Provides precisely what it advertises: lists

Don’t expect much more; if you are looking for something with detailed clinical or scientific information on small animal medicine you should seek out a book on internal medicine. However, if you are simply looking for lists of differentials with respect to laboratory and physical exam findings this is an absolute gem. I have the kindle version, and it is extremely user friendly and easy to navigate. There have only been a handful of times that the book was no able to provide me with a list that I needed. I am finishing up my third year of veterinary school and I firmly believe this will be a go-to volume for me during my clinical rotations. While this should not be solely relied upon for information, it’s a great start to begin ruling things in and out.

So helpful for blood work changes and physical exam findings to help you explore possible differentials. Quick and easy to flip through.

My granddaughter is 5 months from graduating from OSU’s vet school. She was thrilled to get this book for Christmas. I was thrilled to for having it available. If you think you are going to need this book, please order it now because some of them are on backorder. I just know it is going to help her a lot as she starts the real vet work in May.

Excellent and reader friendly text on intervention design. The chapters are succinct and clearly written the examples are also quite helpful. Excellent read.

I got my hands on this book only two weeks before I submitted my PhD. I wish I had found it earlier! Nice and clear, easy to understand, easy to find stuff in the index. It even had a bit about why theory should be included in intervention research. Everyone at my work (University) is now borrowing it, and the library has ordered some copies.

I would recommend this book to others. i rated the book with this high rating because it was in good condition.

Allison Pataki has written another gem in “The Accidental Empress”. Her first novel, “A Traitor’s Wife” was greeted with accolades for a new and refreshing writer of historical fiction. Ms. Pataki clearly does not take her foot of the gas or hit the Sophomore Jinx. This book was a pure joy to read.

Pataki takes the reader across the Atlantic from her first novel, which takes place in Revolutionary America. The Accidental Empress takes place in 19th Century Europe and again is written through the mind of a young and wonderfully rich and complex female character, Sisi, who marries the very desirable Emperor Franz Joseph. Reading historical fiction through young women is a refreshing way to see history unfold and is also a terrific way to tell a story with more intrigue than one might imagine in a novel that is a very manageable and fun read.
Pataki’s writing even seemed to improve in her second novel. Her ability to place the reader into Sisi’s world 19th Century Europe was even better than her first effort with Peggy Shippen, Benedict Arnold’s wife in 18th Century America. And few would argue with her first effort. It is pleasant (and rare) to see a writer progress after a successful debut rather than just rush out something to sell off of a previous success.

Allison Pataki is establishing herself as a terrific, and now consistent, author and writer of historical fiction. This book was an absolute pleasure to read. I find myself already waiting to hear what her next idea is. Get a copy and enjoy!!

I could not have been happier hunkered down during a blizzard due to my fascination with The Accidental Empress. Allison Pataki had me at a good old fashioned love triangle, 1800’s couture and a tyrannical mother-in-law. This book brings the reader in, immersing them in the time period and Empress Sisi’s life. I found myself transfixed with Sisi: wishing for her happy ending while judging her harshly. This inner conflict made me think about the book, even when I was not reading. It was spellbinding.

Pataki’s use of language is simply beautiful, weaving in quotes from Shakespeare and Goethe, bringing depth to the already enchanting book. Historical fiction can sometimes read like a newspaper or a textbook, but The Accidental Empress and The Traitor’s Wife are fascinating stories built within the structure of history.

I can only hope that Allison Pataki finds more historical figures with fascinating stories to add to her repertoire of books.

A truly wonderful read! As Allison Pataki proved with her debut novel, The Traitor’s Wife, she is truly a gifted writer of historical fiction, and has firmly become one of the greats in my mind, right up there on my list of Favorite authors with the like of Kate Morton and Michelle Moran.

The historical details present throughout The Accidental Empress engross the reader from the first page and bring the world of the 19th-century Habsburg Court – a world about which I knew virtually nothing – to life. Characters are fully drawn out and clearly well-researched (since only one is entirely fictional). Their actions and interactions are believable, if not always likeable and kept me turning pages well past my bedtime. Sisi is plucky and spirited, yet often insecure and unable to assert her will over her domineering mother-in-law, which at times truly broke my heart seeing her wither and suffer so. But I never stopped rooting for her and when she finally does land a few triumphs I wanted to stand up and cheer.

One of the other aspects I appreciate about Pataki’s writing, both in this book and her previous one, is the delicate way in which she handles loves scenes. Naturally with a royal 19th-century setting, one expects conceiving an heir to be a large theme throughout, but often when I read historical novels of this nature, I often find very vivid descriptions of sex which I don’t feel advance the plot at all. But here Pataki handles the matter beautifully and with tact, so reader s are able to still feel connected to Sisi’s most inner emotions, but not like they suddenly stepped from the court and into Fifty Shades of Grey. I really can’t say how much I appreciated that this book was clean.

Can’t wait for the sequel!

We Have Always Lived in the Castle Audio CD – Audiobook, Unabridged Free PDF


We Have Always Lived in the Castle Audio CD – Audiobook, Unabridged
Author: Visit ‘s Shirley Jackson Page ID: 1441734287

.com Review

Visitors call seldom at Blackwood House. Taking tea at the scene of a multiple poisoning, with a suspected murderess as one’s host, is a perilous business. For a start, the talk tends to turn to arsenic. “It happened in this very room, and we still have our dinner in here every night,” explains Uncle Julian, continually rehearsing the details of the fatal family meal. “My sister made these this morning,” says Merricat, politely proffering a plate of rum cakes, fresh from the poisoner’s kitchen. We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Shirley Jackson’s 1962 novel, is full of a macabre and sinister humor, and Merricat herself, its amiable narrator, is one of the great unhinged heroines of literature. “What place would be better for us than this?” she asks, of the neat, secluded realm she shares with her uncle and with her beloved older sister, Constance. “Who wants us, outside? The world is full of terrible people.” Merricat has developed an idiosyncratic system of rules and protective magic, burying talismanic objects beneath the family estate, nailing them to trees, ritually revisiting them. She has made “a powerful taut web which never loosened, but held fast to guard us” against the distrust and hostility of neighboring villagers.

Or so she believes. But at last the magic fails. A stranger arrives–cousin Charles, with his eye on the Blackwood fortune. He disturbs the sisters’ careful habits, installing himself at the head of the family table, unearthing Merricat’s treasures, talking privately to Constance about “normal lives” and “boy friends.” Unable to drive him away by either polite or occult means, Merricat adopts more desperate methods. The result is crisis and tragedy, the revelation of a terrible secret, the convergence of the villagers upon the house, and a spectacular unleashing of collective spite.

The sisters are propelled further into seclusion and solipsism, abandoning “time and the orderly pattern of our old days” in favor of an ever-narrowing circuit of ritual and shadow. They have themselves become talismans, to be alternately demonized and propitiated, darkly, with gifts. Jackson’s novel emerges less as a study in eccentricity and more–like some of her other fictions–as a powerful critique of the anxious, ruthless processes involved in the maintenance of normality itself. “Poor strangers,” says Merricat contentedly at last, studying trespassers from the darkness behind the barricaded Blackwood windows. “They have so much to be afraid of.” –Sarah Waters –This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Since the mysterious death of four family members, the superstitious Mary Katherine “Merricat” Blackwood, her ailing uncle Julian, and agoraphobic sister Constance have lived in a bizarre but contented state of isolation. But when cousin Charles arrives in search of the Blackwood fortune, a terrible family secret is revealed. Bernadette Dunne’s reading is flawlessly paced and suspenseful. The voices she provides the cast of characters are spot on: precocious Merricat is haunted and increIDgly desperate; Constance is doting but detached; Uncle Julian is both pleasantly dotty and utterly unnerving; and Charles is the conniving villain listeners will love to hate. A treat for fans of mystery and suspense.

I am a big fan of Shirley Jackson. I first became interested in her after stumbling across a collection of her short stories, and since then, I have been hooked. We Have Always Lived in the Castle is my favorite Shirley Jackson novel. The Haunting of Hill House has generated much more speculation and interest world-wide than did We Have Always Lived in the Castle, but in my opinion, there is much more to be said for this book. There is much more to this novel than it seems when you first start reading it. Many things throughout the book will appeal to you, and simultaneously tear your heart in two, like the villager’s hatred of Merricat (the narrator and main character) and their horrible, shameful treatment of her.
This is a complex novel. It is not for everyone. It is a difficult read, because if you aren’t into the book, then you won’t understand what’s going on. It reminds me of J.D. Salinger’s. His books, especially if you’ve read his short stories, are to be puzzled over, yet never completely understood.
The story is about Merricat and Constance, two sisters who live isolated on the edge of town at Blackwood Manor. They seldom venture out of their home, and when they do are subjected to abuse at the hands of the villagers, who particularly enjoy throwing rocks at Merricat and calling her names. Readers come onto the scene of the story years after a poisoning during supper at Blackwood Manor, which killed most of the family. For years Merricat, their uncle, and Merricat’s older sister Constance have lived in solitude until Charles, a distant cousin, comes calling. He plays upon Constance’s desire for a normal life, telling her how unnatural her life is at Blackwood Manor, while at the same time displaying to the reader a strong interest in the family fortune.
I think I am just about the only person out there who had not read Shirley Jackson’s, We Have Always Lived in a Castle. Well, now I have, and this 146 page book left me feeling a bit unsettled. Creepy, atmospheric and beyond clever, this is one book that will leave some of you scratching your head when you get to the end.
In brief, Merrikat, as she prefers to be called, begins narrating this story in this way:

"My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, and I have had to be content with what I had. I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Plantagenet, and Amanita phallaides, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead."

From the opening paragraph, I thought something is very strange about Merricat. She is eighteen and acts like a child. She is extremely superstitious, believing in signs and burying items in the ground to secure the property. She is also very protective of her sister. She lives with her sister and Uncle Julius, who on the surface appears to have some sort of dementia. The three of them live in a secluded mansion, and never leave the house, except for Merricat who ventures into town for necessities about twice a week. It is clear that the townspeople fear and dislike the remaining family members. The Blackwoods avoid the neighbors, preferring the security of seclusion. They even avoid the few who are friendly.

I was very impressed with the 3rd edition of this book back when I was in graduate student, and the 4th edition seems to have kept up the high standards. I highly recommend this book for anyone approaching advanced studies in any behavioral or neuroscientific field.
This textbook covers human neuropsychology from a more scientific, as opposed to clinical, viewpoint than many other graduate-level textbooks. Perhaps this is due to the authors’ own research experiences, which have been conducted primarily with animal models. Personally, I think that this is a great strength, since the authors very effectively tie together the findings from human and animal work, and fill in the gaps which would remain speculative if one had to rely solely upon research with human subjects and clinical cases.
What this means is that there is very limited discussion of assessment and diagnosis, but a thorough review of the anatomical and neurochemical organization of the brain, and well as a thorough review of brain function broken down by behavioral domain (sensory, motor, language, memory, etc.) and by cortical region (frontal, temporal, parietal etc.).
Although published in 1996, this book still remains fundamentally state of the art, and a fine textbook in the field.

I used this text in its 4th edition in graduate school and I found it to be one of the clearest, concise, and best-illustrated textbooks on brain and behavior I’d ever read. The double column presentation of the text made reading and study a bit easier. Some of the motor and sensory pathway figures in the 4th edition were excellent–they were well detailed and presented in an appropriate amount of space on the page. However, this 5th edition is by far an inferior product. The text is now single column, and worst of all the once large, eye-catching, and detailed figures are too often shoved over into the margin–in many instances the 4th edition illustrations have been replaced by tiny dumbed-down figures. I cannot recommend this edition to students or instructors. A 5 for the text, a 1.5 for the presentation and illustrations.

This book is an excellent reference on neuropsychology. I am a graduate student in neuroscience and I was pleasantly surprised to note that this book was very thorough in its discussion of different topics. My research concerns aspects of activity in the temporal lobe and the authors have discussed some of the cutting edge literature.This book is definitely a cut above the normal neuroscience textbooks.

The authors have clearly taken the time to go through the literature and pick out interesting papers and placed them in a quick and readable manner. I would recommend this book to any student of systems neuroscience for a good introduction to the fascinating aspects of brain function. In fact I would go as far as saying that this book is an ideal companion to the now dated bible of neuroscience (Kandel, Schwartz and Jessel).

Dear Contracts Casebook Editors,
Please, please, for the sake of thousands of law students yet-to-be, hire someone to proofread this mess. I can barely get through a section without some goofy duplicate text, weird hyphenation, or misused word. Somebody on this team of editors seems to think he/she is clever, but many of the notes are confusing and random. Contracts is my least favorite subject, primarily because of this horrible book. There is no excuse for such sloppy editing. You can (and should) do better.

I wish I could give this book a half star. This book is entierly useless other than to be used as a source to read cases nothing more. I highly suggest you purchase a companion book to learn black letter law concepts such as E&E or Nutshell.

Badly written book.. Very hard to follow and many error, double prints of paragraphs and odd words used. Quite surprised such book can be used as a text book for a law school.. Sad thing is, I need to use it.

If you want to know what Islam actually teaches its adherents, you need to read this book, not the fluff that was printed up for a Western audience, like "Islam for Dummies". Do NOT turn to books that Muslims do not use to teach themselves. Read their own authoritative books to know what they teach themselves. This is a first-hand, original, authoritative source on Islamic law (sharia) and Islamic doctrine (ijma).

This book is the official English translation of the Umdat al-Salik, the only authoritative Sharia manual for the Shafi’i madhab. While there are four Sunni madhabs (legal schools and two Shia), they all agree on their ijma and sharia. Only their fiqh differs. An example of that difference:
A- Ijma is universal among all four Sunni madhabs (Shafi’i, Hanafi, Malaki, Hanbali), and therefore all agree that the zakat (alms payment) is obligatory on all Muslims and on the eight priorities that zakat collections must support. [ROTT book H, Zakat, esp. h8.7 – 8.18]
B- Sharia among the four madhabs also agrees that the top priority among those eight is the seventh: support for jihad. [ROTT h8.17] Sharia enforces that doctrine with penalties if it is not upheld. [ROTT, h1.1]
C- Shafite fiqh offers slight variations from the Hanafite, Malakite, or Hanbalite fiqh with respect to the payouts based on who is deemed to qualify as a jihadi, and who therefore may receive remuneration from zakat for their jihadi expenditures. [ROTT h8.17]

Unless you have a need for one specific fiqh manual over another, I recommend Reliance of the Traveller over its parallels in the other madhabs for the following reasons:
1- The Hanafi manual, Al-Risala is a 2-volume set, and therefore costs more.
I began translating Reliance of the Traveller in Jordan, out of personal need for a shari’a manual, to know and practice Islam in my own life. Making it available to others was an afterthought that came to me after I had set out to produce a work in which I could look up the questions that I needed to know without having to memorize it all. I had moved to Jordan in 1980, and lived near Amman in Suwaylih, with many students and teachers of the University of Jordan’s shari’a college. That first year, I heard a lot of well-meaning religious advice that one might have preferred to know rather than be told, a perhaps not unfamiliar feeling to many new Muslims. During this period I began to translate the meanings of the Qur’an using other English translations, and then read through the Muhammad Muhsin Khan’s interpretation of Sahih al-Bukhari, trying to record every Islamic ruling I could find in the hadith. In the end, I realized that there was a tremendous number of questions in my life that I did not have Islamic answers for.
At the end of summer 1981 I moved to Huwwara, a village in the north of Jordan, both to improve my spoken Arabic and to work on a master’s degree in educational psychology while teaching English at the University of Yarmouk, in nearby Irbid. The move to the north led to my meeting people who knew traditional Islamic ulama in Damascus, among them, Sheikh ‘Abd al-Wakil al-Durubi, who I made the acquaintance of in his bookshop off the courtyard of the Darwishiyya mosque, where he was imam.
In Sheikh ‘Abd al-Wakil, I felt I had found someone who really knew Islam, and he was the one who eventually inspired me to try to translate a fiqh manual.
