Book Description

Why do so many Americans-working harder and longer and with less security than ever before-question the price of success demanded by today's hot-wired economy? Can you work and still have a life? Paula Rayman says, is yes. In this timely book, she offers a powerful blueprint for transforming the world of work, family, and community that is the downside of our relentlessly competitive culture. In this much-needed wake-up call to corporate America, Rayman shows why companies must go beyond the bottom line to survive and thrive. Drawing on her experience as a leading advocate for a more responsive workplace, she demonstrates how companies can organize for profit, productivity, and the desire of workers for a more rewarding quality of life. In a win-win agenda for changing outmoded organizations, she demonstrates convincingly that all successful transformations create workplaces that respect the need for dignity: security, self-respect, and the time and freedom to care for family and community.

Customer Reviews:

Paula Rayman is an idiot.......2007-01-06

Paula is a name-dropping, pretentious, self-serving author who pretends to be an economist but is really neither a capable quantitative nor a particularly insightful ethnographic scholar.

Ellen Ostrow,.......2002-11-25

I wish this book was required reading for every attorney I coach - and the managing partners of every law firm. Paula Rayman presents an compelling argument for law firms to examine
the consequences of their bottom line approach to doing business.
The billable hours culture, which places greatest value on overwork and heroic individualism, hurts families, diminishes the care of children and elders, reduces the possibilities for the success of women attorneys, limits the dignity of lawyers, makes lawyers abandon their civic responsibilities - and ultimately erodes the fabric of our society.
Rayman provides a sophisticated social, economic and moral analysis of the problem and offers both conceptual solutions and specific examples of their success. Rayman offers wise
counsel to the counselors.

Book Description

Recent trends toward specialization in veterinary medicine parallel similar trends in the practice of human medicine. W. Jean Dodds, the new editor of Advances in Veterinary Science and Comparative Medicine, has brought together recognized authorities to integrate the legal and ethical implications generated by the issue of specialization. Routine and specialized veterinary practices, including genetic screening, are now associated with clinical trials. This book establishes the links between specialization in the veterinary sciences and the factors that influence the use of animals in basic science and medicine.

Book Description

Deep-sky observing - that's looking at the stars, nebulae and galaxies - is easily the most popular field for amateur astronomers. The big problem faced by non-professional observers is what to look at - what's visible at a paticular time of year. The Deep-sky Observer's Year is a month-by-month guide to the best objects to view. Objects are given a "star rating" according to how difficult they are to observe or image (i.e. photograph) with a particular size of telescope. The book includes many images produced by amateur astronomers, as well as photographs from NASA, ESA and ESO. There is also some background information about the objects that can be seen, along with lots of useful tips, hints, and resources (especially about what's available on the Internet) for deep-sky observers.

Customer Reviews:

Good, but has flaws.......2001-05-03

This book is a nice overview of some deep-sky objects, but has a number of flaws. Overall, I would say you should consider it as supplemental material only, not a primary reference. This is unfortunate, as a more thorough job of handling this topic would be extremely useful.

First, like most (if not all) books in this series, there is no index. This makes it difficult to try and cross-reference information on an object to other books or charts. I fail to understand why a book of this type would not have an index, as with modern word-processing software, they are easy to generate.

Second, at the beginning of each month, there is no table of objects giving catalog number, common name, constellation names and coordinates, as I would have expected. There is only a list of catalog numbers. The finder charts are skimpy, also.

Potential buyer's should be aware that almost half the book (first 108 pages out of 248)is introductory material on such topics as binoculars, telescopes, how to observe, etc. This material, while good (although all aperture sizes are metric, with no translation to inches), is not why I wanted the book. The sketches are nice, as it is always helpful to me to see eyepiece impressions, as opposed to photos.

Given the price, I would recommend one of the 2 volumes of the Night-Sky Observer's Guide as being a better use of the money, but as supplemental material, it may be useful.

Book Description

Pore-forming proteins and peptides play a central role in bacterial pathogenesis, the immune response, defense from venomous attack, and innate immunity. These proteins attack and eliminate other organisms by punching an aqueous channel through their membranes, which disrupts appropriate cell function. The discovery of this cellular interaction has led to an abundance of scientific, medical, and commercial applications with unlimited potential. Pore-forming Peptides and Protein Toxins describes how natural and synthetic peptides and toxins form pores and ionic channels that cause cell membrane collapse and cell death. Divided into two parts on pore-forming proteins and pore-forming peptides, each chapter reviews the normal physiological cellular structure and function, discusses the interference of toxins with this process, and considers the use of specific toxins in research. Written by researchers from around the world, the text includes such topics as the channel-forming properties of Helicobacter pylori and the role of amyloid peptide channels in the development of amyloid diseases. This authoritative volume provides a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the basic principles and cellular mechanisms of the action of toxins and their potential use as research tools. It is an essential work for researchers and students in the fields of biochemistry, toxicology, biophysics, and pharmaceutical science.

Book Description

The elegantly styled classic story of a young, unorthodox teacher and her special--and ultimately dangerous--relationship with six of her students.

Customer Reviews:

Superb.......2007-09-22

This is art. There is not one unnecessary word in this novel. Miss Brodie is a mystery throughout the story and you just go on pondering about the characters long after it is finished.

And, you: Watch the film starring Maggie Smith, too. It's absolutely a masterpiece.

Portrait of a fascist.......2007-07-02

The key events in THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE take place in Scotland in the unsettled time between the two World Wars. In a number of ways, the title character, a school mistress in an Edinburgh girls school, is a lot like two world figures she admits to admiring: Mussolini and Hitler. While being arbitrary and authoritarian herself, she exhibits contempt for all legitimate authority. While claiming to educate her students in the true sense of the word (i.e., to draw them out), she constantly labels and confines them by her preconceptions of what she believes their destinies to be. She also manipulates their trust, inappropriately shares adult information with them, and constantly tests their loyalty. Brodie's set, as the girls are referred to by the headmistress and other "outsiders", are a privileged elite, the creme de la creme. And privilege comes with both responsibilities and risks. Spark gives a subtle reading of what it means to bask in the not-always-healthy favor of an all-too-human leader. While the novel sometimes seems to be told from the point of view of one of Brodie's students (the second half seems to belong almost entirely to Sandy, the girl with piggish eyes who becomes a nun and author of a bestselling book of psychology called "The Transfiguration of the Commonplace"), it is really told by an omniscient narrator, one capable of bridging time and making judgments no individual character with a limited perspective could ever make. It leaves the reader feeling that there just might be a power greater than the most naive victim or the most desperate, self-serving bully. This is truly a deep and disturbing book, one that should not be approached lightly or taken at face value.

Great product for the price.......2007-06-25

After seeing the play "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" performed at my school, I decided to get the novel (or novella) and read the original. Needless to say I enjoyed the story greatly and find it to be one of the better stories in this collection.

The other stories, however, are good. Not great when compared to "Brodie" but they could stand well on their own. For the price of this collection you would be doing your collection justice since Sparks is one of the best Contemporary writers and "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" is a captivating and original story.

Also, the introduction by Frank Kermode is a nice preface to each of the stories which contextualizes them well in Spark's life and to the time in which the stories were written.

In a class all her own.......2007-04-10

This is a profound, but surprisingly amusing novel set in Edinburg, Scotland during the early twentieth century. The main character, Jean Brodie, is a spinster and something else which you do not figure out until later. She has an unorthodox teaching style that pits most of the staff of the Marcia Blane School for Girls against her. The Brodie Set are six girls who get her special attention and are molded to become prototypes of their role model. Each one of the girls is known for a special talent or quality: Monica for anger, Sandy for her eyes, Jenny for her beauty, Mary for her stupidity, Eunice for gymnastics and Rose for sex.

I thought this book was funny and very profound and as a short, but fascinating read I highly recommend it.

Spark's masterpiece among masterpieces.......2006-11-29

The spinster has long been a fixture in English literature and life, and the independent, intellectual spinster, Muriel Spark remarks part way through THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, was not an uncommon sort between the wars in the UK. What makes Jean Brodie, her independent spinster protagonist, unusual is that she chooses to play out her personal pageant not as a teacher in a progressive school where her eccentric personality and educational strategies would have clicked but at a traditional girls' school in Scotland. Female teachers were expected to be models of morality and chastity and they were to groom their charges to fit a prescribed code of feminine behavior shaped more by Victorian standards than the 20th century.

Our Miss Brodie has a very strong sense of self and dramatically casts herself as a heroine in her life's stories that she routinely dispenses to her middle-school aged girls. They are a captive audience as she reminds them again and again that she is in her prime. And yet, they are learners and what they come away with is their own sense of selves, albeit stamped by the Brodie spirit, exhibited in the various ways they're able to position the Panama hat that is part of their uniforms; they also know more about culture and politics than their peers. As time moves on, they also become aware in other ways, and reveal Miss Brodie's mark on them in unexpected ways. The central tension is, can Miss Brodie keep doing what she's doing without being taken down by the fusty old system? Will she do herself in? She counts on her girls' loyalty to serve as a shield, but how much can she control them? Will she lose her prime?

Spark is a knock out writer, who precisely skewers her characters and the world in which they move. She moves effortlessly between the present and future moments in their lives, revealing the cause and effect of this education. This novel is wryly comic. It is also psychologically astute.

Book Description

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

The brevity of Muriel Spark’s novels is equaled only by their brilliance. These four novels, each a miniature masterpiece, illustrate her development over four decades. Despite the seriousness of their themes, all four are fantastic comedies of manners, bristling with wit.

Spark’s most celebrated novel, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, tells the story of a charismatic schoolteacher’s catastrophic effect on her pupils. The Girls of Slender Means is a beautifully drawn portrait of young women living in a hostel in London in the giddy postwar days of 1945. The Driver’s Seat follows the final haunted hours of a woman descending into madness. And The Only Problem is a witty fable about suffering that brings the Book of Job to bear on contemporary terrorism.

All four novels give evidence of one of the most original and unmistakable voices in contemporary fiction. Characters are vividly etched in a few words; earth-shaking events are lightly touched on. Yet underneath the glittering surface there is an obsessive probing of metaphysical questions: the meaning of good and evil, the need for salvation, the search for significance.
