The Anther: Form, Function and Phylogeny
Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521480639 |
Book Description
Despite its significance in the reproductive cycle of flowering plants, and its importance in helping to interpret plant evolution, the stamen, and its fertile, pollen bearing part, the anther, have received relatively little scientific attention. To address this shortcoming, the contributors in this volume give an indication of the kinds of studies now being undertaken with a view to stimulating further work on this neglected plant organ. Traditional and current concepts of stamen construction, terminology and function are summarized, and an extensive bibliography gives access to relevant literature. New evidence for the evolution of the anther is drawn from the fossil record and from current studies of its growth and structure, and the dynamics of stamen evolution is detailed for several families.

Donýt leave home without it.......2003-08-27
Before traveling to Bangladesh, do take the time to read the Dos & Don'ts article in the Facts about the Country chapter. People in Bangladesh are generally friendly and polite, but they tend to be more friendly if you follow their rules for politeness. Men should give local women some distance, and even women should let other women approach them first. People who wear shorts in Bangladesh are risking at least their reputations, if not more. Going about in shorts in public would be akin to wearing a bikini bathing suit on Wall Street- -sure to gain a lot of unwanted attention. Western women will find themselves much more comfortable in local clothing, salwar kamis or saris as absolutely no woman wears Western clothing in Bangladesh. Women packing for a trip in Bangladesh might be better off packing no clothing at all, and just shopping for local clothing upon arrival because what they find in the local markets will be appropriate for both the climate and the culture. (That will also leave more room in your suitcase for gifts on the way in and souvenirs on the way out.)
Many educated people in Bangladesh speak English quite well. But the average person on the street doesn't, so take the time to study the useful expressions from Facts about the Country chapter when you get a chance. While you're at the airport waiting for departure, look around- -surely there's someone there who can help you with your pronunciation.
As for any travel in the developing world, make sure your immunizations are up to date before you go to Bangladesh. Hepatitis A vaccinations are highly recommended and get your travel doctor to write you a prescription for a full run of Cipro (strong antibiotic) to carry with you, and take plenty of rehydration packets. If you get seriously ill while in Bangladesh, it's better to try to get to Dr. Wahab's office (listed in the Dhaka section of this book), rather than the Cholera Hospital, as recommended elsewhere in the book.
As the book mentions, there's a lot to see in Dhaka. There's even more to see outside of Dhaka, where the air is better and the people are friendlier. A great way to get out of town is to book a tour with Prajatan or The Guide (info in the Dhaka chapter). We had a spectacular all-inclusive boat cruise through the Sunderbans with The Guide (Prajatan's boat had recently sunk). Don't miss shopping in the NGO handicraft stores, particularly Aarong (info in the Dhaka chapter).
As with any guidebook, the info for specific hotels and eateries tends to change between the time the authors visited and publication, but the historic sites and regional highlights will always be there. Read this book over several times before you go, and you will be ready as ever to start your adventure.

Rassegna 77: Art Design
Manufacturer: Birkhauser ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 8885322409 |
Book Description
Looking at the operations of de-construction, de-composition, re-denomination and re-connotation performed on objects by avant-garde movements, this issue investigates the 'historical' contribution of art to the design of 20th century products. We will explore the various phases of artists' design activity (also in relation to technology and production), an activity which has too often been considered the exclusive domain of designers. Whereas art forms a multifaceted theoretical background of design opening up new perspectives on the notions of series, materials, production methods or object consumption, the world of design is a mere reference point for the artist's creation and production of objects.

Poster Price Almanac 1996/1997 Review
ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0966148207 |
Product Description
"This 1997 edition of THE ALMANAC marks the 11th appearance of the reference book, still unique in its field. Nowhere else can dealers or collectors find, in one place, such a complete and constructive record of the significant past. For this issue, one hundred thousand listings have undergone painstaking edits, reflecting the many changes that have taken place in the movie poster market. Many new dealers and auction houses have replaced some of the old and faded stars whose once bright lights are extinguishing themselves. [...] The biggest disappointment over the past year is the continued existence of the self serving charlatans who have managed to hoodwink their way under the auction and sales tent. Their high prices, lies, and carnival barker style, needs to be exposed. Their outright fraud is a threat to honest dealers and collectors everywhere. Allowing their activities to go unchecked will invite a scandal that could, at the very least, halt the growth of the film poster market. As with all collectibles, the best defense for collectors are honest dealers and auction houses. We will continue to tell you who the best ones are, as well as whom to avoid. Just ask us... Always cognizant of our responsibility for accuracy and record without bias, we know that what is recorded here must stand on your reference shelf. This edition of THE ALMANAC has been compiled with diligence and scrupulous care by a well-seasoned and experienced staff. It continues to be the product of many years of dedication to the service of the movie poster, its dealers and its collectors, no matter where."

Rudolfo A. Anaya: A Critical Companion (Critical Companions to Popular Contemporary Writers)
Margarite Fernandez Olmos Manufacturer: Greenwood Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0313306419 |
Book Description
Rudolfo A. Anaya's seven novels can all be viewed in terms of the Chicano literary tradition though their rich texts have earned Anaya a place of respect in mainstream modern American literature. Fernandez Olmos guides the reader through Anaya's literary world with clear signposts, illuminating the mythical, cultural, and linguistic complexities of his astounding stories. From his coming of age masterpiece Bless Me, Ultima (1972) to his most recent work Shaman Winter (1999) Anaya's writing with its rich spiritual symbolism is brought down to earth and made accessible to the student reader by Fernandez Olmos insightful analyses. This work devotes a chapter to each novel, enabling Fernandez Olmos to guide the reader through each, showing both the patterns and variations of literary devices in Anaya's works, while offering interesting alternative interpretations of Anaya's writing. Fernandez Olmos presents a well-researched chapter on the life of Rudolfo Anaya, familiarizing readers with his Hispanic cultural background which figures so prominently in his writing. A chapter on Anaya and the Chicano literary tradition deepens the reader's understanding and appreciation of the writer's tremendous contributions. Fernandez Olmos then devotes a full chapter to each of the novels, Bless Me, Ultima, Heart of Aztlan, Tortuga, and Alberqueque; his detective novels, Zia Summer and Rio Grande Fall; and his modern-day parable Jalamanta: A Message from the Desert. Student readers and researchers will find the bibliography which includes reviews, criticisms, and other secondary sources to be very helpful.
