Book Description
Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Edited by the Associate Director of Analytical Research and Development for the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists,
Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients brings this information together into one source. The scope of the series has recently been expanded to include profiles of excipient materials.

Book Description
The Divine Comedy begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense recreation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity.
Allen Mandelbaum’s astonishingly Dantean translation, which captures so much of the life of the original, renders whole for us the masterpiece of that genius whom our greatest poets have recognized as a central model for all poets.
This Everyman’s edition–containing in one volume all three cantos, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso–includes an introduction by Nobel Prize—winning poet Eugenio Montale, a chronology, notes, and a bibliography. Also included are forty-two drawings selected from Botticelli's marvelous late-fifteenth-century series of illustrations.

The Divine Comedy: Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso.......2007-07-27
It's a good book, it's new and i received it in a timely manner for a really low price.
Unbelievable!.......2007-05-15
I was really pleasantly surprised by the condition of this book. I just needed a copy for a college class, so anything would have done the job, but this copy was something I will keep on my shelves forever! Good job !
BTW it got here fast, too!
A Many-Splendored Thing.......2007-05-05
The book arrived today and I am overjoyed to have it in my hands. Aside from the grandeur of Dante's masterpiece, it is quite beautiful to look at! It's an 800-page hardcover from Everyman's Library, respectfully produced, the dust-cover embellished by Botticelli's painting of the noble poet. Allen Mandelbaum's translation is a famously fine one, endorsed by such as the late, great Hugh Kenner, and I am the lucky one now able to read the entire poem.
Amazing Dante!.......2007-05-03
This is incredible! I am in love with this translation! I can read the original Italian (I am fluent), and this version is very faithful to what Dante actually wrote. Nonetheless, it is still extremely enjoyable, and I have taken much pleasure from reading this English version.
Pretty Good.......2007-04-30
This book is amazing. The way its made is perfect. I love the feel of it my hands, i just want to snuggle with it all night......the text in the book is good. It is a great copy to read, can get a little crazy with some of the archaic words, but that will make you more smart, hahaha, it also has a ribbon book mark in it, its cute......

An excellent translation of Dante's Divine Comedy.......2000-06-16
Of course, you need not be convinced of the beauty of the Divine Comedy. No doubt, you already know of Dante's wondrous description of his metaphorical road to happiness, which necessitated a dredging through the lowest the Earth could offer, in the Inferno. The Purgatorio then cleanses Dante from the unbearable heat and filth of Hell, and brings him thoughts of his Love, Beatrice. Finally, Dante is saved in the Paradiso, where he finds the lighted path after his hero, the poet Virgil, guides him through most of the first two books. If you cannot read Renaissance Italian, Mandelbaum's translation shall bring you as close to the author's words as one could hope. Most importantly, meaning from the original version of the Comedy is retained. Mandelbaum has not overlooked Dante's seemingly minor word choices, which upon examination, illustrate the intricacies of the author's purpose. The "minor" word choices turn out to be crucial for a complete understanding of the great Italian epic. Let Mandelbaum show you Dante's Divine Comedy as Dante wrote it.

Book Description: In each section of Michael Cunningham's bold new novel, his first since The Hours, we encounter the same group of characters: a young boy, an older man, and a young woman. "In the Machine" is a ghost story that takes place at the height of the industrial revolution, as human beings confront the alienating realities of the new machine age. "The Children's Crusade," set in the early twenty-first century, plays with the conventions of the noir thriller as it tracks the pursuit of a terrorist band that is detonating bombs, seemingly at random, around the city. The third part, "Like Beauty," evokes a New York 150 years into the future, when the city is all but overwhelmed by refugees from the first inhabited planet to be contacted by the people of Earth.
Presiding over each episode of this interrelated whole is the prophetic figure of the poet Walt Whitman, who promised his future readers, "It avails not, neither time or place ... I am with you, and know how it is." Specimen Days is a genre-bending, haunting, and transformative ode to life in our greatest city and a meditation on the direction and meaning of America's destiny. It is a work of surpassing power and beauty by one of the most original and daring writers at work today.

Customer Reviews:
This is NOT The Hours.......2007-09-23
Wow.
What a weird and disappointing book!
I LOVED The Hours- but this is on par with The Mermaid's Chair, in terms of its failure to measure up. TMChair is no "Bees" and THIS is no "THours"!
If you enjoy historical fiction AND SciFi, you will like the way Cunningham bridges the two genre; otherwise: forget it.
It's up to you, NY, NY!.......2007-09-17
Three self-contained short novels, each based in NY, one a 'ghost story' (?) in the 19th century, one a police & terror thriller (?) in the early 21st, one a sci-fi love story (no question mark) between a 'biomechanical' android and a lizardish alien from disappointing planet Nadia. Interlinked through the cast: Simon, Cathreen and Lukas, and by the words of Walt Whitman.
Whitman's poems assume a Delphian oracle quality. They are the deus ex machina that provide the thread through the centuries. And here comes my question: what does it mean?
Meaning aside, this is a highly entertaining book of mighty prose, each story does not really need support from 2 others. The best, I think, is the contemporary one.
Back to the meaning. What is MC trying to tell us, other than a threesome of very inventive multigenre stories? I have no idea. I have some suspicions, and I am not entirely happy with some of the associations that come up in my mind. Veneration of life in all forms, as somebody writes on the cover? Celebration of NY through the time? BS!
Particularly disturbing the terrorist mastermind in number two. Osama daughter of Laden bin Whitman? Is that the implication? If MC means something else, what is it? Why does he need to glorify her?
Meaning in stories like these should not be overobvious, but should it be completely open to interpretation? Should it be like the oracle?
Ultimately disappointing.......2007-07-31
The three stars are for the first two novellas of this three-part novel. The first story is set in Industrial-Age New York and it is, by far, the best of the three, with its eerie settings and interesting insights into 19th-century urban life. The second story takes place in post-9/11 New York and moves along at the crackling pace of a crime novel. So far, so good. In the third section -- a sci-fi "thriller" set in the distant future -- the wheels fly off entirely and it becomes painfully clear that Cunningham is just not comfortable writing in this genre. For me, this ludicrous bit of nonsense, which could have been based on an episode of "Lost in Space," almost ruined the power of everything that came before. If you can bring yourself to do it, read the first two sections and then close the book once and for all.
Walt Whitman as Yogi Berra.......2007-05-26
Specimen Days is not only the title of Cunningham's book, it is also the title of a work by Walt Whitman, the poet whose observations were apparently the inspiration for Cunningham's latest tome.
Less a novel, and more a series of three thematically connected novellas that relates each tale via different literary genres (19th century ghost story, late 20th century crime thriller, and 22nd century sci-fi love story). New York City is the backdrop for each chronicle and similarly named characters make their appearance in each.
The choreography for the presentation is provided through the observations of Whitman and each of Cunningham's stories seems to be a commentary of sorts on past and present political, cultural and social conditions.
The ambiguity at the end of each story presents the reader with various choices. It's up to you to choose optimism, pessimism, or perhaps a little ambivalence.
This book seems to reinforce Yogi Berra's famous quote: "It's deja vu all over again!!
Cunningham does it again!.......2007-05-15
Just as he did in his masterpiece novel,The Hours, he does again in this novel Specimen Days. It is brilliant. In The Hours, Virginia Woolf was the literary muse; in Specimen Days, it is Walt Whitman that ties three stories together. Each of the stories is set in a different time period with the 3 main characters named the same and most of the action occurs in New York. There are other recurring pieces as well but I don't want to give too much away.
In the Machine is the first of the three stories and it is set in 19th century New York. Lucas is a young deformed boy and the main narrator of this story. As the story opens Lucas's older brother Simon has just been killed in an accident at work. To complicate matters further, Lucas finds himself with a desperate crush on Simon's girlfriend Catherine. Simon is something of a ghost here as he reappears to each of the characters in different ways. The Whitman connection in this one is that Lucas spouts poetry from Leaves of Grass when he is under duress. Lucas will even get to quote Whitman to Walt Whitman ~ one of my favorite scenes.
The Children's Crusade is the second of the stories and it is set in present day New York as something of a mystery or detective story. Cat is the main narrator here and she works for the police answering telephone calls from potential killers, bombers, terrorists, etc.. She has a wealthy boyfriend named Simon who gets turned on by the police work she does. As the story unfolds, we learn she once had a child named Luke who died. Cat starts receiving telephone calls from young children saying they are part of "the family" and that they intend to randomly blow people up. The one thing all the children have in common is that they quote Whitman. This story has an unusual and rather surprising ending.
Like Beauty is the final story of the book and it is set in a post-nuclear future. This time Simon is the main narrator and although he looks human, he is really a robot which is evolving and he is programmed to recite Whitman's poetry when he begins to have human-like emotions. Catareen a 4 ½ foot lizard (imported from another planet to work as servants for humans) becomes his traveling partner as they escape the law and head towards Denver where Simon's creator is. On the way a young boy named Luke helps them escape and travels with them.
Cunningham's writing is so beautiful it reads at times like poetry instead of prose. I personally loved his use of Whitman and found myself digging out my old worn copy of Leaves of Grass. Although it is similar to his novel The Hours they are very different also. This book is fun and intense. If you have liked any of Cunningham's other novels, you will love this too!
