Great Addition.......2006-01-06

I bought Gout Hater's Cookbook I for my father, who suffers from Gout. He liked the recipes and the information so much I also bought Gout Hater's II and III. He has thanked me many times for this very helpful resource.

Life Altering Information.......2006-01-06

Received Gout Hater's Cookbook I as a gift and my wife has used the recipes and important tips for the last year. Information is provided in a concise easy to use style. We just added Gout Hater's Cookbook II and III to our kitchen reference library and we now have three times as many great recipes to use. We can't wait for Cookbook IV and hope that it includes a master index of the recipes from all versions. Thanks for making this information available to us.

Just Brilliant .......2006-01-06

This book is simply wonderful! It really helped me find and make easy-but-elegant recipes for everyday life (and even parties). My husband and I enjoyed the book so much we bought all three! Simply superb, I hope she writes more!

Great information!.......2006-01-06

It is so hard to find information on gout. This book is well-researched, offers lots of information and the recipes are delicious and easy to fix. The bibliography alone is worth the price.

Book Description

Physiological, pharmacological and molecular biological data generated over the past three decades have demonstrated the existence of two major families of extracellular receptors, the P1, a family of four G-protein coupled receptors and the P2, a family of at least 12 receptors responsive to purine (ATP, ADP) and pyrimidine (UTP) nucleotides through which adenosine and ATP can function as extracellular messengers. The present two-part volume represents an integrated compendium of invited chapters by leading researchers in the area focusing on advances in the understanding of purinergic and pyrimidinergic signaling systems, their role(s) in tissue function and pathophysiology and advances in developing potential new medications based on the modulation of P1 and P2 receptor signaling processes. The volumes will thus provide the reader with a topical, comprehensive and integrated overview of this important area.

no longer needed.......2004-06-01

This book is a nice effort - very low-purine, low-fat recipes for ordinary people (without specialized tastes) who wish to minimize their recurrences of gout through diet. There are some odd features - an unnecessary avoidance of egg yolks and caffeine for instance.

But most importantly, there is new research on gout, published a few months ago in the New England Journal of Medicine and reported various places, such as Parade Magazine and Jane Brody's column - that suggests that the book is not really necessary. The research confirms that animal protein - especially seafood but also meat - is dangerous for gout sufferers. But it also suggests that vegetable foods such as beans, spinach, whole grains etc. DO NOT contribute to gout. This is very important information, as previous ideas, represented in this cookbook and other sources, have led gout sufferers to avoid very healthy foods unnecessarily.

What the new findings mean, in terms of cookbooks, is that gout sufferers would do well to explore the whole range of cookbooks for lacto-ovo vegetarians - a huge, wonderful literature. The highly restricted diet represented in this somewhat banal cookbook is no longer supported by science.

Scrumptious Recipes - Excellent bibliography.......2001-01-17

I thoroughly enjoyed the information and the recipes. You don't have to suffer from gout to enjoy Cherry Freeze, Mexican Rice Cooler, Potato Chili, Almond Crisps - many recipes are simple wholesome fare that can become family favorites, repeated again and again. Tips for small changes that make a big difference, quick snacks and other tips come in handy. Indexed with a lengthy bibliography, sources of information and tables of foods. This is not for gourmet chefs, it is for ordinary folks who want to manage their disease by diet - simple, varied and delicious.

A Delightful Book!.......2000-06-24

Thank you for writing this book! I have not been able to find much information anywhere and was so pleased to find all of these delicious ideas. I can't wait for the next book!

Stop at the chart........2000-05-11

The charts for food that are high, relatively high and lower in purines is very comprehensive. The four tips that follow are interesting. The advise to consult a physician about diet is pro forma. After that, stop reading. The receipes redfine the terms bland and boring. The use of frozen vegetables is at best appalling.

Book Description

Following many years when a great deal of attention was directed towards the intracellular roles of purines, there is expanding interest in the field of extracellular purinergic signalling. In this book we focus on the actions of purines in cardiovascular biology, where it is clear that they play major roles in both normal and pathophysiological conditions. Activation of different purinoceptor subtypes by purines can regulate cardiac contractility and electrical activity, modulate catecholamine-mediated responses both pre- and post-junctionally, trigger and mediate ischaemic preconditioning, cause vasodilation and vasoconstriction and enhance endothelial proliferation and apoptosis as well as inhibit platelet and neutrophil function. This book covers the cardiovascular actions mediated by the major P1 and P2 subclasses of purinoceptors and emphasizes the interactions between these two signalling systems. Cardiovascular Biology of Purines covers topics ranging from molecular and cellular to systemic and clinical. It also aims to highlight how basic advances have led to the identification of novel targets for cardiovascular therapeutic developments. We hope that our book will prove to be timely and helpful.

Book Description

Computing for Scientists focuses on the principles involved in scientific programming. Topics of importance and interest to scientists are presented in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way, with coverage ranging from high-level object-oriented software to low-level machine-code operations. Taking a problem-solving approach, this book gives the reader an insight into the ways programs are implemented and what actually happens when they run. Throughout, the importance of good programming style is emphasised and illustrated. Two languages, Fortran 90 and C++, are used to provide contrasting examples, and explain how various techniques are used and when they are appropriate or inappropriate. For scientists and engineers needing to write programs of their own or understand those written by others, Computing for Scientists:
* Is a carefully written introduction to programming, taking the reader from the basics to a considerable level of sophistication.
* Emphasises an understanding of the principles and the development of good programming skills.
* Includes optional "starred" sections containing more specialised and advanced material for the more ambitious reader.
* Assumes no prior knowledge, and has many examples and exercises with solutions included at the back of the book.

Straight to what matters.......2004-12-30

What set this book apart from other books is that it puts side by side C++ and Fortran. Not only that, it does not waste (your) time and talks about the essentials of these two programming languages in a straightforward away. Things like how to input and output your data, arrays, logical expressions and even "arcane" sujects like pointers and objects are presented in a clear way.

Note, though, that this is an introductory book that is aimed at those that are taking their first steps in C++ and/or Fortran programming. And for an introductory book it does a fine job.

Pithy Treatment of a Voluminous Subject.......2002-07-14

In addition to being a chemist myself who uses programming technologies extensively, I also teach courses designed to introduce relevant software technologies to other chemists, such as programming and database skills.

One of the problems that I faced was lack of a good introductory text on programming that would be relevant to an applied scientist. Most introductory programming books appear to be written for someone who intends to be a computer scientist, or even worse, rather than teaching language-independent skills, they try instead to teach you one programming language. As anyone knows who has ever browsed the computer section of their local bookstore or even here on Amazon, the number of books available on the topic of programming is enormous, to say the least.

I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this book at a local electronics store. For the time being, I am going to refer to it as a good starting point for any scientist who wishes to enhance his/her programming skills.

Barlow and Barnett cover many of the topics that I consider essential when learning any programming language, such as data types, operators, conditional statements, looping constructs, etc. Furthermore, he even covers important concepts like accessing memory (e.g. pointers in C++), state machines, abstraction, and object-oriented techniques. I was very happy to see the authors stress the importance of striving for ANSI compliant code.

For a book that was published in 1998, I was very impressed to see a section on template programming with C++. Clearly, Barlow and Barnett are very good at recognizing emerging trends. Furthermore, they are equally adept at explaining difficult concepts in a lucid way. Towards the end of the book, the authors' physics slant is evident by the section on numerical analysis, but the treatment is great, since it exemplifies how programming can be used for solving computationally intensive tasks that have physical significance.

Although this book on programming is geared towards scientists, it really would serve as a nice introduction to programming for any discipline. Although Fortran's popularity is very low outside of engineering, the juxtaposition of C++ with Fortran was a very nice touch, as it really allows one to look past language specific features in order to see generic programming concepts. Computer languages, like spoken languages, are such that, the first one is hardest to learn, but with each one you learn, the process of learning the next one becomes successively easier, and authors' use of two languages in one book really exemplifies this concept.

This book does not aim to teach you either C++ or Fortran, although it does point out some real pitfalls (e.g. in C++, x = a[i] + i++) in each language. Instead, the authors gives you a great foundation, from which you will be able learn generic programming concepts, as well as evaluate programming languages, so that in the future, you should be able to select one that is appropriate for your task at hand. Finally, they authors give great examples of using programming technologies to solve problems of a scientific nature, and he is able to accomplish in less than 300 pages what most books fail to do in three to four times that amount.

unorthodox but very nice introduction to programming.......2002-01-29

Intended for first or second year engineering or science students. It teaches programming at an introductory level. Yes, its a text book for one of those Programming 101 courses.

However, what sets this textbook apart from others is that it employs two languages (i.e. Fortran and C++), instead of one, to teach the same old material. And this has some interesting charasteristics. The authors has presented the material in a comparative way so that the student has the chance to see, very clearly, the relative merits of each language. For example, when they introduce arrays you will see the ease of Fortran in dealing with them. On the other hand, when object oriented programming is presented, C++'s superiority becomes apparent for that purpose. By seeing two languages side by side, one can also discern the fundamentals from language specific rules.

I'm familiar with Fortran and it has been a while since I took my first course in programming but this textbook has taught me quite a lot of things. If you know one of the languages, it might still make sense to buy it. You will appreciate your language better and will find what the other language does better. By the way, the book doesn't teach about mixed language programming.

A vital sourcebook on the life and art of the great genius .......2005-01-27

Eckerman is dutiful and respectful. And he asks the great man questions about his art and his view of the world. Goethe is usually very interesting , and gives information and insight which can be gotten nowhere else. In one exhange he for instance explains why his works cannot be ' popular' but are suited for readers are a certain special kind of mind and heart. In another he utters these well known words about his life and art.
"I have ever been esteemed one of Fortune's chiefest favourites; nor will I complain or find fault with the course my life has taken. Yet, truly, there has been nothing but toil and care; and I may say that, in all my seventy-five years, I have never had a month of genuine comfort. It has been the perpetual rolling of a stone, which I have always had to raise anew. My annals will render clear what I now say. The claims upon my activity, both from within and without, were too numerous.
My real happiness was my poetic meditation and production. But how was this disturbed, limited and hindered by my external position! Had I been able to abstain more from public business, and to live more in solitude, I should have been happier, and should have accomplished more as a poet."
This is a vital source book for understanding one of the world's great geniuses.
