Decent Text for the Practitioner.......2007-04-09

This updated text contains many of the standard processes that are applied by financial experts. Moreover, it also contains updates on more recent case law and their applications to various topics. This book contains a wide variety of topics - which could be a good thing or a bad thing. On the bright side, you get a feel for a bunch of things. However, it doesn't cover some topics adequately because, maybe, of the fear of coming up with a 3000 page book.

There are certain things that I found helpful. I found the appendix to the regression chapter extremely useful, where the authors list out the types of regression issues and how courts have ruled on them. The section on securities litigation is also well-written, but I feel it could be expanded on more.

A lot of information, but not-so-well explained..........2005-04-13

With an undergrad degree in chemistry and a year of graduate school (granted, without a focus solely in biochemistry), this text was often difficult for me to follow and gain much from. Though the text contained an impressive breadth of topics, this breadth came at the cost of depth. In my opinion, a textbook should more-or-less stand on its own in providing a clear understanding of a topic. All too often I didn't find this to be the case with the Fersht book. Instead, I often had to consult many of the references listed in the text to obtain sufficient understanding of topics. (Fortunately, the book includes extensive reference lists.) If looking up endless references (many old and sometimes difficult to obtain) is something you enjoy, this book is for you.--If not, forget it!

Highly recommend it.......2003-08-31

Hands down the bible of enzyme kinetics!

Anyone looking to learn more about enzyme kinetics, thermodynamics, structure, and function will find this book clear, thoughtfully written, and at the forefront in the field.

essential.......2002-05-01

If you are studying protein structure, you probably should read this book for reference.

This is solely my opinion, but I have learned new things and reinforced some old knowledge, as well. The book is well-written, and understandable, without being simplistic.

Some texts are difficult to understand, or dry, or facile. This is not one of those texts.

Biochemists Can't Miss.......2001-08-23

The book focuses on enzyme catalysis, stereochemistry of enzyme reactions, determination of rate constant, enzyme kinetics, and protein structure and folding. It would be an ideal reference for the study of protein chemistry. It can serve as the primary text for an advanced course in protein chemistry or a supplement for undergraduate biochemistry text.

Protein folding has remained one of the most intricate yet less understood process in modern biochemistry. Feersht's treatise of the subject in this book is splendid. The author overviews protein structure and diversity in the opening chapter. What I find really precious about this book is the discussion on protein engineering, forces on folding, and recombinant DNA technology in the context of protein folding.

Aside from protein chemistry, the chapter on chemical catalysis is excellent in learning more about transition state theory, general acid/base catalysis, covalent catalysis, structure-reactivity relationships, and kinetic isotope effects.

The Mother of All Enzyme Books.......2001-01-10

Man, this book rocked! I took one look at the ribbon structure of ATPase on the cover and said to myself, "Whoa dude! This is, like, phat!" Then I turned the pages and BAM! I was knee deep in protein structure! Like, any first-year biochemist knows its all about the acids, as in amino, and Fersht, he knows his peptides! Oh man, I was on cloud nine! And I've been off my meds for two months now! But you wanna know the real dope? You can't say diddly about function unless you know structure, and that Alan, as in Fersht, dude! Like, he starts you off simple, like, you know, with the "building blocks," like we're a bunch of two-year-olds, and you string 'em together and get all that higher-order structure and stuff, and slowly, ever so slowly, like a mental itch that invades your consciousness and becomes screaming voices telling you to AHHHHHHHHH! So many domains! Too many functional units! No, no, nooooooo! Schiff base? Shift Bass! Ah HA HA HA HA! What do all those K's mean!?! Take me home! Please...

Book Description

This book represents the most comprehensive description of the physical foundations of methods and instruments in the fields of passive remote sensing applied to investigations of the Earth, Solar system bodies and space. Emphasis is placed on the physical aspects necessary to judge the possibilities and limitations of passive remote sensing methods in specific observation cases. Numerous practical applications and illustrations are given referring to airspace up-to-date experiments. Due to the lack in traditional separation on methods and instruments of remote sensing of the Earth and outerterrestrial space this book aims to supply more information in this field.

Book Description

There is no question that the field of solid state electronics, which essentially began with work at Bell laboratories just after World War II, has had a profound impact on today's Society. What is not nearly so widely known is that advances in the art and science of crystal growth underpin this technology. Single crystals, once valued only for their beauty, are now found, in one form or another in most electronic, optoelectronic and numerous optical devices. These devices, in turn, have permeated almost every home and village throughout the world. In fact it is hard to imagine what our electronics industry, much less our entire civilization, would have been like if crystal growth scientists and engineers were unable to produce the large, defect free crystals required by device designers.

This book brings together two sets of related articles describing advances made in crystal growth science and technology since World War II. One set is from the proceedings of a Symposium held in August 2002 to celebrate 50 years of progress in the field of crystal growth. The second contains articles previously published in the newsletter of the American Association for Crystal Growth in a series called "Milestones in Crystal Growth".

The first section of this book contains several articles which describe some of the early history of crystal growth prior to the electronics revolution, and upon which modern crystal growth science and technology is based. This is followed by a special article by Prof. Sunagawa which provides some insight into how the successful Japanese crystal growth industry developed. The next section deals with crystal growth fundamentals including concepts of solute distribution, interface kinetics, constitutional supercooling, morphological stability and the growth of dendrites. The following section describes the growth of crystals from melts and solutions, while the final part involves thin film growth by MBE and OMVPE.

These articles were written by some of the most famous theorists and crystal growers working in the field. They will provide future research workers with valuable insight into how these pioneering discoveries were made, and show how their own research and future devices will be based upon these developments.

Book Description

Art/ Fiction. "In an age where most artists blend in and sell themselves out for a quarter, Document Zippo is more than refreshing, it is shocking and exhilarating"-John S. Hall, from the introduction. DOCUMENT ZIPPO, like Ambrose Bierce's DEVIL'S DICTIONARY, is "an onomasticon, hard at work in the fields of consumerism, language and dread." Sexual, authoritative, and probing, the mind of L.A. Ruocco is "awfully alive" in this book that is at once an artist's book, a flipbook, an intensely personal narrative, and a catalogue of the blemishes and scars on our late-20th-century culture. The numerous narrative threads in the book range from digestion to designer condoms, progressing through linguistic play, varied typefaces, and pictures.

"In an age where most artists blend in and sell themselves out for a quarter, Document Zippo is more than refreshing, it is shocking and exhilarating." John S. Hall"

La Ruocco is Art Literary Masterpeice.......2004-12-29

you can't please all of the people all of the time, all the Neoist-revolutionaries, Christian-Bible-fundamentalist & the post-structuralist atheist xenomorphologists but Laruocco comes close in her Masterpiece. Laroque is an art of thinking outside the wig, once she calibrates the wig -to- contextual box ratio at 0. ref. Zippo p.159, & `Linguistics 101, meaning & proximity' p.116.

if you can get past all the Ass, & "the crack in the constipated spine of the book," & sustain the Literal & metaphoric overlaps & the `Dantéfication' © 1999 of language into the trinity of the fat, protein & the carbohydrate -- into calorie & the identity complexity... it is an amazing & entertaining journey,
written when La Ruocco used normal sentences & paragraphs which she diverges from in her later Work: "Xero, turn-of-the-millenia."

Zippo is about compulsion, it starts out about an obsession w/ underwear, & bodily functions that includes sex, masturbation & coffee drinking, & writing in the café w/ Gabriel Lockwood who lets her use his typewriter
& ends w/ the escape through the Bowels of the planet when she finally finds a flushing toilet in Morocco.

Document Zippo is a glossy paged book filled with diagrams & drawings & photos that may keep enlightening & refreshing to a mind caught-up in decision & consumerism.

doomsday sex..........2000-03-06

Miss Ruocco writes as if she is reporting on the demise of sex, and yet manages to turn the subject upside-down and make it more interesting than usual. In her capable hands this book becomes a catalog of taboo secrets and fantasies. Compelling stuff.

The best bathroom reading ever.......1999-06-13

Like any great bathroom book, you can start at any point in the book and read as much as time allows. It could turn into a few hours though. Then, spend another hour looking at yourself naked in the mirror.

She's obsessed and scataological, and great!.......1999-04-28

Ruocco is obsessed with her rear end, to the point of mania. Quite a scatological book -- at least the first third. Recommeded for those interested in the 21st century wave of avant-pop, avant-porn, post-pos-post-modernist writing. Ruocco is the new Kathy Acker.

If you have a fetish for books this novel is for you.......1999-02-11

LA Ruocco is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century
