Book Description

Molecular Pharmacology of Cell Regulation Series Editor: M.D. Houslay This important Series provides topical, in depth and authoritative reviews on all aspects of the molecular mechanisms of cell regulatory processes. It attempts to unravel the molecular structures, properties and functions of systems which provide putative targets for the next generation of drugs. It will, therefore, be of major interest to biochemists, pharmacologists, molecular pathologists, endocrinologists, cell biologists and research clinicians working on the fundamental description of how cells regulate their own and each other's activity, on the development of novel therapeutic agents and on analyses of pathological changes and genetic lesions. Volume 2 Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases: Structure, Regulation and Drug Action Edited by J. Beavo Department of Pharmacology, University of Washington, USA and M.D. Houslay Institute of Biochemistry, University of Glasgow, UK Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases play a vital role in cell regulation as the enzymes which mediate the degradation of important second messenger molecules. For the first time, this book brings together the latest available information and opinion on the different species of phosphodiesterases and their isoenzymes. It includes sections on their identification, purification, structure and properties; the organisation of their encoding genes; regulation of phosphodiesterase activity in visual transduction, hormonal activation, cellular differentiation and pathological states; and the mode of action of selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterases and their therapeutic use in conditions such as congestive heart failure.

Book Description

Genes exist predominantly as families with related structures and functions, particularly within eucaryotic organisms. The isozyme concept was first introduced by Markert and Møller in 1959, and has formed the basis of large numbers of scientific investigations and conferences on gene families since that time. This volume is based on presentations made by invited Plenary and Symposia speakers at the Eighth International Congress on Isozymes on the topic of Gene Families: Structure, Function, Genetics and Evolution. The major themes for the Congress were in the following areas: molecular evolution; population genetics; enzymology; Australian fauna; biomedical aspects; molecular genetics; cellular compartmentation; gene regulation; and developmental genetics.

How about the good old USA?.......2006-01-30

Good book oriented mostly towards foreign travel, but we know that many people want to take that long leisurely trip of a lifetime in the US. "Live Your Road Trip Dream" would be a great companion to this book -- and oriented towards US travel.

Good for retiring abroad only.......2001-03-06

Can't add much to the previous reviews, but be very clear that this book is primarily aimed at people who want to retire OUTSIDE the U.S. It also seems to assume that everyone has lots of money laying around (or own and can sell a home)and they can put that money into CD's and live off the interest. Not all bad, but seems to focus on the few areas of the world that they're most familiar with (France, Portugal, Mexico)

The Well Traveled Book..........2000-02-16

Wow! The cover of this book is tattered from all the passing around. It has gone from one family member to the next. Those of us who were not patient enough to wait our turn have purchased it. Three copies in all are circulating. I found it inspiring because she speaks to the adventurer inside of me, not my fear. Her approach is gentle, liberating, and comprehensible. She spells out the complex issues. The chapters cover the all important steps and questions about going abroad for an extended stay and whether or not it's right for you.

Solid, Nuts-and-Bolts Advice for Adults.......1999-02-21

Filled with practical advice covering both the philosophical ("Don't you love your country?" objections) and the practical (a recommended cat carrier), Knorr breaks a complicated, life-changing idea into specific, do-able tasks. Anyone who has thought about living overseas for months or years must read this book.

Beginning with a personality assessment for the would-be expatriate, Knorr guides the reader through a step-by-step analysis of moving overseas. As the title implies, this is a book for adults who may be encumbered with houses, aging parents, life-long living patterns and other apparent obstacles to making a major life change.

Knorr's cautious approach and practical information are designed to produce either a successful sojourn overseas or the avoidance of what might turn out to be an impulsive mistake.

A Wonderful Book for Advanced ESL Students........2007-04-10

I borrowed a copy of its second edition a few days ago and have just finish it. I just love this book. I wish that I would have a chance to read this book a few years ago.

Feedback on American Ways.......2007-02-08

This book is absolutely recommended for new immigrants to the US. It requires an advanced level of English proficiency. It gives the reader an idea why Americans behave the way they do. It's a sociology textbook.

Excellent material for foreign students studying American Culture~!.......2006-11-10

It's Simple, easy, and clear~!

For the foreign students who want to study American culture and values, it's the best choice.

Particulary, Ameriacan beliefs and values and American Government and Politics are recommendabe parts of this book.

It was very useful for a text material of the cousework such as "Anglo-Amirian Culture and History", or "Understandin American History".

Highly recommended~!!!

Scarlet

Easy-to-read introduction.......2002-12-07

This is an excellent introduction to American culture, and easy enough to read to be used with foreign students. The follow-up and supplementary exercises and suggestions at the end of each chapter are particularly helpful. I only wish I had enough time to use more of them.

Fascinating read for anyone living in the U.S........2000-05-23

The American Ways is an easy to read, well-organized, comprehensive book discussing how the U.S. developed its value system. It builds from the history behind the values to how these values are exhibited in today's political system, religion, ethnic assimilation, business, home and family life, education, sports, and leisure time. The reader can easily understand or recognize the value placed on activities in these various areas of American life, both in the past and present.

Excellent references and exercises accompany each chapter.

I have used it with many newcomers to the U.S. and given it to many U.S. born friends. All have enthused over its thought-provoking content. I highly recommend for anyone who wishes to develop a deeper understanding of our great country and all we have to be thankful for.

A History of Ethical Humanist Religion.......2004-08-16

Like other books on Humanism that I have read recently, this book focuses on the history of the movement with particular attention to those events experienced by the author. The author promotes Ethical Culture and Humanism but his background leans toward the former. As the focus is on the history, the coverage of the beliefs is a bit vague. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of Ethical Culture or Humanism as a religion.

Product Description

The Barclay Manufacturing Company of New Jersey produced wonderful, now highly collectible cast metal toy cars and car transports from 1932 through 1971. This book is the first to provide comprehensive catalog listings and prices for every known variation and color, in all four separate series. With few exceptions, these beloved vehicles were not marked with the manufacturers name or country of origin. Over 75 beautiful, full color images display 100s of these toys, allowing easy identification for the very first time. The detailed text provides a history of the company, a description of the four series (Vintage, Streamlined, Classic, and Modern), the production methods and painting techniques of each series, various packaging techniques employed by Barclay, identification and pricing guidelines, and fourteen identification charts. Values are found in the text.

Barclay Toys Transports & Cars 1932-1971 Review .......2004-11-17

I believe that this book will be the one people will turn to to get valuable info. on the Barclay Transports & Cars. It must have taken the authors years to compile all the information in this book . If you collect Barclay's then this is a must have book .
The book starts you off with a brief history of the Barclay Manufacturing Co. and as the book progreses through the pages it gives up more and more detail of every known Transport and Car . The book is very well layed out with it's easy to understand no. system . For easy reference it has lots of color pictures to refer to .
Thank goodiness we have people who are wiling to do the work involved to compile such a book and get it to this high level .
If you don't have this book then you are at a disadvantage .
Loved It !!!

Barclay Toys : Small Transports , 1932 - 1971.......2004-10-19

I found this book highly detailed and very very informative. The authors not only did an excellent job of clearly explaining the differences between the 4 basic styles but showed all the many many colors , shades and tints .I especially liked and found interesting, all the little notes and stories of the background of how and why some of these changes came about. The high quality paper and clear photos make the pictures jump out at you right off the page. The photo effectiveness really shines thru, when it came to showing all the various tints and shades of the same color.The pictures were not only close and clear but very vivid. I especially liked the authors simple, straight forward and very effective way that they cataloged these various changes. This easy, open ended system, allows more additions to be included later when they are found. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. Kudos to the authors, for taking, what had to be a huge amount of man hours to bring this much needed book to the next level . I predict this will be the Barclay " bible " for identifying the small Transports.

The best garden book overall. A smart book. Creative. Great pics. VERY Comprensive. Wish Id bought hardback.Complete. Very readable. Projects are suberb. Voluminous. A must for every serious gardener.

Inspiring but no help implementing.......2001-08-22

I expected more for the price. There are some nice ideas and a few plans, but the plans don't contain measurements. This is not very professional and makes implementation very difficult. Nice for dreaming, but no real help planning.

This is a very comprehensive book describing all western regions including the low and high desert, the Pacific Northwest and southern California. The book includes many landscape ideas with diagrams and suggested plant types and many plant photos. Ideas for special needs such as privacy, patio & small spaces , desert areas, swimming pools, decks, lots for shade, low water and other requirements are covered. Types of fencing and decking are also covered. If you are starting out with a bare backyard, as I am, this is the book for you!
