          5 out of 5 stars Microcomputer Accounting for Peachtree Accounting.......2000-12-11

          As a computerized accounting instructor I have found the current edition of this book to be a helpful teaching tool. It allows students to work at their own pace and does not require previous computer or accounting experience. Starting with the basics of installing the provided software each chapter is a step by step lesson for company setup, customer and sales management, purchasing,etc. Numerous examples allow the student to determine if steps have been inputted correctly. Along with the CD that contains an educational version of Peachtree 7.0 five floppy disk containing business simulations are included.

                      Book Description

                      Your new trainers don't know how to properly operate the VCR and monitor . . . your employees don't know how to use a preferred conference call vendor . . . your middle managers fail to consistently report their employees' overtime.

                      Tired of explaining things over and over? Save time, frustration and money—and improve performance—by creating your own task aids.

                      This self-study guide will show you how to create checklists, lists of steps, forms, worksheets, decision tables, flowcharts—all kinds of task aids to help employees take corrective action and perform their jobs.

                      When you follow the author's advice, you'll be on the way to designing and developing your own appropriate job aids—easily and quickly.

                      Close the gap between what is happening and what should be happening.

                      Working at your own pace, you'll learn about every step involved in creating an effective task aid and get plenty of practice implementing the steps.

                      You'll learn how to:

                      Analyze barriers that bar the use of the task aid—like noise, no PC or poor lighting
                      Determine the correct medium for the task aid—computer-based, hard-copy, integrated or stand-alone
                      Categorize tasks by determining if they involve sequential steps and/or decision-making
                      Select a format—a flow chart, decision table, list, or combination
                      Write a draft of the task aid
                      Comply with format guidelines—where to put the title and drawings, how to use white space, when to box or highlight

                          Minor bodies in the Solar System, though representing only a small fraction of the mass in the Solar System, may well play a fundamental role in terrestrial evolution.
                          This book contains investigations of the dynamics and physics of comets, asteroids and meteor streams, and the rather controversial topic of periodic phenomena in the Solar System as signified by geological records, together with several associated developments in celestial dynamics. All these problems are interwoven. This book makes a contribution towards unravelling the nature of the interactions between the Earth and its celestial environment.

                            Book Description

                            How are medicines transported intact through the body to their specific target sites without triggering side effects? The answer is "Drug Targeting".
                            This thoroughly application-oriented book gives comprehensive answers to this and many other questions that confront scientists daily in chemical, pharmaceutical and medical research. A concise overview of the most important basic theories, modern forms of therapy and molecular biological tools, it represents a comprehensible introduction to the topic. The book then goes on to deal with strategies for target applications, divided according to target site, for example brain, lungs, liver, blood vessels and tumor cells. The third part is devoted to special, modern techniques, from phage display methods, via the use of tissue slices right up to pharmacokinetic modeling. Throughout, the focus remains on the practical aspect and successful application of the method in question, although a glance at what the future holds is also included. A volume that every pharmaceutically oriented research group should own.

                            Book Description

                            The state of the art in Biopharmaceutics, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics Modeling is presented in this book. It shows how advanced physical and mathematical methods can expand classical models in order to cover heterogeneous drug-biological processes and therapeutic effects in the body. The book is divided into four parts; the first deals with the fundamental principles of fractals, diffusion and nonlinear dynamics; the second with drug dissolution, release, and absorption; the third with empirical, compartmental, and stochastic pharmacokinetic models, and the fourth mainly with nonclassical aspects of pharmacodynamics. The classical models that have relevance and application to these sciences are also considered throughout. Many examples are used to illustrate the intrinsic complexity of drug administration related phenomena in the human, justifying the use of advanced modeling methods.

                            This timely and useful book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, bioengineering, and physiology.

                            4 out of 5 stars familiar ideas from applied maths.......2006-12-19

                            Many of the ideas in this book should already be familiar from other fields. Like the fractal behaviour of some types of kinetics. Or the modelling of random effects by Monte Carlo processes. Or the making/designing of stochastic models. And the effects of nonlinearity in some systems of equations that you might be studying.

                            But the merit of the text is perhaps more in showing how these ideas can also be applied to pharmacology. It also shows the extensive use of computers, without which much of the text would be totally impractical to perform.

                              The memoirs of Jews who were children during the Nazi occupation of Poland


                              This book serves as a memorial to loved ones who do not even have a grave, as well as a tribute to those who risked their lives and families to save a Jewish child. A wide variety of experiences during the Nazi occupation of Poland are related with wrenching simplicity and candor, experiences that illustrate horrors and deprivation, but also present examples of courage and compassion.
                              These recollections-whether of hiding in forests or camouflaged bunkers, fighting with groups of partisans, enduring the horrors of concentration camps, or living in fear under disguised identities-serve as eloquent testimony to the depth, diversity, and richness of humanity under siege and offer a powerful lesson for future generations. Written by people who remained in Poland after the war, these accounts convey a great immediacy; the authors are not removed from the environment in which these experiences took place. The psychological impact on these child survivors and the difficulties they encountered even after the war are very poignant. The passing years have brought urgency to the publication of these stories, as those who wrote them are the last surviving eyewitnesses of these tumultuous events.

                                Book Description

                                A Masterful, moving account of the life and work of one of the great judges of the twentieth century, whose work has left a profound mark on our legal, intellectual, and social landscape. The greatest judge never to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Learned Hand is widely considered the peer of Justices Holmes, Brandeis, and Cardozo. In his more than fifty years on the bench, he left an unequaled legacy of lastingly influential writings. This distinctive biography goes well beyond Hand's official work, however, to depict both a complex human being and the times in which he lived. The first to draw on the enormous collection of the judge's private papers, the eminent constitutional scholar Gerald Gunther vividly portrays a public man consumed by private doubts. Gunther's lively account moves from Hand's childhood in a formidable (and anxiety-producing) family of lawyers to his years at Harvard as a studious outsider, his frustrating experience in private law practice, his felt inadequacies in marriage, and his work as a federal judge. Throughout his life, Hand believed himself unworthy of the accolades bestowed upon him; self-doubt permeated all aspects of his life.

                                Gunther subtly explores the ties between the modest, uncertain man -- a liberal skeptic who was never "too sure [he was] right" -- and his public record, and suggests that Hand's personal traits shaped his modest approach to judging: the questioning human being could not help acting that way as a judge. Hand's most enduring legacy is his advocacy of judicial restraint: repeatedly he sounded the dangers of excessive activism in unelected judges. Yet he mustered the courage to support such basic values as freedom of expression -- from his personally costly defense of dissenters amid the hysteria of World War I to his strong affirmation of free speech in his rulings on obscenity and his outspoken attacks on McCarthyism in the 1950s.

                                This biography also offers the perspective of one of this era's most sensitive public figures on the rich political and social history of the first six decades of the twentieth century. By examining Hand's voluminous correspondence with such acquaintances as Walter Lippmann, Felix Frankfurter, and Herbert Croly (with whom he was a founding contributor to The New Republic), Gunther illuminates Hand's intense involvement with the public issues of his times, such as his enthusiastic support of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive party. Gunther gives us a graphic portrait of a complex and uncommon man whose thoughts and words inspired generations of Americans and continue to do so today.

                                5 out of 5 stars This is how biography should be written!.......2007-04-02

                                As a lawyer, I knew of Learned Hand from his opinions.

                                Thanks to Professor Gunther, I know about the real life human being who wrote them. Hand was a success at many things, but had more than his share of personal issues. The author does a fine job of blending Hand's personal life with his professional life.

                                The highest praise that I can offer is that Professor Gunther doesn't write at all like a lawyer. His prose is witty, captivating and entertaining. Somehow, Professor Gunther managed to overcome his legal training long enough to write sparkling prose.

                                5 out of 5 stars The best judicial biography written.......2006-02-11

                                Learned Hand was in many ways a great man. A dedicated judge, the gently forgiving husband of a straying wife, a kind and thoughtful person, brilliantly intelligent and clear-thinking - and yet, in the end, almost unknowable. Gunther's biography shines a light on every aspect of the judge's work and personality, including the mystery at his inner core. Hand really wasn't like other people, and Gunther, who knew him personally, captures that.

                                Gunther's prose is remarkably clear and direct. Another reviewer's remarks about his political bias are just mystifying to me. I don't think Hand's jurisprudence can be classified as either liberal or conservative, and I didn't come away with any sense of Gunther's politics. Frankfurter, the New Dealer, is not depicted as a villain, but rather as one of Hand's closest friends, and an extremely interesting person in his own right.

                                Judicial biographies are inherently difficult to write, because the subjects' lives tend to be externally uneventful. (Hand virtually never left his native New York state.) Also, old cases are dull unless you really get into them, but to do so requires long digressions from the biographical narrative. This is the only judicial biography I've read that overcomes both problems. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

                                4 out of 5 stars I Thought It Was Great.......2002-06-22

                                This is an outstanding biography written by one who is a true legal scholar in his own right. Gunther's understanding and insight into the legal issues surrounding the life of Learned Hand made reading this book a fine experience.

                                1 out of 5 stars insufferably boring........1999-10-26

                                notwithstanding Justice Powell's glowing introduction, reading this book is like wading through cold oatmeal. anyone who can endure this avalanche of turgid prose to mine those incredibly few nuggets of interesting information about this great judge is a dedicated person indeed. save your money.

                                2 out of 5 stars Assumes too much..........1999-04-07

                                First, I would note that the purely biographical portions of the book are solid. They are well researched and supported by abundant original sources such as letters, speeches and judicial opinions. The primary glaring errors in the biographical aspect of the book are (1) the author refuses to accept Hand's own analysis of his view of judicial review as manifest in his final lectures at Harvard. Instead he accuses Justice Frankfurter (his well-meaning villian of all occasions) as skewing Judge Hand's understanding of Brown v. Board of Education (which Hand criticised as judicial usurpation). The author can't accept that position because he doesn't believe it and, therefor, Hand must not have either. (2) There is no mention, other than one line in the forward, of Hand's most important contribution to law, the Hand formula used in tort analysis of negligence. I think the reason is because the author opposes the Law and Economics crowd and doesn't want to highlight Hand's most powerful contribution to them. Still, these are two glaring errors and reduce the value of the book significantly.

                                The other portions of the book are very poorly developed. I am speaking of the historical contextual aspects that any biographer must provide to make meaning out of a biography. The unfortunate tendency of this author is to provide conclusory statements about historical, economic, political and social issues without ANY substantive support. His solid practice of providing regular original source material for the biographical portions is sadly lacking in the contextual sections. That's unfortunate because the author is just plain wrong in several instances. Most biographers do go to the trouble of providing contextual, historical justifications for their blanket statements, but those that don't usually instead avoid providing any analysis and confine themselves to the facts, supplemented by the subject's letters or statements about it. So, for instance, we are informed that one of the "underlying causes" of the Great Depression was the "smugness" of the monied interests. That's an interesting "underlying" cause of an economic disaster. In another location we are instructed that conservaivtes were generally narrow and shallow and that although many of Hand's positions on certain political and legal issues were in conjunction with conservatives, they were held by Hand because of fidelity to his understanding of the Constitution while conservatives held them for reasons of race or personal gain and hid behind Constitutional claims. This is the simplest form of character assassination, not to mention intellectual tripe. There are multiple instances of this bias running through the book. Whenever Hand moved to the left he was "expanding" or "growing". Whenever he moved to the right (to the extent the author doesn't explain it away as something it clearly wasn't) he was in danger of "hardening". This kind of writing is poor, but, unfortunately, as previous reviewers here make clear, it slips right by readers and into their mind as accurate. I would ask Mr. Gunther to cross his campus to the office of Thomas Sowell and engage him in conversation prior to denouncing conservatives as narrow. He is simply a liberal bigot.

                                Taken all in all, the book may deserve slightly higher marks than I have given it. As a relation of Hand's life experiences it is quite good, but it suffers significantly from the author's unfounded political preconceptions.
