Mathematical Modeling in the Life Sciences (Ellis Horwood Series in Mathematics and Its Applications)
Published in Paperback by Ellis Horwood Ltd (1992)
Authors: Paul Doucet and Peter B. Sloep
Amazon base price: $45.00
Average review score:

Good source of Mathematical Models in Biology
The book is very well organized, covering thopics for beginers in Biological Modeling, to advance thopics. It does have a chapter explaining parameter estimation and statistical inference as well. The Stochastic model analysis was very helpful to.

Very good samples in Fishery models and populations. Not very complete on Forest Models (my area of interes), but still a very good book!


The Nek: The Tragic Charge of the Light Horse at Gallipoli
Published in Paperback by Kangaroo Press (1996)
Authors: Peter Burness and Paul Burness
Amazon base price: $16.95
Average review score:

A great answer to a forgotten question
A very detailed account of one of the many unanswered and unknown battles of the First World War. A good introduction and build up to a historical scene very few people in the world can locate. The Nek is also one of the prime reasons why Australia's ANZAC Day is so coveted. This book has every explanation towards every step of this frightful battle of the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. It is also a great description of trench warfare back then and how men had to endure knowing that death was certain.

After reading The Nek, I am highly grateful to be living in the generation that I am in. You get an utmost respect for Australians and a clear understanding of why they celebrate ANZAC Day. Being an American I only wish that Americans could celebrate the true meaning of Veteran's Day and other holidays where sacrifice was involved, instead of a BBQ or a day at the beach.


Oedipus Tyrannus

Oedipus Tyrannus - Power and Clarity for a Modern Audience
I first stumbled across this edition whilst searching the web for an acting edition of Oedipus to use with my Year Eleven Drama class. Once I received this edition I was so pleased that I had taken the gamble to purchase it.

For anyone searching for an 'acting' rather than 'literary' edition of Oedipus, I would strongly suggest that you have a close look at this publication. Peter Meineck and Paul Woodruff's collaboration makes the tragedy of Oedipus very accessible for a modern audience. This publication contains an Introduction with explanations of the history of Greek theatre, the nature of tragedy, the function of the chorus, and an analysis of the plot and characterisation. This edition also comes with foot-of-the-page notes and stage directions which are valuable when studying Oedipus as Drama.

What I particularly liked about this publication was its readability, without being simplistic. This translation was characterised by clarity, accuracy, and power of language, retaining the emotion of the original text. I have been so impressed with this translation that I am seriously considering purchasing a class set to use with my students.

It was a pleasure to see a copy of Oedipus especially developed for the stage rather than the page.

Just what you were remembering
I began playing guitar in the early seventies, when the hippie generation had helped to bring folk music to the forefront of the popular music scene. The major forces behind the success of folk music at that time -- finally reaching all across America on the radio waves -- were Peter, Paul and Mary. They sang songs that they loved, and became part of our lives; these are the songs you will find in this book. The ones you remember, half-hummed snatches of tunes for every mood and moment. The book features both piano and guitar accompaniment. If I were to find fault with the book, it would be that there were still so many songs I wanted which were not included here, and that it did not have a spiral binding, and so my first copy split and finally needed to be replaced after many well-loved years. This book is the right place to start as you begin learning the best songs to know in the folk tradition.


Peter Paul and Mary/Peter, Paul and Mommy

Great music, not just for kids
This music is fabulous. I have 6 children and they all love this cassette (mom and dad too). A few of the songs are familiar, but many are less common; all, though, have simple, catchy tunes and are great fun to sing along with. Some of the songs have rather an early music/madrigal quality to them, the flavor of a storyteller. I would categorize this music as children's/folk, good musicality and off-the-beaten (children's-music) path.

Treasure trove for musical PPM fans !
This PPM Deluxe Anthology contains around 80 songs, many of which are also in the PPM Song Book with its 32 song titles. In fact, in the latter there are only about 5-6 additional songs e.g. don't think twice its alright, when the ship comes in, very last day, the times they are a changing, three ravens.

Many lesser known titles can be found here and it must be a joy to play these song for the genuine PPM folknik!

Around The Campfire
This is a great songbook for PPM fans who play beginner/intermediate guitar. The arrangements are easy to follow (not a lot of barre chords) and not a lot of Eb--Bb7 stuff. There's even some tablature to songs like Blowin' In the Wind. The book has the same songs as the CD set with the same name. I really enjoy this book. Mike

Quite Simply: The Best Book I have ever read.
Inspirational. Profound. Practical. A companion.

A one page/three-minute read every day. And an opportunity to plumb the depths of what it means to be a man or a woman.

Philosophy has been called: The Queen of all Sciences. These meditations are from the mind of a brilliant philosopher. A great intellect. An extraordinary human being. A man who has used his mind to reason to Truth. A Truth reflected in his personal life. A life that has transcended and soared above personal tragedy, Naziism, Communism, and Modernism.

This book provides the reader with a few minutes each day to reflect on what is most meaningful to each of us: relationships, work, marriage, family, sex, education, success, failure, suffering, tragedy, death, life.

"Prayers and Devotions: 365 Daily Meditations" is a reflection of other writings by John Paul, such as "Fides et Ratio", which is a treatise discussing the interdependence and complementarity of Faith and Technology. "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth---in a word, to know himself---so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves."

From "Veritatis Splendor": "The splendor of truth shines forth in all the works of the Creator and in a special way in man, created in the image and likeness of God. Truth enlightens man's intelligence and shapes his freedom, leading him to know and love the Lord. Hence the psalmist prays: 'Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord.'"

And from "Evangelium Vitae": "The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus' message. Lovingly received day after day by the church, it is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as 'good news' to the people of every age and culture."

"Prayers and Devotions" capsulizes much of the thought of John Paul. It is a rich treasure with each page providing jewels to be discovered, polished, and reflected upon. A book to be read, enjoyed, shared, and re-read.
