como se debe realizar la maduración en los platano

This is a great book to read with great pictures. Lots of good info about how the cars were designed, what the market was like at the time and how the cars performed. I wish the publisher made a book like this for the 70's also...

I used to for my EIT test. It's a great book preparing me for IE EIT.

This book is about dinosaur-commemorative stamps, the art behind the stamps and the dinosaurs that inspired the art. Many children (and their parents) are discovering stamps in the mid-to-late elementary years, and the beautiful dinosaur stamp releases of the past few years are a great way to lead from a small child's fascination with dinosaurs to begin a lifetime hobby. I purchased the featured page "The World of Dinosaurs" as a stocking stuffer for my child when it came out a couple of years ago, and we were delighted to match it up with the book. The book itself was a discovery of a stamp-loving friend. As a person who does not buy books that will only be read once, I recommend it as both a gift and a worthy addition to the home library.

LeFanu's Irish provenance and his superfluous stylistic skills - not to mention his safe dead distance - make him the a prime candidate for Gothic master celebre. But add to that the fact that Bram 'TombRaider' Stoker pinched his plotlines, and the fact that Monty R James 'approved' of the maestro, and you have utterly impeccable credentials.

But I didn't know this as a young man. All I knew was that my father had told me terrifying banshee tales - that his grandfather had told him in Ireland during the forties - and that by chance I discovered 'Madam Crowl's Ghost' in a wet school library one dismal dark afternoon. I read 'Sherry' (if the James afficiandos can refer to MRJ as 'Monty' then .... you get the picture) that afternoon and my life imploded ...... overnight, or rather, over afternoon, I became a devout depressive, marked by a strangely aloof and artistic air. I quoted Wilde, went to Cure concerts before they left London, and wore black eyeliner to compliment my drear Gothic clothing.

Enough about me. The tales of LeFanu are stunning. Everyone loves something because of a basically selfish reason, steeped in sentiment or posture. LeFanu was sublime. He deliberately plotted where Stoker stumbled. Only Aickmann and Machen took up the mantle of provacateur ambiguer as competently as he did. (Joyce doesn't count, though 'The Dead' from 'The Dubliners' comes close.)

I write, and if I could pen a story half as brilliant as 'Carmilla', then I would die ..... now.

Read LeFanu. Trust M.R.James. Ghost stories are not Stephen King gross horror hell raiser tasteless gore fests, they are dream haunted poems, visions of ambigious insight. Close your eyes. Picture a moonlit garden with an avenue of silver trees. At the end, a blue grey statue, a stretching saint reaching for the glitter above. You walk down the avenue, soft grey grass underfoot, running cool fingers through the mossy leaves. Somewhere a stream is gurgling. The moon washes your tired face. Then you look up, and to your horror, the statue has changed! It is facing you. The saint has shifted from his stance, and is slowly clambering down. You look up to his face .... no, you cannot! It is too horrible! His grey lifeless eyes are now emblazoned with volcano hate, boring their way into your very soul ......

And there the story should stop.

Which is why, dear reader, you should always read books by dead people.

After reading this book, and studying the various applications used in the study of statistical analysis of quality control; it has facilitated my understanding of the subject beyond my horizon. I highly recommend this textbook for students as well as those who value the importance in the management of quality control.

When I looked at the cover of this book, I knew it was going to be contrarian. It shows volatility moving in the opposite direction to growth. Looking inside the book, I found the cover figure in Chapter 9 where it was described as volatility versus growth for 75 years of the Ibbotson Index starting in 1926. I looked at the Ibbotson table, and, indeed with the authors' eleven outlier years eliminated, the correlation is still negative (-.142). (With all 75 years included, I found the correlation to be (-.317).) At any rate, the Markowitzian notion of finding how large you can stand for volatility to be and then finding the portolio which maximizes growth is stood on its head.

The authors come up with an alternative to the Markowitz approach for portfolio selection based on something they call a simugram, which looks to be computer intensive.

Much of the book is spent on fundamental analysis, and indeed the authors do not seem favorably disposed to technical analysis. They dump on Black-Scholes and blame its use for the collapse of LTCM and Enron.

Some finance professionals will find much of this book annoying, since it attacks many standard concepts, such as the Efficient Market Hypothesis. And it seems to attack some of the basic tools in the finance tool kit, such as "risk neutral" evaluation.

One of the troubling things I found is that though the authors attack the canon of modern finance, they have only limited alternatives to recommend. They seem to recommend either doing deep fundamental analysis, using their complex simugram portfolio analysis, or putting one's money into an index fund. Most of us don't have the time to do the first or the software to do the second. To do the third really gives up on mathematical finance.

This book is a classic "hands on" audit reference; written with the same "how to" style as "Operational Profitability". I highly recommend this book.

There are several comprehensive nuclear medicine textbooks and I have used them all from time to time. This is without a doubt the most clinically relevant, and contains excellent radiopharmacy and basic science information as well.

A key tenet of Dr Kristal's book is that no specific diet is right for everybody and that one's optimal diet can be determined by metabolic typing. His book builds upon information slowly developed over more than 40 years by a variety of practitioners. Another key tenet is that a healthy body has an ideal blood pH of 7.46, varying only within a narrow range. One of Dr Kristal's personal contributions is the development of simple and inexpensive quantitative procedures to determine a person's blood pH and metabolic type. They avoid the previous invasive taking of large venous blood samples over 14 hours by standard phlebotomy techniques. Instead he takes 4 drop-size blood samples from the finger over about 2 hours during a modified fasting glucose challenge test. He also tests samples of urine and saliva, measures blood pressure and pulse, both standing and lying down, respiration rate, time of holding one's breath, body fat, and weight. He also records self-reported observations at specific times during the glucose challenge, and takes a short personal history. The book explains how this information is used.

While the reason is currently unknown, each individual has a dominant mechanism controlling their metabolism. The two most fundamantal control mechanisms that regulate blood pH are the rate of oxidation and the actions of the autonomic nervous system. Each of these two metabolic types has two sub-types: fast or slow oxidative-dominant, and sympathetic or parasympathetic autonomic-dominant. From the test information, one's dominant metabolic sub-type can be determined, which then determines the optimum diet.

A major discovery is that most food items will have opposite effects on the blood pH of the major metabolic types, oxidative and autonomic. A food or drink that acidifies the blood of one type will alkalize the blood of the other. This is also true for many vitamin and mineral supplements. This knowledge, which has been verified by tests and clinical results, runs counter to both orthodox and alternative medical beliefs.

Fast oxidizers and parasympathetic autonomics have blood that is too acid; slow oxidizers and parasympathetic autonomics have blood that is too alkaline. Because of the opposite effects mentioned above, nutrients are catagorized as Group I for slow oxidizers and sympathetics and Group II for fast oxidizers and parasympathetics. To greatly oversimplify (read the book for details), Group I people should have a diet dominated by complex carbohydrates and Group II should have a diet dominated by protein and fat. Each type emphasizes specific vegetables, fruits, and proteins. Thus no popular weight-loss diet can work for everybody, but by chance may work for some.

Using vitamin C as an example, ascorbic acid will acidfy oxidative metabolic types and alkalize autonomic types, while calcium ascorbate does the opposite. Group I requires the ascorbic acid form because it acidfies the slow oxidizer, but alkalizes the sympathetic. Group II requires the calcium ascorbate form because it alkalizes the fast oxidizer and acidifies the parasympathetic. Among foods, brocolli is a Group I food and cauliflower is a Group II food. Again, see the book for details.

The first three chapters of the book cover the theory and practice of metabolic typing. The next four cover weight control and other health issues; cancer (Dr Kristal recently discovered that nearly 80% of his clients presenting with cancer were Group I, and nearly 80% presenting with diabetes were Group II); general nutritional information; and dental toxicity (his training was as a dentist). The book includes an appendix explaining the details of metabolic typing, and another in which an MD examines cancer and metabolic typing.

The book discusses literature published in 2002. The authors acknowledge when they don't know the answer to some issue, and they discuss rate of success. When I was typed, Dr Kristal discovered that I was insulin resistant and on the verge of being diabetic. My HMO had not found this. His book is much like him: unpretentious, caring, very knowledgeable, and not driven by a need for fame or money. He is 77 years old, still works 5 days a week, and gives seminars on the weekends. He plays tennis an hour a day and works out in the gym another hour. Using his own recommendations that he gives to his clients, he put his own injury-induced liposarcoma into remission 4 years ago. He practices "Physician, heal thyself!"
