HR Management by Kleiman: A Practical Text.......2000-10-18

While there is no shortage of texts on human resources management, it is not easy to find one as practical and useful as Human Resource Management: A Tool for Competitive Advantage by Lawrence Kleiman. I train new HR managers and consult with General Managers in China and have found this to be the best book for both audiences. The case studies and practical applications are right on the money, even in multinationals doing business in foreign countries. This is a must-have for my library.

Book Description

August Mobius was one of the nineteenth century's most influential mathematicians and astronomers. Written by six distinguished contributors, this book explores the work of Mobius and his fellow-German scholars, in particular the achievements which act as a mirror for the work being undertaken by his contemporaries around the world. The background to Mobius's life and labours is provided by John Fauvel. Gert Schubring examines the mathematical community in nineteenth-century Germany, while Allan Chapman describes the revolution in astronomy that took place during the period. Jeremy Gray analyses Mobius's contribution to geometrical mechanics and Norman Biggs traces his role in the development of topological ideas. Finally, Ian Stewart explores the legacy Mobius left to mathematics in our own century.

Interesting stories about Mobius and science of 19th century.......1999-01-25

I got to know many things about Mobius and his works from this book. For example, what cause him to think about the famous Mobius function and Mobius inversion formula. Also, there are facts that support J.B. Listing(1808-1882) as the first inventor of the Mobius Band. In the first half of 19-th century, many leading mathematicians made a living as astronomers, because mathematics at that time had not been accepted as an independent scientific field!

Description:
Toxic compounds in soils threaten groundwater quality in two ways: as potential contaminants themselves, and by retarding the microbial degradation of other organic compounds, thus enhancing their deep penetration. Benzotriazole (BTA) is a chemical with versatile industrial applications, used in large quantities worldwide, and represents a potential threat to the environment due to its apparent toxicity and recalcitrance. When used as an additive in aircraft deicing/antiicing fluid on airports, substantial spills of these mixtures and jet fuel will inevitably reach the soil. We have investigated the subsoil (1-2m depth) microbial degradation and growth on four relevant organic substrates found in airport run-off (acetate, formate, glycol and toluene) in the presence of concentrations of BTA which can be found in airport run-off. Monitoring CO"2 evolution showed growth-dependent degradation rates for all substrates (sigmoid CO"2 accumulation curves), which were significantly affected by BTA. The mineralization of acetate was only moderately retarded and only by the highest BTA concentration used (400mgl^-^1 in soil solution); formate and glycol mineralization was substantially retarded at 200mgl^-^1, and toluene mineralization already at 10mgl^-^1 BTA. Mass balances (fraction of added C recovered as CO"2) suggested that the microbial growth yield (g biomass-C formed per g substrate C) was severely reduced with increasing concentrations of BTA. The analysis of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) demonstrated that Gram-negative bacteria were dominating among the organisms growing on all four substrates. The total amount of PLFA increased with approximately 1000pmolPLFAg^-^1 soil in response to a dose of 0.93@mmolglycol-Cg^-^1 soil, but this increase was gradually reduced with increasing BTA concentrations. This was in agreement with C mass balances based on CO"2 measurements, verifying that BTA severely reduced the growth yields. The response of individual PLFA's to BTA and substrates demonstrated that non-growing organisms were largely unaffected (i.e. the PLFA's of which the absolute amounts did not increase in response to substrates were not affected by BTA), whereas those which were growing on the added substrates were uniformly reduced by BTA (all the PLFA's which increased in response to the substrates were negatively affected by BTA). The results suggest that BTA functions as an uncoupler, i.e. a substance that reduces the yield of ATP per mole of substrate used, or that the defence mechanisms represent a large energy burden to all microbial cells.

Witty and Insightful ..........2005-08-09

Pico's short book is full of sharp and witty humor conjugated with intelligent insightful observations. He combines day-to-day anecdotes, personal interactions and socio-political prose with amazing dexterity. The background information provided for each lonely country visited by Pico is pretty amazing.
I have traveled to some of these lonely places and can almost relive my travel experiences after reading his book (though he traveled almost a decade before I did). With every passing chapter, I could observe a progressive improvement in Pico's writing style. Essays from Argentina, Paraguay and Bhutan are very interesting. He comes into his own with the concluding essay on Australia.

Great ideas for an intrepid traveller. .......2005-05-12

Pico Iyer has a keen eye and great facility with words, and therefore his books always make for great reading. "Falling off the map," is a book that describes at lenght about some lonely places in the world. He has an uncanny knack of painting a vivid portrait that instally transports you to these places.

Iyer defines lonley places as those places that are not the topic of conversation at any international dinner tables. These places are "shy,defensive,curious places: places that do not know how they are supposed to behave." And Iyer convices us in that in this ever-shrinking world such placs still exist: Cuba, Iceland, Bhutan, Vietnam and others.

The minute I finished reading the book, I wanted to go these lonely and interesting places that Iyer talks about in this book. But, that was just a passing thought, and then harsh reality intruded and I started to fret about creature comforts, food, transportion etc.Visiting these places is not for the faint-hearted with weak stomachs.

If you can brave these places like Iyer did, you are a lucky person, but if you are like the masses that like to sit in the comfort of a lazybody of the living room and indulge in arm-chair travelling then this is a must-read book. That is precisely what I did. I derived great vicarious pleasure by reading this book.

But, alas Iyer made his expedition to these lonely places over a decade ago, and since then things have changed in some of these lonely places, and they are fast becoming the new destination for regular travellers. There is some hope for me in this changing travelling trend ...perhaps, I can get to visit these places in my lifetime.

A Non-Guide to Non-Tourist Attractions.......2005-05-07

I have to admit I'm a sucker for all travel narratives. I have a serious travel jones myself, and since I'm not in a position to jet all over the world right now, I have to armchair travel. Pico Iyer was recommended highly to me by a fellow armchair traveler so I set about this book with some high expectations.

The downside of this book is that he's writing about a number of places I'm likely not to visit-North Korea, Cuba, Paraguay-but after a few chapters my disappointment at reading about "lonely places" that will remain unvisited by me gradually fell away as Iyer's style became more comfortable for me.

He refers to classic travel writers frequently, and if you haven't read these authors, some of the references lose their impact, but Iyer's observations are so detailed, so full of atmosphere, that you don't necessarily get a picture of the country he's visiting, but a total feeling that's larger than the individual portraits he presents. I get the feeling he genuinely loves the people and the places he's visited and doesn't see them as part of some journalistic assignment he has to get through.

home is where everything is the same and yet different.......2002-05-13

Pico Iyer's prose caught my eye in his Time Magazine columns where he did a good job showing us how recognizable the exotic has become. This collection, his first in book form, again reiterates that the most difficult aspect of long distance travel is not any longer how to get there, how to dodge danger or how to find your way back but how to avoid to bump into the same features you left 10,000 miles and 6 timezones earlier. Showing through many examples, sometimes hilarious and sometimes profoundly sad how globalisation regurgitates the same marketing ideas dressed in different flags it really makes its point that the era of the curious gentleman(woman) traveler looking for exotic shores has been overtaken by the vastly less romantic quest to escape the onslaught of canned icons in any neck of the woods.
The book also does a nice job of illuminating the paradoxical quest of the overfed and understimulated prestigious first world traveler trying to find hidden corners where there is still some sort of exploration possible and where not all laws of our structured civilization apply only to be greeted by the not so happy natives who are dying to know how to join the West or in the least purchase its most potent logos.

Has Iyer Ever Really Left His Desk?.......2002-04-11

This guy either makes up things as he goes along or doesn't actually go along! For instance, he said garden fences and TV antenna are banned in Canberra Australia, which is nonsense. In fact, fences are erected at the time houses are built, so everyone has them, and most roofs also sport TV antennas. Plus, he describes Australian houses as "semi-detached," when they are almost all just like your average suburban American house. Not major points, but he certainly lost all credibility with me. In fact, I seriously doubt that he's actually been here. Read Bill Bryson's book if you want to learn about Australia.
