The Collector's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Hull Pottery.......2007-02-25
I've just begun collecting pottery and basically didn't have a clue to what I was doing. I've purchased three different kind of encyclopedia books for pottery and the Hull Pottery I would have to pick as the best for details, pictures and prices.
Must have!.......2006-03-12
This is the best most comprehensive book I have seen. I love it!

A lovely collection of formulas and stories.......2005-09-06
Beginners seeking a user-friendly quilter's guide will find the vivid colors and unusual designs of M'Liss Rae Hawley's Get Creative! to be inviting. M'Liss provides only 8 projects to serve as a foundation for gathering skills, but each easy project offers important lessons in color and design and offers enough flexibility for beginners to incorporate their own designs and interests. A lovely collection of formulas and stories.
Inspiring.......2005-08-09
The book is great, I like the format and the clear instructions. Beautiful photos. The price was also great. I like saving money for more fabric.
Get Creative.......2005-06-13
This book is excellent. I would recommend starting at the beginning and reading through each project. It is set up as a workbook and one chapter leads into the next. A color wheel is a must and really helps one select the fabric for each project. Not all sales persons in the fabric store have the knowledge that you will obtain from this book. Thanks M'liss.

Book Description
The groundbreaking original edition of Buzzed has sold over 60,000 copies—and now the authors have revised and updated it to include the most recent discoveries about drugs. This scientifically accurate and easy-to-read handbook gives the most balanced, objective information available on the most often used and abused drugs, from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to heroin, ecstasy, and Special K. In both quick-reference summaries and in-depth analysis, it reports on how these drugs enter the body, how they manipulate the brain, their short-term and long-term effects, the kinds of "high" they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly.
Neither a "just say no" treatise nor a "how-to" manual, Buzzed is based on the conviction that people make healthier decisions when they "just say know"—when they understand in straightforward language how our complex brains really work and why even small doses of various substances can have such powerful (and sometimes life-threatening) effects. 8 pages of color illustrations.

Just Say Know!.......2007-04-25
This is a book that takes the right approach to drug education. It certainly isn't the naive rhetoric of the "Just Say No" campaign nor does it romanticize drug use or downplay the potential dangers. Instead it provides a wealth of useful factful information that is based on scientific research but is still accessible to the average reader.
The book is divided into sections based on the various classes of drugs - hallucinogens, opiates, stimulants, etc. Just about every drug, both legal and illegal,is covered, with extra attention paid to those most widely consumed, such as alcohol and marijuana.
The writers here tell it like it is and, overall, do an outstanding job. I would have preferred slightly more attention devoted to explaining the actual effects, both positive and negative, of each individual drug (ie) how it feels to "get high". Some people may see this as promoting drug use. But the truth is that "getting high" can sometimes feel really bad. For example, smoking pot can, for some people, cause intense feelings of anxiety very similar to what people with clinical anxiety experience. Can smoking pot lead to clinical anxiety later in life? The truth is that the medical community is, to the best of my knowledge, still out on this question. In fact, far too little is known about all illegal drugs because the government, in its ignorance, makes it extremely difficult for scientists to study them. But exploring the effects of specific drugs on brain chemistry is where this book excels. The three primary writers are professors at Duke University Medical Center and so are clearly well qualified to write on the subject.
This book should be required reading for all high schools students and I would recommended it to just about anyone working in the field or interested in the topic. Knowledge is power and this book provides a great education.
wonderful book.......2007-01-22
I had this book along with chemical dependency for graduate drug class. I have used this book in my psychology and law enforcement professions and find it to be very easy to use and very informative. Great for those who want an easy read.
Different than anything else.......2006-11-10
I love this book because it's the first I have read that JUST gives the facts. Good or bad, the writers speak from a scientific perspective rather than what the media tries to feed the public. It's refreshing and I can trust that there is no hidden agenda here.
Modern, Factual, Agenda-Free Handbook on Modern Drug Abuse.......2005-12-15
Some folks reviewing this book don't seem to understand the purpose for which the book was intended: This is a general consumer book with "straight facts" from Ph.D.s in pharmacology and chemistry on "the most used and abused drugs." This isn't intended to be comprehensive. It it certainly isn't about grandstanding as some tool in the "war on drugs." The motto in this book is "Just say Know."
The authors candidly observe, for example, that it's practically impossible to overdose on marijuana. There's no "Reefer Madness" in this text. And alcohol, caffeine and nicotine certainly qualify as abused drugs in this day and age. The substances that are covered include those above and Ecstasy (MDMA), various hallucinogens (LSD, mushrooms, peyote, etc.), so-called "herbal drugs", various inhalants (nitrous oxide and psychotoxics), marijuana, opiates, sedatives in general and stimulants in general. The chapters on "Drug Basics," "Brain Basics" and "Legal Issues" were straightforward and concise.
I work principally in law enforcement and use this book along with the Drug Identification Bible as resource literature in helping local kids with presentations. One of the authors, Dr. Wilkie Wilson, has been a TV Dateline expert and wonderful spokesperson for being informed about the risks of drug use.
Buzzed: The Straight Facts about the Most Used and Abused Drugs from Alcohol to Ecstasy, Fully Revised and Updated Second Editio.......2005-09-15
great condition, recived very fast in mail
Book Description
A new edition of this classic text on the world's number one drug problem. Written in a clear and lively style by a world authority on alcoholism, the book is aimed at those who have alcohol problems and the people who share their lives. Throughout, it examines the social, psychological, and medical aspects of alcohol problems. The five years since publication of the 2nd edition have seen the conclusion of the massive Project MATCH study - undoubtedly the largest ever research project on the treatment of alcoholism and problem drinking. The new edition considers some of the findings from this project, and the implications they have for treatment methods. Other areas expanded include those on women and alcoholism and a look at recent results from studies into genetic causes of alcoholism. Reviews of 1st and 2nd editions 'Don Goodwin is something of a phenomenon: a physician who can write... clear and compelling, yet interesting, even amusing.' American Journal of Psychiatry '... gives much sound and practical advice on dealing with alcoholics... highly recommended.' British Medical Journal Goodwin is a master of his art... the most lucid account of alcoholism for the layman to appear.' British Journal of Psychiatry '.This book is highly recommended, both to learners and post-registration nurses in all specialties... this is a valuable book; everyone should read it.' Nursing Times '...readable, concise, and thorough.' Annals of the Royal college of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada 'Anyone concerned with their own or another's excessive drinking should read "Alcoholism: The Facts". A modest, well-presented book, it is succinct and rarely wastes a word.' The Canberra times
Customer Reviews:
Reader.......2000-02-12
I found this book disturbing. The author defines alcoholism most narrowly: basically one must be completely out of control and not functioning on any level to qualify. This book will provide refuge for the functioning alcoholic who is looking for a source to support his denial. The author takes "problem drinking" very lightly, suggesting that it can and does cure itself at the drinker's will. Much of this book contradicts everything I have read or heard from all other sources (and certainly my own experience with a "problem drinker.") The author also seems somewhat hostile to AA, a bias he should have disclosed in the preface. It is hard to believe that this book represents "the facts," any more than it represents the author's perspective. Readers should not assume that the author's MD makes him anything more than a human with an opinion; and in this case, one that is not broadly accepted.
A superb and accessible look at a debilitating disorder........1998-04-24
Goodwin's accessible, effortless style, which he used so well in previous editions, carries the reader nicely through the intricacies of one of the world's most popular drugs and its associated disorders. Excerpts from literature and case studies provide a superb feel for the phenomenology of addiction. Numerous entertaining quotes appear from everyone from Kissinger to Humpty Dumpty. Goodwin provides a thorough look at alcohol itself, the problems associated with excess consumption, common theories designed to account for these problems, and many of the available treatments. Through simple explanations of the correct interpretations of available data, Goodwin not only provides a great deal of meaningful information, but he teaches the reader to become a good consumer of research. This book is refreshingly scientific and lacks the horribly moralistic tone many books on this topic take.

The most comprehensive, yet understandable, book on cocaine.......1999-01-14
In doing a report on cocaine for a class I took I read a number of books of cocaine. This book was the most comprehensive and yet understandable book on not only the drug but its effect on every part of the human body. I never thought it would be possible to get this good an understanding of a drug and the addiction without knowing a lot of medical stuff. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more, especially if you know someone dealing with this addiction.
