This book is my bible. It was helpful while going through pharmacy courses, but in clinical clerkships, it was my saviour. Quick information on side effects, pharmacokinetic data and comparisons between classes of drugs are right at your fingertips! Its small enough to carry around (though it won't fit in your pocket - even if you wear a lab coat) and a great way to look smart when someone asks you a question you don't know!

Great tragedies afford men insights into mysteries otherwise unfathomed. This unusual volume reveals a panorama of one of literature's great dramatic art forms--the tragedy--as it has developed from Sophocles' time in Greece to the twentieth century of Eugene O'Neill. It provides penetrating insight into the nature of tragedy and the changing points of view held by eminent dramatists through the ages. Some of the world's greatest dramas unfold on these pages. The three editors of the book hold PhD's from Harvard University and now teach in colleges.

The title of this book is a bit misleading. Calling it the "Major Phase" makes it sound as if all the stories are from the same period in the career of Henry James. This isn't precisely true. Furthermore, the title story (The Cage) might lead one to suspect that all the stories are from his last period.

Now, I don't defer to many people in the level of my admiration for the work of this writer, but I am certainly aware that some stories in the book (e.g., "The Author of Beltraffio," "The Altar of the Dead") are easier going than "The Cage" or "The Beast in the Jungle" or "The Jolly Corner"--that is, stories written in James's "late manner."

However, the chronological presentation of these tales, as well as the excellent selection of material, makes a fine entrance to the world of his later novels. I'm thinking in particular of The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl.

So, if the only thing you have read by this author is Washington Square and Portrait of a Lady, and you aren't sure whether you want to dive into the writer's later work, this book is a good test.

It is an excellent book to search the roots of our western world's religious heritage. The spiritual reality is presented as a reality, even for old fashioned Christianity in the world of the esoteric. The book reads very well, for which a college degree is not needed.

This autobiography recounts the life and adventures of a British doctorwho decides to do his residency in America and decides to stay.The book focuses on the daily joys and little tales of a resident in a hospital, and later of the doctor and his doctor-wife working in rural America. It also gives a detailed look at how medical practice was different in the post-war era. In some sense it reminded me of "A little house on the prarie", in another it is also the story of an immigrant who has to make his life with the little he had at the time. The book ends on a very unexpected note - an intriguing twist that lingered in my head long after I had put the book down.

I have used this book as a guide at the largest exotic plant garden in Florida for a year and a half. Helps the beginner get his/her feet on the groud of the basics. East carry and i.d.

The Fabulous Fifty is a great book with some suspense, action and adventure. In 1921 Philidelphia's leading daily newspaper printed coupons to go see the World Series.

Will they be able to go to the World Series and get all of the prises or will all there hard work go to waste? This book is great for people who love baseball, have to read a historical book or just want some adventure.

There are many charletans out there along with the many more licensed, reputable healers; this is the best book available to help you discern the difference.

I have read this book over and over and have used many of the foods recommended for specific things. Like licorice for women. It is a timeless reference that I show to everyone I know. Some people are afraid of the title and it's a shame because our bodies need sex and we may as well perform to the best of our abilities.

It is a great book to use in Kindergarten. It is a one to one correspondence book.
