Comprehensive references of bochemical pathways are not common, especially with well described cofactors, modulators, and interactions with disparate pathways. This book could provide such a useful reference, unfortunately, the quality of the layout is so poor as to make it very difficult to read. Poor graphic quality, exceptionally small fonts, and poor color choices render what should be a most useful reference into a visually challenging document. At the price, the book is a disappointment, although the content is great. One wishes that the editors would rerelease it after completely revising the graphics and production quality, as the content is indeed very useful.

This is by far the best written and illustrated book for pathways I have ever seen. If I was teaching a course, it would be absolutely required.

The book "Biochemical Pathways..." is the book of choice if you quickly need information on a particular biochemical reaction, substrate or enzyme and serves well as an excellent reference guide. It is a comprehensive book version of the well-known Boehringer Mannheim wallchart "Biochemical Pathways" that can surely be found in almost every laboratory on the world. The book is color-coded and in addition to the enormous biochemical wallchart data gives a large body of overview information about fundamental aspects concerning enzyme structure, viruses and even the immune system.

I am mad about Gerhard Richter. Especially when it comes to his masked and stripped oil paintings. Therefore it makes sense that I would have to acquire this little book full of detail panels of Richter's painting. That's it. That's why you would buy this thing. It's straightforward and there's really no other use for it once you are done staring. It gets filed under "reference" in my library. When someone wants to see what it is about this German painter that get me so juiced, and we don't want to run out to the Saint Louis Art Museum and I don't have Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation lying around (or even if I do) then I let them flip through this little art book.

it is so sensual - makes me want to lick the pages. i sit with my daughter (21 months old) and we both just sink into it. life is beautiful. and sad.

Easy reading, text flows from subject to subject really well. I have no accounting background and found the information easy to assimilate.

Provides a foundation for analyzing a country's conceptual framework of accounting. The authors have a wealth of international experience; Mueller has recently been appointed to the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Unfortunately, the book lacks full financial statement analysis problems

Given the fact that this is the only book available (to my knowledge) on the great BMW E24 6 series, it is a must for fans. Apart from that, there is heaps of info on all the different models and on BMW history. Jeremy Walton has certainly his share of research. There are just a few things that I would like to have read about/improved, but these things are just minor things. Some topics are not covered in chronological order, which makes it a bit confusing. The good things about this book is that is covers cars manufactured for both the American market as well as the European market (although I get the impression that mr. Walton focusses more on the English market), so it is a good read both sides of the atlantic. Bearing that in mind, most numbers are given in American and European units. Good stuff!

Great non-technical reference book on the 6 series history and development including racing history for the US and Europe, Performance, and production figures and specifications for each year. Also, Insider's tips on 6 series purchase, ownership and restoration. It won't help you fix your leaky PS reservoir but it will give you an appreciation of the 6 Series history. Also contains discussions of the 6's predecessors like the 2002, M1 and 3.0 CSL/I. Highly recommended book for 6 series enthusiasts.

....back in the word association days in which he did his best to fit psyche into the mold of Newtonian science. Outdated except as a history of Jung's early work and glimpses at later developments.

With 20th century starts, C.G. Jung began his career as a psychiatrist. This book opens with Jung's dissertation "On the psychology and pathology of so-called occult phenomena". This study foreshadows much of his later works, and analyzes the case of somnambulism in a girl with poor inheritance. The next is "On hysterical misreading". In reply to the review of an earlier paper, accepted views on hysterical misreading are reiterated, and the theories are supported by interpretations from a clinical case. This book also includes studies of "hyterical parapraxes in reading", "Cryptomnesia", "On manic mood disorder", "simulated insanity" etc. It might be interesting to compare Jung's early papers with "Study on Hysterie", Freud's first psycho-anaystic work.

The amazon.com review accurately describes the contents of this book, but I was disappointed to find relatively few color photographs of linoleum patterns. Someone will write/produce a wonderful book with many color photos of linoleum, but this is not it.

I love linoleum. I have been colleting it for years. I am going to start a museum some day. This book is definitely the highlight of my linoleum reading! A must have for linoleum enthusiasts. Check it out!

Sorry, but this is more an SAP advertisement for why you should consider mySAP.com, than a reference on what it is. In fairness, the various industry solutions are reasonably well explained, and so is how mySAP.com addresses those industries. But it's really about the level of depth and detail, which is not much in this case. For example, at the end of each chapter, a case study is provided. These, however, are generally a bit vague and "marketing-sounding", while the name of the company or client is often omitted, affecting credibility.

Granted, the whole subject is extensive, however, I was expecting more. It doesn't help that this is a translation from German, which tends to make the reading a bit "stiff" and academic compared to what we are accustomed to in North America.

You need not be a SAP R/3 consultant to benefit from this interesting book. In fact, I am not an R/3 expert and have little direct experience with the product. My motivation for reading this book is to better understand ERP in general as it applies to various industry segments, and SAP R/3 and PeopleSoft in particular because of a consulting assignment.

Before reading this book I was under the mistaken impression that SAP R/3 was inflexible and required any company implementing it to completely redesign their business processes to accommodate the software. In many respects this is true. However, SAP has a tagline that "All Industries Are Not Created Equal", which means that a generic solution enforced by an application is not a real solution at all. Using this book I discovered two things: (1) SAP R/3 is a lot more flexible than I heard and can be highly customized using industry-specific solution maps to a number of industries, and (2) the market challenges of the 20 industries covered in this book.

What I like is the consistent way each industry if presented, using a fixed format that discusses each industry's market trends, requirements and solution maps. As a consultant who works across a wide landscape of industries I was able to quickly absorb some of the characteristics of each industry and their key challenges, as well as see how an ERP solution fit within them. Of course, learning about how SAP as a product supports these industries is also useful, and I suspect essential to consultants and constancies focused on this particular product.

The book is a quick read, informative and definitely a worthwhile investment to anyone who is involved in ERP in general and SAP R/3 in particular.

This is an attempt to correct some of the points made in the KIRKUS review. Before a critic even starts to express an opinion, he or she should present the contents of the book under review accurately and scrupulously. The KIRKUS critic, however, sets off with generalizations, backed up by blatant misinterpretation and inaccuracy. Commenting on the poem "Brief Encounter" he mentions the poet hearing a 'hummingbird trill'. But the bird in question clearly is a nightingale, and hummingbirds do not trill anyway. The most casual reading of theses poems quickly reveals that they are not concerned with 'sacralizing' od presenting a 'comfortable'or 'comforting' view of nature. Already the title of the book suggests that the contents will be anything but reassuring. The poet is not looking at nature for comfort but reflecting on how marginalized nature has become. For example, in "Red Admirals" there is a description of a car passing over butterflies which have been killed by a previous vehicle but then are lifted briefly off the road by the rushing air. In the poem about geese the writer is again placing what is left of nature against the background of human destructiveness: nature is not seen directly, but through glass; it is like something registered, if at all, behind a screen. The KIRKUS reviewer does actually note that the illustrations are 'somber', but doesn't seem to have thought that there might be some connection between the dark pictures and the mood of the poems. I found his notes extremely ill-informed and misleading; the book in question, however, highly recommendable.

As having no background in the German language, I purchased this text in order to be able to learn enough of the language to communicate, both verbally and written, while on vacation in Germany. When I first opened the text (to the middle of the book), I noticed that it was written in German. I quickly turned to the first chapter and was delighted to find that it was written in English. As one progresses through the book, more and more is stated in German, with less being in English. I was really glad it started with English in chapter 1. There is a vocabulary list at the beginning of each chapter, with the German word (or phrase) with the translated English equivalent. It will pay the reader to become very familiar with the vocabulary words, as they will be built upon. I have not completed studying this book, but I do highly recommend it to the novice studier of the German language. It will be more than helpful to the individual that desires to learn the language.

Updated classic paperback text that covers a broad area from Balmer series to Nuclear Spin. Written without alot of complex mathematics, this is a good introduction to Atomic Spectra for specialists in other fields. I loved the coverage on quantum numbers and alkaline-earth elements.
