Excellent Survey of Equity REITS But It Has Limitations........2003-04-13

This book is an excellent survey of the world of equity REITS. And it does sum up the value of buying each type of equity REIT. But if you're looking for a book which shows you how to invest in REITS and how to analyze the figures of a REIT, this isn't the book.

I also was hoping to find information on Mortgage REITS. There was only a paragraph or two on the subject --- certainly not enough information on this topic.

This book is geared more toward the analyst or someone with a tremendous amount of experience in REITS. It assumes you have a good background in REIT investing. And it certainly does not cover the entire field of REITS.

So it depends upon your needs as to whether or not this book would be a good addition to your investing library. I personally got three bits of information out of it that were worth the cost of the book. But I could have probably gotten the information elsewhere free.

Great Survey Of The REIT World.......2002-12-11

This book provided a great overview of the REIT industry. As an analyst, I found the summary data at the end of each chapter most useful. I also liked the interviews with the real estate titans, such as Sam Zell, they added a practical dimension to the "hard data" in the book. I picked-up some good practical insights from the interviews. It's a substantial but easy to read book.

Book Description

Computational molecular biology, or bioinformatics, draws on the disciplines of biology, mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering. It provides the computational support for functional genomics, which links the behavior of cells, organisms, and populations to the information encoded in the genomes, as well as for structural genomics. At the heart of all large-scale and high-throughput biotechnologies, it has a growing impact on health and medicine.

This survey of computational molecular biology covers traditional topics such as protein structure modeling and sequence alignment, and more recent ones such as expression data analysis and comparative genomics. It combines algorithmic, statistical, database, and AI-based methods for studying biological problems. The book also contains an introductory chapter, as well as one on general statistical modeling and computational techniques in molecular biology. Each chapter presents a self-contained review of a specific subject.

Book Description

Coastal East and Southeast Asia are characterized by wet growing seasons, and species-rich forest ecosystems develop throughout the latitudinal and altitudinal gradients. In this region, the Global Change Impacts on Terrestrial Ecosystems in Monsoon Asia (TEMA) project was carried out as a unique contribution to the international project Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems. TEMA aimed to integrate forest ecosystem processes, from leaf physiology to meteorological budget and prediction of long-term change of vegetation composition and architecture through demographic processes. Special attention was given to watershed processes, where forest ecosystem metabolism affects the properties and biogeochemical budgets of freshwater ecosystems, and where rivers, wetlands, and lakes are subject to direct and indirect effects of environmental change. This volume presents the scaling-up concept for better understanding of ecosystem functioning.

Book Description

Combined with the other two volumes, this text is a comprehensive treatment of the key experimental methods of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, as well as an excellent experimental handbook for the field. Thewide availability of tunable lasers in the past several years has revolutionized the field and lead to the introduction of many new experimental methods that are covered in these volumes. Traditional methods are also included to ensure that the volumes will be a complete reference source for the field.

At Prot U, a fictional university in Texas, more than the temperature heats up as intrigue and conflict take over. In this satiric novel, power struggles over press freedom force the editor of the student newspaper and his faculty adviser to choose between security and doing the right thing.

A book that works on several levels.......2004-10-23

This is a deceptively easy book to read -- a bit like last generation's medical-center satire, "The House of God." The latter, once described as "Catch-22" with stethoscopes, employed dark humor to mount a devastating indictment of the way physicians were trained in the 1970s. The ambitions of "Prot U" are not as large, but the book subjects academia to a similar farcical viewpoint, offering campus life as a microcosm of the perennial clash between politics and social responsibility.

For this reason, the book is fun to read simply as a short and well-paced novel about the colorful characters fictional Protestant U has brought together for a single academic season. However, the fact that the story is set in Texas allows the reader to infer a wry and subversive commentary on the corporate style of administration that emerged under the Bush governorship, and the difficulty of journalists to buck the system on which their livelihoods depended.

As a journalist herself who has worked in Texas, Rumpf knows this territory well, and she clearly enjoyed the opportunity to skewer some of the class and social roles that Texas culture appears to encourage. The book manages, however, to keep its humor light, skirting the mean-spiritedness of genuinely black comedy. At its core is a warm affection for the unsung heroes of our time, whose refusal to delegate individual responsibility to the corporate body always has its price.

Come to Prot U .......2004-08-30

A wry look at the collegiate scene. The author obviously had way too much fun writing the climax, and the journey there is swift and enjoyable.

The setting may be a fictional place in Texas, but the events and characters have a ring of truth which is too close for comfort. While human foibles are there, so too are the caring and courageous. This distillation of experience is like a fine cognac, smooth and tasty.

A memorable and enjoyable visit to our campuses.
