further exploration will take you to. I reccomend it.

I own about 20 books on filmaking, and this book is very good, probably the best out of the 20. The writers of the book have made a couple of film features (not digital), and they detail everything that they did in the process. Robert Rodriguez's book "rebel without a crew" is a very, very inspirational book. But this book explains every step in the process from starting out writing, to making a camera dolly for $80, to using the canadian exchange rates to your advantage. I got the book used here on amazon for $15. Buy the book, then write a review here, and then go out and make your film!

This is an outstanding book. It offers a lot of really good advice and warnings. I loved it.

Wow! Did you know your medical information soon may be available on the Internet?? This book gives great, easy to follow advice on protecting our Constitutional right to privacy. The necessary phone #s and addresses are included so you can ensure that your rights are protected. I checked this book out from the library but ended up purchasing a copy for myself and one for my mom because the book is a great reference tool.

This book tells you everything you need to know about the legalities of your private life. It is especially useful in understanding what you boss can know and can't know about your privacy. You would be surprised to know what future employers can learn about you. Get it, learn your rights.

I enjoyed this book immensely for myself but Im a 58 yr old retired teacher. I think the reading level of this book is too hard for most teens. Please write to me if you know of a teen who read and enjoyed this book. Thanks

The book How to Stop the Pain, Teen Miditation is a good book to read for young adults. It talks about why young adults are getting pains and why are they doing crazy things to make it better. Young adults are having pains because of money, sex, parents and many more. It also talks about how to medidate. Go to a silent, face the sun, or you can stare at a candle light for 2 minutes and when you close your eyes you can see the flame. Think straight on your topic and ask questions to yourself. Like why did you do it? What made you do it? How come?
I got this book at the library. I was looking for a book and I just found it. The title "Stop the Pain" made me wanted to read it. It seems that it interesting. You would just like to keep on going and going and going. The illustrating I admired too. The cartoons are so cute and creative.
Yes, I do like this book. It talks about your problems you have and your going to have. I mean like when you get old, your going to find a job for money, but for now sometimes our problems are mostly our friends or parents. This book takes you step by step. Even illustrate how to exercise meditate. It always says to calm yourself and be happy to who you are. Don't care about others, but yourself.

"Since pain is an integral part of life, the author encourages teens to consider meditation -- conscious attention to what is going on in the brain -- as the most healt6hy antidote...time tested meditation techniques -- from simple breathing exercies to active yoga and martial-arts forms...constructive means for dealing with negative emotions and challenges, including words of widom from Eastern and Western philosophers and religious teachers....Much good adivce is contained in these pages...resources, pictures."

The author's dedication to thorough research and personal interviews with survivors guaranteed a fascinating, informative read. I am virtually ignorant of the history of our participation in Vietnam (we never seemed to get past WWII in either High School or College). Even though I was unfamiliar with history or geography in Vietnam, this book was easy to understand. The included maps were helpful. I do agree with the previous reviews that more detailed maps (showing each location mentioned) would have been nice. I finished this book with vivid pictures of American advisors caught in the heat of action, US bombers bailing out the ineffective S. Vietnam army, and perhaps a taste of the sickening feeling the S. Vietnamese felt as they watched the US troops leave. A good read.

This is a excellent account of the 1972 Easter Offensive in Vietnam during the final stages of the American troop withdrawals. This is a story of courage, stupidity, cowardice and of major and minor fire-fights and battles. The courage of those American advisers and the South Vietamese troops they assisted during this brutal offensive is awe inspiring. Not to forget their enemies who took massive punishment from US airpower but carried on the fight! This is a well researched and written piece of military history which I think has been forgotten due to the fact that it was at the tail end of a unpopular war. The author has done a great job to remind us that the war didn't finish when all the troops got home, that people continued to fight & die long after. Well worth the time to read with over 500 pages of text, however the author could have provided some better maps.

This book is very well done. It puts together a large group of references to present a descriptive picture of the 1972 Easter Offensive. A suggestion to prospective readers; obtain a copy of "A Bright Shining Lie" by Neil Sheehan. The maps are invaluable as an aid to this book, and if you haven't read "A Bright Shining Lie" already, you should read it also. The two book tie together in 1972.
