Excellent textbook for gaining an understanding of Finance.......2007-03-10

This text book is an excellent resource for understanding Financial Management. It was a required text in my MBA program and the book is easy to go through on your own. There are exercises, or self tests, at the end of each section in the chapters, as well as many types of problems and self test questions at the end of the chapters.

We had a mediocre teacher in my MBA program, so going through the text was imperative. The authors do a great job breaking down concepts and some of the examples at end of chapter sections have the answers.

I comes with a supplemental booklet to further help undertand the "Time Value of Money" which, according to the authors, is a difficult concept.

One big plus for this text is that it shows you how to figure out the problems using formulas, using financial caluclators, and using an Excel spreadsheet.

I highly recommend doing the examples and problems in the book, and ordering the study guide. The study guide has additional examples and problems to work through and is the perfect supplement.

This is one text I am going to keep!

Book Description

DNA transfer to cultured cells

Edited by Katya Ravid and R. Ian Freshney

Rapid advances in DNA transfer technology have transformed many disciplines, ranging from molecular genetics to biotechnology. Scientists now have the means to introduce copies of genes into different cell types, then detect the expression of these genes in the cell. It is now possible to regulate cell growth that may lead to cancer, develop new biopharmaceuticals, and apply knowledge about the role of genes in cell processes to basic research in molecular genetics.

DNA Transfer to Cultured Cells is the first quick reference to all of the established techniques for the transfer of genetic material to cells in vitro. Featuring contributions by leading researchers in the field, this detailed guide walks the reader through a variety of DNA transfer methods, describes their application to specific cell types, and integrates aspects of molecular biology with tissue culture. Offering overviews and detailed protocols for the techniques under discussion in each of its sections, this book covers an exceptionally broad array of topics, including:
* Viral infection
* Electroporation
* Phosphate precipitation
* DEAE Dextran
* Liposomes
* Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs)
* Whole chromosome transfer
* Enhanced expression.

Special sections at the end of each chapter list suppliers for necessary reagents and materials. This easy-to-use, self-contained guide addresses key developments of recent years as well as emerging trends in DNA transfer. For practical applications in cell biology, genetics, heredity, biotechnology, or evolution, DNA Transfer to Cultured Cells is a unique and unparalleled resource.

Book Description

Gems of wisdom about golf and lifeÂ—and a spirited call for a return to the gameÂ's core valuesÂ—from one of the gameÂ's most respected elder statesmen and former champions

Legendary player and teacher Jackie Burke is the preeminent elder statesman of American golf. A PGA Champion, a Masters Champion, a Vardon Trophy winner, and a PGA Player of the Year, he won four consecutive tournaments in 1952; and is a winner of seventeen events on the PGA Tour, a five-time Ryder Cup member (twice as captain), and a member of the PGA, Texas Golf, and World Golf Halls of Fame. Before leaving the PGA Tour he cofounded (with Jimmy Demaret) the world-famous Champions Golf Club (host of the Ryder Cup, U.S. Amateur, and five PGA Tour Championships) and has instructed students including Phil Mickelson, Hal Sutton, Steve Elkington, Ben Crenshaw, and many other PGA Tour pros in a career that has spanned seven decades.

Reverberating with the straight-talking Texas wisdom that could only come from Jackie Burke, ItÂ's Only a Game will bring the words of this venerable sage to everyone who loves the links. Spiced with anecdotes from a long and illustrious career, this stirring book features pithy insights on the nature of competition and the erosion of amateur play. Burke goes on the record about profit-minded equipment manufacturers and self-promoting golf gurus. His provocative topics include insight into why the 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup team suffered its worst defeat ever (Burke was a cocaptain), the alarmingly high cost of playing public and resort courses, country clubs that stress cosmetic appearances over the playing of the game, and a host of other topics. He also provides no-nonsense, time-tested secrets for improving anyoneÂ's golf game, based not on shallow Â“tipsÂ” but on a well-rounded, sensible approach to the game that he began developing before the Great Depression.

Acclaim for ItÂ's Only a Game:
Â“Easily the best golf instructional-type book since Harvey PenickÂ's Little Red Book. . . . This book is a classic.Â”
Â—Bud Shrake, coauthor Harvey PenickÂ's Little Red Book Â“Jackie is a warrior. He is a born competitor who meets every challenge head on, on and off the golf course. His values and integrity are unassailable, as pure as those of any man I've known.Â”
Â—Ben Crenshaw

Â“This book is pure Jackie, and I hope that from reading it you get some of the fulfillment and enjoyment heÂ's given to me and others over the years.Â”
Â—Steve Elkington

Customer Reviews:

Pure Jackie..........2007-06-01

Now I am going to be somewhat bias in my review simply because I know Mr. Burke and his family from my years as a cart boy at Champions during the mid-80s'.
I would, and have, recommended this book to my friends who golf and my non-golf friends.
One of my favorite parts in the book is when he talks about being an Assistant Captain on the Ryder Cup Team with Chris Riley.

A must read for the true golfer.......2007-04-19

The title of can be a bit misleading but not in the way one might assume. The title seems to convey the diea that Burke doesn't take golf as seriously as others; the exact opposite is true. He views the game through a different viewpoint where instead of the game being involved within every aspect of your life, life is involved throughout the game of golf. He at the same time views golf not as a game to be taken lightly but instead one that falls back on the basic human instincts of competition. I've had the personal luxury of growing up and maturing as a golfer at the club he and Jimmy Demaret founded, Champions Golf Club, and because of Jack Burke I see the game differently from my peers. This book comes as close as possible to discovering who he is and the way he believes the game of golf should be played. He hasn't been caught up by who he is and what he has accomplished; he instead continues to try to teach others what golf is, what it used to be, and what it should continue to be.

Review of "It's Only a Game".......2007-03-25

Great book, full of the wit and wisdom of Jackie Burke. Fun to read and a combination of personal reflections, advice and a few tips along the way.

Burke Fan Club.......2007-01-11

Jackie Burke is a breath of fresh air amidst the hype of modern golf writing. His clear and concise commentary on all aspects of the game leaves little to conjecture. A great read...

A definite pleaser for any golf fan!!.......2007-01-05

When growing up, you always need an older mentor. Mr. Burke has been just that to Steve Elkington and Hal Sutton and shares alot of the wisdom he gave to them for the price of a book! I highly recommend getting this as it will really shape you as a player and in alot of other ways as well.

Good tool for young students.......2006-11-10

My daughter uses the dictionary constantly. She is only 9 but finds it very helpful, especially during her homewok and it is not as difficult to follow or understand as the adult version.

Websters New World Student's Dictionary.......2006-11-10

This is the dictionary my child's teacher suggested. It is a very good dictionary for middle school age children. The print, though not as large as a children's primary dictionary, is not nearly as small as the print of college dictionaries. The volume is large enough to encompass a large volume of words, also a plus for school work. It contains definitions, synonyms and antonyms. This is most helpful for homework. The book is hardbound which makes it easier to use for children as they do not need to keep one hand one the page to keep the book open while writing. We have yet to find a shortfall, when using this dictionary. :)

Children's dictionary.......2003-11-30

Excellent buy.
Great dictionary for school-aged children. Easy to read and understand definitions.

I have 4 other dictionaries and this one takes the beating!!.......2003-11-20

This dictionary is relevant, up to date (does not include too many obsolete definitions) and like another person said, when you need to look up word a good dictionary will give you a clear and precise definition which doesn't give you other words to look up in the process.

Wonderful........2001-12-12

Just what we needed. Perfect for teaching children.

An excellent tool for writing!.......2006-07-06

I own this book and have found it to be invaluable with the information it contains. It explains and shows various examples of types of sentences (ie: simple, compound, compound-complex), it goes on to explain how to write paragraphs and where to place the topic sentence (ie: the 1st sentence, 2nd, 3rd, last, etc.), and it explains how to combine paragraphs to form complete papers (ie: book reports, essays, literary analyses, research papers, thesis, etc.) by using a variety of methods of development (ie: analogy, cause and effect, classification, comparison and contrast, definition, description, narration, opinion, persuasion, and process analysis). It is also an excellent resource for how to write letters, e-mails, outlines, resumes, short stories, etc. Included is a section on grammar, usage, and mechanics (how nouns, verbs, agreement of subject and verb, etc) as well as punctuation. This is a thorough book for any writing endeavor, and I highly recommend it. I wish it had been in print MANY years ago when I was in college, but it is useful for junior high up through doctorate degrees. It is definitely worth its price (which isn't that high for all it contains!). It is also not hard to understand!

Par excellence.......2000-11-20

Sorenson's skill with textbook writing derives from an understanding of people and their problems with language. Only a master teacher could have written this guide.

The only book my high-school son actually uses!.......1999-08-16

I brought home a stack of library books about writing to help my son with high school writing assignments and research papers. Webster's was the only one he actually used. It is laid out nicely and helpful information is available in the kind of "bites" our kids are used to. It is now part of our home library. PS. A more lengthy perusal of the guidelines for various kinds of student writing would greatly benefit any student willing to put in some time to improve their skills and their grades.

A "must-have" for every parent who helps with homework........1998-10-05

This is the easiest and most useful reference available for teachers, students and parents. I have been using this book since'94 to help my children understand and exacute various kinds of writing assignments. Valuable from 4th grade through college level.

The "Bible" of writing handbooks!.......1998-05-08

This is my second time around in college. I pulled the standard "drop-out-after-two-years-to-start-a-family" routine, and am now finishing up at 40 years of age. My writing skills had rusted slightly over the years, so this book has been an absolute life saver in college. I could not maintain my 4.0 GPA without it!
