Books about Northridge from Amazon.com

This is possibly the most comprehensive book on alcohol and other drug addiction ever written It is the first to explain how to identify the problem in the earliest stages, before tragedy occurs. Most readers cannot put the book down; they depict it as a ¡§page turner,¡¨ a description rarely used in regards to non-fiction work. You will discover:

(1) Alcoholism is a biological disorder, based in ancestry. It¡¦s inception has nothing to do with one¡¦s environment, circumstances or psychological type. These determine instead, the form that addiction takes.
(2) Why the addict is incapable of self-diagnosis. AA¡¦s ¡§20 questions¡¨ for the addict are converted to 60+ questions for the observer/close person. These questions are largely behavioral.
(3) Because no one can predict when or how destructive the behavior of a practicing addict may become, others need to disengage at the earliest possible moment. How to do so.
(4) Addiction mimics virtually all the Personality Disorders and mental illnesses. Most diagnosed with these problems are, in fact, addicts.
(5) Why pain from consequences is the only means by which to set the stage for intervention. The missing link in intervention.
(6) Via numerous stories, that close persons are in a far better position to identify the problem than are therapists and doctors.
(7) How to protect oneself, personally and professionally, from the financial and other problems that relationships with addicts create.
(8) How the media misinforms keeping the public ignorant about addiction. Numerous news reports and movies are described. The greatest movies about alcoholism have rarely been identified as such.
(9) The role of Psychological Type and Temperament in identifying and treating addiction.
(10) How to recover from the ordeal of having been negatively affected by a alcohol or other drug addict..

Find out what these students say about their overall experience at Cal State Northridge:

I just graduated, and I look back on my years at CSUN and see that my overall experience there was great. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people, and learned so much from my experience there. I would definitely recommend going to CSUN to anyone. A few words to the wise: make sure you are on top of things with registering for classes because if you miss a second, you will get screwed and possibly postpone your graduation because of one small mistake. Try to make friends with as many people as you can because you will never know when you will need them. Try to live in the dorms for at least one year, get involved, and last but not least, have as much fun as you can, and live for the day.

I enjoyed my experience at CSUN. If you like a beautiful landscape and wearing flip-flops and tank tops in January, then CSUN is the place for you. It s close to the beach, mountains, and downtown. It s really a homey place.

I like that CSUN has small classes compared to other big universities. The high school/college transition was easy to make.
