Nothing to write home about..........2007-04-27

If, by chance, you have never had to put together a resume this book will provide you with excellent step-by-step instruction. There is a section that assists in gathering the essentials of who you are and incorporating that information into a single document. There is also a portion of the book that provides a rather substantial list of "action words" to help you bulk up your resume. The resume samples are fairly decent, but not anything striking. They are definitely professional looking, but they probably won't make you stick out from the pack.

Let me tell you, that I have just read through four resume books specifically aimed at teachers (this book, the one listed below, Resumes and Cover Letters for Teachers, and Real-Resumes for Teachers). If you want the ultimate book, you should take a look at Expert Resumes For Teachers And Educators (Expert Resumes).

Great resume book!.......2002-06-27

I really enjoyed this resume book. It helped me to get my first teaching job and I was even complimented on my resume by my employer. I really found the chapter on what gets left out helpful. It also gives you good action words and short phrases to use. Great for administrators too!

Book Description

Since their discovery in 1967, pulsars have assumed a central role in astronomy and astrophysics, offering an opportunity to explore theoretical physics under extreme conditions. Pulsar Astronomy provides an ideal introductory account for those entering the field, and an invaluable reference for established researchers. Now thoroughly revised for its third edition, it covers research over wavelengths ranging from radio through optical and x-ray to gamma-rays. Topics range from the physics of neutron star interiors to the astrophysics of binary stars and the recent tests of general relativity. It is supported by extensive references and a complete catalogue of all known pulsars.

The discoveries over the past forty years........2006-03-29

The discovery of pulsars is now less than 40 years old. But in that time pulsars have been in the forefront of the discoveries in cosmology. An astounding amount of information exploring the limits of theoretical physics has been obtained from these pulsating light signals.

This book, now in its third edition, would be of interest to the advanced undergraduate astronomy or astrophysics student. Or more likely it can serve as an introductory text to pulsars at the graduate school level or as a source of reference to the researcher. Among other things, it gives a catalog of the 1483 known pulsars.

The text begins with the early history of the discovery of pulsars by Jocelyn Bell during her graduate work at Cambridge (for which her advisor Anthony Hewish received the Nobel prize). From here the book chronicles the discoveries made by other researchers made since that time along with the changes in the theory that these discoveries brought about.

what is currently known about pulsars.......2006-02-28

Pulsars are one of the most fascinating types of astronomical objects known. This new third edition gives a comprehensive and up to date description of what is known about them.

Much of the book is the same as earlier editions. Like the now familiar story of how the first pulsar was discovered in the 60s by Jocelyn Bell. And how a Nobel was later awarded to her advisor. (Considered by some to be a massive oversight.)

The book explains how pulsars let us probe cosmological distances and times. (The two are related.) It gives the latest models for pulsar formation. More recent results include the solving of the gamma ray bursters conundrum. A deep puzzle until recently, when satellite observations proved vital in explaining bursters.

interested in astronomy or neutron stars?.......2006-01-01

an excellent book for anyone deeply into astronomy, stellar evolution, or galactic dynamics .. the only part i question is the speculation on internal structure. the book should also appeal to physicists interested in materials or states of matter. ah yes! there is much current research in 'gravity waves' (search on LIGO). good luck! :)

A must have for people interested in pulsars.......2000-04-13

This book contains everything you need to know about pulsars. Although it includes some advanced physical and mathematical concepts, people not familiar with them can still read and enjoy it. It is an excellent reference for basic information about the discovery, observations and nature of pulsars.

Book Description

The interaction between biology and evolution has been the subject of great interest in recent years. Because evolution is such a highly debated topic, a biologically oriented discussion will appeal not only to scientists and biologists but also to the interested lay person. This topic will always be a subject of controversy and therefore any breaking information regarding it is of great interest.
The author is a recognized expert in the field of developmental biology and has been instrumental in elucidating the relationship between biology and evolution. The study of evolution is of interest to many different kinds of people and Genomic Regulatory Systems: In Development and Evolution is written at a level that is very easy to read and understand even for the nonscientist.

* Contents Include
* Regulatory Hardwiring: A Brief Overview of the Genomic Control Apparatus and Its Causal Role in Development and Evolution
* Inside the Cis-Regulatory Module: Control Logic and How the Regulatory Environment Is Transduced into Spatial Patterns of Gene Expression
* Regulation of Direct Cell-Type Specification in Early Development
* The Secret of the Bilaterians: Abstract Regulatory Design in Building Adult Body Parts
* Changes That Make New Forms: Gene Regulatory Systems and the Evolution of Body Plans

Great book - pity about the illustrations.......2005-05-19

This is a very intersting book on an amazing topic which is straightforward enough for an interested educted layman to understand. But unfortunately it is a wierd mix of chatty remarks and pointlessly obstruse passages that read like letters to Nature.

The very worst thing is the illustrations and blurbs. The design is so bad that it really is hilarious at times. Sometimes the blurbs are so long they are spread onto the next page. The contain three or four different fonts in the same sentence. The sources of the information are pointless mixed with non-technical information about the content...

There is no logic in the way "subillustrations" are combined to illustrations. (Why do they insist on subillustrations at all? Why not make separate illustration?) They are just slapped together any old way. Sometime there are additional frams, sometimes not. Even the numbering convention varies. The order that the subillustration appear in the illustrations is also random.

The book is almost impossible to read. It needs to go back to the publisher and be totally reorganized for readability.

What a pity. The content is actually fascinating.

Dense but worthwhile reading.......2002-02-12

This book is complementary too, but on a more advanced level than Sean Carroll's From DNA To Diversity, which I strongly recommend as a great intro book to evo-devo. Davidson's book is tough going in places, which is why I gave it one star off, but the material is in fairness quite complex. He emphasizes the role of cis-regulatory sequences in genes and the structure of the systems that regulate gene expression in development and evolution in some detail. It becomes clear how minor mutations in the regulatory part of a gene can transform how it is expressed, and why the importance for evolution in mutations in gene expression is clearly much greater than for mutations in the protein coding sequence. His explanation for what is responsible for the incredible homologies in, for example, the pax 6 gene that regulates eye development across phyla is very illuminating. A must read for anybody interested in the molecular basis for development and evolution.

Clear introductory material.......2002-01-21

Genomic Regulatory Systems : development and evolution, by
Eric Davidson

The book is about how the genome actually works in [embryo?] development.
It is a beautiful book with many attractive illustrations.
The book's introductory material and
that of each chapter is clear and interesting.
I enjoyed about 3 valuable hours with this book
before getting lost because of my inadequate background (nonbio major).
He gives 4 reasons why this field has been so exciting over the past decade:
(1) We can now bring regulatory hard wiring at
the DNA nucleotide level into concise functional focus,
(2) We now have the full DNA sequence,
(3) Good minds from evolution and from development have converged,
(4) A lot of confusion in molecular phylogeny has been cleared up.

The book is mostly about bilaterians.
The size of the genome within a clade [some very similar critters]
can vary by a factor of ten whereas
the variation in protein coding (mRNA) is much smaller.
Amniotes [embryo in sac] have 4 hox clusters on 4 chromosomes.
There are remarkable examples of diverse usage of similar genes
of diverse organisms.
I don't think he defines the difference between cis- regulatory elements
[within the chromosome] and trans- [across chromosomes] so I needed
to do some guessing or find some other references.
Next time I take another look at this book,
I'll probably restart back about page 9.
I noticed on page 110 on the morphogenesis of heart parts
that different genes were identified for right and left sides
of the heart -- a matter of interest to me as my apparantly healthy 25 year old son ...died suddenly and unexpectedly
of natural causes,***many tears***, presumably a heart attack.
Perhaps the next decade or two will bring life-saving diagnostics.

Meaty, but decidedly not for beginners.......2001-08-25

On the back of this book's cover we read, "authoritative and easy to read". We may grant the first, but hardly the second. Davidson has worked for a long time at the cutting edge of cell-biological research, and makes it quite clear that our knowledge of the process by which the genes produce the organism they give rise to, is far from complete. Presenting numerous interesting examples, always supported by excellent illustrations, he offers us a fascinating sketch of the way the genetic DNA material in the chromosomes is translated into a developmental process in the organism, from fertilized egg to adult. He carries us far beyond the revolutionary ideas in Darwin's "Origin of Species" from 1859, and also beyond the "Neo-Darwinians", whose ideas on evolution and development dominated most of the 20th century. Not being a biologist, but rather a historian of ideas, predominantly in the field of natural science, I am impressed by the recent advances in biology after Crick's and Watson's discovery of the DNA double spiral as the material basis of the genome. We might say that the Neo-Darwinists, like Darwin himself, regarded the genes as fairly independent "elements", or "atoms" of heredity, each responsible for its own part (or characteristic trait) of the organism. The essentially random variation of those elements provided the raw material for Natural Selection, and thereby Evolution. That was also for a long time my own view. This book has forced me to adopt a new perspective. However, it seems to me that the "elemental" view of the genes has an entrenched position among the general public, who use it in arguments both for and against the Darwinian theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Davidson insists that the genes are by no means independent elements. They are very much dependent on each other. In particular, a rather limited number of them, which he calls regulatory genes, are especially important in evolution (and of course also in the development from the fertilized egg to the adult). He also stresses very strongly that the characteristics of an organism are not at all the creation of individual genes, but of a considerable number of genes working in concert, to a large extent orchestrated by the regulatory genes. Thus the whole process stands out as much more powerful, but also as extremely complicated. This is as it should be: who would deny that life is a complex phenomenon? To anybody interested in Evolution -- and in Man's place in Nature -- Davidson's book provides much food for thought. But note: unless you have a good grounding in biology, do not expect an "easy read".

Useful as a review of basic quantum mechanics.......2000-12-07

The author traces the rise of quantum mechanical concepts from their roots in classical nineteenth-century physics to the 1930s. Topics include analytical mechanics, classical field theory, statistical mechanics, initial efforts to incorporate quantization into classical physics, wave mechanics, and matrix mechanics. Atomic physics serves to motivate the discussion; molecular, solid-state and nuclear physics are omitted. This is NOT a textbook: it offers neither exercises nor mathematical proofs; instead, the author aims to convey clearly his understanding of major quantum concepts and the evolution of those concepts. The book assumes a familiarity with college-level mathematics and quantum mechanics, so this book would serve better as a review than as an introduction to the subject. For anyone who has taken a course in quantum mechanics and is still dazed, I recommend this book to clarify those confusing lectures.

Book Description

Jack Manchester, loser, women's shoe salesman--turned substitute teacher, is running from his cheating fiancée with equilibrium problems, a radical feminist group enforcer named Ambrosia, the neighbor who stole his fence, and his psychotic, gun-wielding grandmother.

Most of all, Jack Manchester is running from himself.

With only a few seconds to live, however, Manchester isn't going to run very far without recounting the memories and sorting things out from there.

Through his bitterly witty descriptions and ludicrous tales of debauchery, Manchester attempts to understand and survive in the School of Marble and Mud.

Holden Caulfield's Alter Ego.......2005-06-02

Very funny, provocative, with language that makes the meek cower, School of Marble and Mud is a novel you won't want to put down. The anti-hero, Jack Manchester, is trying to raise himself from a less than mediocre existence while enduring a psychotic gun-wielding grandmother, a self-destructive manipulative girlfriend, an unwelcome career, a militant feminist assassin, and several colorful Dallas denizens. Entering the world of substitute teaching, he begins to long for purpose, but just can't seem to get a good break. His witty insults of the pedestrian world around him belie his own ineptitude. Although it sounds dark -- and is at times -- this book is filled with raw laugh out loud humor and bizarre circumstances. Recommended for fans of Carver, Bukowski, etc., or anyone who appreciates an off-kilter perspective.
