Arabidopsis Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

Book Description

This collection of readily reproducible Arabidopsis protocols has been updated to reflect recent advances in plant biology, the completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence-essential for studying plant function, and the development of whole systems approaches that allow global analysis of gene expression and protein and metabolite dynamics. The authors have included nearly all techniques developed in Arabidopsis, others recently adapted from the traditional work in crop species, and the most recent ones using Arabidopsis as a model system. Highlights include the most recent methods-transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics-and their novel applications (phosphoproteomics, DNA microarray-based genotyping, high throughput metabolite profiling, and single-cell RNA).

Book Description

The thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana is increasingly popular among plant scientists: it is small, easy to grow, and makes flowers, and the sequence of its small and simple genome was recently completed. This is the most complete and authoritative laboratory manual to be published on this model organism and the first to deal with genomic and proteomic approaches to its biology.

Book Description

Arabidopsis has long been acknowledged as the 'Botanical Drosophila' with its small genome, low levels of repetitive DNA, small size and fast generation time it is an ideal molecular genetic tool for the analysis of development in higher plants. Arabidopsis: A Practical Approach provides an introduction to most of the key techniques required for the use of Arabidopsis as an experimental system. It gives a basic introduction to the optimal growth conditions and genetic resources available for Arabidopsis, how this material should be handled, maintained and used. Individual chapters describe strategies for the identification, mapping (using multi-marker lines and recombinant inbreds), and characterisation of different mutants by microscopy, molecular cytogenetics and gene expression analysis. Different cloning strategies, using transposons, T-DNA and map position are described in detail. Sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome will be completed in 2000 and bioinformatics are of key importance; the tools that are available and where they can be found on the Web are presented.

Book Description

Nobel Laureate Glen T. Seaborg, who worked on the Manhattan Project in his early career, played a key role in U.S. science and arms-control policy and served both as a Presidential Cabinet member and as head of the Atomic Energy Commission. This memoir, filled with photos, anecdotes, and analysis, provides an insider's look at national science policy-making from World War II through the Bush administration.

Customer Reviews:

Excelent Autobiography of Glen Seaborg.......2001-07-10

Annotation This autobiography details the interaction of an eminent scientist, Glenn Seaborg, with the highest levels of government in the U.S. during an important period for both science and public policy. Seaborg worked for each administration from 1946 to 1996. The work is based on meticulous notes that he recorded each day. Much of the material in the chapters consists of unedited excerpts from his personal diary, which are interesting, but often too detailed for general readers. Sections at the end of each chapter contain personal reflections that provide many fascinating insights into the personalities of the nation's leaders. The book also contains numerous photos of Seaborg taken with presidents and other dignitaries.

Absolutely a 'must have' for anyone figuring bids.......2005-10-16

We have been very pleased with our HP 17B and the book by Norman Toy. It is a great addition to any financial office. We like it.

Powerful tools needed for financial math.......2002-03-13

Introduction to Financial Math is probably one of the best written, easy to understand, and fun to read math textbook out there! Four years ago, I joined an investment bank and was required to review the Adkins & Matchett's Financial Business Box. Having come from a non quant background, I was quite nervous. This book definitely put me on ease! It's easy to understand, has tons of problem sets, and most importantly isn't boring to read (when was the last time you read that about a math book?)

Now, I am going to Business School and will review all this material again. Without question, this book provides you with all the necessary tools needed in finance.

Easy to learn.......2001-11-13

This would be a good book for new people to the world of finance.
One user wrote that the 17BII and the 19BII are not financial calculators, he is really wrong, and should contact Hewlett Packard if he thinks that the 2 calculators are not financial calculators.

Back to the book, if you are new to world of finance or just taking an into class, this book would be a very helpful learning tool.

This book is too simplistic and contains erroneous examples.......1999-06-09

This book does not adequately differentiate between ordinary and exact simple interest rates, ordinary and annuity due applications, and does not explain the important applications of the internal rate of return(IRR) method. In fact the IRR is very important and is used by such popular software as Quicken. The applications presented in this book of financial math are limited mostly to bonds. Readers interested in personal applications such as stocks, home mortgages, insurance, income tax, inflation, consumer credit and loans, income taxes, and retirement analyses, etc. would find little use for this book.

Anyone serious about learnig finanal math and its applications should look elsewhere. The book is written for professionals in the financial industry, but they certainly would not learn anything from this simplistic book.

Also the HP-12C financial calculator is considered the standard for the industry. I cannot find a HP-19B, and the HP 17-B I found does not even have financial functions on it.

Just what kind of book is Let Us Now Praise Famous Men? It contains many things: poems; confessional reveries; disquisitions on the proper way to listen to Beethoven; snippets of dialogue, both real and imagined; a lengthy response to a survey from the Partisan Review; exhaustive catalogs of furniture, clothing, objects, and smells. And then there are Walker Evans's famously stark portraits of depression-era sharecroppers--photographs that both stand apart from and reinforce James Agee's words.

Assigned to do a story for Fortune magazine about sharecroppers in the Deep South, Agee and Evans spent four weeks living with a poor white tenant family, winning the Burroughs's trust and immersing themselves in a sharecropper's daily existence. Given a first draft of the resulting article, the editors at Fortune quite understandably threw up their hands--as did several other editors who subsequently worked with a later book-length manuscript. The writing was contrary. It refused to accommodate itself to the reader, and at times it positively bristled with hostility. (What other book could take Marx as the epigraph and then announce: "These words are quoted here to mislead those who will be misled by them"?) Response to the book was puzzled or unfriendly, and Let Us Now Praise Famous Men sputtered out of print only a few short years after its publication. It took the 1960s, and a vogue for social justice, to bring Agee's masterwork the audience it deserved.

Yet the book is far more interesting--aesthetically and morally--than the sort of guilty-liberal tract for which it is often mistaken. On an existential level, Agee's text is a deeply felt examination of what it means to suffer, to struggle to live in spite of suffering. On a personal level, it is the painful, beautifully written portrait of one man's obsession. In its collaboration with Evans's photographs, the book is also a groundbreaking experiment in form. In the end, however, it is more than merely the sum of its parts. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is, quite simply, a book unlike any other, simmering with anger and beauty and mystery. --Mary Park

Book Description

In the summer of 1936, James Agee and Walker Evans set out on assignment for Fortune magazine to explore the daily lives of sharecroppers in the South. Their journey would prove an extraordinary collaboration and a watershed literary event when in 1941 LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN was first published to enormous critical acclaim. This unsparing record of place, of the people who shaped the land, and of the rhythm of their lives was called intensely moving and unrelentingly honest, and is "renowned for its fusion of social conscience and artistic radicality" (New York Times). Today it stands as a poetic tract of its time, recognized by the New York Public Library as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. With an elegant new design as well as a sixty-four-page photographic prologue of Evans's classic images, reproduced from archival negatives, this sixtieth anniversary edition reintroduces the legendary author and photographer to a new generation.

Customer Reviews:

If nothing else, certainly brilliant and thought-provoking.......2006-09-16

Let us Now Praise Famous Men, in all its poetry and prose, reminds me of an epic, like the Hindu Mahabharata or Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The lyrical narrative reveals just as much, if not more about Agee, than his subjects. His writing style excludes his subjects as readers.

His prose, which tends to be lofty and cerebral, is also beautiful and brilliant. But, I often wondered, who he was
writing for? The New Yorker audience? The distance in his observations often left me feeling cold. I imagine these hardworking sharecroppers exhibiting some joy, some evidence of warmth, of hope. But I had difficulty finding it in Agee's voice.

The length of Agee's sentences and paragraphs were long, each containing an entire scene, and I labored through them, hoping sleep would not steal me from a passage I might not finish. It was as though Agee too, was afraid sleep would come and steal him from his mission, and so kept hacking away at each sentence, adding commas and colons and semi-colons, lingering his thoughts across the page.

Whatever level of consciousness Agee existed, I could not hang with him for any more than a couple of sentences, as I would fall off the page and have to find my way back into the scene. Where was I? You get the picture...

Agee also uses parenthesis and colons, often not giving his parenthesis a mate: (This struck me as rather unusual and often, cold and detached--more like a voyeur. Did he fabricate his own method of communication using punctuation or was this being done elsewhere at the time? I felt left out of his thoughts when he did this, like when two people are communicating via sign language and you can't make out a word they're saying. Was he doing this in a way to urge us to "think," to stretch beyond the ordinary conventions and try something on that is foreign and unfamiliar, like his subjects and their hardship?

Topic great, writers not so great........2006-05-27

The eloquence of composition surely necessitated infinite use of superlatives and verbs, resulting in a requisite painstaking remostrance to the reader, thus fettering the effusion and disembogulation of the document. In other words, wouldn't it have been better to just leave all of the fluff out of the book and just write as if the reader is someone other than the Queen of England? If you can weed through all of excessive use poems and verbs, it's a halfway decent book

I thought I hated it at points, but I've never been able to get it out of my head........2005-09-23

This book is an amazing work of art. At times it's baffling, and at times almost impertinent--like when the author decides to describe every object in an entire home, and yet in all these things and in all the conflicting emotions it evokes, it creates a mood and a feeling and a setting that will seep into your skin and fog your brain for months.
The writing is beautiful, the story it tells--of poor, sharecropping, depression-era families--is heartbreaking, and the experience of reading about it all is like a baptism by fire. This book just might re-wire your brain.
I think this is a much better read than Agee's "A Death in the Family," and that one won the Pulitzer Prize. Read this, for sure.
I read it on a bus trip across Guatemala, and the way Agee's descriptions of the old southern poverty fit the poor little towns full of Guatemalan coffee pickers was uncanny.
Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, and let us start with James Agee.

UPDATE: It's years later, and this book has never stopped haunting me. I think of it almost daily. If I were to review it today, I would definitely give it Five Stars.

A Classic.......2005-08-05

Excellent editon of this wonderful, classic work. A series of visual and verbal snapshots of the South as a third world country, the South of the 1930's.

A Puzzle to be piece together...........2004-04-12

James Agee's book on the sharecroppers of the American south during the great depression is a book not to be taken lightly. I read this book for a college english class and I can honestly say that most people in the course including myself are confused by Agee's intent and purpose. Agee's highly lyrical and philosophical tone allows a deep analysis into the question of human existence in the depression south. Yet, the very scope and difficulty of his subject is expressed in his confused, perhaps confusing writing. There are lonely moments of insight stacked alongside pages of seemingly irrelevant and baseless speculation. I say seemingly because each time I re-read the passage I find that Agee's words have quite a bit more meaning than I had originally found. This book is not a novel, not journalism but a puzzle which Agee could not piece together. Only with time and care can the reader hope to understand the frustratingly complex yet real message of Agee's work.
