Basic but important information.......2006-07-04
I think this book reminds and reinforces a lot of basic information that people should already know but tend to not put into practice in the real world. Its a good book, and worth the price for the reminders and the little tips.
Nothing New Here.......1999-09-30
It's not a bad book. Well written and easy to read. But it's all been said before in other books and other places. You'd be better off spending yor money elsewhere.
Going on a job interview? Read this book first!.......1999-05-14
Take it from a Wharton grad and fourth generation Wall Streeter - the First Five Minutes is a must-read. Invaluable for both the recent graduate and the "old pro".
A Great Book!.......1998-12-27
I found this book to be very useful as a college student who will be looking for a job in the business world in the next few years. I found that the author presents the information in a very easy-to-read format, enabling the book to serve as a quick reference guide to various business (and social) settings as needed. I plan to keep the book on the bookshelf in my college dorm room, and I recommend that all do the same! The book is a solid 5-stars and I hope the author chooses to write another book in the near future!
Less then 1 star.......1998-11-19
This book was a waste of time & money with nothing new or even interesting. It contains information that JHS student would know

A must read for Ford enthusiasts.......2001-12-11
A must read for Ford enthusiasts. A wealth of information on all the Ford conversions that I know of except Roadless which was given it's own book. I was expecting more than a brief mention of Weatherill. Just like Gibbard's Roadless book, an abundant supply of photographs.

Book Description
The first homeobox gene was molecular cloned nearly two decades ago, and since that time tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the distribution of homeobox genes in the genomes of many animal species and the common functional role the encoded homeodomains play in cell-type specification, morphogenesis and development.
The amino acid sequence of the homeodomain, as well as the presence of other conserved protein domains, has allowed the classification of homeodomain-containing proteins (homeoproteins) into over thirty separate families (e.g.
Hox, Dlx, Msx, Otx, Hmx, Cdx etc.). In many cases a single gene has been shown to fully direct the morphogenesis and development of a complex tissue, organ or even an entire body segment. Yet how this "master" regulatory ability of homeoproteins functions at the molecular level to a large degree still remains a mystery, in part owing to our limited understanding of the nature of both homeoprotein transcriptional cofactors and even more elusively, the downstream targets of homeoprotein function.
In the reviews presented here it is limited primarily to what has been learned in vertebrate systems, principally focusing on the mouse, owing to the strengths of the technical approaches currently existing in murine developmental genetics that are not yet available to the same degree in other vertebrate species. Despite this mammalian predilection, a common thread to each of these reviews is the underlying importance of what has been learned about homeoprotein function in other animal species, particularly arthropods like
Drosophila.

Book Description
Techniques of performing applied mineralogy investigations, and applications and capabilities of recently developed instruments for measuring mineral properties are explored in this book intended for practicing applied mineralogists, students in mineralogy and metallurgy, and mineral processing engineers.
The benefits of applied mineralogy are presented by using in-depth applied mineralogy studies on base metal ores, gold ores, porphyry copper ores, iron ores and industrial minerals as examples. The chapter on base metal ores includes a discussion on the effects of liberation, particle sizes and surfaces coatings of Pb, Cu, Fe, Ca and So
4
- on the recoveries of sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. The chapter on gold discusses various methods of determining the quantities of gold in different minerals, including 'invisible' gold in pyrite and arsenopyrite, so that a balance of the distribution of gold among the minerals can be calculated. This book also discusses the roles of pyrite, oxygen, moisture and bacterial (thiobacillus ferrooxidans) on reactions that produce acidic drainage from tailings piles, and summarizes currently used and proposed methods of remediation of acidic drainage.

Book Description
Mexico City is one of Latin America’s cultural capitals, and one of the most vibrant urban spaces in the world. The Mexico City Reader is an anthology of "Cronicas"—short, hybrid texts that are part literary essay, part urban reportage—about life in the capital. This is not the "City of Palaces" of yesteryear, but the vibrant, chaotic, anarchic urban space of the1980s and 1990s—the city of garbage mafias, necrophiliac artists, and kitschy millionaires.
Like the visitor wandering through the city streets, the reader will be constantly surprised by the visions encountered in this mosaic of writings—a textual space brimming with life and crowded with flâneurs, flirtatious students, Indian dancers,
food vendors, fortune tellers, political activists, and peasant protesters.
The essays included in this anthology were written by a panoply of writers, from well-known authors like Carlos Monsiváis and Jorge Ibagüengoitia to younger figures like Fabrizio Mejía Madrid and Juieta García González, all of whom are experienced practitioners of the city. The texts collected in this anthology are among the most striking examples of this concomitant "theory and practice" of Mexico City, that most delirious of megalopolises.
