Fundamentals of Confusion.......2007-09-13

Before I purchased this textbook it would have been necessary to know that a work book (Working Papers) had to accompany the textbook. Because it came with a CD I thought "How clever!" That would contain all the work book pages and a student would learn how to do data entry using software. But no. In the textbook there was no introductory section detailing how the CD was to coordinate with the textbook, just assignments within lessons that had to be completed within something called working papers. And it takes 4-6 weeks for the Workbook to arrive. I'm homeschoolong and this is very, very aggravating.

Book Description

These studies of the cost of capital will inspire and guide policy-makers who share the goal of making the allocation of capital in a market economy more efficient.

Volume 1 presents pioneering studies of the cost of capital as a determinant of investment expenditures. The cost of capital summarizes the future consequences of investment essential for current decisions. This concept has become an indispensible tool for studying the dynamics of investment behavior. Both macroeconome tric models and intertemporal general equilibrium models have employed the cost of capital as a determinant of short- and long-term investment expenditures.

Book Description

Central Bank to the European Union outlines and discusses the structure of the new central bank: The European Monetary Institute (EMI), the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and the European Central Bank (ECB). These three will form the institutional basis of the EMU. The EMI is already established (January 1, 1994), and will serve as the interim entity to prepare the final system. Since the Maastricht Treaty forms the main basis for the EMU, its provisions are outlined and discussed, as are subsidiary and complementary materials from the Council of Ministers and the European Council. These include the decisions and regulations relating to the existing European Monetary System (EMS). The book further includes other detailed information on the structure, functions and tasks of the new system and its main components. It also provides background information on the EM and the existing ecu (personal and official), and a comprehensive appendix containing the most important materials on the EMU.

Book Description

The basics through practical application—all in one book!

Potatoes are a crucial food crop around the world, grown in nearly 150 countries. The Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management compiles everything you need to know about potato crop production in one well-organized reference. Leading international authorities clearly discuss the biology, genetics, breeding, diseases, and effective approaches for improvement of crop and handling after harvest. This one-of-a-kind text explores, from interdisciplinary perspectives, every aspect of potato crop management from seed germination to end use while presenting the most current research available.

The Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management reviews both wild and cultivated potatoes, examining the crop's origins, history, and habitat. Cultivation techniques are discussed in detail, with emphasis on breeding, biotechnological, and agronomic methods that can improve yield and help ensure the health of the vegetable. Qualitative and quantitative genetic traits are comprehensively explained, and integrated management of pests, diseases, weed, and water are extensively considered. Various abiotic stresses are examined, including heat, drought, salinity, frost, and others. Potato crop's most devastating disease, late blight, is explored in detail. Different types of after-harvest storage are analyzed with an eye toward maintaining optimum freshness year-round, and a useful description of biochemical changes effected during storage is included. Processing and detailed information on food value are also reviewed. In addition, a final chapter explores true potato seed (TPS) options. The book includes detailed references and helpful tables, graphs, and figures to enhance understanding of material.

Topics in the Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management include:

history

structure

biosystematics

genetics

breeding

biotechnology for improvement

approaches to improve quality

ecophysiology and agronomic management

comprehensive information on diseases and viruses

insects

abiotic stresses and their management

storage issues

processing

and much more!

Fascinating Chemistry.......2005-10-14

I really enjoyed this book. Though slow at times, it was livened up with witty anectdotes and mature bathroom humor. The book describes the chemistry of everything from why your urine is yellow to how voodoo zombies actually occur. You will find out more than you wanted to know about everyday chemistry, and it might change your views on some things. The story of the namesake of the book describes the use of high density plastics to make radars work in airplanes, to build hula hoops, and high density plastic balls for pigs.

Excellent all-round entertaining read........2004-08-01

Surprisingly, a book about science that is unbiased, very informative and an easy and enjoyable read! I would most definitely recommend this book to anybody with an interest in not just science and chemistry but also to those who wonder how modern society got to where it is. You'll find information about everyday items found around the house and in the workplace that is insightful, interesting and applicable to everybody. Not to mention the added bonus of being able to surprise your acquaintances with fascinating small talk! A surefire pleasing read for anyone.

Absolutely wonderful!!!.......2003-08-06

This is perfect for anyone interested in how various products were developed, health aspects of chemistry, or the history of various chemical discoveries. As a high school science teacher I am always looking for anecdotes regarding various science topics. This is perfect!! Lots of fun!
Thanks Joe.

Fun and illuminating for the chemist and non-chemist alike.......2002-11-18

Dr. Schwarcz is well-known throughout Canada (and especially, the University of McGill in Montreal) as being the consummate chemistry lecturer. His courses are filled with anecdotes, demonstrations, and humour. He has translated his infectious interest in chemistry to the written word, and the result is a fascinating book that you will enjoy reading, and likely refer to again and again when someone asks, "I wonder why....?" As the title promises, the book is a series of short anecdotes about a variety of chemical subjects. For example, the titular "radar, hula hoops, and playful pigs" gives the connection between these three items (airborne radar, hula hoops, and pig playtoys are all made from the same polymer). The majority of the essays revolve around health, probably reflecting both the author's training (as a carbohydrate chemist) and society's bias.

Schwarcz has two underlying, scientific themes. Science in general, and chemistry in particular, is neither good nor evil - it's the context/use of chemistry that gives a moral distinction. Likewise, chemical effects are generally driven by amount - arsenic is not poisonous in low enough concentrations, while water is deadly under certain conditions (if inhaled, for example). The second point is to make the reader a skeptical consumer. He gives numerous examples of good science vs. bad science - a product trotting out "testimonials" is not evidence that it will work in all cases (or even in the majority of cases!). That's not to say the book gets bogged down in details. His writing style is sharp, witty, and concise. The book can be picked up and read from any point, and you'll still learn something interesting.

I am a chemist, and can assure the chemists considering this book that the science is accurate. It's not the standard sugar-coated fare that appears on television. Likewise, a non-scientist will be able to easily understand the material because Schwarcz never resorts to lingo without first explaining it (for "proof" I point to my mother, who was an English major in university and who enjoyed the parts of the book she's read). Therefore, this book can be recommended to the widest audience, and all will find it informative and enjoyable.

At Last: Chemistry for Humans!.......2001-10-14

I love this book! I can't wait to read the sequel! Dr. Schwarcz has a way of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, and making you actually care about chemistry. His secret is that instead of lecturing about chemistry for chemistry's sake, he uses chemistry to make sense of the nagging little questions of everyday life (Why is shampoo so foamy? Why does skunk smell come back the day after you wash it off your dog?). He also brings to light the people behind chemical discoveries, and has a knack for showing how their personal quirks led them to discoveries that changed the world. If you like chemistry, you will like this book. If you HATE chemistry (like I do) you will love this book!

Not good at all.......2002-04-24

Want to learn topological field theory? Better read Witten's original paper and other papers on geometric quantization. This book is extremely unclear, not well-organized, with a number of mistakes.
