How objective could YOU be if you wrote a review of something your father wrote?! Well, that is the position that we former Trink students are in as we read "Embryologist," the memoirs of J.P.Trinkaus. This chronicles his viewpoint of 70 years of developmental biology as seen while growing up on Long Island (New York), during summers at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass., and during academic years as Professor of Biology at Yale University.
Trink was an enthusiastic embryologist researcher, an exciting lecturer/teacher, and a stimulating mentor. For those of us who knew him, this is a wonderful opportunity to glimpse his reasoning on issues that once were central in our education. To the extent that we all witnessed them, the events, personalities, and discussions described seem quite accurate, written in an informal, reasonably raucous manner that students may find interesting and entertaining.
Although the book is directed mainly at biologists, lay readers of high school age and older, interested in biology in particular or research in general, will find rich material here, written in an easily readable style. ALL of Trink's publications are given in full bibliographic detail in one of the appendices (PubMed won't generate that printout), as is the scientific lineage of his mentors and the students he trained. The index is particularly useful to find out whether YOU are discussed somewhere in the text!
I think the book will develop a wider readership among those who never knew Trink. I get the same sense from reading this book that I always get from re-reading Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith. It will be an interesting book for high school students and undergraduates to read if they wonder what it's really like to be a biologist, and for graduate students and postdocs to read if they wonder what the web of departmental politics and scientific competition can be like. It also ought to be instructive to students to see the importance to one's own career of stepping up to the plate and speaking out on matters of principle, sometimes at some considerable risk to one's career. Personality DOES matter in science. Great research often gets accomplished because two individuals enjoy social interactions and discover that they also bring complementary skills for answering important questions uniquely.

This book is a must read for any strategy consultant and any investment banker. It offers empiric data on concentration processes in the European Banking Sector, and their roots.

It analyzes the data using advanced stochastic tests.
It benchmarks them with those concentration processes, which would have occured, if Gibrats "Law of proportionate Effect" had occured. Moreover, it offers the most complete bibliography on concentration processes in the banking industry.

Note to the authors: Your second edtion should say a bit more about the effect of IT on banking. You did complain "that there are no publications on the effect IT on banking." Indent the data
from "The Banking Revolution - IT in Banking - salavation or slaughter ?" , published in late 1997 by Carrington,Langguth, Steiner from Mitchel Madison Group. If you do so, your book is perfect.

Most comprehensive study of the development and history of this industry, nearly invisible to the public.
