I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom your professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.  

For the first time in history, the average age for an American woman having her first child, 26, is younger than the average age of her first marriage, 27. More children than ever are growing up in fatherless homes, despite the overwhelming evidence that in every measurable way this is bad for the child. The Center for Disease Control also recently reported a dramatic rise in sexually transmitted disease nationwide. In Rhode Island alone, since the onset of online dating, reported cases of Syphilis has risen 79%, and HIV has increased by 33%.

We live in a world awash in manmade chemicals, from the pesticides on our front lawns to the diesel exhaust in the air we breathe. Although experts are beginning to understand the potential dangers of these substances, there are still more than 80,000 synthetic compounds that have not been sufficiently tested to interpret their effects on human health.

This pathbreaking book explores how life can begin, taking us from cosmic clouds of stardust, to volcanoes on Earth, to the modern chemistry laboratory. Seeking to understand life's connection to the stars, David Deamer introduces astrobiology, a new scientific discipline that studies the origin and evolution of life on Earth and relates it to the birth and death of stars, planet formation, interfaces between minerals, water, and atmosphere, and the physics and chemistry of carbon compounds.

It may be the most interesting and yet loneliest spot on Earth: a volcanic rock surrounded by a million square miles of ocean, named for the day Dutch explorers discovered it, Easter Sunday, April 5, 1722. Here, people created a complex society, sophisticated astronomy, exquisite wood sculpture, monumental stone architecture, roads, and a puzzling ideographic script. And then they went about sculpting amazing, giant human figures in stone.

David A. Grandy's book moves from the scientific to the existential, from Einstein to Merleau-Ponty, from light as a phenomenon to light as that which is constitutive of reality. To measure the speed of light is to measure something about the way we are measured or blended into the cosmos, and that universal blending predetermines our measurement of light speed in favor of a universal or constant value.

Climate change is today's news, but it isn't a new phenomenon. Centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling are well documented for Europe and the North Atlantic. These variations in climate, including the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), AD 900 to 1300, and the early centuries of the Little Ice Age (LIA), AD 1300 to 1600, had a substantial impact on the cultural history of Europe.

It was a gang of cold-blooded killers who massacred the cavalry patrol and stole the Gatling guns. It would take a hard man to retrieve them. After Laramie is freed from the Mexican jail he'd been locked in for the previous two months, he heads north for Canada and into the realm of a crazed killer who wants to carve out his own kingdom in the pristine wilderness. Massacres are followed by murder, until it comes to a head in the Moose River Valley.

The gunrunners started a blazing fire in West Texas and Laramie Davis was hired to extinguish the flames. The Winchesters they supplied to the Apaches would ignite a full scale Indian war if they weren't stopped. The trail took Laramie from Fort Smith to a town called Hades. And from there it turned into a quest for revenge that even Laramie might not survive.

Laramie Davis was on the trail of killers who'd murdered his young partner and stole the horses they'd gathered. It also led to the town of Skeleton Ridge where the prime suspect is the son of a local rancher. However, what the gunfighter rides into is more trouble than even the "Legend" can handle and he's forced to send for help. The guns are soon gathered for an all-out shooting war which will make the surrounding ridges tremble with the sound of thundering guns. Men, good and bad will die, all violently.
