Once in Golconda: A True Drama of Wall Street 1920-1938Once in Golconda "In this book, John Brooks who was one of the most elegant of all business writers perfectly catches the flavor of one of history's best known financial dramas: the 1929 crash and its aftershocks. It's packed with parallels and parables for the modern reader."

Once in Golconda "In this book, John Brooks-who was one of the most elegant of all business writers-perfectly catches the flavor of one of history's best-known financial dramas: the 1929 crash and its aftershocks. It's packed with parallels and parables for the modern reader." -From the Foreword by Richard Lambert Editor-in-Chief, The Financial Times Once in Golconda is a dramatic chronicle of the breathtaking rise, devastating fall, and painstaking rebirth of Wall Street in the years between the wars. Focusing on the lives and fortunes of some of the era's most memorable traders, bankers, boosters, and frauds, John Brooks brings to vivid life all the ruthlessness, greed, and reckless euphoria of the '20s bull market, the desperation of the days leading up to the crash of '29, and the bitterness of the years that followed. Praise for Once in Golconda "A fast-moving, sophisticated account.embracing the stock-market boom of the twenties, the crash of 1929, the Depression, and the coming of the New Deal. Its leitmotif is the truly tragic personal history of Richard Whitney, the aristocrat Morgan broker and head of the Stock Exchange, who ended up in Sing Sing." -Edmund Wilson, writing in the New Yorker "As Mr. Brooks tells this tale of dishonor, desperation, and the fall of the mighty, it takes on overtones of Greek tragedy, a king brought down by pride. Whitney's sordid history has been told before..But in Mr. Brooks's hands, the drama becomes freshly shocking." -Wall Street Journal "It's all there in Once in Golconda-the avarice of an era that favored the rich; and the later anguish of myriads of speculators doomed by a bloated market, easy credit, and their own cupidity and stupidity." -Saturday ReviewBinding Type: Hardcover

Dr Ferri's Clinical Advisor '26 is, as always, a fabulous resource for any medical or NP practice!
Format: Hardcover
Excellent resource, as always from Dr Ferri. Well worth its generous weight to use a resource other than UptoDate once in a while. Besides, for us medical providers who have been in the calling many years, Ferri's Clinical Advisor 2026 is better at maintaining ones arm strength than lifting an iphone, plus safer and more accurate than the use of AI;)

You wont regret!
Format: Hardcover
Love! Love! LOVE! Everything in one book! Plus you get the e-version included as well! I am in NP school and the differential diagnosis book my school required is a joke! I took a chance on this book and am so glad I did! It's a big book! So plan on leaving it on your desk or tabletop, but at least youll have access to the ebook across your devices

Sketchy citations.
Format: Hardcover
Retired MD. Keeping up for the sake of family, friends and myself. I was looking for something like the “Medicine” book I had third year of med school. This is quite a bit more comprehensive. HOWEVER, the references/citations are hopelessly effed up. In the e book chapter on CHF, every reference I checked was about TRANSSEXUALISM in some way!! You authors/editors have some major work to do. I checked other chapters too. Seems even in Cirrhosis chapter the citations are to urology journals, total non sequiturs. HELP!!

Well-organised, concise and beautifully illustrated
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The book can be described as concise, well-structured (being constant throughout its entirety), and quite graphic, aside from the prestigious drawings from Dr. Frank H. Netter, there's also real-life pictures included.
The online resources are well used, and they're another tool in case someone want's a quick search instead of going to the index.
I recommend this book for anyone who wants to have good knowledge of infectious diseases, without having to go to the more expensive authoritative source (Mandell, Douglas and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases 9th Ed.), which is also mentioned in the preface.
