Lab Guide.......2005-10-03
The lab guide is very helpful for the lab. It was very specific and detailed.
An excellent manual for teaching decriptive embryology.......2001-05-02
I witnessed the birth of the first edition of this book when I was still a college student, and have seen its transformation to suit the needs of each new era. The book offers fundamental principles in descriptive embryology. I hoped to see more on the expperimental aspect of the subject. I also wished to see the embryology of more of the animal phyla (eg. fruit fly, zebra fish) included.
An Embryology Lab Instructor's Comments.......2000-04-28
I have used this book in my course for four years. Typically one-hundred students per year are enrolled in my course. The quality of the photomicrographs is excellent. My only criticisms of the micrographs are that 1.) The sequence of the photomicrographs would be enhanced if they were arranged in a developmental sequence. Presently, the student must flip pages constantly to view all slides relevant to a particular developmental stage. 2.) There are not enough sagittal sections of the chick embryos. 3.) 96 hour chick embryos, instead of pig embryos might be an improvement. The text is good, although not quite as thorough as the Matthews lab manual was.

Book Description
Although fuzzy systems and neural networks are central to the field of soft computing, most research work has focused on the development of the theories, algorithms, and designs of systems for specific applications. There has been little theoretical support for fuzzy neural systems, especially their mathematical foundations. Fuzzy Neural Intelligent Systems fills this gap. It develops a mathematical basis for fuzzy neural networks, offers a better way of combining fuzzy logic systems with neural networks, and explores some of their engineering applications. Dividing their focus into three main areas of interest, the authors give a systematic, comprehensive treatment of the relevant concepts and modern practical applications: · Fundamental concepts and theories for fuzzy systems and neural networks. · Foundation for fuzzy neural networks and important related topics · Case examples for neuro-fuzzy systems, fuzzy systems, neural network systems, and fuzzy-neural systems Suitable for self-study, as a reference, and ideal as a textbook, Fuzzy Neural Intelligent Systems is accessible to students with a basic background in linear algebra and engineering mathematics. Mastering the material in this textbook will prepare students to better understand, design, and implement fuzzy neural systems, develop new applications, and further advance the field.

Interesting insight under Lolita.......2007-09-09
Ok, I'll admit it, I am another Nabokovian and my curiosity was spurred when I found out VVN's screenplay was published by vintage. My real curiosity was in what kind of insight the screenplay could offer to VVN's original novel, and it did render some of that insight. This is a fun read, not as delightful as the novel by any stretch of the mind but it is still very delightful. What makes it so insightful is the fact that the screenplay is meant for view, not necessarily to be read, and using the points that Nabokov emphasizes in the explanations of the scenery, behaviorisms, and so forth, again are extremely helpful to anyone trying to get a better grasp of the novel. In working on a piece of criticism on VVN's earlier novel The Defense, I actually used the screenplay because the Annabelle Lee theme is emphasized more than in the novel and is easier to use in a critical study.
As a work of art, it is most certainly a great piece by itself, but to readers who are expecting this to be another masterwork like the novelized Lolita or Pale Fire, this pales in comparison.
Lolita: A Screenplay.......2000-06-01
By his own account, only about 20% of Nabokov's 213 page screenplay ended up in Kubrick's film. Even so, the author's opinion of Kubrick's end product was high, and the screenplay itself is a fine cinematic representation of the novel.
Nabokov's Screenplaying.......2000-02-12
Lolita: a Screenplay is recommended reading for anyone who loved the novel and appreciates Nabokov's wonderful sense of humor. The story goes that Nabokov presented his screenplay to Kubrick, who told him, "Look, regardless of how brilliant it may or may not be, it would take eight hours to film." So it's unfilmable; if Borges can write literary criticism about books which don't exist, surely it's not so radical to devise screenplays which are never meant to be filmed. Nabokov adds much to his existing work, including a psychiatrist who speaks directly to the camera and a cameo for himself. One wishes that Adrian Lyne had added a few of the humorous elements of the screenplay to his film, which is fine but perhaps a bit too reverent which it should be audaciously funny. All in all, I highly recommend picking up what amounts to one of the 20th century's great geniuses playing hooky.
The script that never was.......1997-11-24
Its not the book, and its not the film. So what is it? Its the screenplay of course! Chances are, if you are reading this, its either because you saw the film and liked it; a fan of Stanley Kubrick: director of the film; or you read the book Lolita and the Annotated Lolita and figured "I might as well read the script;" or just a big fan of Nabokov and its the one book you dont have in your collection. Whatever the reason may be, it falls between the book and the film. This is Nabokov's version of the script that was cut, recut and then edited by Kubrick (incidentally, Nabokov still recieved on-screen credit for the screenplay). It may hold water on its own, but in comparison to either the book or film it cannot stay afloat.

Lolita
ASIN: 1557833540 |
Book Description
Foreword by Jeremy Irons, preface by Adrian Lyne. Based on the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, Schiff tells the astounding story behind the most controversial movie of our time. 75 movie stills. "Like Nabokov's novel, it is an eloquent tragedy laced with wit and a serious, disturbing work of art..." - The New York Times

To the man who said "To the man who said it "stunk"".......2006-01-17
I DID really read Lolita - five times in fact - and I wholly concur with the man who said this movie stinks: Adrian Lyne's movie is a dangerously naive misreading of Nabokov's masterpiece. The strength of Nabokov's novel is the tension between Humbert Humbert's equilibristic depiction of his "relationship" with Lolita as an essentially unhappy love affair and of himself as a spurned lover, and Nabokov's subtle - and even more equilibristic - depiction of Humbert as an egocentric, manipulating monster. Nabokov himself called Humbert "a vain and cruel wretch who manages to appear touching". Humbert manages this through his undoubted rhetoric skills. He simply writes enormously well, and his powers of persuasion have led many a naive reader to accept his version of the story at face value (such as Lyne and Schiff have done). Through his subtle undercutting, however, Nabokov lets the good reader see what a ridiculous monster Humbert really is. Nabokov lets Humbert praise himself a couple of times too many, he lets him speak a little bit too much French, etc., and through this brilliant, unobtrusive undermining of Humbert's own story, Nabokov demasks his own narrator. Lyne and Schiff completely miss this crucial aspect of the novel, and consequently their movie tells a deeply problematic story about an unhappy love affair between a 12-year-old girl and an adult man, rather than - as Nabokov did - telling a story about an evil, but eloquent, man who manipulates everyone around him, including the naive reader.
Nabokov's novel was something of a scandal when it came out, but by taking Humbert at his word, Lyne's and Schiff's movie is even more scandalous. Even though their movie is closer to the words of Nabokov's novel than Kubrick's adaptation, it is very far from the dark spirit of the book. Nabokov's novel (and Kubrick's version) is a dark comedy; Lyne and Schiff's version is a pink, sentimental melodrama.
To the man who said it "stunk".......2002-06-26
Obviously you did not really read Lolita. The depiction of Humbert in this film was brilliant and Jeremy irons did an amazing job. Here are a few reasons why you know nothing. 1. You read Lolita because someone told you to and they also told you what to expect. 2. If you expected someone to be able to include every aspect of a 309 page novel in a two hour movie, your expectations are far too high. They included the key elements to capture the true feel of the novel. 3. This movie should be praised for Dominique Swain's performance alone. She played the part perfect. 4. Get off your "Nabokov-knowing-high-horse." I think that you need to make a movie based on a Nabokov novel before you can say anything negative. Try "Despair" out and we see how far youg get.
This movie stinks.......2000-07-26
Anyone who has actually READ Nabokov's Lolita understands the character of Humbert Humbert far better than Adrian Lyne did and much better than Jeremy Irons. This movie (and screenplay) captures next to nothing of what Nabokov was attempting to tell. Instead of a witty, sarcastic, intelligent, and clever book on the timeless (and ageless) nature of love, you get a sappy, sentimental, two hours of Jeremy Irons weeping and moaning that adds up to nothing more than a movie that, if it hadn't been for the subject matter, would have been a movie of the week- AT BEST. Gimme a break. This movie stinks.
Beautiful and Haunting.......1999-06-26
Having just seen Lyne's film of "Lolita," I must say that even though I am a devout Kubrick fan, I admit it surpasses his weak 1962 film by a longshot. Jeremy Irons brings out all of Humbert's excruciating obsession; The young Dominique Swain is a lovely Lolita who perfectly captures her seductiveness and childishness at the same time. The film brims with wonderful moments; you almost feel guilty for feeling so good about a movie that deels with such subjects!
Wonderful! Fantastic! Nothing more to say then that!.......1998-09-07
This book is a must have for anyone who has seen Lolita or for those who are unable to see it at the moment. The script by Stephen Schiff is incredible! He leaves nothing out or tries to hid anything. Every scene every word clear as a bell. I myself have not seen Lolita yet but have read the book by Nabokov. I believe Mr. Schiff stuck strickly to Nabokovs book. The photos in the book are an added bonus to fans of the film or the actors in the film. So if you happen to be a Lolita, Nabokov, or Lyne fan this is the book for you.
