Book Description

Health & Economic Status of Older Women does not duplicate any existing resources in the gerontology field. Although older women may constitute a statistical majority of the older population, they continue to be an undersampled minority. The significance of sex differences has not only been overlooked in writing, but also in the production of data resources.

The book itself is the direct result of an invitational conference of nationally known researchers held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Conference discussions informed the participants of the choice of topics and identified many research gaps which needed to be filled. This book can and should be thought of as a starting point as it is hoped that through this volume investigators will be stimulated to develop and implement new directions in research.

The authors focus on major methodological issues, calling attention to some contradictory findings and draw attention to the need for different and/or more sophisticated approaches to research about older women. Although aging processes are universal, there are physical and social aspects of gender of particular concern. This is why this text is so important. This volume represents a selective review of health and economic issues and how they relate to older women. It spells out many research issues needing investigation and major resources for doing so, as well as providing new ways of looking at traditional research problems.

Book Description

In this superb topology text, the readers not only learn about knot theory, 3-dimensional manifolds, and the topology of embedded graphs, but also their role in understanding molecular structures. Most results described in the text are motivated by the questions of chemists or molecular biologists, though they often go beyond answering the original question asked. No specific mathematical or chemical prerequisites are required. The text is enhanced by nearly 200 illustrations and 100 exercises. With this fascinating book, undergraduate mathematics students escape the world of pure abstract theory and enter that of real molecules, while chemists and biologists find simple and clear but rigorous definitions of mathematical concepts they handle intuitively in their work.

How can topology be applied to chemistry?.......2000-08-31

This question is answered in a remarkable new book by Erica Flapan, knot theorist and professor of mathematics at Pomona College. Stereochemistry, the study of the three-dimensional structure of molecules, is a recurring theme in chemistry and related fields. Topology, the study of geometrical properties which are invariant under continuous transformations, is a similarly popular area for mathematicians. While it is not immediately obvious that the two fields have anything in common, both fields owe a debt to the other. Although she initiates her book with a historical perspective and detailed expository on basic aspects of low dimensional topology (e.g., stereoisomers, chirality, nonrigid symmetries, knot and link types, three-dimensional manifolds, and link polynomials) she does proceed into more advanced subject matter in later chapters including Möbius ladders, symmetries of embedded graphs, and hierarchies of automorphisms. Of particular interest to the molecular biologist, the final chapter is devoted entirely to the topology of DNA and includes topological considerations of supercoiling, toroidal winding, enzyme action, and tangle theory. The arguments are clearly presented within the framework of interesting and relevant molecular structures, yet there is enough mathematical rigor to satisfy dyed-in-the-wool mathematicians as well. Although there will likely be something of interest to the average working chemist, the supramolecular scientist, organic chemist, molecular biologist, and biophysicist, in particular, stand to gain the most by the contents of this book.

Book Description

Full of mischief and valor, ribaldry and romance, The Arabian Nights is a work that has enthralled readers for centuries.

The origins of The Arabian Nights are obscure. About a thousand years ago a vast number of stories in Arabic from various countries began to be brought together; only much later was the collection called The Arabian Nights or the Thousand and One Nights.

Classic Tales- Not To Be Skipped.......2006-02-21

If you read Husain Haddawy Arabian Nights then The Arabian Nights II is a must since it contains stories he omitted from his Arabian Nights Translation. While many may feel his translations are incomplete I still enjoy them. These and many other original Arabic stories give us a glimpse into a long forgotten time constantly diluted by their Disney counterparts. This book includes Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba, Ali Al Din ,et Al. I would not recommend this book as a nightly reader to children as some of the content proves extremely lewd however I found it hard to put down once started and would recommend The Arabian Nights II to anyone seeking a unique and adventurous story.

It's good for research, not reading.......2005-12-20

How many stories can you have within a story? Can ancient stories be improved upon? In my opinion the answer is yes, and not only with the Arabian nights but with many European tales as well.

How many times is the imagination sparked by talk of geni's, curses, and the like, but the stories are not well constructed. Reading here requires devotion. I would say it is an excellent reference book, but for fascinating tales, no.

Not the real thing.......2005-05-16

This is a very rum publication. Five years previous to its appearance Husain Haddawy produced as 'The Arabian Nights' a translation of the earliest extant version of the text (thirteenth- or fourteenth-century), which contains only a fraction of the full text known from nineteenth-century editions. In a polemical preface he denounced the full version as a dilution of a great original by the addition of masses of alien and inferior material. It must subsequently have been pointed out to him that a version of the Arabian Nights that omitted the best known stories would disappoint readers; consequently he then produced the present volume, made up largely of the popular tales 'Sindbad the Sailor', 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves', and 'Aladdin and his Lamp' -- even though, as he points out in the preface, the original Arabic texts of 'Ali Baba' and 'Aladdin', if they ever existed, have never been found and we are dependent on an eighteenth-century French 'translation' that is a fine piece of literature but far from authentic. A reader who wants to go beyond Haddawy's first volume would be well advised to go straight to one of the translations of the complete text, which contains much fine material omitted from both Haddawy's volumes. Of these the best known is Richard Burton's and the most readable that of Powys Mathers.

Enthralling.......2003-09-02

When I have started reading this collection of Arabic stories I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent translation. The language flows smoothly and practically dances on the pages. The translation has engaged me and kept my attention, until I have finished the book alltogether. This rendition couldnt have possibly been improved.
As for the tales, this is not like Disney's Alladin or Sindbad. Do not be deceived into believing that the stories are effulgent with simple innocence. In parts, there is mild violence and subtle obscenties. However subtle, one might still consider them inappropriate for children. To make it simple, if this was a movie it would be rated pg-13. This aspect aside, the stories flow smoothly with enthralling tales of adventure, magic, and of course the cliche themes of love. Even though the tales of this book have been displayed on television, this rendition flavors them with fresh originality. The only regret is that one wont be guessing about the outcome of the adventures as the ending has been millions of times entrusted to the media and us...

Lovely, magical translation.......2001-07-11

This translation of some of the most beloved tales of the Arabian nights is irresistable.

Book Description

Creditor Rights and the Public Interest supports the greater representation of non-traditional creditors in the process of insolvency restructuring in Canada, concentrating particularly on restructuring under the federal Companies' Creditors' Arrangement Act (CCAA). Arguing in favour of the representation of such non-traditional creditors as workers, consumers, trade suppliers, and local governments, Janis Sarra describes the existing process of addressing their interests, analyzes four case studies that focus on non-creditor groups, and compares the Canadian approach to that of several other countries, such as Germany, France, and the United States.

Sarra draws on a comprehensive body of academic literature that covers a broad range of issues—insolvency theory, corporate governance theory, legislative history, and bankruptcy and insolvency practice. She further surveys the relevant legislation and supplements her analysis with insights drawn from extensive primary research of court records and personal interviews with lawyers, judges, and government officials.

Creditor Rights and the Public Interest ultimately illustrates the way in which the concept of the public interest can be utilized to foreground the concerns of non-traditional stakeholders. Sarra provides a coherent account of the justification for recognizing these creditors by situating insolvency law in a legal regime that realizes a duty to maximize all of the interests and investments at stake in the corporation. In an academic field where scholarship is currently scarce, Sarra's text will be a welcome contribution.
