Winifred Rosen, Andrew T. Weil, «from Chocolate To Morphine»

From Chocolate to Morphine: Everything You need to Know About Mind-Altering Drugs

Winifred Rosen, Andrew T. Weil, «From Chocolate to Morphine»
Houghton Mifflin | ISBN: 0395660793 | 1993-03-22 | DJVU | 240 pages | 22.53 MB

From coffee to marijuana to smart drugs, Dr. Weil’s definitive guide to legal and illegal drugs – revised and updated for the 1990’s.

From Library Journal

Since drug use has occurred throughout history and within most cultures, the authors in this updated edition of their original work ( LJ 3/15/83) believe that “education based on truthful information is the only solution to the drug problem.” In straightforward language, Weil and Rosen distinguish between drug use and drug abuse and stress the importance of developing a “good relationship” with drugs. Because the authors do not condemn drug use (legal or illegal), their volume may be considered unorthodox by some. Each chapter deals with a specific class of drugs, such as stimulants, depressants, and psychedelics, and describes the different effects of drugs in each category. At the end of each chapter are some precautions for using those drugs and also suggested readings for more information. Aimed at young people and their parents and teachers, this book offers an alternative way of looking at drug use. Recommended for public libraries.

Review

No one can argue that our society likes altered states of consciousness-even if it’s just a chocolate rush from a candy bar. This book is a fascinating primer and history on mind-altering substances. It doesn’t advocate or judge; it just presents the risks and benefits, non-hysterically, on the substances floating around out there today, from magic mushrooms to marijuana to cold remedies. Very few of us are truly “drug free,” so you might want to get the scoop on what’s going in before you ingest it. — From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff –This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The single best book on mind altering drugs

The Medical Basis Of Psychiatry, 3rd Edition (us$185)

The Medical Basis of Psychiatry, 3rd edition (US$185)
Stationary Office | Pages: 824 | 2008-05-16 | ISBN: 1588299171 | 18 MB

Psychiatry has emerged as a burgeoning scientific field with major advances in etiology and treatment of several disorders. Just as there was excitement in the anatomic advances that took place a hundred years ago when Emil Kraepelin and his collaborators took on the enormous task of classification of psychiatric disorders based on rational scientific thinking, new advances in genetics, biochemistry, neuroanatomy and pharmacotherapy of mental disorders have brought us even closer to a better understanding of complex disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and even autism. The major goal of the previous edition of this classic book was to update the busy clinician, psychiatric resident and medical student with the most up-to-date information on etiology, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. This goal remains the focus of the third edition of this book. In this updated and expanded edition, the reader is provided with the most contemporary information and literature supported by a close survey of the field. Several new chapters dealing with new concepts in biology and treatment of mental disorders have been added. This new edition of this classic title, with its focus on biologic and medical aspects of psychiatry, will continue to be of significant help to all interested in the scientific practice of psychiatry.

Osprey – Fortress 83 – Roman Auxiliary Forts

Roman Auxiliary Forts 27 BC – AD 378 (Fortress 83)
By Duncan B. Campbell, Brian Delf
Publisher: Os Publishing 2009 64 Pages
ISBN: 1846033802
PDF 29 MB

With the vast expansion of the Roman Empire came a need for more and more fortifications to defend it. The borders of the Empire stretched through wildly different terrains which demanded a huge variety of different fortifications, depending on the local conditions and the threats faced by the different areas. The adoption of local troops (auxiliaries) and local building techniques at key strategic points on the outskirts of the empire led to an intriguing mix of strong Roman structure with unique culturally diverse elements. Describing the development of these hugely varied defensive systems, Duncan Campbell delves into the operation and social history behind the fortifications.With detailed colour artwork and maps, he traces their history through the Batavian Revolt of the 1st century AD, which saw auxiliary units scattered far from their native regions, until the decline of the late 3rd and 4th centuries placed their fortifications in an increasingly pressurized and eventually untenable position.

Ian Parberry, “problems On Algorithms”

Ian Parberry, “Problems on Algorithms”

Prentice Hall | 1995 | English | ISBN: 0134335589 | PDF | 192 pages | 1,9 MB

With approximately 600 problems and 35 worked examples, this supplement provides a collection of practical problems on the design, analysis and verification of algorithms. The book focuses on the important areas of algorithm design and analysis: background material; algorithm design techniques; advanced data structures and NP-completeness; and miscellaneous problems. Algorithms are expressed in Pascal-like pseudocode supported by figures, diagrams, hints, solutions, and comments.

From the Publisher
Too often the problem sets in standard algorithm texts are composed of small, idiosyncratic units of busy-work and irrelevant questions — forcing instructors into the time-consuming task of finding or composing additional problems. Designed to fill that gap, this supplement provides an extensive and varied collection of useful, practical problems on the design, analysis, and verification of algorithms.

In this exciting debut, author Keri Arthur explodes onto the supernatural scene
with a sexy, sensuous tale of intrigue and suspense set in a world where legends walk and the shady paths of the underworld are far more sinister than anyone envisioned.A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne’s Directorate of Other Races, an organization created to police the supernatural races–and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, a.k.a. assassin, Riley is merely an office worker–until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing couldn’t be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming.…
