Book Description

This two volume set contains abstracts of papers presented at the Symposium. Biochemists and cell biologists contributed valuable information on glycoconjugates--complex carbohydrates. Discussion of such topics as glycoproteins, proteoglycans and glycolipids involve questions that touch on many areas of medical research. Central to these discussions are the ample indications that the carbohydrate portios of the structure of these molecules perform important biological roles. These include stabilization of protein conformation, specification of human blood types, control of the lifetime of glycoproteins in the circulatory system and control of glyco protein uptake by cells. Topic areas include Primary, Covalent Structure; Synthetic Chemistry of Complex Carbohydrates; Three Dimensional Conformation; Localization, Endocytosis, Receptor, Cell-Cell Recognition; Sub-Cellular Organization, Development; Tumor Antigens; Lectins, Glycolipids; Glycoconjugate Biosynthesis; Function and Metabolism of Proeoglycans; Immunology; and, Molecular Biology.

Book Description

Chaotic dynamics of sea clutter boasts important applications in a number of fields, including weather radar systems, which are intensely studied at major universities. This book presents a detailed account of chaotic dynamics of sea clutter, using real-life sea clutter data rather than simulated data, and drawing on eight years of research by one of the most highly regarded researchers in this area.

Customer Reviews:

Farce.......1999-10-21

Potential buyers of this book should be aware that few researchers have been able to reproduce the results in this book.

There are many existing methods for radar processing. It is highly unlikely that looking at sea clutter from a chaos point of view will contribute much to this field.

Jules Feiffer won hearts and a whole new audience when he leapt from the realm of cartooning to create books. His The Man in the Ceiling, the story of Jimmy the boy cartoonist, was a boisterous calling for us to believe in our dreams. In A Barrel of Laughs, A Vale of Tears Feiffer gives us more help in understanding our dreams: If we don't end up where we think we're going in life, maybe we're better off somewhere else--like where we are now. He introduces us to Roger, a prince with such a sense of humor that the king's wizard sends him on a quest to sober him up a bit. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the quest backfires: Roger enters the Forever Forest, traipses over the Dastardly Divide, and ventures downward into the Valley of Vengeance only to find himself on an entirely different quest than the one the wizard sent him on. Lucky for us, Feiffer's cartooning experience makes him an adventurous author, and he takes us on the ride of our lives, complete with timely asides, wizened wisecracks, silly drawings of characters walking in and out of the story, and more. A Barrel of Laughs, A Vale of Tears will give people of all ages (especially rowdy teenagers who sneak comic books to classes) a barrel of laughs and a wallop of wisdom!

Book Description

`Prince Roger sets out eagerly on a quest and finds a few adventures, a lot of friends, a damsel or two in distress (not!) and himself, in the end. A `carrier of joy' whose mere presence causes everyone to laugh uncontrollably, Roger finds cruelty and kindness equally amusing, and expects his quest to be a lark. It's anything but: As Roger passes through the Forever Forest, nearly starves at the Dastardly Divide, sees people at their worst in the Valley of Vengeance, and temporarily despairs in the Mountains of Malice, he sobers up, learns to care for others, becomes an expert peacemaker, does Good Deeds, and falls in love with Lady Sadie, who says what she thinks as she repeatedly saves his bacon.'—K. `Feiffer's worldly-wise, confiding tone and sense of the absurd are highly congenial, and the drawings are a vintage Feiffer delight.'—Publishers Weekly.

Endearing tale.......2005-11-16

This is a fun book, a sort of send up of fairy tales. The writing style is very loose, and the book is filled with illustrations.

I liked it because it moves quickly. It lacks focus, but at least something is always happening, and the story is strange and quirky. The characters are engaging, and the writing is enjoyably casual.

It's about a prince who makes everyone happy, a princess so beautiful she turns anyone who looks at her into stone, a clumsy giant, and a hunter who shouldn't even be in the book but stays in it despite the author's protests.

It's a quick read, very fun. Recommended for kids and adults, especially if you're looking for something different.

Very good, although a bit confusing..........2005-11-13

I read this book as an assignment for an extra reading group I'm in. There are definately some funny lines in the book, but I don't think the overall story was that interesting. I suggest it to kids ages 11-14. The reason I suggest it to older kids is because younger kids wouldn't understand it so much. I really did like it, though. Give it a try, you might love it!

THE BEST.......2005-06-05

I have got to say this is a Book of great comedy. It has an interesting flow of characters a lively narrator and hilariously funny pictures. All who I have recommended this book to, loved it. the only problem that I have found with it is the ending. He stops making every one laugh. I thought that he was sort of like Peter Pan and would always be funny. But he turned serious. Still it is absolutely awesome, A must read.

Die Laughing -- a review by Olivia, age 9.......2004-05-01

In the beginning Roger is a prince, but not a normal prince. Roger has a strange effect on people. If he gets too close to a person, they could die laughing. When J. Wellington Wizard tells Roger to go on a quest, Roger asks, "Isn't a quest where you have to go somewhere or find something?" J. Wellington says that he sees him entering the Forever Forest, and tells him to take a sack of magic powder, and whenever he sees someone, to dust a little on himself, so that Roger can turn into a thing, maybe even a leaf. Then, whoever he is near won't laugh. Roger sets out on his quest, gets stuck in the Forever Forest, and meets a lot of new people, such as little Lucille, Andrew, and Tom. Some are evil and some are nice. Roger hates it in the Forever Forest, but he knows it will get better and he will be the happiest man on earth.

This was a very funny book to read because the author pretended that he doesn't have control over his book, such as when, in chapter 5, Night of the Frogs, he says that he was just trying to fool Tom because chapter 5 is really called Tom. Tom is a character who is supposed to leave on page 9 but he refused. The author always talks about how Tom can walk in and out of the book, and come back at the perfect time. I thought this book was hilarious, engaging, and thoroughly entertaining.

Wonderful.......2004-01-15

I remember sitting in class in third grade while the teacher read us this book. I always liked the books she read us but I LOVED this book. I remember after school one day, I couldn't wait to see what happened so I actually went to the library and read the rest of the book. I haven't read it in a while but I would really reccomend it for anyone or their kid. It was a truly enchanting and humerous book.

Book Description

"McKinney vividly recreates Seoul during the Korean War from the beat-up cars made of beer cans to the affluent homes lined with fish ponds and grape vines. . . . It's a technically skillful achievement in a story deceptively disguised as a slim, fast read."-Honolulu Weekly

By age 14 she was on her own, fleeing the communists, a waif living in the streets of Seoul, begging from American soldiers and stealing food. Her mother, a Korean peasant forced into sex slavery by Japanese occupiers, was long dead. Then Fate intervened: she was hit by a car. The driver, a prominent filmmaker, took her in and mentored her into an acting career, capitalizing on her natural beauty. By age nineteen, Park Soong Nan was the brightest star of Korean cinema, an Asian Elizabeth Taylor. They called her "The Queen of Tears."

Many years later her three grown children and their families are settled in Hawaii and she, the matriarch, comes to visit. Indomitable and irascible, Soong's large presence seems catalytic, setting off smoldering jealousies, dormant longings, and the unending contest for primacy in her affection.

The Queen of Tears is a story about an Asian American family's struggle with Old World ways in the multicultural new world of Honolulu.

This and The Tattoo--Must Reads.......2007-06-23

I'm thinking that the New Yorkers just don't get it. Both novels are unforgettable, create the kind of scenes that stay with you.

0 Star - laughable.......2006-10-19

This author must have based this book on years of watching MASH. Was any research done on the KOrean culture, wardrobe or language? Almost insulting to the readers as it is chock full of stereotypes and the first few pages read like a silly Harlequin novel for junior high school drop outs.

I can not understand why this author decided to make a Korean woman the pratagonist of this book since he knows absolutely nothing about Koreans or Korea.

Perhaps the author can write a book on gardening on Mars?

Amazing and sad...........2004-11-20

I've enjoyed both books by this author (this and The Tattoo) simply because of his ability to tell it as it is. I found myself rereading several pages, mainly because the sadness in some of the stories was so palpable, both in the way he describes things and in the fact that it's very true to real life. I'm hoping to read his third novel when it is published.
