effect

This is a classic of cardiovascular medicine. In its newest edition Opie's book is excellent in many ways: first, it is a small book, almost a pocket-book, and loaded with concise yet precise infformation. It is the kind of book you can put in your black bag and you can belive it will be valuable anywhere, from the ICU to the ambulatory. There are many excellent chapters on drugs, all of them with an solid pharmacological basis, each chapter is an great review of the subject. But the best of this book is that it is very practical: it goes straight to the problems more commonly found in the cardiology office or in the ICU, with the big advantage of being small and portable. An must-have book for physicians intrested in cardiology and in cardiovascular drugs pharmacology, also excellent for residents. Hope we have an new edition of this great book soon!

I do locum tenens (temporary) doctoring and when I go on an assignment this is the first book to go in my suitcase. I take it to the office with me in the morning and take it home at night in case I get a question that I need it for. It is clear, concise, comprehensive and as authoritative as any text can be. If you care for or prescribe meds to pregnant or lactating women, this is a "must have".

I use this text in my undergraduate course 'Drugs and HumanBehavior' at USC. The students like it. The pictures are great. Everything's explained in clear language. The references are up to date, chapters are well organized, and the reviews are comprehensive.

This book should be a requirement for all teenagers. Very informative and doesn't hold back. It says, "At the present rate of mortality 1,000,000 young people ALIVE today will be destroyed by lung cancer." Read this book and stop smoking.

This book illustrates Josephson effect clearly and completely. Hard to find better one on this field. Only that the price is as high as its value.

A lucid, sensitive, knowlegeable, thoughtful, and beautifully written book, this account of the eclipse of transcendence--and how we may end the eclipse--reminds me of C. S. Lewis.---Jeffrey B. Russell, author of A History of Heaven.

The writing is as great as ever by Drucker, I don't understand why this book is less popular than others.
For example, the essay on Japanese culture and why Japan will fail economically was written almost ten years ago, and it is the deepest and best analysis I have seen. The time was 1993, everybody in Japan including the monks that Peter talked to was talking about economics, yet Peter rightly sensed that the problem of Japan was cultural and social rather than economic.
Wish I knew this earlier and shorted Japanese stocks...

I heard about this book from a colleague who attended the annual herp conference this year. It is an excellent compilation of literature on the subject, includes chapters on amphibian and repilte physiology, and much, much more. I particularly needed specific tolerance information that was up-to-date, and wasn't disappointed. Contains specific LC50s for all research to date. Overall, an excellent investment.

I was forced to read this book as part of a rehabilitation program at my school, and I have to admit that I was skeptical at first. But, after I read Mr Werther's book, I changed my mind. Ecstasy is bad! It is bad for your heart and your mind. I thought he was "right on" when he talked about how it makes you nice. So nice that you might even give away important information like your moms credit card information! I like how it wasn't too long, but it really made me think. Now I'll stick to things I haven't read about!

This is quite possibly the best book written on the subject of ecstacy and the problems it creates for the international club going youth. I can't wait for the next book by this brilliant author.
