Brand new book in a fast amount of time.......2007-09-12
The book was brand new and at a great price. It arrived promptly in perfect packaging.
eBook restricted use disappointing.......2007-08-28
Each copy of the book comes with a eBook download code that allows the book owner to download an electronic copy of the book. The eBook version of the book is a special pdf file that can only be viewed on the computer that downloaded the eBook. The pdf file may be copied to another computer but the file will not be viewable on the other computer due to digital rights management features built into the file. Also, there is a 10 page/day print limit on the file. So if you want to avoid carrying the 3 inch thick book around, you had better download the eBook version to a laptop.
Good read for those in therapeutics.......2007-02-26
Helps make material taught in class solid. Also has nutrtitional information, and OTC drug information in interacting diseases.
Comments.......2007-01-07
One of the most useful and logical texts on pharmacotherapy available. Explaining the disease process then introducing the drugs gives the reader a structure with which to approach the details of drug therapy and allows extension into structurally-similar drugs that may not be covered.
Handy reference.......2006-08-08
I didn't have this book during my P3 (3rd year of PharmD school) year; we used the text by Kradjan that had a patient-based format. DePiro's more traditional format makes it easier to find info quickly. The downloadable format of this text (which comes with the book) makes it even faster to find info. A downside would be books like these are out-of-date as soon as they're published, but I've been using the DePiro just fine for my P4 clerkships and plan to use Kradjan's as a doorstop. (I'm not really a kid)

I am dreaming of maple syrup.......2007-10-08
I just finished a 30 plus day cleanse. All I had was a brew of maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and water. The hardest part of the cleanse was not hunger. What I found hardest was the monotony of the above mentioned beverage. For the first 10 days it tasted fine. For the next 10 days it tasted less fine. For the 10 days after that it tasted horrible.
Why did I do the cleanse in the first place? I have bladder cancer. And as anybody knows who has cancer, there is no shortage of suggestions about how to cure cancer. Suggestions come from friends, family members, casual acquaintances, and even total strangers who overhear conversations. The suggestions range from the helpfully obvious, such as, "You should probably not make Doritos the mainstay of your diet," to the near cruel, "If you loved yourself more, you would be cured."
Now, before I continue, I want anyone who has read this far to know that I posted this review in my blog also. One of the reasons I am writing reviews is because it was suggested as a good way to market my book, "Letters to My Friends: A No Guarantees Guide to Awakening." I want to make every keystroke, so to speak, count. One thing I have learned from cancer is to make each move count. There may be no tomorrow. Also, I believe in full disclosure.
Anyway, like many people with cancer, I tend not to talk about it because I get tired of the suggestions. But two friends of mine repeatedly suggested this cleanse. They are both advocates of alternative healing. And, even though I find myself excusing myself to run urgent errands whenever they talk about my eating habits, I love and respect them both.
What sold me on the cleanse was what one of my friends said. We were driving in the car in the mountains near her home, chatting about this and that. Suddenly the tone of her voice changed, and I knew I would hear something about a healthy lifestyle. "That cleanse we were talking about the other day, your body will begin to digest itself, and the theory is that the cancer cells will be digested, literally."
She had me. I am not a scientist. But that made sense. I had pretty much decided that Bill must die, Bill being the cancer. So, off I went on the cleanse, pretty much feeling like an old-west, quasi-Buddhist gunslinger. My body wasn't big enough for me and the cancer. One of us had to go. Either I would starve or the cancer would starve. By day 20, people were really beginning to be impressed. By day 30, I was being deified. But, honestly, it wasn't that hard. I'm sure that those fellows who climbed that little mountain felt the same way. Mt Everest, I think it was.
I had been aiming for 40 days, but I quit on day 33. And the reason I quit was because I found my 40-day goal becoming a little bit of an obsession. To quit, believe it or not, took much more will than to continue. As I said, I am a quasi-Buddhist, if there is such a thing, and I practice relinquishing strong attachments. I am, as a rule, much happier when I am not ruled by my attachments. And the cleanse was quickly becoming my master. I was no longer doing the cleanse; it was doing me.
You can find many variations of The Master Cleanse, usually for sale, on the internet. My own advice is to listen to your body. Do not get stubborn. On the other hand, the first three days really is the hardest; although, day 29 was hard too. The key is to drink plenty of lemonade, as it is called, because it will keep you from getting hungry. If you're worried about doing something so drastic, then see your doctor. But do not be surprised if your doctor looks at you as though you are a new age, hippie, weirdo when you mention The Master Cleanse. When I investigated this cleanse on the internet, I found only negative comments about it from the medical establishment.
But, as my mother used to say, "The proof is in the pudding." Is the cancer gone? I do not know. Nor, will I until my next exam. But I know I lost weight, a lot of weight. And I know I have more energy than I have had in a long, long time. I feel great. I'm planning on doing it again soon. But first I need to implement a healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and Doritos. And for some reason I want some pudding. Maybe chocolate pudding. Or maybe custard. How about rice pudding?
Blessings,
John C. Conley

Great health book.......2007-10-01
I felt great putting this into practice but I was still hungry. However, I did notice I had a lot more energy. The lemonade tastes awesome.
The Master Cleanser.......2007-09-11
The Master Cleanser Diet information is an excellent source for promotion of good health and feeling good. I highly recommend this boook to everyone.The diet is simple and easy to follow.
Great results.......2007-09-10
I've been on this program for over a week now and feel great! Not to mention that I've lost a lot of weight, althoug that could only be temporary... My skin seems to be smoother and I have the great feeling of being light and well. I must say that it can be difficult to stay on the program and it requires a lot of will power.
I do like the taste of cayenne pepper in my drinks. It makes them more pleasant to swallow ... If you know someone with a serious disease or addiction make them try this program -- it should bring good results. You will be surprised! Another really GREAT book with all kind of internal cleansing methods is "Can We Live 150 Years?". In fact these two books should be sold in one package.
Why is it taboo to criticize this book?.......2007-09-10
I've run into a number of people spurred by the promise of quick weight loss or the belief that they're infested with "toxins" to try this radical "diet." What's astonishing to me is how disinclined people have been so far to question how this motley array of kitchen detritus -- water, lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper -- came to assemble itself, or how this perplexing combination of ingredients is specifically supposed to flush out these supposed "toxins."
Reading the book, my first reaction was to wonder how such a text has gotten as far as it has. It only makes sense when I consider my anecdotal experience that it's really the recipe that has travelled far and wide, while the rambling explanation behind it has, to its benefit, remained rather obscure. The author of this terse manifesto of folk medicine wastes no time in proclaiming that his peculiar lemonade (it may have more aptly been Kool-Aid) will cure any disease. He further proclaims, without evidence, that all germs are "our friends," that fungi help us rid our bodies of "toxins," and that asking for the blessing of a meal will raise its "vibrations." Other claims are very easily checked, and should smell fishy even to the casual observer: that lemons and maple syrup provide all the nutrition you need is but one example.
Practitioners of this "diet" flutter with amazement at the results, vindicated that their weight loss that has confirmed the validity of the science behind it: as if there is somehow a correct way to starve yourself.

A Guide to Survivorship for Women with Ovarian Cancer (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)
ASIN: 1550090968 |
Product Description
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies in the Western world. While substantial progress has been made, and more and more patients are living longer with the disease, the majority of patients with advanced ovarian cancer are not cured. Ovarian Cancer, a volume in the American Cancer Society Atlas of Clinical Oncology series, thoroughly discusses pathology, biology, epidemiology, genetics and screening. Specific chapters examine diagnosis and staging, surgical cytoreduction, and primary chemotherapy regimens. Renowned contributors lend their expertise to chapters on radiation therapy, early stage management, palliative surgery, and developmental and high-dose chemotherapy. Germ cell tumors and ovarian sex cord-stroma tumors are also examined. In addition, the text outlines the major progress made in the understanding of the biology of ovarian cancer and the molecular genetics of the disease.
Book Description
Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About." Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.
From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered "food products" - produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration - government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good - laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs - which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high - are actually the
cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.
And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and - most importantly - potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.
So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored "nutrition" and "health," and learn about "Natural Cures 'THEY' Don't Want You To Know About."
Customer Reviews:
a new perspective.......2007-10-09
I personally found this book to be very helpful. It outlines some basic health rules that we need to keep in mind, which we sometimes overlook. It also is a really eye opener to the current realities of life. The bad thing about this book is its a bit too repetitive and it does not give you specifics about the cures,which should of been discussed more in detail,but i give it 4 stars since it has really good facts & overall i liked it.
...I have a bridge to sell you..........2007-10-03
Way too much marketing and hype with this book when there are good legitimate books by actual biologist that are very down to earth and simple to read for a proactive reader....as Cure the Incurable by Mikhail Tomak
Worth the Money.......2007-09-29
This book is very enligthening. Yes, people do live longer today but at what cost. Degenerative diseases are at an all time high. All drugs have side effects and they don't "cure" anything. If they cured ailments why do we have to keep taking them? All drugs do is supress the symptoms and never get to the root cause of the problem. All traditional doctors do is write prescriptions and cut out body parts. A lot of Kevin's ideas can be found in other sources. There is a lot of truth to what he is saying. It is all about the money. If everyone was healthy and used natural remedies the healthcare industry would suffer greatly. Read the food labels and tell me if you know what half that crap is. Why does food need all the additives and preservaties? It doesn't - it's put in there because it's cheaper and makes the food taste good. I have been buying organic food and using natural body products. It does make a difference. It may cost more but can you really put a price on your health. I know people who go broke trying to buy all their prescriptions each month. It's common sense the more natural the better for your body. I will visit my doctor if I feel I need to but I will definitely implement as many of Kevin's ideas that I find pratical and can afford. I can't do everything in his book but I can do some of the things. The book is worth the money so please read it. People are so judgemental. So what if he is a convicted felon? He tells you this in his book. He was greedy which puts him in a better position to recognize greed. $9.95 a month to subscribe to his website is not a whole lot of money per month if you feel it's worth it. We all spend money on things that we feel are important to us. Another consumer advocate that I like is Mike Adams (The Health Ranger). You can subscribe to his newsletter for free at www.newstarget.com. He has free downloads but there is a cost for some of his books. It's not free to publish a book. Take care and good health.
Can I Have My Money Back?.......2007-09-23
By far, the worst waste of money I have made. Most of these "natural cures" anyone with any common sense already knows. I regret contributing to this scam.
Some fantastic advice.......2007-09-22
I approached the best selling "Natural Cures 'they' don't want you to know about" with a healthy dose of scepticism. After all, should we really take advice on healthy eating from a convicted fraudster? But I've concluded that Kevin Trudeau is the ideal person to write about the total scam that is the pharmaceutical industry and its packaged food counterpart.
"Natural Cures......" is basically a tirade against the culture of drugs and packaged foods that have taken over the modern world. Trudeau explains how this culture of drugs and snack foods (and some other products) is undoubtedly responsible for making us sick in many ways. He goes on to offer ways to reduce toxins in the body and cure or prevent many diseases.
A lot of what Trudeau teaches us is nothing new for most of us (snack foods have numerous chemicals, GM food loses much of its nutrition, etc.) but he goes to great lengths to make us realise just how serious the problem has become, just how extensive the lobbying and coercion of politicians can be and just how misleading drug or food advertising has become. So many lies and scams are exposed in this publication that there will be at least one revelation for everybody.
After making all this clear, Trudeau goes on to offer tips and ideas - many of them beautifully simple - on leading a healthier lifestyle to clear the body of toxins and "never get sick again".
A lot of the advice is superbly simple yet often something we would never think of (Buy organic fruits and make a fruit shake every day, don't buy any product with ingredients you can't pronounce, etc.) and very passionate. Trudeau clearly practises what he preaches and has very extensive knowledge of the industries he discusses.
It's true that some of the author's ideas make him his own worse enemy. Statements such as "Animals never get sick" and "Wearing a magnetic ring will help you eliminate chaos" simply invite his many critics to knock him. But there are so many articulate, practical and genuinely heartfelt arguments and suggestions in this book, I get the impression many critics have based their reviews on their dislike for the writer.
This book did what "Super Size Me" and "Fast Food Nation" failed to do. It made me realise the dangers of my diet (as the aforementioned works also did) but it also gave me the inspiration and impetus to actually make a positive change. I've done two juice fasts and a water fast since I got this book two months ago. I've taken up many of Trudeau's ideas and I feel far better for it.
Highly recommended, if only to see what the fuss over this NY Times bestseller is all about.
A few points to clear up:
1) This is NOT a scam. There is excellent, verifiable, common sense and easy to follow advice in this book. All the two line "It's a scam" reviews are clearly fakes from people who never read the book.
2) Trudeau DOES NOT recommend Scientology. He makes reference to one author involved in Scientology. That is all.
3) For all the 'smart Alec' people who say "Save money don't buy this book and just lives healthy". What is healthy? Many of us would think of drinking milk, eating @low fat@ foods and taking medicine when we are sick. That's the way we think , and Trudeau gives a balanced argument as to why this is wrong.
Book Description
The second edition of the Pharmacotherapy Handbook provides readers with a portable, readable guide that is integral to any clinical setting. Bold-face type highlights drug names when they first appear and in all closing information. The book's bulleted format helps readers find the information they need immediately. This updated book was designed as a companion text for the fourth edition Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, by DiPiro et al.
Customer Reviews:
pharmacotherapy handbook.......2007-03-08
gives a detail summary of the book... a must have for all pharmacy students.
Like Cliffnotes for DiPiro.......2007-01-10
I have used the Pharmacotherapy Handbook as a substitute for the large 3,000+ page DiPiro textbook required for my College of Pharmacy. Now I am able to read the required readings in a few hours, rather than a few days, and I still feel that I am getting the same core information. The best analogy I could think of, is that it is like CliffNotes for the DiPiro Textbook. Good book.
Physician assistant student.......2006-06-25
This is a great book. I love how it isn't just about the drugs, but gives background on the diagnosis that you are treating. I think it is layed out well, and find it very useful. I notice a lot of pharm students are reviewing this but I think it is good for practitioner's as well. However, don't think this will fit in your labcoat pocket, it could but it is sorta heavy.
Outstanding.......2006-04-11
I used this as a study guide for my PTCE. If you do so begin studying at least 5 months earlier than planned to truely understand and absorb what you will learn here in addition to your other study guides.
The Bible of Pharmacy.......2006-04-11
This book has all what is needed to do well on the Pharmacist licensure examinations. Gives complete details of drug therapy, clinical findings and much more. You cannot go wrong ever with this book. I was very happy with my purchase.
Book Description
Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.
Customer Reviews:
The China Study.......2007-10-07
Great book. Have read a few pages and am very interested. Seems like it's going to be a book that many people should read. It was recommended to me by someone in my Sunday School class.
The China Study.......2007-10-05
This is one of the best books on nutrition for the professional and the lay persons.
This book says it all, once and for all.......2007-10-04
I'll keep this short and sweet: stop eating animal food, because animal protein and animal fat in dietary amounts will activate the carcinogens already in your body to produce cancer. Period. Man was *never meant* to consume animal food in the amounts he does, to say nothing about the drugs, antibiotics, hormones and the rest of the crap that the animal food industry laces it with. The sooner you eliminate meat, fish, fowl and dairy from your diet, the better off you and yours will be.
china study - review.......2007-10-04
Read this book - it could save your life. Probably the most important, definitive book on diet and health ever written. It was easy to read, hard to put down. One of our country's senior researchers tells the compelling story of his suprising discoveries and what that means for all of us. Thankyou Dr. Campbell - you've given me and my family a priceless gift.
Needs to be on every book shelf.......2007-09-29
This is the study so many health books reference, and it simply can't be ignored. Dr.Sanjay Gupta mentions it in his book, and there are a host of other ones, mainly about HEALTH not weight, that state that this is an extremely important and pertinent study. So many doctors agreeing on one study tells me to take note, and after reading it, I must say it has changed my thinking on diet and nutrition and health in general.
Dr. Campbell concludes that the most healthy diet is a vegan one by the end of the book. However, that is not to say that even reducing the meat you eat, along with other animal products won't garner significant health benefits. In the last year I have made two diet changes, and this was one of them. I reduced the amount of animal product in my diet, and though I have not completely cut them out, I have seen significant health benefits. My autoimmune symptoms that I have had for years are gone, and I am off of all lupus medication. This is not a scientific study, this is purely anecdotal, but it means a lot to me, and I will continue to pursue reducing animal products in my diet until, perhaps, I am meat/dairy, etc... free. It seems to me that if we are in the grip of any disease, the least we can do is take note of Dr. Campbell's massive study and try changing our diet. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. And, if we are healthy, we might want to do what we can to stay that way.

Kevin Trudeau Natural Cures Book review.......2007-09-16
I actually had purchased this book for my husband, thinking he would like it. I opened it up, and could not put it down. Since that time I ordered all of his books reading them with new awareness. This book was incredible, and I believe it to be true. We have completely changed our lifestyles since my husband and I read this book. My daughter was cured from "acid reflux" in 3 days. My son's excema is gone in less than 3 weeks from only eating organic food. This book was not only a great read, it has changed our lives.
Do your homework b4 you buy.......2007-09-15
I was going to by this book through the info commercials that he has as it advertised free shipping. So I called the number.
As usual, with the free shipping they had add ons for additional books, which is understandable
But, when I told her all I wanted was the book and the free shipping, she told me that it would take 4 to 6 weeks to receive my book unless I paid extra for the express delivery fee. I explained to her that, in this time and age to receive something after 4-6 weeks have gone by is just a rip off and I cancelled the order
After doing a bit of homework after that situation I saw a recommendation for Mikhail Tombak books and I bought them and they are great reading for someone that is proactive in their health care......and he is an actual biologist
Great Information!.......2007-09-11
I've been reading and learning about natural health and nutrition for years and I agree with everything that Kevin Trudeau talks about in his books because it is analogous to everything I've already learned in the past. This isn't new information but it's like a complete compilation of all the other books that I own and more. Trudeau suggests reading his first Natural Cures book before reading this one and I agree because his first book is like an introduction to his second book. Even though the first few chapters about the government, FDA, FTC, etc. can be tedious, I believe it is a crucial part of the book because it shows how much corruption is out there in government agencies and big corporations. They aren't concerned about the health of this nation, they are just there to make money. If you don't believe that, look around... the evidence is everywhere. Some people who gave this book bad reviews look as if they've never even read the book. The saying is true, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
PS: If you think his list of suggestions on how to never get sick (chapter 13) is impossible to follow, just do what you can do and gradually add other items into your list of good health habits. You'll be glad you did!
great but not affordable.......2007-09-06
My husband bought me this book cause he's into all that natural healing stuff, and the book is good, but most of the products he recommended to buy (in the back of the book), I would never be able to afford!!! The simple things like apple cider vinegar for acid reflux/weight loss and staying away from food with preservatives was very helpful, but why promote products that most people can't afford?! And I wish their natural cures site gave info for free!!!
Book Description
The third edition of this best selling reference maintains its goal of helping the practitioner evaluate a patient's complaint in the contest of a chiropractor's scope of practice
Book Description
The project that captured a nation's imagination.
The instructions were simple, but the results were extraordinary.
"You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative."
It all began with an idea Frank Warren had for a community art project. He began handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places -- asking people to write down a secret they had never told anyone and mail it to him, anonymously.
The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards reveal our deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank calls them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional.
As Frank began posting the cards on his website, PostSecret took on a life of its own, becoming much more than a simple art project. It has grown into a global phenomenon, exposing our individual aspirations, fantasies, and frailties -- our common humanity.
Every day dozens of postcards still make their way to Frank, with postmarks from around the world, touching on every aspect of human experience. This extraordinary collection brings together the most powerful, personal, and beautifully intimate secrets Frank Warren has received -- and brilliantly illuminates that human emotions can be unique and universal at the same time.

Totally engrossing.......2007-09-26
I bought this as a gift for my twenty-something brother. I started to glance through it a little before wrapping it, and ended up sitting with my nose in it for an hour. Really cool coffee-table book.
Great!.......2007-09-07
An amazing book! Read it page for page and it's so hard to put down, great buy.
Secrets shared are a wonderful thing........2007-09-05
Big time fan fot he website and love this collection of books. The honesty makes me laugh, cry and feel totally connected to others. A birlliant project.
Amazing.......2007-08-24
This book absolutely amazing and unique. Sure there are 3 books so far from him, all with the same postcard concept, but each book is direct and revealing. I found myself looking into my life and relationships and thinking that the post cards are saying and showing exactly what I felt/remember feeling. The pages are beautiful and colorful along with the words and writing that somehow display exactly what the writer was feeling. Even if you only read a few pages every once in a while, it will ground and humble you, pick you up, and make you want to be a better person. Truly amazing.
Amazing book, amazing video trailer to go along with it.......2007-08-16
I have been a fan of the Postsecret phenomenon since the first book came out. They are moving, and make one feel that you are not alone. Everyone has baggage. quirks. Human beings have alot going on. You must see the Book Trailer just posted on Youtube, it is inspirational, a work of art and makes you want to buy the books! Go to Youtube and search for Postsecret, and watch!! Its extraordinary!

An indispensable new appendix offers a concise guide to weaving cultural information into assessment and intervention planning.

Ethnicities and Culture.......2007-03-27
This book was suggested to me by one of my professor's who happens to teach a family counseling course. She suggested that we buy this book to use in our future practices. Since I have purchased the book, I have already referred to it twice. It is highly detailed and knowledgable. I was able to use if for a presentation and for a resource on a college exit exam. I highly recommend this book to those who seek further knowledge and information on various cultures. It reviews all nationalities and cultures that exist in today's society.
Ethnicity and Family Therapy, Third Edition.......2007-01-09
This is an extremely valuable and important resource for clinicians. It provides cultural overviews that can be used in clinical work and teaching. It is a wonderful desktop resource that can facilitate the essential process of cultural consideration in clinical work with families. Monica McGoldrick's writing is clear and enjoyable.
Excellent read.......2007-01-09
OK, this book wouldn't seem especially fun to read, and I'll admit that a counselor friend had to recommend it to me, but I find it simply fascinating. As I read through the chapters about my family's heritage, I really found it compelling that many of the the behaviors and values that I take for granted are not simply from my family, but are in large measure common to my ethnicity. Then, as I read about the heritage of my fiancee's family, it really put things into perspective for me. Behaviors that I might have found rude or offensive in my cultural framework have a perfectly natural, and honorable, root in thiers. If understanding is the key to acceptance, this book really helped me understand and communicate much better, and begin to accept and live within different cultures. This book gives an excellent framework to explain how different ethnicitys come to value different things. Highly recommended.
A great way to expand cultural knowledge.......2006-11-10
This is a wonderful and easy to read book that attempts to educate the reader about the culture and divesity of various ethnic groups. The book is divided into racial categories, which are subdivided into specific countries to give the reader a flavor of the diversity within these groups. Anyone who works with ethnic minorities should read this book to get a general sense of how cultural similarities and differences within racial and cultural categories impact family dynamics, the theraputic experience, and adjustment into the American culture.

This is a great book for finding out how to bring people of differing race to an understanding. For instance, I remember one example where White students, approximately between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, were, as part of a therapeutic course, required to refer to all Black people in their environment as 'sir'.This simple sign of respect was a great way to dismantle racism.
