Fabulous Resource.......2006-04-13

The process of bringing new talent into an organization is essential and vital for an organizations success. Too often we think we're asking the right questions when hiring employees. We dig deep during the interview process to learn what the person has done in the past, and whey they are right for this position. We use our best judgment to sort through the contrast between our perceptions and reality - hoping to find the truth - and most of all hoping to unearth the best candidates to fill positions.

Yet this seemingly simple task of asking questions and listening to the answer is actually riddled with more challenges than meets the eye. Peter Gray and John Carroll, in this easy to read and use book, get at the heart of what it's all about.

Our "dictionaries for performance" are often limited and therefore what we go after during our assessment process is often limited to what we know from our own experience. The Pocket Idiots Guide to Performance Appraisal Phrases is a great book to expand "our dictionary on performance" and there for give us a whole new palette for seeing potential candidates and employees in a new and fresh way. This tool applies to all phases of the employment process. I highly recommend it!

Peter Gray and John H. Carroll's "Pocket Idiot's Guide to Performance Appraisal Phrases" is much more than you might expect from the title. It isn't just a listing of phrases, although it certainly includes quite a few of those. It includes information on understanding what the root of a performance problem is. For instance, if an employee is failing at a task because you didn't give him enough information to figure out exactly what you wanted, or enough resources to achieve the task, then berating him for failing isn't going to result in much improvement. The book provides a very balanced look at figuring out where a breakdown in communications might lie, or how to make the best use of a given employee.

The authors also include plenty of information on planning and holding your meeting--from scheduling it to planning the length to setting it up in order to achieve the effect you want. Included is some particularly helpful information on figuring out the major communication styles of your employees, and using this information to decide how best to tell them what you want them to know.

Even the phrases themselves are more than just empty lists. They're listed alphabetically by trait (things like Communication--Oral, Giving and Receiving Feedback, Problem-Solving, etc.), with a list of both positive and negative phrases accompanying each, as well as a description of the relevant skill. A wide variety of phrases are included so that they can apply to an equally wide variety of personality types, situations, and jobs. For instance, there are phrases to apply to everything from assembly-line factory jobs to management positions. Skills addressed include "soft" skills such as relationship-building, as well as sensitive issues such as personal hygiene.

There are just a couple of minor inconsistencies and typos, but nothing more than momentary confusion. Overall this is a very useful book.

Review time comes with mixed emotions, you want to be able to give your employees feedback, but you don't want to take them away from the things they are receving feedback. This book gives you many of the tools to help make performance reviews quick and easy. I was amazed by how many of the thoughts I had were already written out for me in this handbook. A must have for those looking to make reviews easier.

A very helpful guide.......2006-03-25

Sometimes it is really hard to come up with the right phrase, especially when giving negative feedback. This book offered some great advice and sample phrases which worked for me. While doing performance appraisals is never a pleasure, I got through mine this year much faster than I have in past years.

A Strange Perspective.......2006-10-15

When a story is told through one man's writings, in this case like rather sporadic journal entries, there is always some question about how much his personal perceptions have colored the "facts" which he is describing. In Ralph A. Sperry's Status Quotient: The Carrier, this is even more so than usual. The "writer"/main character, Ancil Mekthedden, has a rare genetic disorder that makes him a regenerative. While many of us would welcome a condition whose symptoms include agelessness, immunity to disease, and rapid healing ( up to regenerating lost limbs ), because of the culture into which he is born, Ancil finds it primarily a source of shame and embarrassment, something to be hidden even from his closest friends and lovers. And this proves to have been justified when, after thousands of years of relative peacefulness and extremely low crime levels, his world erupts into a "disturbance" that has everyone killing each other and putting buildings to the torch, many with cries of "Burn the regeneratives" on their lips.

Ancil flees to the backwoods lodge of his father, once one of the most powerful men in the government, and hides from a world which he believes has completely destroyed itself. Because he had been a somewhat successful writer, he still occaisionally puts down his thoughts on what paper he has left, though he is certain that they will never be read by anyone but himself, and it is in his flashbacks that we learn about his world and its ending. As the story continues, however, we become progressively less sure about the state of Ancil's mind, eventually leaving us to wonder: Was he more traumatized by the events of the disturbace than he realizes? Are the alien Imitators native to this planet using him as a subject of their mind control experiments? If a man's sanity falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

From the back cover:

Immortal... and alone.

On the entire planet of Ath, there is only one building left, and inside it is the last human being, Ancil, the only man to escape the horror which destroyed the human colonists who came to Ath thousands of years ago. Ancil is a regenerative. He can never die, but will live to see everything change with time.

Ancil is utterly, utterly alone except for the haunting legacy of the Imitators, man-like creatures whose planet this once was before the humans came and annihilated them.

Suddenly, a strange and beautiful cat arrives at Ancil's home, the first living creature he has seen for many years. But the cat is just the first of the extraordinary phenomena about to enter Ancil's life -- and before his story's over, you will wonder where the mind ends and reality begins...

Book Description

Mammals first evolved at about the same time as dinosaurs, and their story is perhaps the more fascinating of the two--in part because it is also our own story. In this literate and entertaining book, eminent naturalist David Rains Wallace brings the saga of ancient mammals to a general audience for the first time. Using artist Rudolph Zallinger's majestic The Age of Mammals mural at the Peabody Museum as a frame for his narrative, Wallace deftly moves over varied terrain--drawing from history, science, evolutionary theory, and art history--to present a lively account of fossil discoveries and an overview of what those discoveries have revealed about early mammals and their evolution.
In these pages we encounter towering mammoths, tiny horses, giant-clawed ground sloths, whales with legs, uintatheres, zhelestids, and other exotic extinct creatures as well as the scientists who discovered and wondered about their remains. We meet such memorable figures as Georges Cuvier, Richard Owen, Edward D. Cope, George Gaylord Simpson, and Stephen Jay Gould and learn of their heated disputes, from Cuvier's and Owen's fights with early evolutionists to present controversies over the Late Cretaceous mass extinction. Wallace's own lifelong interest in evolution is reflected in the book's evocative and engaging style and in the personal experiences he expertly weaves into the tale, providing an altogether expansive perspective on what Darwin described as the "grandeur" of evolution.

Good but not great.......2006-12-06

I think the biggest disappointment I had with this book was the lack of pictures. Sure, partly my fault because I didn't notice that there were only 18 black and white illustrations, but when a book uses two very famous murals as a starting point and then doesn't have 1 color picture of the murals, I am disappointed. The pictures from the Age of Mammals were muddy at best.

The writing was average. Wallace is no stylist but he is a solid writer conveying technical information.

I picked up this book after I read an article on Buffon in Natural History so I was surprised at how Wallace treated him. Now I need to know more about Buffon to see which representation is more accurate.

The book is a couple of years old but the only thing I noticed was the comment that mammals were small and rat-like during the Age of Reptiles. Within the past 2 years there have been several large mammal species discovered which co-existed with the dinosaurs. Although not megafauna, they were over three feet in length and preyed on dinosaurs.

Rollin' dem mammal bones.......2006-11-16

For every book about mammal fossils, it seems there are 10 or 20 about dinosaurs; and popular books about sharks outnumber books about flounders by about 100 to one.
"A thundering brute gets our attention," says naturalist David Wallace, but "fights over mammal fossils have probably played a greater part in the growth of evolutionary ideas than any other paleontological phenomenon."
Fights about mammalian evolution cut to the quick in ways that uncertainties about the evolution of, say, oysters do not.
And the duelists in the mammal wars were a colorful, feisty bunch. Natural history was red in tooth, claw and inkwell when the likes of Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope competed for fossils.
The stories about Marsh and Cope, about Alfred Wegener and continental drift, about punctuated equilibrium and the old guard have all been told before, though seldom with as much style.
The appeal of Wallace's "Beasts of Eden" is that it brings the controversies almost down to the minute. Mammalian evolution is "still a mystery story," but many of the "gaping holes" have been plugged in the last decade as bone hunters invaded virgin territory.
When Charles Darwin published "Origin of Species" in 1859, the paleontological record was almost all gaps, though the theory of "descent with modification" was supported by a wide array of other evidence, such as the distribution of living plants and animals.
But there were few bones. It is a testimony to the analytical power of comparative anatomy that the 19th century bone men made so few mistakes. There were, still are difficult cases; but even after a flood of new fossils was dug up, most of the affinities that were first inferred are still compatible with all the latest evidence.
Wallace takes the whole world for his study, but his launching point is a fresco, "The Age of Mammals," painted at the Yale Peabody Museum in the 1960s by Rudolph Zallinger.
Zallinger's bigger and earlier "Age of Reptiles" in the same museum is better known, but most of us have seen reproductions of Zallinger's mammal painting, even if we don't know his name.
Both frescoes re-create the American West, whence the best and most Peabody fossils came.
Zallinger's scientific advisers were among the top paleontologists of the time, but the painter apparently placed his specimens in landscapes to tell a story, not just present unconnected portraits. At least, Wallace is able to analyze the iconography of Zallinger the way a Berenson would a tercento Italian fresco.
But Zallinger left no written statement, and some of Wallace's deductions seem fanciful.
However that may be, "Beasts of Eden" is, with one exception, a reliable guide to the shifting interpretations of the fossil record, a continuation of a story that many of us heard first long ago when the evidence was less detailed. The book also presents a charming personal account of Wallace's encounters with living animals over the decades.
The exception comes in the chapter that should have been the most valuable in the book.
Anti-evolutionists never mention plants, because plant evolution neither threatens nor interests them. Real naturalists do take account of plants, although popular books about fossil plants are rare.
While "Beasts of Eden" is mostly about mammals, Wallace does include a chapter on the plant evidence.
This contains a shocking misconception for a book published by the press of one of our great universities when Wallace tries to explain the significance of the evolution of grasses in a cooling, drying world for the evolution of mammals.
Grasses use carbon by what is called the C4 pathway, as opposed to earlier-evolved plants which use the far less efficient C3 pathway.
But these monikers are not, as Wallace supposes, isotope numbers -- those atomic numbers would fit hydrogen or helium -- but simply arbitrary labels; and the way the pathways are used in paleontology has nothing to do with the differences in the isotopes of carbon, such as the famous carbon-14.
The superefficiency in carbon oxidation of the C4 path accounts for the superiority of slender grasses over mighty oaks, in many environments; and the way grasses store starch has a big part in how the mammals reading this review get by. So C4 is really important.
That warning aside, "Beasts" is a fine survey.

More about recent human mammals!.......2005-04-28

Do not buy this if you want an overview of mammalian evolution. Most of the text is devoted to the humans that found the first mammalian fossils and how they inspired the AGE OF MAMMALS mural at the Peabody Museum. A great deal of the text is quotes of early paleontologists (Owen, Cope, Marsh, et al.), and when the actual mammals are mentioned, the reader is referred to the mural. Unfortunately, if you haven't committed the mural to memory, or you haven't studied mammalian evolution, you may have a tough time following the text, as there are few illustrations. If you are interested in the history of the discovery of these early mammal fossils, you may enjoy this book more than I. If, however, you are more interested in the evolution and systematics of those mammals, you may want to reconsider. In fact, I would recommend searching for a more thorough text(s) regarding these paleoworkers. There are other books that examine the Cope and Marsh battle from a broader platform, and there are numerous biographies of Owen, Huxley, Darwin, Cuvier and other covered in this book. This is not a book worthy of a paleontologist's library, but your local library should have a copy.

You'd better be in the field..........2005-03-28

On plus side, I learned a lot from reading this book. At times, it's extremely interesting and delightful to read. At times it grinds like a college text book. If you don't have a great background on the subject matter---paleontology---you're going to have a struggle with terms and names. I called it "that damn book" because I wanted to finish it, which I did, but I can't say it was fun. It deserves 3 or better stars because it's well-researched and written---just too technical for the layperson and not that enjoyable to slog through. In other words, when called to dinner, you'll be able to put it down but you won't want to give up entirely.

Not exactly what I expected, but still excellent.......2005-01-19

If you are looking for a survey of mammal species, a sort of wildlife guide, "Beast of Eden" is probably not the book for you. While author David Rains Wallace does offer interesting insight into a variety of different animals, this isn't a detailed zoological guide. Rather it is a survey of the development of theories of mammal evolution, which is interesting in its own right, but not entirely clear from the title.

That said Wallace has painted an amazing portrait, and I use this metaphor purposely. He has used Rudolph Zallinger's "Age of Mammals" mural from Yale's Peabody Museum to frame his discussion. As someone who grew up in New Haven and spent countless visits to the museum marveling at the mural and its associated specimens, I couldn't have been more delighted by this decision.

This approach serves a double purpose, the obvious one being that the mural's rather sophisticated visual portrayal of mammal evolution provides a nice counterpoint to Wallace's discussion. However, it also is inextricably tied the overall discussion as O.C. Marsh was in many ways the founder of North American paleontology and also the head of paleontology at Yale and the Peabody museum. His so called "bone-wars" with Edgar Cope of The American Museum of Natural History (among other locales) drove the development of numerous theories of mammal evolution, and while their rivalry was childish at best and the theater of the absurd at worst, it provided a dynamic environment which drove a host of brilliant paleontologists to their chosen field.

These bone-wars, and Darwin's theory of evolution provide the jumping off point for a survey of mammal evolution and it's associated theories. From neo-creationist arguments to Gould's punctuated equilibrium, Wallace provides a step by step evaluation of the rise and ebb of various arguments, and quite interestingly, links them into a whole. All too often, scientific theories are treated as emerging fully formed, as if from a vacuum, and while that occasionally occurs, it is more the exception than the rule. What Wallace has created in "Beasts of Eden" is a history of the evolution of evolutionary theory. In effect, this is a tribute to all the minds who have contributed to our understanding of who we are.

The primary reason that he is successful in this endeavor is that he is able to link species studied by one era/scientist to another. For example, Marsh was a student of horse evolution, and Wallace is able to trace the growth of this field as different scientists add to the base he provided. From linear progressions of ever ascending species, to parallel lines of evolution to cladistic diagrams and genetic analysis, Wallace presents evolution as we understand it today by explaining the journey.

I should warn that while not a scientific article, Wallace makes free use of scientific terms and quotes from scholarly sources. While one hardly need be a PhD to absorb and appreciate this work, some grounding in the life sciences will definitely make "Beasts of Eden" a more accessible work.

As I said before, "Beasts of Eden" isn't what it at first appears to be, but if you can stick with it, it provides a fascinating history of mammal paleontology. If the history of science isn't you're cup of tea, this may not be up your alley, but the framework it provides for future explorations in mammal speciation makes it a worthy addition to your bookshelf.

Book Description

This is the second volume of an advanced handbook on experimental molecular beam methods. As a continuation of the first volume, which covered general beam techniques and molecular beam scattering, the second volume covers beam spectroscopy and surface scattering. Both volumes, together or separately, can be used both as a reference book in the laboratory and as a supplementary text in graduate courses in chemical dynamics, spectroscopy and gas-surface interactions. In the present volume, the section on spectroscopy deals mainly with beam-laser interactions, but Fourier transform methods are covered as well. While the section on surface scattering deals primarily with crystalline surfaces, a separate chapter presents material on disordered surfaces. The emphasis of the book is on experimental methods, including data analysis and calibrations. However, the theory underlying the most common measurements is also presented to allow for the understanding of the numerous examples provided. Topics such as sub-doppler spectroscopy, photodissociation, molecular beam-masers, inelastic and reactive gas-surface collisions and others are discussed in detail. The text continues the study begun in Volume One, which focused on general beam technology and gas-gas scattering.

computational quantum chemistry.......2005-07-28

The "handbook" is really 3 volumes. The cost of it strongly suggests that the main buyers will be libraries, rather than individuals. With over 100 papers, the book is very up to date. Its theme is one intersection of physics and chemistry. At a level where the molecules are being modelled with quantum mechanics.

There is an extensive and detailed explanation of how one goes about building the electronic structure of the molecules. Essentially, the book is mostly about computational quantum chemistry. For all the practical cases involve the extensive use of computers to find the eigenfunctions or orbitals.

From these, we see a buildup into a resultant spectroscopy. Where the latter might be used as diagnostic tools to infer molecular structure.

There is also discussion how, at a higher level [ie. larger length scales], the quantum mechanical modelling can be averaged out into a classical molecular dynamics approach. Where the latter retains enough realism to be useful. And with the advantage that more molecules can be modelled.
