Book Description
Detailed methods of the most widely used and best established animal models and related approaches to the study of rheumatic diseases and their treatment are presented in this major reference book. The detailed description of each model allows the reader to select the model most appropriate for his research and to reproduce the model without resorting to additional references. In addition, other methods for induction of the model, sources for procurement of suitable animals and validation of the model are highlighted. Methods for eliciting non-spontaneous phenomena, follow-up examinations and data collection are also described. Specific techniques such as joint-injection, obtaining synovial tissue, methods of assessment and similar non-specific information are emphasized. This easy-to-read resource text is essential for scientists, graduate students, research assistants, physicians and other investigators who use animal models for the study of rheumatic diseases.

For the Experienced User.......2006-08-18
Spectral methods, as presented by Boyd, are techniques for numerically solving differential equations. His book is a collection of A LOT of practical information presented mostly through a mathematical frame work. Practical means different things to different people; in Boyd's case, he discusses the details of what happens in putting the mathematics to use (the pitfalls), and when each technique should be used. Supporting numerical methods, such as matrix techniques, are discussed where needed. Example computer code is scarce. Worked examples are inconsistently used, and sometimes abstract.
As a novice to the field, I found the level of presentation a notch too high to be able to put it to use. It was more abstract than applied. I'm not saying it is not informative, only that this is not a good first book on the topic. I might get this as a second or third book.
I give it 4 starts due to two complaints. There are not a lot of illustrations, and moreover those that are included are often too simple or need more annotation. A little more thought should go into them, and there should be a more of them for some of the more abstract topics. Additional thought should go into the organization too. Information at different levels of expertise are scattered throughout so you either (a) need to know the answers already, (b) skip ahead several chapters, or (c) go on an aside in another text.
Prof. Boyd's book is a gift from the sky.......2004-07-20
Prof. Boyd's book is god-sent,
I discovered it during a self-embarked journey in the blooming world of spectral methods. Unfortunately,
these very potent and promising techniques have only recently
escaped the confines of the field of Applied Mathematics where
they were first developed. Thus, most existing literature is too
mathematically oriented and rather opaque to the engineer and
applied scientist, as it does not offer them the basic
operational knowledge that they would require. This book is
one of the first to overcome this chasm. It provides
a survey of all the necessary fundamentals for the application
of spectral methods to various disciplines of computational
engineering but also delves deep into various advanced topics.
At the same time it provides one with sufficient ammunition
to explore, otherwise intimidating, more theoretically-oriented
texts. The text, reflecting the author's extensive knowledge
on the subject, has an unusually flowing writing style to it
and throughout it are interspersed some quite entertaining
snippets of the author's humor.
I recommend this book to all students of spectral methods, regardless
of level of expertise.

Book Description
This irresistible tale of the adventures of two friends growing up in frontier America is one of Mark Twain's most popular novels. The farcical, colorful, and poignant escapades of Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn brilliantly depict the humor and pathos of growing up on the geographic and cultural rim of nineteenth-century America. Originally intended for children, the book transcends genre in its magical depiction of innocence and possibility, and is now regarded as one of Twain's masterpieces. As Frank Conroy observes in his Introduction,
The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer has become a sacred text within the body of American literature.
This version, which reproduces the Mark Twain Project edition, is the approved text of the Center for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association.

Best Book On Boyhood Of All-Time?.......2007-10-01
Ever since my dad first read this timeless classic to my sister & me as kids, while camping in our trailer during the summer, it has left its indelible impression upon my imagination. How I too wanted to shove off from shore on my "skiff" and have my own adventures down the Mississippi! I know of no other book that so wonderfully captures the essence and joy of carefree boyhood.
When I say "carefree", however, I am not forgetting the grim and serious elements of the novel. But these work just as well as the sunnier and funnier parts. In fact, just when the narrative needs it, a murder comes along which boosts the plot most effectively, giving it a shot in the arm. And speaking of the darker aspects, does not Injun Joe have to rank highly on the list of greatest villains in the history of literature? I can assure you that as a boy listening to the cave chapters, his menace was palpable and unforgettable.
Unfortunately, literary snobs have often found it fashionable to belittle Tom Sawyer as inconsequential and a 'lightweight' seen against the towering greatness of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". I couldn't disagree more. (I love Huckleberry Finn dearly and plan to review it soon as well). I read a quote in a foreword that I thought was very insightful: "Huckleberry Finn is a greater book, but not a better one." I think this is exactly so. Extol the greatness of HF by all means, but don't make the mistake of downgrading Twain's other masterpiece, just because its theme is not so weighty and grave. In fact, the episodic nature of the telling of Tom Sawyer fit Twain's particular brand of genius perfectly (whereas there were some sub par stretches in Huck Finn).
Loved it as a boy, love it no less as a man. Thank you, dad, for imparting such an enduring gift.
DVD review.......2007-09-04
This is an exciting coverge of something some of us lived through and puzzled over for years. As the movie indicates someone may feel sure that the Zodiac is dead from a heart attack but the rest of us have been left in wonder.
You will LOVE this book!.......2007-07-16
Invaluable for teachers and for students who need more than just plain text. The sidebars offer endless historical factoids and pictures that walked my students through the story because they could visualize the characters, household and farming tools, and places during Tom Sawyer's life. For teachers, it empowered me with so much extra and interesting information to heighten the interest of my students. Sadly, I do not think this book is still in print. PLEASE put this book back into print!
Great Twain work.......2007-07-15
This a great story about three of the most recognizable characters and one of the best American authors. There maybe a lack of `adventures' but a glimpse into the daily life of Tom is a well written, entertaining work which is necessary for any classical literature list. Great introduction to Twain's prose makes the reader want to immediately start the Huck version.
Twain's Classic Boy Adventure.......2007-06-29
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was Twain's somewhat serious tale of a boy coming of age on the Mississippi River. It was also a wonderful social commentary of the times in which it takes place. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," on the other hand, gives us a fun glimpse into the life of one young boy in a fictitious town on the Mississippi River in Missouri. It's definitely the funnier of the two novels, even though it deals with the very real dangers of running off alone, thieves, murderers, and even slacking off on memorizing Sunday school verses. Tom gets into trouble without even thinking about it. He, Huck Finn and a wonderful cast of characters spend their days cutting class, playing pirates, pretending to be Robin Hood, get lost in a cave and even hunt for treasure. It's a grand tale told on a grand scale and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure in the Americana vein.
**Potential Spoiler**
One character that I'd like to single out is the murderous Injun Joe. As loving and protective as Jim is in "Huck Finn," Joe is completely the opposite. He strikes fear into Tom and all of his friends and is the primary catalyst for much of the second half of the book. He's one of the best villains around and his fate (as far as children's books are concerned) is one of the most upsetting. It's amazing how Twain could find a perfect fit for such a wicked character in such a fun book.
**End Spoiler**
I'm sure that an intellectual could digest this book in greater style than I and reveal countless points on morality, religion, ethics, etc., but for most readers (young and old), this is simply a great adventure. Whether you're fourteen or forty, you'll love this book. Highly recommended.
Book Description
