Textbook for Pharmacy Technician Program.......2001-03-01

If you have never worked in a pharmacy before and want to pass the pharmacy technnician certification exam, then you need more than just a certification review book. You will also need a textbook that explains comprehensively pharmacy laws and the operating procedures of a typical pharmacy. Because it isn't a certification review, be aware that it doesn't have enough practice problems. Overall, it is an excellent textbook to use with a workbook.

WOULDN'T BE BAD IF THEY COULD GET IT RIGHT.......1999-09-17

The information presented is fairly easy to understand, interesting, and seems to be thorough. So what's the problem? I have to say, I would absolutely love the textbook and its corresponding workbook if it wasn't for one truely frustrating aspect - there are way too many errors. It's incredible! Here's an example - a question regarding roman numeral conversions (pg 38 wkbk)- what is 14 in roman numerals? well, anybody who's gone through grade school could tell you it's XIV - the answer key tells you it's CIV (104!!). How about this one (pg 85 txt) - convert 1mg to g: ok, i'm thinking - DUH - .001g - correct answer, according to the answer key is .011g -- Now, this is not quite a big deal when it's very easy to tell the book is wrong (yet, again) - but then, when you get into more difficult calculations and you can't trust the answer key, it becomes very frustrating. When you take into account the fact that you've spent over $60 for the text and workbook and you can't count on the information to be correct it becomes enraging. There are also a plethora of idiotic typos to furthur insult you for sending these people your money. Example (pg 108 txt) convert 120 mcg to mg - answer according to the key: 120 mcg = 0.12 mcg - that's 0.12 MCG not MG. Or, how about his - convert 50% to a decimal. Answer according to the key: 50/100. Now, the last time I checked that was something called a fraction - a decimal looked more like this: .50 - This isn't even the tip of the iceberg. I just have one question for Morton Publishing Co...Do you guys happen to employ anyone there called an EDITOR? I just hope to God you all don't have anything to do with the answer keys the PTCB is holding in their possession. If you do, I quit now.

Fall (Wesleyan Poetry)

ASIN: 1882295242

Book Description

Camera Lyrica navigates the intersection between realism and naturalism, locating moment by momentthe only way it canthe artful, necessary, and always mysterious transformation that occurs between the perceiver and perceived. Amy Newmans subjects range from Audubons drive for precision, Michelangelos unfinished Piet, Darwin and forty-year old Barbie, to a meditation on the diversity of Type itself. With grace and dexterity, her intelligent eye dips into Catholic Mysteries, and the quiet but momentous domesticity of a backyard quince tree. Hers is a language both lush and spare, as she filters it and the world through a lucid imagination, transforming both into something beautiful, challenging, and wholly new.

a unique and visionary book.......2002-11-04

If Charles Olson was an archaeologist of morning, then Amy Newman is an epistemologist of morning: she wants to know where the knowledge starts. She is Wallace Stevens's inheritor in the depth and precision of her investigations of the interrelation of mind and world, the imbrication of perception and conception. Her poem "Travel Diary" speaks of "An apprehension in the ascending lid,/deciding proportion, engraving./The eye knows plainly inside, outside." Much of her work hinges on the double sense of the word `apprehend', to grasp, which is both to take hold of a thing and to understand a thing. In Amy Newman's work we see (and sight is a vital sense in her work, both essential and fully alive) that to know something we must touch it, feel it in both senses of the word, and to touch something we must know it, know of it. All of her work "proposes/to engage the physical world" ("Realism"), and knows that such engagement is always propositional if not suppositional: it is contingent, an aspiration, a "desire for the real world" ("Flesh"). In this sense, apprehension is the anxiousness to get the world as right as one can. In the words of "A Note on the Type," Amy Newman's is "The calculus of symbol/and the move to the real."

For Amy Newman, ideas are always embodied: all her ideas are in things and all things are bright with idea. This embodiment is not only in the images but in the words of her poems, which have a body and substance felt on the tongue and in the ear: "I promise you something/you'd shape a sound on,/white as a page but full," and the promise is kept. Her poems are not simply comments on the world of things but additions to that world: as she writes in "Darwin's Unfinished Notes to Emma," "The world this morning is wide as this sea,/and full of potential." Amy Newman's poems realize some of that potential for us all.

Crush (Yale Series of Younger Poets)

Refusing Heaven

ASIN: 0819567094

Book Description

This new book by award-winning author Amy Newman explores as its formal structure the 72 definitions for the word "fall." These lovely, accessible poems span a narrative drama--from the creation of the world and the subsequent exile of its first inhabitants, through the downward movement of the human body in its surrender to illness and the world's gravitational pull, to the beauty in the descent of spent foliage in autumn.

Each definition of "fall" engenders its own poem, and the definitions serve as poem titles. Section one explores the theological sense of The Fall, and section two focuses on the present world, addressing how the blemish of that Fall--real or imagined, religious or cultural--exists in us as homesickness, physical illness, and domestic and spiritual dissolution. The third section attends to the very gesture of defining, of finding ways to name and live in a world where both the landscape and the language are vividly alive yet saturated with memory and loss.

Into Language We Fall.......2005-01-08

Amy Newman's third and most recent book _fall_ is a gesture of her continual climb into thither worlds of dense poetic possibility. Following the fully reproduced defintion of "fall" and an epigraph from Rilke that call to attention our own restlesnsness in the world, the book, indeed snuggles into that very discomfort. The poems lay bare the physical world--landscapes and bodies--as they move through 72 definitions of "fall." The collection is an attentive journey to Eden and back, smart as it is sensual. _fall_ is a terrific third book--an excellent read after her exploration of the represented world in _Camera Lyrica_ (1999). Excellent, too, for use in women's studies courses or forms & theories of poetry. Highly recommended.

Visual Shock: A History of Art Controversies in American Culture

ASIN: 0974638307
Release Date: 2004-05-02

Book Description

Disputes over free expression in the arts have always loomed as struggles between creativity and repression, transgression and outrage, candor and hypocrisy. But while high-profile shootouts at art museums and less visible skirmishes at schools, libraries, and theaters persist, overt censorship is no longer the only, or the most dire, threat to free expression. On the one hand, society has become more accepting of provocative imagery, with media conglomerates often leading the way in the depreciation of taboos. On the other hand, artists, while enjoying some unprecedented liberties, are hemmed in by new constraints that often fall beyond the range of First Amendment protection. The current terrain bears little resemblance to the culture wars of a decade ago, much less to what the First Amendment's Framers could have imagined. And since Sept. 11, 2001, the frontlines of the free-expression debate have been shifting once again. Based on a Columbia University conference organized by the National Arts Journalism Program, The New Gatekeepers explores the reconfigured ranks of those who decide what the public gets to see, hear and read, from struggles over intellectual property and copyright, to continuing debates about acceptable and offensive content in the cultural marketplace, to the less visible biases of the arts funding system. This heavily illustrated book also includes a historical overview of censorship and contributions by 40 scholars, artists, experts and journalists from around the United States. Discussed and participating artists include Edouard Manet, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Serra, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Andres Serrano, Carolee Schneemann, Dread Scott, Gran Fury, Joel-Peter Witkin, Kara Walker, Jock Sturges, Chris Ofili, and Tom Sachs.

A wonderful book........2000-03-11

I go to a somewhat conservative boarding school and lent this book to one of my writing teachers, who previously had said that there is no way that a political poem can be heartfelt. This book proves that notion wrong. Normally when people think about politics, they only think about who is running for office, but there is so much more than that in this book. This book should be available in every library in both the poetry and political section. This is an inspiring book that speaks not only to the mind, but to the heart.

Will Work for Peace is a triumph of poetic Davids........1999-10-30

As one of the poets featured in Will Work for Peace, one might expect me to be a bit biased, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Most poets work in a virtual vacuum, only tenuously connected to each other by the occasional workshop or shared membership in a 'poetry society'. When Brett Axel first approached me for a submission to an anthology he was considering, the names Marge Piercy, Lyn Lifshin, Moshe Bennaroch and so many others were abstractions to me as a fledgling poet. I knew these tremendous writers were 'out there' somewhere, beating down doors with their words and keeping a struggling artform alive. But to think that someday I would ever share a credit with these dynamic modern poets would be a pipe dream at best. It is through the sincere efforts of Brett Axel that many newer voices like mine have an extraordinary opportunity to appear with Pulitzer Prize winners and other poetic heavyweights. By way of an honest review, however, I will say this- not everything in this book will be to your particular liking. I myself came across some works that did not move me in the way the author may have intended. Some imagery can be raw and visceral, using shock value in place of craft at times. But to ignore those voices would be an even more shocking turn of events, so praise be to the editor for not sacrificing his vision to a senseless conformity. As Pete Seeger so aptly put it in his quote, trying to read all these poems at one time would be like trying 'to swallow Manhattan whole'. I say to you- buy this book, read this book, but understand that it's what you do after reading this book that will ultimately define who you could be. Poetry is alive and well, and lives in the blunt pages of Will Work for Peace.

Good work!.......1999-10-28

This book has been a long time coming. Brett Axel has really contributed to the poetry world in a way that is noticed, rather than swept into a corner. Many of the poems are good, some are great. Not all the poets are famous, but most of them contributed good work. I liked Amy Ouzoonian's and Brett's poems, as well as "Pinaud's Tonic" by Michael Pollick. I recommend reading that one. The only criticism I would have of the book is of the extreme scatalogical nature of some of the poems, which do not seem to fit with the theme of the anthology, and would, perhaps, be better in collections by that particular poet, rather than in such an anthology. But, overall, it is a great work.

Thumbs Up.......1999-09-20

Just amazing start to finish! I like the disregard for fame used in putting the book together. That great poems got in even if they were writtenby nobodys. Look at Roger Bonair-Agard's poem on page 74. Shortly after Will Work For Peace came out he won Slam Nationals, becoming Slam Champion of 1999, which will be getting him lots of offers. But Zeropanik Press didn't need to be told he was good by an award. They could tell by his writing! Good for them and good for all of us because Will Work For Peace is a literary milestone. It's a new standard for all future anthology editors to try to live up to. Thumbs up to Brett Axel and Thumbs up to Zeropanik Press for their guts and integrty.

Good reading.......1999-09-19

I liked this book. It has some of the best poetry I've ever seen in it. I especially liked the poems by Marge Piercy, Antler, Diane di Prima, and Susan Griffin, but all of it was good. I think there was only one or two that I didn't like at all and they were short. I'd give it 5 stars but the type was kind of small and I'd rather it be easier to read. My eyes aren't what they were when I was 30.

The Battle for the Soul of Contemporary Art.......2000-10-03

Amy Newman has written a thrilling account of how a small alternative art magazine, first published in the back room of a San Francisco art gallery in the early 1960s, developed into the "Bible" of the contemporary art world. Told compellingly in the words of the participants themselves, this oral history is a must read for people interested in contemporary art and an important introduction for those who want to know more. Ms. Newman adds important chapter and section introductions that move the story along and explain the interplay of personalities, ideas and events that influenced the art world. Important and surprising gems appear in endnotes, which reveal a depth of scholarship and insight that gives both the knowledgeable reader and the novice a further appreciation of the dramatic changes occurring in the art market and art criticism during the crucial decades of the 1960s and early 1970s. You meet not only the significant writers and editors of the time, but also the gallery owners, artists, collectors and others who shaped opinions and battled among themselves to create and mold the world of contemporary art into what is now a worldwide industry worth many hundreds of millions of dollars annually. This is a story told by men and women with deeply held views, strong personal and professional attachments, intense friendships and breakups--all committed to influencing how the world looked at, reacted to and evaluated the exploding contemporary art scene. They tell you about their battles, their triumphs and their defeats. They discuss issues that still resonate strongly throughout the art world. As the story develops, it becomes a drama that can't be put down.
