Conflict Management Skills Workshop.......2002-05-15

A tool no trainer should be without! This book is extremely user-friendly, clear, concise and provides activities that could be applicable in any professional or personal training environment.

The stories and practice cases helped me keep participants engaged and focused during training. An excellent way for everyone to personalize the theories of conflict management and make it their own.

This is everything you need in one convenient package.

An excellent tool for every trainers toolbox........2002-05-14

Well organized, user friendly and full of excellent activities to keep your groups engaged and focused on the topic of conflict management.

Every trainer should have a copy, reference it frequently, and utilize the content themselves to manage conflict that sometime occurs during training.

"The Conflict Management Skills Workshop".......2002-03-03

This book is an incredible resource for corporate trainers and college instructors! I was able to use the activities in this workbook with my traditional classes, as well as my adult learners in factory and union settings. Students learn better with hands-on activities and through the use of antecdotel stories they can remember. This book combines both to make for a fruitful learning experience. We have long needed a resource of this caliber that takes theory and really shows us how to put it into practice. I will be waiting for more titles from this author.

Interesting.......2007-04-24

I read this book in a semester in a biochem special topics class. The explanations are pretty good, although some are a little confusing and need to be reworded. It was very nice having a book on one subject. Other texts might need to be referenced, especially for Chapter 2 - some of the ways to get transcription factors - cDNA, etc. The pictures, although simple, are very helpful in understanding the concepts. Beware of the last chapter though. A bunch of transcription factors are thrown at you at once. That was a lot to digest in a short amount of time.

Book Description

Transcription, or the process by which DNA produces RNA, is a central aspect of gene expression. Transcription factors regulate transcription during development and in disease states. As such, it is critical for researchers to gain a good understanding of the relationship between the structure of various families of transcription factors and their function, as well as roles in human disease. Since publication of the Fourth Edition, there have been major advances, notably in the areas of chromatin remodeling and genome-scale analyses. This complete update includes all new coverage of the latest developments, from enabling genomic technologies to studies on the importance of post-translational modifications beyond phosphorylation events.

Brand new coverage in this edition includes:
* Potential of transcription factors as therapeutic targets in human disease
* Importance of histone modifications
* Use of genome-based sequence analysis and high-throughput methods
* Applications of the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay
* Transcriptional elongation
* Regulation by post-translational modifications
* Regulatory networks and bioinformatics

This much-needed comprehensive and detailed guide through the overwhelming amount of literature in the field combines background information with insights. Utilizing clearly presented glossary terms and over 2,200 references, the title introduces current concepts, emphasizing the transcriptional control of genetic information. Moreover, it links data on the structure of regulatory proteins with basic cellular processes.

Book Description

Concepts of nonlinear physics are applied to an increasing number of research disciplines. With this volume, the editors offer a selection of articles on nonlinear topics in progress, ranging from physics and chemistry to biology and some applications of social science. The book covers quantum optics, electron crystallization, cellular or flow patterns in fluids and in granular media, biological systems, and the control of brain structures via neuronal excitation. Chemical patterns are looked at both in bulk solutions and on surfaces in heterogeneous systems. From regular structures, the authors turn to the more complex behavior in biology and physics, such as hydrodynamical turbulence, low-dimensional dynamics in solid-state physics, and gravity.

Book Description

One of fiction's most audaciously original talents, Neil Gaiman now gives us a mythology for a modern age -- complete with dark prophecy, family dysfunction, mystical deceptions, and killer birds. Not to mention a lime.

Anansi Boys
God is dead. Meet the kids.

When Fat Charlie's dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie "Fat Charlie." Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy can't shake that name, one of the many embarrassing "gifts" his father bestowed -- before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlie's life.

Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall, good-looking stranger who appears on Charlie's doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is from day, a brother who's going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun ... just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie.

Because, you see, Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil. Some said he could cheat even Death himself.

Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times bestseller, American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny -- a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure-house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

Very Charming Comedic Novel by Gaiman.......2007-10-07

Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite fantasy writers, and ANANSI BOYS didn't disappoint me. This is a very entertaining novel.

ANANSI BOYS is a very funny and original story about a man named Fat Charlie, who suddenly learns that he is the son of the trickster God Anansi. Fat Charlie also discovers that he has a long lost brother name Spider, who has decided to re-enter his life and turn it upside down.

Gaiman has a lovely writing style that incorporates a lot of gentle, whimsical humor. It's hard to describe, but it makes his novels a pleasure to read. This is a comic novel, so many of the characters border on caricature, but Gaiman does a good job of making them human and believable for the most part.

I wouldn't say ANANSI BOYS is a great Gaiman novel -- I think NEVERWHERE, STARDUST, AND CORALINE are better works -- but it's a very good one and I had a lot fun reading it. Highly recommended for fans of comedic fantasy.

So fun!.......2007-09-24

Rather an adult version of Neil Gaiman's book. As always, his books are great. I would rate this book No.2 among his books with Stardust as no.1 so far for me although I'm now starting to read his neverwhere which is really supposed to be great.

On Comparing One Book to Another.......2007-07-28

I'll actually be working through this book in a discussion group, but I couldn't wait that long after I received it.

Read the whole thing in one sitting. Good stuff, looking forward to the re-read when the class starts up.

Without talking about the book, per se, I'd like to take a quick second to address the "It's not really like American Gods" and "It's more like {insert other book name here}" kind of comments. It is certainly not, word for word, the same as any other of his books, or of any other books of which I am aware of. It is certainly not of the exact tone and timbre, of the exact hue and saturation, as any other book. It is, however, remarkably evident that it is done in the style of Neil Gaiman, which, considering he is the author, is a Good Thing. Apparently, the quality of authors and of books is such these days that one comes to expect formulaic sequels and series. Those can be quite fun, but one must not forget that there are at least a handful of authors producing excellent, unrelated work - or, at the least, pieces that may have bumped into each other once or twice, perhaps in a dark alley, but just as nearly as likely as in a white marble amphitheater with a silvery reflecting pool and the soft sounds of a fountain or waterfall or three.

A great and very fun read.......2007-07-20

No need to recap what it is all about or the other things that Neil has managed to crank out these past few years as the others have already done an outstanding job at doing that.

The book takes you out to the edges of a giant spider web and slowly draws you in as the characters run about and find themselves drawn to the center, the heart of the thing if you will.

The characters are very well developed and done so with a minimum amount of words used to do so. The story goes from sad to outrageous to absolutely adorable in less than 400 pages.

Take a step into another world that is not quite like our own where mortals, gods, and other things live, play, and sometimes compete. Just be sure to do it with a song in your heart and rhythm in your step.

I Will Read it Again...and Again..........2007-07-10

Neil Gaiman was born 3000 years past his time. There was a point in history when people dug deep down into themselves and pull out a story so fantastic that people begged for its telling every night. These imagineers were a rare breed, and the best stories even rarer. Apparently, Neil is a reincarnation, or at least a medium, of such a dreamer. All of his stories are so original, so unpredictable, and so memorable that I continue to think about them long after the book has been read. Few books tickle my imagination and haunt my memory like Gaiman novels.

Anansi Boys is not like any other book, not even like another Gaiman novel. You can tell it was written by Gaiman, but it is not comparable to anything else--it stands alone. The story made me laugh out loud, squirm in discomfort, and gasp in delighted suprise. It'll twist on you, it'll trick you, but you won't let go until "The End".

By the way, I also listened to it on CD from my library, and that is an experience in itself. Henry Lenny's bass voice and masterful dynamics made a long drive seem shorter, and really brought out the sexiness of Spider and the humor embedded in the story.
