    5 out of 5 stars Inspiring.......2001-05-16

    Finding good information on ways to unleash creativity in a spiritual context is easy. Finding a way to sell creativity to businesses is another thing. I particularly liked the way the book encourages you to customize your own training program. In my business I work with a very diverse group of people and businesses which demands that my program also be diverse. I highly recommend this sourcebook.

    5 out of 5 stars The ASTD Trainer's Sourcebook: Leadership.......2000-09-20

    This Sourcebook lays out excellent guidelines and training/handout materials for one hour, half day, and full day leadership sessions. Information provided is so in-depth that an entry level trainer could pickup the sourcebook, read over the materials, and present an effective workshop. Excellent for a one person training organization. The materials were released in 1997, and the references are from late 80's, early 90's, so you may want to add more updated reference citings during workshops for credibility. Overall, excellent materials!

                            4 out of 5 stars Good intro to polymers!.......2003-06-25

                            I bought this book AFTER I bought polymer physics books by de Gennes, Doi and Edwards, and Yamakawa. I don't recommend you do it in this order! Grosberg and Khokhlov's book is, in my opinion, the best one to start off with. It judiciously takes a scaling-type approach to certain discussions (in a manner similar to de Gennes) and more rigorous mathematical developments in others (similar to Doi and Edwards, but never as detailed as Yamakawa).

                            I particularly like the way the book is arranged. Each short section (they're usually about 2 or 3 pages or so) begins with a bold face sentence which tells the main idea of the section to follow. This keeps the book coherent even when you want to skip sections.

                            I would recommend this as your first book in polymer physics, though a reasonable background in statistical mechanics is necessary to understand the material (although very reliable sources have told me that the new book by Rubinstein and Colby is supposed to be excellent as well, but it just came out and I haven't had a chance to read it).

                            Book Description

                            Time Warps, String Edits and Macromolecules is a young classic in computational science. The computational perspective is that of sequence processing, in particular the problem of recognizing related sequences. The book is the first, and still best compilation of papers explaining how to measure distance between sequences, and how to compute that measure effectively. This is called string distance, Levenshtein distance, or edit distance. The book contains lucid explanations of the basic techniques; well-annotated examples of applications; mathematical analysis of its computational (algorithmic) complexity; and extensive discussion of the variants needed for weighted measures, timed sequences (songs), applications to continuous data, comparison of multiple sequences and extensions to tree-structures. This theory finds applications in molecular biology, speech recognition, analysis of bird song and error correcting in computer software.

                            4 out of 5 stars Still a useful source of information.......2001-08-07

                            This book, originally published in 1983, was reissued in 1999, no doubt because of the importance of genetic sequencing in recent years. What is neat about the book is it shows how algorithms from one field can be applied to solve problems in another, possibly totally disparate field, one example being computational linguistics and sequence algorithms in computational biology.

                            A general overview of sequence comparison is given in chapter 1 with applications to molecular biology, human speech, computer science, coding theory, gas chromotography, and bird songs discussed. The author discusses how deletion-insertion, compression-expansion, and substitution are employed in sequence comparison. Different metrics are introduced, such as the Levenshtein distance. Dynamic programming, which pretty much dominates the book, is introduced here also.

                            Part 1 of the book discusses sequence comparison in molecular biology. The use of dynamic programming is emphasized and its importance continues to this day. The advantages of using the dynamic programming method are outlined, and it is shown how to find the substring in a longer sequence with most optimum agreement to a shorter sequence. In addition, given an RNA molecule with a known nucleotide sequence, methods are discussed for predicting the way different parts of the molecule will bond to each other. These methods are based on dynamic programming. Mathematicians considering doing research on or about entering the field will profit from the section on the biological background. The treatment of RNA secondary structures is excellent.

                            In part 2, the emphasis is on speech processing and what is called "time-warping", which is a technique for comparing functions by altering the time axis. An interesting application is given to the comparison of bird songs. An algorithm is given for adjusting the time scales for two songs to arrange them in the most optimal alignment. In addition, the differences between compression and expansion and deletion and insertion are discussed in this part.

                            In part 3, a modified Smith-Waterman algorithm is employed to find similar portions in two sequences. Called local alignment in computational biology, it is shown in detail how to define the recurrences for the alignment and how to keep track of the pointers for backtracking. This part also generalizes the operations of substitution and Levenshtein distance. In addition, the strategy of doing sequence comparison by allowing transpositions is discussed. Such a strategy entails a generalized concept of trace, wherein trace lines can intersect each other, leading to entangling of the traces into knots or plaids. The usual dynamic programming techniques must then be extended to deal with these complications. One particular algorithm for this is discussed, called CELLAR, which involves the construction of a directed graph whose paths correspond to admissible sequences of generalizations of traces, called cuts. The computational complexity of this algorithm is discussed. In addition, an O(n^2/logn) algorithm is given for computing string-edit distances.

                            The last part of the book deals with studying comparisons between random sequences. Combinatorial arguments are used to derive upper bounds on the expected length of the longest common subsequences of two random sequences. Other miscellaneous results dealing with comparing common subsequences of two random sequences are given.

                              Book Description

                              This book develops a statistical mechanical analysis of the stability of biological macromolecules. The author's approach is valid both for the long time-scale needed for DNA bond disruption, and also for highly cooperative transitions needed to explain helix melting. Prohofsky develops a new theoretical approach for executing macromolecule calculations. In particular the author devises a method for describing chemical bond disruption in these large systems, which is then used to determine when the helix melts and how drugs can dissociate from the helix. The author finds melting temperatures to be in excellent agreement with experimental observations.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Just Time Well Spent.......2004-04-07

                                    This book strikes a nice balance - it is a useful reference book, while remaining interesting and entertaining. It takes a practical and innovative approach to addressing the usually stiff topic of math. I can't recall another math book I would characterize as "fun" - and you know how engineers could use more fun in our lives!!! It is an excellent refresher on math topics, and an enjoyable read. The included CD-ROM is a nice bonus.

                                    4 out of 5 stars An Entertaining Math Book.......2004-03-04

                                    If ever there was a math book that was entertaining, this is it! The authors manage to cram an amazing amount of mathematics into a book that is modest in size compared to the typical engineering math text, yet keep it easy to read. Each section starts with a clear exposition of the relevent concepts then the usefulness of the topic is illustrated with real life practical applications ranging from simple (falling cannon ball) to complex (fluid flow). The accompanying CD provides example problems for the reader to solve.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A good reference for basic engineering math.......2004-02-05

                                    This book gives a well-selected precis of the basic math needed for the first two years of enginnering but with enough explanations, examples, and short derivations that the reader can actually make some sense of the results. This should be a much better overview that standard references. Its clearly written and very readable. I defnitely plan to recommend it to my students in engineering physics.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Math made easy.......2003-08-27

                                    Finally, someone broke math down to enlish not math. This book goes a long way to break a barrier that for me was hard to come down. Just In Time for Engineers is a must for the new or struggling engineer. The examples and methods of teaching is worth every penny.

                                    Years ago, Chris Bohjalian and his wife traded their Brooklyn co-op for a century-old Victorian house in Lincoln, Vermont (population 975). Bohjalian, a bestselling novelist, began chronicling life in that gloriously quirky little village with a wide variety of magazine essays and his newspaper column, “Idyll Banter.” These pieces, written over the course of twelve years, are honest, funny, and deeply affecting reflections on the unique idiosyncrasies of small-town life (annual outhouse races) and the universal experiences (our hunger for neighborliness) that unite us all.

                                    It is a pleasure to read such an upbeat book..I'm ready to pack and move..I want to live the simple life too...

                                    5 out of 5 stars The Personal, Concentrated, Becomes Universal.......2004-06-24

                                    Much as I love novels, there are times when short, pithy, engaging non-fiction is exactly what I feel like reading. And I am well aware that there are damned few writers in the world who can claim mastery of both forms. Chris Bohjalian is one such writer, and "Idyll Banter" is a wonderful little book that illuminates an artistic paradox: that the act of sharing what is personal and private somehow irises the experience open into deeply touching universality.

                                    I have long admired Bohjalian's work--"Water Witches" and "Midwives" are among my favorite novels--and I recommend "Idyll Banter" unequivocably. His brief, concentrated accounts of births, deaths, weddings, dances, and dinners in a very small town engage the reader in ways not immediately apparent. I've never spent time in Lincoln, Vermont, but I feel that I know these people, somehow. It isn't a rich place, or a perfect one, but it is genuine, and it is beloved, and, in Bohjalian's deft hands, it comes alive: complex, unexpected, deeply rooted in history and advancing winningly into into the 21st century.

                                    The best examples of this sort of book creates a sort of envy, a wistfulness, a longing to belong, however briefly, to the place described. Bohjalian manages to create the feelings that we, too, all of us, might have a welcome share in a fulfilling and happy life in this community. And if not to Lincoln, then encouraging us to look again at our own neighborhood and our own families with newly opened and appreciative eyes. Really well done. Really well-written.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Delightful look at small-town life.......2004-06-10

                                    This is a delightful collection of short essays focusing on the community of Lincoln, Vermont, where Bohjalian lives with his family.

                                    Readers from New England will recognize and appreciate the many typically New England elements that Bohjalian observes in his essays: the woes of septic tanks and mud seasons, the black flies, the sometimes contentious town meetings, the uncanny quiet and stillness after the first winter snow. But while Bohjalian writes very specifically about Lincoln, Vermont, introducing us to his neighbors, his church, his country store, his subject is really the larger one of community and what constitutes a good life. Bohjalian does not idealize small-town life; he is well aware of the economic realities of rural America and writes movingly, for example, about the disappearance of Vermont's dairy farms. Nevertheless, his abiding love and affection for his town and its inhabitants make Lincoln, Vermont-and towns like it-seem like the ideal place to live, work, and raise a family.

                                    Although these are occasional pieces, written, Bohjalian notes, as a break from his regular work as a fiction writer, these are tightly crafted, acutely observed essays. There is never an excess word, but at the same time, the pace feels unhurried. Bohjalian manages to strike just the right balance between humor and poignancy. He is especially funny when writing about his limitations as a handyman. Other pieces, especially the essay about the destruction of Lincoln's library by flood and the elegies (for people as well as a cat and a horse), are genuinely moving. Because the pieces are short, interesting, and self-contained, this is the perfect collection for dipping into.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A Book About A Small Town and Life in General.......2004-04-20

                                    For most people, Chris Bohjalian is best known as a novelist with books such as THE BUFFALO SLODIER and MIDVIVES to his credit. The people of Lincoln, Vermont and the vicinity probably best know Bohjalian as a columnist for THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS. Now readers outside of Vermont can read and appreciate his reflections in small town life in IDYLL BANTER, a collection of these columns.

                                    Bohjalian is hardly the first person to leave a major city and find a different pace to life in a small town. He is also not the first writer to explore life in a small town. The essays do not include tried and true clichés but rather give an honest and refreshing look at life in general. Most of the essays are upbeat and thought provoking. Bohjalian is involved in each of them, yet the book is not about the author and his family. Rather the author and his family give perspective to Bohjalian's observations. Perhaps the most moving passages in the book can be found when he talks about the Church where he worships and the his reflections on the town cemetery

                                    The book will appeal to a wide variety of readers, but it is my guess that people involved in teaching and public speaking will probably find the book useful. People involved in preaching and ministry will also find in the book excellent sermon and homily starters.

                                    This book had me laughing out loud one moment, and sighing wistfully the next. The characters in it seemed so real -- probably because they are real! Anyway, I was very, very moved by the people in this strange and quirky little town. There are some touching and poignant stories in here -- and then some, like the one about the outhouse races, that are a scream.

                                    First, this is the supplement (and not even the most recent) to Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Practice published by the National Consumer Law Center in Boston, MA. I am a practicing bankruptcy attorney representing primarily consumer debtors in Chapter 7 and 13 cases. I have reviewed and used several publications in the course of representing debtors in bankruptcy. By far, the best publication is Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Practice (and, of course, the supplements). The expansive breadth of coverage addresses the issues that most arise in consumer cases, plus some gems that often get away. For example, you may wish to carefully review the security agreements and reject (reject it anyway because credit insurance is usually a bad deal) credit insurance. Oftentimes the creditors claim that the unearned premium is subject to the security interest. Unless specifically listed in the security agreement as additional security, not so. The thing that makes this set so valuable is the authoritative treatment yet seamless "nuts and bolts" practice information. I cannot recommend this set more.
