Organic Chemistry16 reviews
James D. Morrison

Krieger Pub Co, 1979

The standard against which all other text books should be measured!
O.K. Let's face it: what could be more boring than Organic Chemistry - right? WRONG! Morrison and Boyd's Organic Chemistry takes the pallid and dry subject of Organic Chemistry and imbues it with a vitality and interest that will stupefy you. Trust me, you cannot begin to fathom how effective this book is at making its subject interesting and more importantly understandable. The authors are ...

Mary Morrison

Christmas Jewelry is a MUST HAVE for collectors and dealers

The Stuff Americans Are Made of: The Seven Cultural Forces That Define Americans-A New Framework for Quality, ...2 reviews
Joshua Hammond, James Morrison, 1996

A different way of looking at business issues
At first I thought this was some type of BS sociological treatise on American culture, but as I skimmed through it in the bookstore, I saw lots of interesting business stories. The authors do a great job of identifying seven forces of American culture and relating them to business successes and failures. These seven forces are: 1. Insistence on choice 2. Pursuit of impossible dreams 3. ...
  
  











  



  
The Astrolabe5 reviews

Janus, 2007

Excellent book
This book summarizes 300 years of knowledge found in previous books, in a clear style and with accurate drawings. I use to read Henri Michel's treatise on astrolabes, and D'Hollander book. Both were interesting but more difficult to read and use, even though they are in French, my language. Morrison's book allowed me to understand how astrolabes work and are drawn. I applied this knowledge to my ...
  
  











  



  
Jim Morrison: Lords and New Creatures5 reviews
James Morrison

Music Sales Corporation, 1970

Summary of James' thoughts, notes, and poetry
Read this book and free yourself from simple common thought and perception. Jim was a pioneer, he took all the pre-concieved orthodox of poetry and smashed through with fresh insights and challenging, even offensive, material. This is the best of all his published works.
  
  











  



  
The Rainmaker1 review

L.A. Theatre Works, 2001

excellent!
here is a play that truly is a little miracle. the script is so honest and touching in a way that almost anyone can relate to. i just saw the production on broadway with jayne atkinson and woody harrelson and absolutely adored it. the whole cast has done wonders with these simple words that Nash has written. it was a delightful production and i urge everyone to read the script even if you ...
  
  











  



  
Interviewing Children and Adolescents: Skills and Strategies for Effective DSM-IV Diagnosis1 review
James; Anders, Thomas F. M.D.; Anders, T. F. Morrison

The Guilford Press, 1999

Very Useful!
This text is clear and easy to read. The information is pratical and useful. I like this book so much that I won't sell it back when I'm done with my class.
  
  











  



  
Bloody Rain1 review
James E. Morrison

Northwest Publishing, 1994

Raw - Gut Wrenching
Bloody Rain is one of the most emotionally draining books that I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Jim sweeps you from page to page in an interesting mixture of history and fiction. Jim captures the spirit of the time this book is set in and the feeling of many Veterans in an awe inspiring way. What a pity he's not written anything else.

Alcohol, Boat Chases, and Shootouts! How the U.S. Coast Guard and Customs Fought Rum Smugglers and Pirates ...1 review
james morrison

Royal Exchange Publications, 2008

Historical AND Entertaining!
This is a fantastically entertaining book made complete by original research and the humor of the author! I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in military or maritime history, the 1920s or pirates. The book contains some fascinating pictures and it is obvious that the author has some expertise in the subject he has written about. I loved this book and I couldn't put it down!
  
  











  



  
When Psychological Problems Mask Medical Disorders: A Guide for Psychotherapists1 review
James Morrison

The Guilford Press, 1997

Great reference
This is a great resource for clinicians. Differentiating between medical and psychological disorders is critical in the practice of health care, as they obviously require quite different modes of treatment. Dr. Morrison has formatted his book in a very easy-to-follow style, where each chapter describes a particular medical problem as well as a discussion of the psychological effects that this ...
  
  











  



  
Tom Dorsey's Trading Tips: A Playbook for Stock Market Success6 reviews
Thomas J. Dorsey, Tammy Derosier, ...

Bloomberg Press, 2001

Outlines the Dorsey Wright Approach Very Well
Tom Dorsey and the other authors run the Dorsey, Wright & Associates investment advisory service. This book does a very good job of outlining and reviewing the point and figure based investment approaches they use. I am an individual investor and have been subscribing to their service for two years. This book gives a good review of their overall "game plan" for making money during the good ...
  
  











  



  
Diagnosis Made Easier: Principles and Techniques for Mental Health Clinicians3 reviews
James Morrison

The Guilford Press, 2006

Wonderful Book
1. What makes James Morrison's books special to me James Morrison has a wonderful quality: He is precise without losing his warmth. From graduate school (I have an M.A. in Psychology), I know the following dilemma: Nobody wanted to make a diagnosis of a patient (and wanted even less to be diagnosed!), because it felt like "putting people in boxes" or "being judgmental"; people were afraid the ...
  
  











  



  
The First Interview: A Guide for Clinicians7 reviews
James Morrison

The Guilford Press, 1993

Written by a great academic teacher
A wonderful book! I have an MA in Psychology (and a PhD in an unrelated field) and have been working in emergency psychiatric evaluations for two years now. This is the one most helpful book that I have found on the question: How do I talk to a person for one hour and know what's going on with them psychiatrically? What I like about it: a) It guides you through the phases of an interview: ...
  
  











  



  
Boarding Time: The Psychiatry Candidate's New Guide to Part II of the Abpn Examination6 reviews
James R. Morrison, Rodrigo A. Munoz

American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2003

I passed.
I hate exams and hate studying for exams and do much less than I should to pass them. Luckily, I did pass my Boards on the first try and I think in large part it was due to having read this book cover to cover. It is an easy read and contains a lot of good tips. Good luck.
  
  











  



  
Feet to the Fire: CIA Covert Operations in Indonesia, 1957-1958 (Special Warfare Series)3 reviews
Kenneth Conboy, James Morrison

US Naval Institute Press, 2000

The truth IS stranger than fiction
"Feet to the Fire" is a well documented, unbiased account of CIA shenanigans in Indonesia during a brief period in the 1950's. (At least it seems to me to be well documented and unbiased but I have no first-hand knowledge of any of the events described.) To me, the story is fantastic and so is the cast: scheming Indonesian politicians, indecisive Indonesian colonels, CIA employees cast from ...
  
  











  



  
James Baldwin : Collected Essays : Notes of a Native Son / Nobody Knows My Name / The Fire Next Time / No ...9 reviews
James Baldwin

Library of America, 1998

Like Nothing Else You've Read
A lot of reviewers have talked about owning this book if you are distinctly interested in collecting works by black authors or in black studies. I think that this book is an essential element to anyone's library, in particular people interested in the craft of writing. Toni Morrison calls Baldwin the greatest essayist of the 20th century and I couldn't agree more. In this collection of essays, ...
  
  











  



  
Gibbons6 reviews
James Morrison

Amazon, 2007

Everything Old is New Again
Although kicking off over 100 years ago, the characters immediately resonate with the reader. Mr Morrison cleverly shows us that humour, relationships, and the age old question regarding the difference between men and women were as evident in the late 19th century as they are today. The incidental historical references are also cleverly worked into the story to pique the interest of even the most ...
  
  











  



  
The Lords and The New Creatures: Poems38 reviews
James d. morrison

Simon & Schuster, 1970

A political magnum opus of lexicon splendor:
Morrison was indeed the William Blake of his day. His poems come across like the proverbial Quodlibet; promulgating a cognitive catharsis with visceral overtones that in many ways has an affect on the soul. Like many other poets such as Langston Hughes, Morrison goes for the jugular, and holds back nothing. His commentaries on sex, politics, and social injustice are on par with today's civil ...
  
  











  



  
Straight Talk about Your Mental Health1 review
James Morrison

The Guilford Press, 2002

Great Reference
My only complaint is that it does not include facts about the very latest drug treatments. A second edition would solve this minor problem.
