Excellent textbook for the research scientist.......2006-02-03
This is the first book I've encountered that discusses genetics from the point of view of the research scientist. I use it in my first year graduate genetics class. For instance, chapter 2 is entirely devoted to mutant hunts. Another chapter covers extragenic suppressors- even allele specific suppression. Chapter 5 covers epistasis and mosaic analysis. Alas, there is even a comprehensible discussion of LOD scores. This is all great stuff that any geneticist will love.
However, any book falls short on something. The emphasis is on non-mammalian model organisms. Thus, there is very little discussion of the use and pitfalls of dominant negatives and RNAi and no discussion of gene targeting in mice. The book would also benefit by a discussion of modern genomic methods.

An informed and informative travel resource.......2003-07-20
Now in an thoroughly updated and expanded, The Berkshire Book: A Complete Guide by hiker, newspaper publisher, and travel writer Lauren R. Stevens, is an informed and informative travel resource ideal for anyone vacationing in the Berkshire county of Massachusetts. After providing a history of the area, individual chapters are filled with information on transportation, lodgings, dining, fine arts, recreation, shopping, and much, much more in this packed, tell-all, detail-laden guide. If you are going to find yourself in Berkshire country, Lauren Steven's The Berkshire Book is the travel guide for you!
An Excellent Guide Gets Even Better.......2000-04-28
This is, simply, the only guide you'll want or need for visiting the Berkshires. It seems to improve a little with each addition. I gave the last edition four stars. I'd give this one four and a half (if Amazon would let me.) Having travelled all over the world and found few spots to rival the Berkshres for quiet, unspoiled beauty, wonderful place to bike and hike and rich cultural offerings, I am glad to have found a guidebook worth of this worthy place.
The finest and most complete guidebook for the Berkshires.......1998-09-02
This is easily the best guidebook available for the Berkshires (a remarkable region of natural and cultural beauty in Western Massachusetts.) Extensive, in-depth chapters not cover every attraction, restaurant, and type of lodging available in the region, but also provide a wealth of information on the history and culture of the region. If you're a day tripper visiting The Calarke Art Institute in the morning and the Norman Rockwell museum in the afternoon, you probably don't need this book, but if you're staying in the Berkshires for an extended time and long to really understand what makes this place so fascinating, you'll want a copy of The Berkshire Book in your suitcase.

Student Study Guide review.......2005-09-03
A very good study guide with the exception of missing info in the description. It did not specify what Campbell edition it corresponds to. As we are using the sixth edition to prep for the AP exam, it is not totally current. The study guide is to accompany the third edition. It arrived in excellent condition.
Nice Book.......2000-11-05
This book is great, I am a sophomore who ordered this too. I used a friend's 4th edition, but it was not good. Then I ordered this edition on Sept 20th and it was shipped Nov 3rd, I think it is worth the wait. I have now gotten it and I enjoy using it and those hilarious comics in the beginning of each unit!
wonderfully written!.......2000-06-23
I was a sophomore student who took AP Biology and used this guide to help me during tests. This guide reinforced many crucial concepts and most of all, it reviewed in the most interesting way.

Book Description
This book provides a concise presentation of the majortechniques for determining analytic approximations to the solutions of planar oscillatory dynamic systems. These systems model many important phenomena in the sciences and engineering. In addition to the usual perturbation procedures, the book gives the details of when and how to correctly apply the method of harmonic balance for both first-order and higher-order calculations. This procedure is rarely given or discussed fully in standard textbooks. The basic philosophy of the book stresses how to initiate and complete the calculation of approximate solutions. This is done by a clear presentation of necessary background materials and by the working out of many examples.
Book Description
Wallace Fowlie's prose translations accompany the original French texts in this, the first complete bilingual edition of Rimbaud's work in prose and poetry.
"This handsome edition, which makes France's most remarkable poet readily available in the U.S., may well be a literary landmark comparable to Baudelaire's introduction of Edgar Allan Poe in France a century earlier."—Anna Balakian, New York Times Book Review
Customer Reviews:
Good read for Rimbaud fans.......2007-01-14
I was assigned this book in a Freshman Lit class and what do ya know I really like Rimbaud.
English translation, too literal, too boring..........2005-07-28
From a person who absolutely does not understand French language, like myself, this book is a 'pain-in-the-behind' to read!
First of all, it seems like Fowlie translated 'too literally' from Rimbaud's original French text (I can sense that by noticing some words that are same both in French and English on the same line). This in turn makes the English translation to sound too 'flat' and 'unimaginative' (and 'difficult'). Most of the poems, I have to read several times to understand what Rimbaud (or should I say Fowlie) is trying to say. Worse, in some cases, I have to go to a bookstore and read other editions done by more imaginative translators to fully understand what Rimbaud's poetry is about. Now that's sad...
If you know French, this book may be good for you since you can ONLY read French text, but if you don't know jack about French, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! YOU WILL BE BORED TO DEATH! Read the ones translated by more creative authors. Rimbaud's work deserves better treatment than this! I will sell this book at an used bookstore and buy Paul Schmidt's version!
useful if you know french.......2005-02-14
This is very complete, but the english translations are pretty bad, useful if you are reading in french and forget some of the words. If you are going to read Rimbaud in english, get the Louise Varese (new directions) editions instead.
A true genius.......2003-09-05
For all who love Rimbaud's work this is the book for them. The included letters give the reader a glimpse into the boy genius that was Rimbaud. He certainly was a difficult person but there is no denying his brilliance as a poet.
Yes, but..........2002-08-19
I ... found Fowlie's over-literal translations ugly and lame. But I think this may be deliberate. The unbeautifulness of the translations forces you back to the exquisite French original. It's a joy to have these poems as Rimbaud wrote them, and a bilingual edition is a must for the non-French-reader. If you want a beautiful English translation, I recommend reading Paul Schmidt's in conjunction with this one.
Book Description
The enfant terrible of French letters, Jean-Nicholas-Arthur Rimbaud (1854-91) was a defiant and precocious youth who wrote some of the most remarkable prose and poetry of the nineteenth century, all before leaving the world of verse by the age of twenty-one. More than a century after his death, the young rebel-poet continues to appeal to modern readers as much for his turbulent life as for his poetry; his stormy affair with fellow poet Paul Verlaine and his nomadic adventures in eastern Africa are as iconic as his hallucinatory poems and symbolist prose.
The first translation of the poet's complete works when it was published in 1966, Rimbaud: Complete Works, Selected Letters introduced a new generation of Americans to the alienated genius—among them the Doors's lead singer Jim Morrison, who wrote to translator Wallace Fowlie to thank him for rendering the poems accessible to those who "don't read French that easily." Forty years later, the book remains the only side-by-side bilingual edition of Rimbaud's complete poetic works.
Thoroughly revising Fowlie's edition, Seth Whidden has made changes on virtually every page, correcting errors, reordering poems, adding previously omitted versions of poems and some letters, and updating the text to reflect current scholarship; left in place are Fowlie's literal and respectful translations of Rimbaud's complex and nontraditional verse. Whidden also provides a foreword that considers the heritage of Fowlie's edition and adds a bibliography that acknowledges relevant books that have appeared since the original publication. On its fortieth anniversary, Rimbaud remains the most authoritative—and now, completely up-to-date—edition of the young master's entire poetic ouvre.

Love Edgar Allen Poe, Love Rimbaud.......2007-02-24
If you love Poe, you will love Rimbaud. He isn't as insane as Poe but his writings as dark and mysterious. He shouldn't have died at age 19.
