Book Description

Die Abhandlung beleuchtet das für Europäer immer noch exotische Zeitverständnis der Japaner. Zur Vermittlung der geschichtlichen und soziologischen Voraussetzungen stellt der Autor die Werke der führenden japanischen Philosophen sowie Rechtswissenschaftler vor. Die Analyse führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass der Zeitbegriff im Bewußtsein der Japaner seit Beginn der landesweiten Modernisierung janusköpfig gestaltet ist: Einerseits wurde versucht, die Zukunftsorientiertheit der Japaner durch den totalen Bruch mit ihrer Vergangenheit herbeizuführen. Andererseits wurde jedoch zugleich ihre Sehnsucht nach dem Japanisch-Kaiserlichen als Symbol ihrer gemeinsamen Vergangenheit gestärkt. Diese Zwiespältigkeit trat nach Ansicht des Autors immer dann offen zutage, wenn die Beschleunigung der gesellschaftlichen Integration in Japan dringend geboten war.

Book Description

The legends of the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades that poets, priests, prophets, shamans, storytellers, artists, singers, and historians have told throughout time are retold in this compilation of the stories that have found their inspiration in nine beautiful stars clustered together in the night sky. While particular attention in this cross-cultural study is paid to the influence of the Pleiades cluster on the living traditions of indigenous people in North America, Australia, Japan, and the Pacific, much ancient mythology passed down through written and visual sources from ancient Egypt, India, Greece, and South America is also explored. Appearances of the myths in the modern world are also mentioned, including American presidential elections, Halloween, Atlantis, the Titanic, and Subaru automobiles. Serious astronomical research complements the variety of mythological explanations for the stars' existence by providing the modern world's scientific understanding of them.

Seven Sisters of the Pleiades-- FANTASTIC BOOK.......2007-09-10

This is a great book that belongs in every library with interest in women, multi-cultural studies, indigenous peoples, or the lore of the skies and planets. Amazing book.

Book Description

Science as Public Culture joins a growing number of recent studies examining science as a practical activity in specific social settings. Professor Golinski considers the development of chemistry in Britain in the period from 1760 to 1820, and relates it to the rise and subsequent eclipse of forms of civic life characteristic of the European Enlightenment. Within this framework the careers of prominent chemists such as William Cullen, Joseph Black, Joseph Priestly, Thomas Beddoes, and Humphry Davy are interpreted in a new light. The major discoveries of the time, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and the electrical decomposition of water, are set against the background of alternative ways of constructing science as a public enterprise. The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the relations between scientific activity and processes of social and political change in a period of great transformations in chemistry and in the conditions of public life.

Book Description

Genes VII gives an integrated and authoritative account of the structure and function of genes. It is thoroughly up to date with the latest research and thinking in the field. Successive editions have provided an integrated account of the whole field of modern molecular genetics and this edition continues that approach, providing a new synthesis and continuing the greater emphasis on how genes function in their biological context. In a change to all previous editions, which started with a traditional analysis of formal genetics, this seventh edition has been organised to present the subject in the context of the eukaryotic gene as revealed in the last decade, an analysis based directly on the molecular properties of the gene itself. From the Preface: "The thesis of Genes is that only by understanding the structure and function of the gene itself will we be able in turn to understand the operation of the genome as a whole. Although the emphasis has shifted to the characterization of eukaryotic genes, and therefore to their analysis by the direct techniques of molecular biology rather than the subtlety of genetics, the classical approach remains intellectually penetrating. It remains an aim of this book to integrate both approaches in the context of a unified approach to prokaryotes and eukaryotes."

Genes.......2005-08-31

The organization of this book is horrible and the explanations are not student friendly. You could buy this book if you wanted to fill your bookshelves for aethetics reasons only, but if you want to learn about genes, get another book which is student friendly.

the best book.......2003-08-22

In my opinion it is the best book i have partly read by far and every time when i have a free time i intrestingly like to read this book. In fact, i have found it very usefull to undrestand basic meaning of celular and molecular phenomenons and genes.

Great book.......2003-07-10

This book is well written and provides an excellent introduction to the subject matter. It's a comprehensive text for anyone who wishes to gain a thorough exposure to the genes, genomes and gene regulation. However, this book does have it's drawbacks. Recent advances in genomics maybe covered on a later textbook. Perfect for an undergraduate or a beginning grad student. I suggest this book as a companion for a more comprehesive text such MBOC by alberts et al. If you are faced with a choice of either alberts or Genes VII, I suggest alberts. For the seasoned molecular biologist I urge you to look elsewhere.

Good.......2003-02-04

This book is useful but if your new to genetics and want a nice reference book that is easy to read I recommend "Concepts of Genetics" by Klug and Cummings. I have the 6th version and even though it is not as popular as Lewin's texts it reads well and has great pictures.

Genes 7- A Primer For the Beginner.......2003-02-04

Lewin has excellent figures and gives you the basics in Genes VII. Recently he's gotten into this pay for info on his website. Buy the book but don't get involved in his website.

Book Description

The LNCS journal Transactions on Computational Systems Biology is devoted to inter- and multidisciplinary research in the fields of computer science and life sciences and supports a paradigmatic shift in the techniques from computer and information science to cope with the new challenges arising from the systems oriented point of view of biological phenomena.

This volume, the 7th in the Transactions on Computational Systems Biology series, contains a fully-refereed and carefully selected set of papers from the two workshops BioConcur 2004 held in London, UK in August 2004 and BioConcur 2005 held in San Francisco, CA, USA in August 2005.

The 8 papers selected for this special issue are devoted to various aspects of computational methods, algorithms and techniques in bioinformatics such as modeling of signalling pathways, gene regulation in pi-calculus, relations between regulator graphs and Petri nets, translation of SBML models to stochastic pi-calculus, use of graph theory to model biological networks, distributed model checking with biochemical Kripke structures, graphical notation for stochastic pi-calculus, as well as differentiation and homeostatic behavior of boolean dynamic systems.

Book Description

OH LORD! IT'S THE MILLENNIUM

Upset about corruption in the Capital, semen stains on the White House carpet and undeclared wars by the government, a group of college coeds and veterans from several wars team up with some Jesus people to call attention to this "unholy state, by running Jesus Christ for president.

When the Lord wins, all hell breaks loose as everyone from both major political parties, the Pope to the Jewish community try to sway the Jesus Party for a vice presidency until the Lord returns.

A 1976 version of this titled, Jesus! He's Our President, inspired college students from three Illinois universities to launch a write-in campaign forJesus. The University of Wisconsin - Racine used the book in all of its freshman English classes to study satire. More than 35,000 copies were sold in the Greater Chicago area.
