A must read text for those that go up, and up, and up...
Sir Edmund Hillary, states in the forward that "I was 33 years old when I climbed Mt. Everest in 1953... but as years passed, I became increasingly affected by altitude".He goes on to say, "It is still extremely difficult to know who is likely to be struck down by acute mountain sickness.It can happen equally to the young or elderly, to the fit or not so fit."

Still Current and Relevant for Forensic Psychology
This edited volume continues to be a classic in the field of assessing and testifying in court on the subject of post-traumatic stress disorder.As an expert witness in these types of litigation for both the prosecution and defense, I find the rigor of the assessment chapter by Dr. Terence Keane aswell as the overarching strategic review chapter by Dr. Robert Simonhimself, to be consistently relevant to my practice.Don't be deterred bythe book's diagnostic datedness (DSM-IIIR versus DSM-IV)--it's a"must-have" for everyone interested in fair and ethicallitigation related to psychological trauma. ...

Are new drugs safe?
Every year the pharmaceutical industry produces new medicines - but are they safe? One of the best ways a consumer can find out more about how such new drugs are tested and presented is by reading THE NEW MEDICINES: HOW DRUGS ARE CREATED, APPROVED, MARKETED AND SOLD, by biomedical researcher and teacher Bernice Schacter. Chapters provide historical and business background around major new drugs which have been controversial news topics, analyze the FDA's processes, and survey new marketing techniques aimed at consumers rather than physicians. From product launches to unknown factors in drug interactions, THE NEW MEDICINES provides an excellent historical overview.

A Much Needed Work
I am retired from the practice of family medicine, and witnessed the remakabe anguish and hardship that unplanned pregnancy constituted for so many women of all ages and stations. Dr. Reagan's work is a much needed one that provides an accurate and scholarly review of the history of abortion in the United States and the ways in which they were obtained before Roe vs. Wade. In an era when the greater majority of the population is too young to remember the bad old days when abortions were illegal, this is particularly important. Further, while some charge that opponents of a women's right to choose are deluded and ignorant religious fanatics, I do not believe this is necessarily true. Given accurate information such as that provided by "When Abortion Was A Crime," most people can and will make reasoned choices. I found this to be particulaly true when a daughter or wife or other family member is involved.
reading the religious
Anytime anyone stands up and writes logically about abortion, the people who want to change the laws based on their religious beliefs startslandering both the facts and the character of the writers.

Legal Guide for Women
I have not read this book from cover to cover, but almost! I read it in a hodge podge of this chapter and that chapter, that page and this page. No matter which direction I went, the book was very easy to read and to understand. It is written in regular everyday language. It is a great book. I really enjoy it and have found out a few interesting things as well. The book will be one that women will want to keep handy.
