New digital technologies promise to enable large numbers of people to work wherever and whenever they wish and to choose between a stationary or nomadic lifestyle. In Digital Nomad, Makimoto and Manners explore the new potential for modern nomadism, beginning with the technology that is making it possible. They cite some examples of current nomads, such as the president of a major European technology company who does not have the traditional perk of the president's office. Instead, he spends his workweek traveling around Europe from one company site to the next. Digital technology has made it more economical and efficient for the company to work this way. But the authors point out that there is more to nomadism than the technical ability. They discuss how nomads tend to be difficult to track, making them difficult to tax and control. Many governments see nomads as threats and some governments are currently discouraging nomadic lifestyles that have existed for thousands of years. How will world governments react then to those who opt for a high-tech nomadic life? The authors also discuss what parts of the world may be most attractive to tomorrow's digital nomads, speculating on how future technological developments may further enhance the ability to live and work on the go. It's debatable if many people really want a life with no physical roots, but Makimoto and Manners's speculations read like a dream come true for those who'd love more variety in their work lives.

Dated but good book about the Apple PowerBook........1997-04-09

This book is very well written book. Most information in this book remains vaild such as good power saving techniques and what to bring while on the road. Information about the PowerBooks are about the 100 series so its about a couple of generations behind. It would be nice if this book was updated with another edition

Being Tuareg is an Art.......2007-01-05

This book gives an excellent overview of the Tuareg Culture. It addresses the customs, history, Berber language and it's poetry, as well as the material culture of the Tuareg. The examples of the leather work and jewelry are superb. It was my pleasure to attend the sale of Tuareg jewelry at Fort Mason, CA, which is mentioned on page 67 of the book. This book is the catalogue for an exhibit which will visit the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts, at Stanford University, in 2007. If you like things Tuareg, you will love this book.

Amazon.com

At the age of 93, Ernst Mayr has forgotten more about biology than most people ever learn. Mayr has been more than just an eyewitness to the amazing advances in biological theory and understanding over the century; he was an active participant as well, helping to formulate the combination of Darwinian thought and modern genetics that is the bedrock of today's standard theory of evolution. But biology has always been something of a poor relation to the other physical sciences--subjects such as physics or chemistry that have strict rules of cause and effect and a certain predictability. Biology, on the other hand, is based on a muddle of combined causes, pure chance, and evidence drawn from unrelated areas, yet it is the one science that addresses those aspects of nature that can't be reduced to mere laws of chemistry or physics. In his book This Is Biology, Ernst Mayr sets out to show us how and why.

Though biology is a relatively young science, born in the 19th century, its roots go back to the days of Aristotle; Mayr traces its development from the ancient Greeks to the advent of modern molecular techniques. Woven throughout this history of the science is an explanation of its relation to other sciences and to the humanities, particularly history and ethics. This Is Biology was written with great thought and care and requires the same from its readers; for those interested in the science of life as well as one great man's life in science, this book is the natural selection.

Book Description

Biology until recently has been the neglected stepchild of science, and many educated people have little grasp of how biology explains the natural world. Yet to address the major political and moral questions that face us today, we must acquire an understanding of their biological roots. This magisterial new book by Ernst Mayr will go far to remedy this situation. An eyewitness to this century's relentless biological advance and the creator of some of its most important concepts, Mayr is uniquely qualified to offer a vision of science that places biology firmly at the center, and a vision of biology that restores the primacy of holistic, evolutionary thinking.

As he argues persuasively, the physical sciences cannot address many aspects of nature that are unique to life. Living organisms must be understood at every level of organization; they cannot be reduced to the laws of physics and chemistry. Mayr's approach is refreshingly at odds with the reductionist thinking that dominated scientific research earlier in this century, and will help to redirect how people think about the natural world.

This Is Biology can also be read as a "life history" of the discipline--from its roots in the work of Aristotle, through its dormancy during the Scientific Revolution and its flowering in the hands of Darwin, to its spectacular growth with the advent of molecular techniques. Mayr maps out the territorial overlap between biology and the humanities, especially history and ethics, and carefully describes important distinctions between science and other systems of thought, including theology. Both as an overview of the sciences of life and as the culmination of a remarkable life in science, This Is Biology will richly reward professionals and general readers alike.

PHILOSOPHICAL NATURALISTS! .......2005-06-27

     As a field of inquiry Biology has always been somewhat suspect. When first introduced to it we are told that "biology is the science of life," but this is almost immediately followed by the rather sheepish admission that "scientists are unable to agree on a standard definition of life." (This quote is from Biology The Easy Way, which admittedly is not in quite the same league as Prof. Mayr's work. But, as his first chapter here shows, there's not a great deal of daylight between his position and that of the simpler introductory text just quoted). Hmmm! A "science of life" that can't define "life." Not exactly reassuring news after more than two hundred years of inquiry!

     After this inauspicious start, Biology rather quickly degenerates into a prolonged exercise in classification. Not that it's not fun deciding whether Neocons are poisonous fungi or uselful protists, but it is after all a limited exercise. Once we move beyond the issue of classification we find that Biology has remarkably little to offer as a field of study in its own right. It is, at root, a field for amateurs, for naturalists who are impressed by the variety and beauty (or ugliness) of Nature.

    And there is much in Nature, and Biology too, to admire. Who among us is not impressed by the mighty Sequoia? (Even Neocons think they make neat window-boxes). And isn't it fun to be able to demonstrate your superior knowledge by intoning wisely at keg parties that "The whale, you know, is not really a fish. It's a mammal. As indeed is the bat."

     But, party tricks aside, what else does Biology offer?

     Most students rather quickly come to the conclusion that it's less a field OF scientific study than FOR scientific application. Chemistry, for instance, when applied to Biology is endlessly engaging, and profitable too. Biochemistry is not a new science; it is merely the application of a real science, Chemistry, to a fertile field, Biology.

     Then too of course there's the whole question of Evolution, which invariably brings all the more creulous "scientists" out of the woodwork to rail against so-called "Creationism." For most of us, these are not really opposing choices. We embrace both without any great discomfort. As Whitman once said: "We contain multitudes." Or, in Shakespeare's phrase: "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in [either] philosophy." But for the "scientists" and the "creationists," it's a crusade; a sort of intellectual jihad in which each side fights with a crazed and unreasoning determination to annihilate the other. It's the arrogance of both that turns the rest of us off. They both act, and argue, as though dogmatic orthodoxy is our only guide. They seek Consistency, not Truth.

     To his credit, Mayr is not a crazed intellectual jihadist, and he has answers aplenty for each and all of my (above-noted) objections to Biology as an intellectual pursuit worthy of our time and effort. His book is wide-ranging and knowledgeable, as one would expect from a man of his stature. But he is also very well-versed in the history and philosophy of science, which is unfortunately all-too-rare among his contemporary fellow-scientists. Most of them pooh pooh philosophy as unworthy of their superior intellects!

    This Is Biology is an excellent work, which college-level students of science, (and philosphy; and indeed, history) should read. I don't find Mayr's arguments convincing, but I do think his wonderfully-engaging book will provide an entree to a better class of keg party!

A difficult book.......2005-05-11

The title is misleading. If you expect Biology 101 you're going to be disappointed.

Mayr assumes a great deal about the educational level of his readers, so perhaps the book should should carry a subtitled warning to the unwary.

My sound bite description of the book is The Philosophy of Biology.

It's not about living things per se but about the study of them, with particular emphasis on the way in which the biology is closer to history than it is to areas of science that involve the exploration of universal properties. While the future behavior of subatomic particles and the formation of stars and galaxies may be, to a certain extent, predictable, biology is about what has been, not what will be.

Mayr accepts this, but brilliantly defends biology as a science (is history a science?). Whether you find him convincing depends on how much you respect the force of his conviction, if not the arguments themselves. Mayr's not an easy read and it's not always immediately apparent what points he is making.

Mayr was perhaps the world's greatest living biologist, or at least its most visible, to those who look for such things. Now that he has died, I feel driven to go back for a reread, after which perhaps I'll post another review.

Biology explained by experience itself.......2004-06-24

Ernst Mayr is one of my favorite natural science writers. He has the experience of a lifetime (to say the least, since he has over 70 active years in the field) in biology. Mayr has an exquisite writing style and lots of anecdotes to share, besides he surely is an intellectual though never makes you feel neophyte, on the contrary, he guides you with ease and a critic view on nature itself. "This is Biology" is enriched with personal opinions and, of course, reflects the authors' view modeled by only seven decades of experience among the best.

Reflections from a working biologist.......1998-04-22

Mayr's book is a superb reflection on the place biology deserves among the sciences and among all other intellectual disciplines. He clearly explains the accomplishments and uniqueness of biological science. As one would expect, his reflections on evolutionary biology are his strongest.

Excellent Science, Bad Philosophy.......1998-01-17

This is an excellent and extremely accessible (but not in a dumbed down sense) introduction to biology. My only serious complaint is in Mayr's treatment of ethics, which is a good example of what bad can happen when a specialist doesn't stick to his specialty. His discussion of the possible biological origins of certain ethical behavior starts off fine, with an explication of how though individualistic selection can produce egoism, kinship selection and group selection can extend an organism's altruistic "interest" to other members of its kin or, larger, to its group. So far so good. But as Mayr notes what Darwin pointed out, altruistic behavior via kinship selection never extends to every member of a species. So by the end of the discussion of the biology of altruistic behavior, what we have are explanations for why someone might act altruistically towards their "in-group". Yet later, in discussing the proposition that moral inclinations are not innate, Mayr appears to endorse the proposition that reprehensible behavior towards minorities (including slavery) is, as Mayr put it, "amoral". But a group subordinating the interests of an outgroup for the benefit of the ingroup is precisely what one would expect from Mayr's biological account of altrusitic behavior directed solely towards one's ingroup! At the very least, Mayr gives a good account for why one would be biologically inclined to act altruistically towards one's ingroup, but provides zero biological reason for any transgroup universal altruism. From then on, Mayr only gets worse, delving into the murky fields of philosophy and moral theology. Aside from Mayr's wildly overstated implication that Darwin proved that God has nothing to do with the origin of morality (when did biology start coming up with transcendental proofs like that?), Mayr further sullies an otherwise excellent book by critiquing Judeo-Christian ethics' relevance in today's world. That has nothing to do with biology, and if someone wanted to read much better discussions on such a subject, there are much better treatments in the philosophy section of the bookstore. Furthermore, Mayr's broad brush overview of Judeo-Christian morality reeks of straw man superficiality. Perhaps Mayr didn't think it worth his time to study serious treatments on Judeo-Christian morality, but if he didn't, he shouldn't have broached the subject in a biology book. Finally, that Mayr can discuss the scientific bases of morality without mentioning the classic problem of the "naturalistic fallacy" (i.e. in this context, what IS the case biologically, does not entail what OUGHT to be the case morally), AKA the "fact-value gap", indicates how superficial (or unread) a discussion of ethics Mayr engages in. If creationists sound silly talking about biology, biologists should get a clue about how they must sound when they try to talk seriously about theology and moral philosophy.

Great skiing style; overblown writing.......2006-01-17

This book has the best advice for the intermediate, intuitive skier. I was an very good intermediate skier for years on my old, long, straight skis and finally bought a pair of those new shaped things. I liked them, but didn't see much advantage because I would always skid my turns with both legs and "muscle" my way down mountain, having fun and coming home with sore thighs. After reading the first chapter of this book I become a significantly better skier in one day. One hour, actually. The technique is that good - I ski better, faster, turn more easily, and come home with no leg fatigue at all. I get better each time I go now, instead of going for years and never getting any better.

The only drawback to this book is that you have to wade through tons of rather cutesy, repetitive, faux-folksy writing... lots of it. Hundreds of pages of personal satori, observational "humor" and hawking equipment sales and ski services, when the actual instructions could take maybe ten pages to cover.

Still, if you're been a good intermediate skier for a while, this book will make you a beginning expert instantly. If you're new to skiing, this book will save you time.

You truly can break through with this book.......2005-10-24

I have always been a skier stuck in the `intermediate rut'; if I was even that good. Two things are for sure. I started skiing at about 30 years of age and reached the point after a couple years of skiing about 1 week a year, where I could get down any blue and most black runs, but would look erratic and out of control (I was) doing so. Any I stayed at that level for about the next 10 years, with virtually no improvement.

Then I bought the predecessor to this book and later bought this book. And the 1st year (remember, this is once a year for about 6 days each trip) I did what was taught in the book and I saw improvement, though nobody else really saw it. But I learned things and was in a little better control. The next time, more improvement. And then last spring it all clicked. Skis together, smooth carving turns, balance dead on, I actually knew what I was doing and was having the time of my life. And other people noticed. Of course, I still have a long way to go, but already I have reached a level I had previously convinced myself I would never reach.

Buy the book, do what the man says, give it a little time and you will ski they way you always dreamed of skiing.

Great Book to Help Intermediate Skiers Move Up.......2005-01-25

This is a great book for intermediate skiers. It is well-written with a logical progression of information and exercices. This is not really a book for people who are already expert skiers looking for extreme skiing advice (although there are some good introductory sections on skiing powder, bumps and steep terrain).

Personally, after many years of not much skiing, I picked this up to re-orient myself and learn a little bit skiing on shaped skis. This book was very helpful in that regard.

I have not seen the video, but I would guess that it would be an excellent companion to the book.

Expert Skiing for Dummies.......2004-12-26

Perhaps this book belongs in the "... for Dummies" series. It takes you step-by-step through basic expert maneuvers. Having said that, nothing beats live instruction from a real instructor at an outstanding ski school (for example, Taos Ski Valley) and practice, practice, practice. Lito has done a good job in rendering something physical that really must be mastered by doing it, into written words. It's certainly worth the $13 price and belongs in every skier's library. It ranks among the best how-to skiing books.

Quick and great way to learn skiing........2004-03-02

I usually don't right reviews, but this book is truly great. I just started to ski (6 days skiing) and I can comfortably go to any blue, and some blacks. It doesn't indicate performance level however. The most important that I don't just get down safely, I can ENJOY every second of it. Would not be able to get so much fun without this book. Highly recommend it!
P.S> Get the video also. Much easy to read the book and see it in realty.

mis-translated!.......2002-01-05

I got this book hoping I could learn the language before I went on my vacation to Casablanca. What I did find out later (I wouldnt have known unless someone told me) was that some words were not ranslated properly! One of the transliterations of a word gave the Arabic word: "tarjim" which means "translate" in Arabic! Big mistake! Also, some words in the translation for a phrase were missing. I wouldnt recommend it, unless you are desperate. Plus, a lot of the books pages (which aren't many, it's a very thin book)were taken up with how to count to ten in Berber, Berber phrases, and some French phrases. If I wanted a tiny French phrasebook I would have bought one. This book is really small and a lot of it is wasted with the French and Berber stuff, and too many incorrect (moroccan)Arabic transliterations.
