Stephen Braun Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine
Oxford University Pres | May 30, 2001 | ISBN: 0195092899 | PDF | 9 MB

From Publishers Weekly
Whether they prefer scotch on the rocks or a double mocha latte, readers will enjoy Braun's dissection of caffeine, alcohol and the processes by which they work. For one thing, the presentation of complicated scientific concepts is understandable without being condescending. Braun makes analogies ("Drinking caffeine is thus like putting a block of wood under one of the brain's primary brake pedals") that help the reader to visualize what's going on. The book is also helped by the author's inclusion of stories and humorous moments. From David Letterman quotes ("If it weren't for the caffeine, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever") to personal anecdotes about the effects these two mood-altering substances had upon the formulation of his book, Braun manages to take abstract concepts and mold them into something highly readable. Science novices should find this book as enjoyable and well-written as those who have spent their lives working with biology or chemistry.

From Library Journal
Now a producer at the New England Research Institutes, science writer Braun engagingly describes the chemistry, metabolism, physiological and behavioral effects, and reputed health benefits of the world's two most popular drugs: alcohol and caffeine. He seasons the book with references to history, folklore, and literature. (Did you know that Bach wrote a Coffee Cantata ) The treatment of controversial issues such as the correlation between risk of heart disease and moderate wine consumption is balanced, and the science is sound. Whether the subject is the cause of hangovers or the effects of caffeine consumption on PMS, Braun has a knack for interpreting the findings of medical researchers and applying them to daily life. He also includes a postscript on the two years he spent researching the book and how it moderated his own alcohol and caffeine consumption. Recommended for academic and public libraries.

It would have been nicer for us to be able to choose a non-RS mirror as you have done in other posts lately. Even Depositfiles (except for Mooload and MyTempDir), but better still, Icefile, TurboUpload, MIHD, etc.

To change the subject, lately every 3rd AvaxHome page has been trying to dump ErrorSafe on my browser. Fortunately Webroot Spy Sweeper has prevented this, but it still prevents graphics displaying unless you reload the page. Please get rid of this sh*te or else members will go somewhere else.
