Cuando la vida te da limones… es un viaje gastronómico y cultural que sitúa al limón en el centro del segundo volumen de la colaboración de TASCHEN con The Gourmand, la revista donde comida y arte se cruzan constantemente.

Este orbe amarillo, aparentemente simple, revela una historia llena de giros, desde su papel en los jardines renacentistas vinculados a los Medici hasta su capacidad para proteger del escorbuto, su relación con episodios inesperados de la historia social, y su uso como tinta invisible desde el año 600 d. C. El libro traza la genealogía de esta fruta y explora su presencia como recurso literario en autores como Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe y James Joyce, además de su imaginario ligado al sueño americano a través de los puestos de limonada.

El limón también ha sido un motivo recurrente en el arte, desde naturalezas muertas clásicas hasta la inspiración de figuras modernas como Picasso, Matisse o Warhol. Su influencia se extiende al diseño y a la cultura material, con iconos como el Juicy Salif de Philippe Starck o el Jif Lemon, y aparece en artes decorativas, papeles pintados Arts and Crafts o cerámicas de temática mitológica. Con prólogo del chef Simon Hopkinson e introducción de Jennifer Higgie, el volumen se completa con más de 60 recetas con un toque de limón de cocinas de todo el mundo, desde aves y salsas hasta cócteles y postres, fotografiadas en exclusiva por Bobby Doherty.

Makes memorizing 200 drugs look easy!
Format: Paperback
I really liked this book. I liked how this book broke up into 7 different sections (gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, neuro, cardio, endocrine) this made it easier to understand. I also thought that Guerra did a good job of explaining what other students found helpful in memorizing these drugs, it was something that I could relate to and found this really helpful. I also really liked at the end of the chapter, how the book gave quizzes at the end of each chapter, this really helped me to retain the information and make sure I understood what the drug really was. Overall, this was a great book and I would recommend this book for anyone taking pharmacology. 200 drugs can be difficult to understand but I thought this book did a good job of memorizing the drugs.

Great for explanation of difficult concepts, with review questions each chapter
Format: Paperback
I always thought I could never understand pharmacology, so going through my Acupuncture school, I got though my pharmacology courses by rote memorization and pure luck. Then, in practice, I realize that I do have to understand pharmacology, what with the high use of medication in patients' daily routine. So I was looking for a hood, concised, simple to understand pharmacology review that I can do a quick study/review on my own time. Thankfully, I found the right book. This book is everything I've been looking for and amazingly simple to understand. I love the review questions at the end of each chapter. I wish I had found this book while in school, but for $20, it's really help me understand why my patients are taking certain drugs. It also helps me understand the western deconstruction of the Chinese medicinal herbs. I wish they'd come out with a pharmacy review just for Chinese medicinal herbs and potential contraindications, just for acupuncturists and herbalists. The current available herbal medicine textbooks just pretty much list the herbs and note western research on it, but not much of an explanation. With age, I find that I can no longer just do rote memorization, so understanding the basics really helps me to remember and apply concepts. I use this book in my clinic concurrently with a textbook on Chinese medicinal herbs pharmacological concepts to help me understand. And for that, I give it the five stars it deserves.
