This software is good bu the 8.0 version is better, it has more explicit content, whereas in this version you have to look deeper to find, for instance, the account names, (they are not displayed after you type your account number) making it highly prone to make a mistake.

This is not a bad introduction to the Internet for doctors. The best part is the extensive bibliography. I found the chapter on medical informatics particulary interesting.

              Book Description

              The Internet has become a competitive arena for healthcare marketers. In this high-tech environment, innovations that improve access or heighten message delivery are in demand. Web casting is one such improvement in technique. It is fast becoming an essential component of Internet communication. Webcasting is the broadcasting of live audio and video programs via the Internet, to people sitting at their home or office computers. Because there are ways you can limit access to your webcasts and archives, you also have the option of "narrowcasting" them to highly targeted audiences of special relevance to your company and its products, such as physicians within particular specialties, or patients with specific diagnoses.

              This digital document is an article from Medical Marketing and Media, most recently published by CPS Communications on February 28, 2000. The length of the article is 3972 words. The page length shown above is based on a typical 300-word page. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Digital Locker immediately after purchase.

                      Amateur astronomers will enjoy Atlas of Venus, the most up-to-date book available on the geography and geology of Earth's non-identical twin planet. This colorful compendium of maps and pictures draws heavily from the Magellan spacecraft's radar imaging, some of it published here for the first time. As the authors point out, we have learned more about Venus in the last few decades--perhaps even in the last few years--than throughout the whole of human history. It's hardly the tropical paradise of 1950s science fiction, but a harsh world that may never witness human exploration due to the severity of its environment. In a way, its truly alien qualities make Venus all the more enticing.

                      Book Description

                      A combination of striking photos and lucid prose, this volume brings this mysterious planet to life. Well-known astronomers Peter Cattermole and Patrick Moore place Venus in the solar system and explain what information telescope observation has yielded. They then take us on a space-age trip to Venus exhibiting observations from orbiting space craft and probes, and, most significantly, the data-laden Magellan mission. An abundance of colorful illustrations showcase Venus' fascinating topography, including impact craters, highland massifs, and plains. The text is rounded out by a history of this intriguing planet and a gazetteer of Venusian place names. Several useful appendices of data complement the atlas. This book will delight amateur astonomers and will also serve as a helpful reference to professional astronomers and planetary scientists.

                              Book Description

                              This book, Volume 23 in the Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry series, presents organolithium chemistry from the perspective of a synthetic organic chemist, drawing from the synthetic literature to present a unified overview of how organolithiums can be used to make molecules. The development of methods for the regioselective synthesis of organolithiums has replaced their image of indiscriminate high reactivity with one of controllable and subtle selectivity. Organolithium chemistry has a central role in the selective construction of C-C bonds in both simple and complex molecules, and for example has arguably overtaken aromatic electrophilic substitution as the most powerful method for regioselective functionalisation of aromatic rings. The twin themes of reactivity and selectivity run through the book, which reviews the ways by which organolithiums may be formed and the ways in which they react. Topics include recent advances in directed metallatio

                                Book Description

                                Geoffrey Firmin, a former British consul, has come to Quauhnahuac, Mexico. Here the consul's debilitating malaise is drinking, and activity that has overshadowed his life. Under the Volcano is set during the most fateful day of the consul's life--the Day of the Dead, 1938. His wife, Yvonne, arrives in Quauhnahuac to rescue him and their failing marriage, inspired by a vision of life together away from Mexico and the circumstances that have driven their relationship to the brink of collapse. Yvonne's mission is to save the consul is further complicated by the presence of Hugh, the consul's half-brother, and Jacques, a childhood friend. The events of this one day unfold against a backdrop unforgettable for its evocation of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical.

                                Under the Volcano remains one of the most powerful and lyrical statements on the human condition and one man's constant struggle against the elemental forces that threaten to destroy him.

                                5 out of 5 stars A work of art, a hallucinatory journey through the soul..........2007-03-27

                                I like to tease my literary friends by saying "the film is always better than the novel", which sends them off into seizures. However, this is one instance that the book is vastly superior to the film, and it is undoubtedly one of the greatest books I have ever had the pleasure to read. Malcolm Lowry's prose style and mastery of the English language is beautiful to behold, and reading Under the Volcano fills you with wonder and awe. It's a masterful book, depicting the last day of an alcoholic (probably based on Lowry himself, who was a chronic alcoholic). The novel doesn't really have a narrative sense, but it has a hallucinatory, mystical quality that I adore. It reminds me a lot of an Alejandro Jodorowsky film, in that it's not straightforward at all, but it is a destination, and you will get there on Lowry's/Jodorowsky's path. As much as I like John Huston, I never cared for the film version, which I saw before reading the novel. If you want to see a great film about Lowry, a Canadian documentary called Volcano was made in the 1970's. It was released on VHS, but it is notoriously hard to find. It makes a great companion to this novel, as you understand the agony of Lowry's life, and the pain that he had to go through to produce one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. This is one of my favorite books, one you can read again and again and find something new in it. Lowry never really regained the heights of this novel again, and ended up leaving behind unfinished manuscripts that were edited by his wife, Margarite. Still, this is a true work of art, and we should be thankful that Lowry left this for us....

                                1 out of 5 stars Sorry, Mr. Lowry.......2007-02-24

                                In a little over a year, I've read more than 50 novels. Of those, there was only one which I found unbearable to read and which I put down. Now there are two. Ironically, the first one, "Lord Jim", is actually referenced in this book, a bad omen if there ever was such a thing.

                                I wanted to like this book. Judging from the previous reviews, this was a brilliant masterpiece with such depth and subtlety that Lowry was a genius to behold. That my be true, but I soon lost all interest and hope of getting anything meaningful from this book. Every time I sat down to read, I found my eyelids becoming heavier, as the stream of consciousness narrative succeeding in draining out my life force. I gave it a chance, as I read nearly half, but finally I felt a great burden lifted off my shoulders when I decided to give up. And for someone who reads for pleasure, I could hardly justify slogging through this until the bitter end while I could be reading much more enjoyable novels.

                                Now perhaps I am not as "sophisticated" or "intellectual" as others who adore this work, but I just didn't "get it." Perhaps looking through the eyes of a drunk isn't the best idea, for the non-sequitur narrative was hazy and confusing. The countless symbolism with the "pariah dog" and plants seemed to be repeated endlessly, but with no clear connection (as far as I'm concerned) to the main storyline. The story is literally drowning in a whiskey river, filled to the brim with minute details and obtuse symbolism.

                                This novel takes place in a day, but seems to drag on endlessly with no climax or turning point. If you're up for a challenge, then by all means go for it. Otherwise, save yourself from this tedious novel and give this one a pass.

                                5 out of 5 stars Eerily Depictive of Alcoholic Mind [11] [39] [T].......2007-02-12

                                In order to follow one party for one day, the reader of this book must intensely focus upon the vagaries attributable to a dipsomaniacal protagonist - the Consul.

                                Lowry's relatively autobiographical novel (at one time there is reference to leave Mexico far away where the protagonist will handwrite while his adoring wife types his manuscript), can confuse the reader on many levels. First, the Consul's inebriation by mescal contorts and warps perspectives and thoughts. Second, the liquor's effect has numbed his mind where at times he babbles and makes no sense - the worst being in the beginning when his wife returns and they calmly discourse although he makes no sense and his statements are actually frightening to the reader who is just being introduced to the Consul. Third, he phonetically spells many dialogues from Mexican speakers, so as to capture their pronunciation of English words. Fourth, he uses a great amount of Spanish words which loses those unfamiliar with the language for many interesting and untranslated portions of the book. And, lastly, the weaving of temporary with the past, through an intoxicated's mind, can be both perplexing and diabolically ingenious.

                                If that does not scare some readers, I pledge this truth to others: even though other readers assert this is easier to read than Joyce's comparable "Ulysses", know two things: "Ulysses" is about as difficult a read in the English language as there is; and this book is not easy as well.

                                But, it is worth reading. His ability to create hallucinatory sensation on paper is majestic. At certain times, I really felt I understood the mental anguish experienced by the d.t.'s as reflected by the Consul's perspective of events about him. Lowry's writing is both direct and embellished. The topic is much like Hemingway - English-speaking person residing amid Spanish-speaking people in the Spanish-speaking nation. His writing, however, reminds me more of John Fowles - "French Lieutenant's Woman" and "Magus."

                                This is a masterpiece of its own, and I greatfully appreciate having read this work of art. Just months ago I never heard of Lowry, now I intend on reading some of his other works.

                                5 out of 5 stars Lowry spells "fart" P-H-A-R-T..........2007-02-04

                                This book is a complete masterpiece. No question about it. However, if someone told me they'd tossed it after five pages, I'd understand totally. Not that there is an intellectual baseline for enjoying it; rather, it's a question of the style of book one enjoys. This book is an elegy, a tone poem, prose for the sake of prose. Where one word suffices, Lowry inserts two. Where one metaphor is appropriate, Lowry inserts three. The stylization and the facility with words are the genius of the book, not the plot. (A drunk guy drinks a lot, interacts with his ex-wife and half-brother, then is shot by a policeman.) You'll know quickly whether this is your cuppa. Even if it isn't (as it isn't mine), the slog through pays dividends.

                                5 out of 5 stars This is an exceedingly beautiful novel........2006-10-11

                                To focus on the picture and miss the brush strokes, I think, is to miss the point. To spend your whole life and all you could produce is one beautiful sentence, would that be enough? Or a whole novel of beautiful sentences? If this is all you had to recommend you, your entry into heaven would be guaranteed. Mr. Lowry probably finds heaven boring. I think the fact that there is not a real plot points to the fact the writing is what matters here. This is an exceedingly beautiful novel. I read some sentences over and over again in wonder. I read the sentences to my 8 and 10 year old who found them fascinating.
