Cruel Legacies

"AHPA’s Botanical Safety Handbook is, without a doubt, an extremely valuable reference book that is highly recommended to product manufacturers, healthcare practitioners, regulatory agencies, industrial and academic researchers, and herbal product consumers."—Charles J. Knill and John F. Kennedy, Chembiotech Laboratories, in International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
"Whenever there are questions or compositional uncertainties about a material, the toxicologist’s brow becomes populated with beads of perspiration. However, in the case of quantifying toxicity and making a human health risk assessment for a botanical product or component the toxicologists can get help from the American Herbal Products Association’s Botanical Safety Handbook, Second Edition (BSH).The BSH is hefty by any objective measure such as dimensions, weight and content; it will likely be judged by its users as comprehensive. BSH covers over 500 herbs within almost 1,100 pages.BSH is a valuable resource for a toxicologist to understand the arena in which he or she is practicing their profession … using BSH gives valuable background information located in one place, reducing the literature searching time for obtaining background information on a botanical.… the BSH is a necessary reference in the personal library of toxicologists that routinely conduct hazard analyses and human health risk assessments of botanicals. Those toxicologists that assess the human health risks of botanicals will find a vast amount of generic background information that will supplement their activities. In addition, toxicologists will discover clear and valuable guidance and directions for making their human health risk assessments of botanicals."—John A. Budny in the International Journal of Toxicology, 2013 32: 466
"… Although this edition covers approximately the same number of herbs as the first, expanded entries quadruple the number of pages. Records for medicinal herbs include summaries and reference lists, safety and interaction classifications, name variants, and plant partes) used. Inaccurate/unsubstantiated information often appears in publications providing safety evaluations of natural products. To increase the validity of this handbook, attempts were made to identify questionable reports as well as studies lacking sufficient details about formulations used; when included, limitations of such studies are noted. … This reference work will appeal to health care professionals, members of the public, and industry personnel interested in the safety and potential interactions of herbal products. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students and above; general readers.—J. Saxton, Bastyr University, in CHOICE Magazine
"I have long anticipated examining an upgraded second edition. I was pleased to find that the revised content included input from a highly qualified expert advisory council … The vastly expanded content provides safety information on more than 550 species of herbs and includes new herbs, many from the Ayurvedic tradition. … overall this book fills an essential niche by intelligently addressing specific practical issues in the broad context of botanical safety concerns. I certainly will be referring to it regularly."—Francis Brinker, ND, HerbalGram, Issue 99, 2013
"Now, thanks to the recent publication of the new edition of the American Herbal Products Association’s (AHPA) Botanical Safety Handbook, no health professional needs to make an uninformed decision [on drug interactions with herbs] ever again. … The most exhaustive reference of its kind ever assembled, the AHPA Botanical Safety Handbook distills in one place hundreds of thousands of pages of scientific and medical information on herbs – the most widely employed class of health remedies in the world. Without question, the handbook answers the question, "Is it safe?" … With the AHPA Botanical Safety Handbook on hand, now every doctor, nurse, pharmacist, clinic and hospital can have readily on hand the definitive guide to recurring herbal questions."—Chris Kilham, Foxnews.com, May 8, 2013
"...a very valuable reference for anyone selling, manufacturing or using medicinal herbs and perhaps will help clear the way for setting better legal and labeling standards of herbs."—American Herb Association 
"A basic reference text which should be on every herbalist's shelf! . . . It is very complete and includes many Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs as well. Congratulations to AHPA on an excellent and much needed text. Thank you!"—Robyn's Recommended Reading
"An absolutely necessary reference book, this book gives cautions and contraindications for more than 600 plants. Don't expect fun reading-it is strictly a reference book. BUY IT!"—The Herbal Connection
"The Handbook is a very readable and authoritative reference for herbal products, their usage, toxicity, and contraindications."—The Microscope
"This book represents a significant revision and expansion of the first edition… [it is] a very important, extraordinarily detailed compilation of safety data on botanicals used in human health products. It will be an excellent resource for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, regulators, consumers, and even marketers and advertisers. Every school of pharmacy, medicine, and nursing should have a copy in its library."—John H. Cardellina, II, ReevesGroup Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

&ldquo;David Kertzer has an eye for a story, an ear for the right word, and an instinct for human tragedy. They all come together in&#160;The Pope and Mussolini&#160;to document, with meticulous scholarship and novelistic flair, the complicity between Pius XI and the Fascist leader in creating an unholy alliance between the Vatican and a totalitarian government rooted in corruption and brutality. This is a sophisticated blockbuster.&rdquo;&mdash;Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of&#160;Revolutionary Summer&#160;&ldquo;Much more attention has been given to the Vatican&rsquo;s compromises and complicity with Hitler, but Kertzer tells a fascinating and tragic story of its self-interested support for Mussolini when he was vulnerable early on.&rdquo;&mdash;The New Yorker&ldquo;Revelatory . . . [a] detailed portrait of the inner workings of the Vatican in this period . . . The general outlines of this story have always been matters of public record, but Kertzer&rsquo;s book deepens and alters our understanding considerably. The portrait that emerges from it suggests a much more organic and symbiotic relationship between the Church and fascism. Rather than seeing the Church as having passively accepted fascism as a fait accompli, Kertzer sees it as having provided fundamental support to Mussolini in his consolidation of power and the establishment of dictatorship in Italy.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Review of Books&ldquo;Gripping storytelling . . . a book whose narrative strength is as impressive as its moral subtlety . . . Kertzer has uncovered a fascinating tale of two irascible&mdash;and often irrational&mdash;potentates, and gives us an account of some murky intellectual finagling, and an often startling investigation of the exercise of power.&rdquo;&mdash;The Guardian&ldquo;Captivating . . . the real&#160;Da Vinci Code&mdash;only it&rsquo;s rigorously documented and far less&#160;implausible.&rdquo;&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle&ldquo;The papacy of Pius XI remained essentially a foil for discussing his successor. Kertzer&rsquo;s excellent volume will change all of that. . . . From the outset of his new book, Kertzer deftly reconstructs the parallel lives of Achille Ratti, who became Pius XI, and of Benito Mussolini, both men whose beginnings do not point to the historic role that they began to play in 1922. The narration unfolds along the separate political, ideological, and institutional backgrounds of the Pope&rsquo;s and Duce&rsquo;s careers and brings up in fascinating detail the issues on which their interests converged and clashed. . . . Kertzer&rsquo;s essential book reveals a window on this sordid history&mdash;a window that for a long time was shuttered, but will not be obscured anymore.&rdquo;&mdash;The New Republic&#160;&ldquo;Stunning . . . remarkable . . . Kertzer authoritatively banishes decades of denial and uncertainty about the Vatican's relationship with Italy&rsquo;s fascist state.&rdquo;&mdash;The Christian Science Monitor&ldquo;A capstone on David Kertzer&rsquo;s already crucial work,&#160;The Pope and Mussolini&#160;carefully and eloquently advances the painful but necessary truth of Vatican failure to meet its greatest moral test. This is history for the sake of justice.&rdquo;&mdash;James Carroll, National Book Award&ndash;winning&#160;author of&#160;Constantine&rsquo;s Sword
