                  Chiral Chromatography Thomas E. Beesley Advanced Separation Technologies Inc., Whippany, New Jersey, USA Raymond P. W. Scott Chemistry Department, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA and Chemistry Department, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK Analytical techniques based on separation processes, such as chromatography and electrophoresis, are finding a growing range of applications in chemical, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories. The Wiley Separation Science Series provides the analyst in these laboratories with well-focused books covering individual techniques, so that they can be applied more efficiently and effectively to contemporary analytical problems. The different enantiomers of a drug can exhibit widely different physiological activity in degree and nature. As a result, the separation and identification of enantiomers is now a very important analytical problem and chiral chromatography is the natural technique to apply to the resolution of such mixtures. Chiral Chromatography provides the reader with a basic understanding of the nature of chromatographic separations and relates the principles specifically to the separation of enantiomers. The following information is included:
                  * chiral separations involving both gas and liquid chromatography
                  * descriptions of the apparatus used for both techniques
                  * detailed discussion on the retention mechanism that results in chiral selectivity
                  * the structure and synthesis of a wide range of chirally active stationary phases used in both gas and liquid chromatography
                  * preparative applications for large scale purification of enantiomers
                  * applications of capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography.
                  In addition to the above, a large number of examples of the separation of both commercially and physiologically interesting chiral mixtures are given, as is a detailed discussion on the mechanism of selectivity of each example. Thomas Beesley was founder and is the CEO for a leading manufacturer of chiral stationary phases and has published papers on TLC, HPLC and chiral separations involving cyclodextrins. He has also coauthored papers with Daniel W. Armstrong, an expert on modern cyclodextrin columns. Raymond Scott has worked in the field of separation science for over 40 years and has contributed extensively to the development of both gas and liquid chromatography publishing over 160 papers on the subjects.

                    Book Description

                    Pattern recognition is deemed central to cognition. It appears to follow an optimal algorithm in a wide variety of behaviors and situations. Perceiving Talking Faces proposes an invariant law of pattern recognition to describe how continuously perceived information such as speech input is processed to achieve perception of a category. The book details the author's extensive series of experiments on the use of bimodal cues in speech perception as well as the application of the Fuzzy Logical Model of Perception in speech and a variety of other domains. It presents a blend of theory, mathematical model testing, empirical results, and applications. The author's underlying purpose is to describe and defend a universal principle of psychological theory.

                    The final part of the book presents the science and applications of the synthetic talking face that was used in most of the speech perception experiments. The CD-ROM that accompanies the book allows the reader to experience the intriguing perceptual phenomena directly; it also provides a valuable research and teaching resource.

                      Students, professors and general readers alike have relied upon the Oxford Annotated Bible for essential scholarship and guidance to the world of the Bible for four decades. Now a new editorial board and team of contributors have completely updated this classic work. The result is a volume which maintains and extends the excellence the Annotated's users have come to expect, bringing new insights, information, and approaches to bear upon the understanding of the text of the Bible. The new edition includes a full index to all of the study material (not just to the annotations), and one that is keyed to page numbers, not to citations. And, to make certain points in the text clearer for the reader, there are approximately 40 in-text, line drawing maps and diagrams. With the best of the Annotated's traditional strengths, and the augmentation of new information and new approaches represented in current scholarship, the Third Edition will continue to serve as the reader's and student's constant resource.

                      3 out of 5 stars Too, too scholarly. Not for lay study!.......2007-09-12

                      `The New Oxford Annotated Bible' of the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) translation, with the Apocrypha, was my first, entirely uncritical choice for a study Bible when I began teaching an adult Bible Study class. I have no trouble with the translation, as it is the translation of choice for most American Lutherans, so I accept that.
                      What I discovered, as I discover with so many other books with the `Oxford' imprimatur, is that while the volume is sound, it is not always the best in the field. When I started looking at other study bibles, I was skeptical of the fancy multicolored sidebars, section headings, and marginalia. Now, I'm not so sure these are such a `bad' thing, even if they don't shout `scholarship'.
                      The `New Oxford...' certainly shouts scholarship in its copious footnotes to the way in which certain terms have been translated by the NRSV scholars. This was how I discovered that the NRSV is a `politically correct' translation in that it changes all masculine references to terms combining genders (`we' or `men and women' in place of `he' or `man'). This is annoying, as it makes it a less satisfactory translation for scholarship, but, knowing is better than not knowing.
                      The volume also has superb maps. For these alone the book may be worth owning, as so many other Bible Study maps are inaccurate or lacking in detail. These are combined political and topographical maps for all major periods of Biblical history, such as Canaan in the time of Abraham to Moses, Sinai during the Exodus, Israel in Canaan, and so on. My only complaint is that most maps span two pages, and since the pages are sewn into signatures, scanning or photocopying a good image of the maps is very difficult. Even better is the index to the maps. There are also black and white political maps scattered throughout the text, but these are probably far less useful. It would have been better to gather these all in one place, but that's me. I must say that there is an index to all these maps in the text, so some forgiveness is in order.
                      From there, things tend to fall off a bit. The volume ends with a series of essays, tables, and a short concordance. This last item seems to me to be quite a waste of space, as it takes up 63 pages, while Strong's Concordance fills over 1800 pages. I suspect Oxford left something out! In fact, my favorite test case, a search for `olive tree', as it appears, for example, in Paul's letter to the Romans, is not to be found. While Oxford has three references to `olive', Strong has 37! The essays I find are sound, but really too short for anything but a quick introduction to their material. Especially noisome is the fact that the essay authors give no bibliography attached to the end of their essays. I did find the table of parallel texts very useful, especially those covering the Old Testament. The parallels of the Synoptic gospels are familiar enough, but the multiple occurrences of, for example, the description of the fall of Jerusalem in Jeremiah and 2 Kings is useful. I did find the chronological table of rulers a useful aide de memoir, although it would have been even more useful to express these genealogically. I seem to recall that Herod the Great, the first of his dynasty, was married to some cousin from the Hasmonean line of rulers. My primary objection to the volume is the dry and uninteresting layout of the scriptures themselves. I get practically no value from the footnoted material, as there is no flag in the text to bring your eyes down to the footnotes. There is also nothing to relieve us of the tedium of verse after verse of small Times New Roman typescript. It uses the method of very subtle verse numbers, to less interfere with the flow of the text, but I'm not so sure I like that, especially when I'm trying to find a verse.
                      I regret that I can't compare this to another study bible, as I have just started looking at others, thereby having the scales fall from my eyes regarding the value of the Oxford. Stay tuned for more, as I find better guides. I have heard, if you can get your hands on a copy, that the Harper Collins Study Bible, edited by Wayne Meeks, is excellent.

                      5 out of 5 stars Best Bible EVER.......2007-08-24

                      This is the best Bible I've ever bought. The NRSV is an excellent, easy to read, yet still scholorly translation of the Bible, and the Oxford Annotated Bible is excellent for the common reader and for the university student. Much less like a "study bible" than the 2nd edition, and much more like something I would analyze the bible with.

                      5 out of 5 stars Ultimate Edition for Study.......2007-07-29

                      This book is fantastic and totally informative. From the footnoted annotations filled with historical and interpretive information for all passages, to the linguistic orgin of the translations of each word, this bible is truly a key to grasping a historical version of Christianity.

                      Also this ecumenical is truly geared for all denominations to learn more about the holistic version of Christianity.

                      2 out of 5 stars Pass this up.......2007-07-09

                      Look at other study Bibles like the Concordia Self-Study Bible, before you get this one. It is very limited in notes and is not a study bible at all. I own one and with so many other better choices out there I cannot understand why anyone would bother with this.

                      2 out of 5 stars not what I expected.......2007-06-13

                      I was looking forward to using this new Bible for study and for prayer. I was not aware that Apocrypha was not included. No where in the ad was it mentioned that this bible did not include this element of the New Revised Standard Version. I will be able to use this Bible for some of my study program but I had to buy another Bible that included the Apocrypha to assist my prayer life.

                      I had been looking forward to purchasing this edition of the bible The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version, Indexed. I researched which translation and edition would meet and, I'm sure, exceed my needs. I was immediately disappointed upon examining the book and almost immediately discovered a manufacturing defect. The edition included tabbed pages. The tabs are attached to the pages with adhesive backing and the paper behind several of the tabs were missing so that the tab stuck to the following page. I tried to gingerly separate the pages with poor results and quickly remembered that I had intended to purchase a quality product and this was not it. Amazon responded quickly to my return request and made the process easy. I would not order this edition again and am still without a bible

                      I purchased this bible because I am taking theology classes at Liberty University. This paperback edition is great as it is large enough to read easily but compact enough to carry around. It has the aphocrypha included and lots of references. The study notes are just ok, I would not rely on them too much; they are sketchy at times and are generally from the liberal view of things, BUT they do give some good background info. Overall, this is a good bible for personal or class study, I really like the paperback edition, I previously had the hardcover and it was too bulky
