Caryl Churchill

Theatre Communications Group, 2007

Challenging, brilliant
Here is a play that conflates the rhetoric of war into bite size pieces and shows us that one war, particularly as we Americans get involved in them, is all wars. Churchill's staccato lines, and disjointed dialogue is not for everyone, and her play presses our continuity buttons, but this two person dialogue between an allegorical Uncle Sam and an allegorical Guy who is drawn to Sam's cockiness ...

Charles N. Roper

Readable for everyone
Dr. Roper has not only thoroughly covered the subject, as the expert that he is, but he has made it effortlessly readable for everyone. Reading and learning about alcoholism and addiction has never been easier. With no text book jargon to wade through, this is an insiders view for everyone.

Drunk Driving Defense: How to Beat the Rap

The Title Says It All
No one has ever written such a thoroughly comprehensive book for the average person. "Beat the Rap" takes a person step-by-step through the entire process from the police stop through a drunk driving trial. Everything in-between explains in plain and simple language the many ways to "Beat the Rap". I have spoken to several people who used the book, and they were able to educate their lawyer ...

Wellspring/Ballantine, 1999

Change Your Mind About Money!
As a therapist and seminar leader on money issues, I love their "Are You A Money Drunk?" quizzes. They help explain and re-orient the underlying attitudes and beliefs that fuel a bad relationship with money. The book offers a foundation of healing for people who think they cannot control their spending, and are using money as a drug.

Doug Thorburn

Galt Publishing(Northridge, CA), 2001

The Way It Really Is
This book explained so much human behavior to me that I did not understand before. Like Copernicus revealing that the earth goes around the sun and not the other way around, Thorburn reveals that addiction is the root cause of much horrid human behavior rather than bad character or upbringing. With 10% of the population under the throes of addiction, it touches every one of our lives in a ...

Drunk by Noon
Jennifer L. Knox

Lulu.com, 2007

Did somebody say Jen Knox's poems "read like Richard Pryor with an MFA"? Yes, somebody did. (It was John Findura in Verse Magazine.) She's also been compared to comedian Sarah Silverman, artist Jeff Koons, a 10-year-old who can't keep her mouth shut, and cartoonist R. Crumb. None of these equations is quite right, however. Jennifer L. Knox's work is unmistakably her own: darkly hilarious, surprisingly empathetic, utterly original. DRUNK BY NOON ...

Red, White, and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey from Grape to Glass

Natalie MacLean

Bloomsbury USA, 2007

Informative & Funny
Reading the book while I'm in the right environment (France - lovely wheather - Lac Léman - tasting and buying wine - et cetera) gives me lots of pleasure. It's not only informative but also 'funny' (excusez le mot) and - while I'm half way the book - puts me in a situation where I have to choose: read the rest of the book or drive to the next planned stop in Marin (Savoie) for wine to taste ...

Dumped and depressed - not after reading this book!
I picked up this book based on the title alone. I had once been drunk, divorced and covered in cat hair and trying desperately to make myself whole again. Now, many years later I find myself knitting furiously to fill the empty next. Not quite the same as being dumped by one's husband, but a similar feeling of loss and loneliness. In addition to knitting and latch hook and crocheting, I've ...

Dieting: A Dry Drunk

3 reviews
Becky Lu Jackson, Joseph Mortola

Universal Publishers, 2001

This book has been a life-saver!
This book contains a lot of wisdom and clarity about how eating disorders work, and how to arrest them, that isn't available in the vast dieting industry, and often not from the medical profession either. I have worked with Becky Jackson for several years concerning my own food and eating issues, and I have learned so much more than I did in any previous "diet" program. This book is NOT ...

Drew Hayden Taylor

Talonbooks, 1998

So real, So painful
Mixed blood Ojibwe writer Drew Hayden Taylor touches the heart with this two act play which relates the pain and grief resulting from government programs in which Indian children were virtually stolen from their parents to be adopted by non-natives. The plot revolves around the newly found relationship of long-separated sisters who have been reunited; one from the reservation and the other an ...

You Owe Yourself a Drunk: An Ethnography of Urban Nomads

Ethnography by excellent example
Hi, are you looking for some good practical advice on how to conduct ethnographic research? I've looked at more than a few research texts, and have come away with less than a certain view on how to conduct such research. Most texts just simply proscribe some vague actions with little contextualization. This book provides answers to those difficult questions by providing readers with a very good ...

Slightly degrading, but hilarious nonetheless. Laughed the whole time I read it, and afterword thanked God that my moral standards are SLIGHTLY higher than the respective author's.

Jeffrey Taylor, 2004

A Gentleman Drunk
Jeffrey Taylor's "A Gentleman Drunk" was so incredibly fascinating and fast-paced I read it in one evening. So many of our stories are in this wonderful sharing of a heart and soul that was in such racking pain. I plan to re-read this on a less excited basis, again and again. Thank you, Jeffrey, for your sincerity and demonstrating how we sufferers can survive this mixed curse and blessing.

Drunk Driving Defense, Sixth Edition

Lawrence Taylor, Steven Oberman

Aspen Publishers, 2005

Drunk Driving Defense, 5th edition -- great book!
This new edition is even better than the previous editions -- which were great! Updated laws, new scientific studies on breath alcohol analysis and field sobriety tests, new sample pretrial motions and cross-examinations, jury selection, license suspensions, etc. I particularly found the detailed checklists helpful, along with the sample cross-examinations of the cop on things like DUI symptoms, ...

The first is based upon his own experience as a functioning alcoholic. The second is based upon his experience and knowledge as a medical doctor.

Nick Wadley

Pomegranate Communications, 2003

Sketchy yet wickedly humorous cartoons and visual puns
Drunk With Pleasure is a collection of simple, sketchy yet wickedly humorous cartoons and visual puns, all involving wine or alcohol. Drawn in a minimalist style with splashes of color, these chuckle-inducing single-panel scenes include a play on the phrase "Life is unfair!" as "Life is un verre!", i.e. a delicious drink. A glossary of wine terms to better contribute to understanding the cartoons ...
