This book is great as a quick and easy reference for what a health professional would need to know about a drug! The drugs are categorised alphabetically,hence reducing time to search through the index. Brand name(s) could be found alphabetically too with reference to the generic name(s) and respective page(s). Information on pharmacokinetics, percentage of adverse effects, probable drug-drug and drug-food interactions are stated too, making this a useful reference!

This book is one of the best summaries of major Canadian constitutional enactments up to its date of publication. The presentation of cases in an excerpted format, rather than in full, enhances clarity and assists in identifying the critical elements of each case. In addition, the commentary and general linkages between cases assists greatly in understanding Canada's constitutional development. The only drawback is the book's age; it does not cover and constitutional developments following 1989.

Get Dressed Robbie is a great introduction to French words for clothes. Like all of the "I Can Read French" books, both the English and French is on each page. You start by reading the whold book in English, then go back to read each page in both English and French. Finally, you try to read it all in French. This helps the young reader and/or adult helper to compare and understand the words and sentence structure of both languages. Even better, is that French pronounciation for every line in the book is located in the back. Unfortunately, the pronounciation is in the back instead of on each page, probably because each page would otherwise be too cluttered. Although I really like this series of books, they tend to be a little too long, and a little too much like lists. This is very useful practice for new French readers, but can get a little tedious. If this book, and others in the series, where instead shortened and made into board books with pronounciation on each page, then they would be fabulous for toddlers. Nevertheless, the books in this series are still a great start for young readers and adult helpers who have no previous experience with French.

The author of this book is the former chair of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at the University of Washington, and a long-time Associate Editor of Obstetrics & Gynecology, the leading medical journal for women's health care. He knows his stuff!

This book could serve as either a textbook for a philosophy of mind class or as a tool with which one can teach oneself these concepts. The basic setup of the book is quite helpful and informative. Morton begins each section with a lengthy commentary on the readings that will follow; these typically involve a discussion of the historical background of a particular philosophy, key terms, and a detailed discussion of the excerpt or essay contained in the section. The book includes a glossary but suffers from a lack of an index; the process of locating a term mentioned in an introduction, for example, tends to be quite complicated. The text "begins at the beginning" with Plato, Aristotle, Galileo, and a great deal of information and readings about and by Descartes. The actual philosophies it covers are: dualism, monism (materialism and idealism), logical behaviorism, linguistic philosophy, mind-brain identity theory, artificial intelligence, functionalism, and eliminative materialism. Each of these typically has 2-3 thinkers represented in terms of essays and excerpts, and the sections vary from about 20 to 40 pages apiece. Morton almost always provides a large and well-excerpted chunk of reading, which, coupled with the detail he provides in his commentary, will help in making a person able to discuss and understand the positions detailed here. The book concludes with a lengthy section on consciousness (featuring Nagel's famous essay "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" plus three other readings) and a somewhat confusing section on Intentionality (perhaps the most confusing section of the book). Morton's commentary, overall, is clear and helpful; the philosophies covered here are quite complex, but his writing and careful choosing of reading material makes them easier to grasp.

This is a great book for those who would like to experience how Victorian men viewed Africa as well as what a great safari would have involved. As it is a day-by-day account, some of the geographical descriptions feel a little repetitive, but can be skimmed over without detracting from the story.It would be a great mistake to judge Stanley too critically by modern standards,however, or you may end up hating it from the beginning and getting nothing from it.

I am a non-christian at this moment, and since reading this book I have entered the dimension that God has reserved for ME and I receive wonderful blessings every time. This has touched my soul. My favorite chapter is Snow - a loving tribute to a praying Mother. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

This book is great for little kids really interested in Orcas. The photographs are fantstic, and she explaings everything she does each day. There are little blurbs on "whale vocab." It's something you can read again and again.

I coincidently heard about Morton from 2 sources at the same time; the wonderful Israeli historian Amos Elon is full of praise for Morton, and an orthodox catholic mate of mine thought I'd like him, so I checked him out...

I read 'Through Lands of the Bible' first and couldn't put it down. Great stuff, it demonstrated Morton's emminently readable style, and was packed with as much humour as piety. I could not wait to read In the Steps of St. Paul and liked it almost as much. 'Almost' because the... theme that ran through got a little too heavy towards the end, and I'm always suspicious of Christians who hate - even if you do blame 'the Jews' for killing Jesus, wouldn't Jesus expect you to forgive?

Anyway, if you're an anti-semite, that shouldn't be a problem, and if you're a [Jewish] with thick skin (like Elon I presume) give it a go...

Dr. Isada's handbook is a great tool for the resident, fellow, or attending. It requires a basic knowledge of infectious diseases for user friendliness. The beauty of the book is its comprehensive listing of infectious organisms and the disease presentations they cause. Also useful is the very relevant diagnostic tests and procedures that once ordered allow confirmation of the infecting organism. It is in many regards a portable Mandel. The third editions also is smaller and more compact in size, allowing easy portability. Highly recommend this book
