Glycoscience: Chemistry & Chemical Biology 3 Volume Set (With CD-ROM)

Book Description

Glycostructures play a highly diverse and crucial role in a myriad of organisms and important systems in biology, physiology, medicine, bioengineering and technology. Only in recent years have the tools been developed to partly understand the highly complex functions and the chemistry behind them, but many facts still remain undiscovered. "All roads lead to carbohydrates ... we cannot do without them." (K.C. Nicolaou). Presently the field is experiencing a "quantum jump". Therefore the editors have drawn together in this three volume set plus an accompanying CD-ROM, the complete and up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology, and present them in the form of a comprehensive and strictly systematic survey. The texts are furnished by 2.670 figures, chemical structures and reaction schemes (including more than 12.000 individual chemical reactions), and more than 9.000 references.

Great resource.......2007-09-29

Just getting into the book selling biz. I have been going through cancer and now need a job where I can tailor my hours around all of my doctor's appointments. I like both this book and the Stephen Windwalker books. Very good information without alot of extraneous stuff.

Great Book.......2007-09-25

This a great book to help those interested in selling books online. It is very bold of Mr. Weber to enpower the competition. But it is a very smart book that will help those motivated to help themselves. I recommend it to all interested in getting online selling books.

The Home-Based Book Store.......2007-09-17

Very good book for the person who is contemplating entering this type of business. Seemed to cover most of the bases. If he didn't and I do actually go into business, I guess I'll find out pretty quickly. But, overall, since I've read a few other books dealing with this topic, I feel the author covered the subject matter well and I would recommend the book to others.

AWESOME.......2007-08-27

This is a fantastic book chock full of information. I've already started using some of his suggestions and am looking forward to having my own online used book store.

If you've ever wondered what crashed into the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, this book will give you some startling answers. While the first version was published in hardcover in 1997, Corso provides new evidence for the presence of alien intruders in this pocket paperback edition. Whether or not you believe his contention, the sheer weight of governmental sources and documentation presented by the former Army intelligence officer is not easily dismissed. Once you understand the historical context (in the midst of the Cold War soon after World War II, with Orson Welles having recently inspired panic in citizens with his fictional War of the Worlds radio broadcast), the military deciding to cover up a real-life alien ship becomes more credible. Corso also gives a convincing explanation of why reports were so multi-various and conflicting. Even if you believe the book is utter fiction, it's still a compelling read. --Randall Cohan

Book Description

A landmark expose firmly grounded in fact, The Day After Roswell ends the decades-old controversy surrounding the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's Research & Development department, has come forward to reveal his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the Roswell crash. He tells us how he spearheaded the Army's reverse-engineering project that led to today's:

Integrated circuit chips
Fiber optics
Lasers
Super-tenacity fibers

and "seeded" the Roswell alien technology to giants of American industry.

Laying bare the U.S. government's shocking role in the Roswell incident -- what was found, the cover-up, and how they used alien artifacts to change the course of twentieth-century history -- The Day After Roswell is an extraordinary memoir that not only forces us to reconsider the past, but also our role in the universe.

Download Description

A landmark expose firmly grounded in fact, The Day After Roswell puts a fifty-year-old controversy to rest. Since 1947, the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, has fueled a firestorm of speculation and controversy with no conclusive evidence of its extraterrestrial origin - until now. Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's Research & Development department, has come forward to tell the whole explosive story. Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Corso reveals for the first time his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the crash, and discloses the U.S. government's astonishing role in the Roswell incident: what was found, the cover-up, and how these alien artifacts changed the course of twentieth-century history.

Adolescent fantasy that would only fool the educationally-challenged.......2007-10-04

I wouldn't waste a lot of time on this run-of-the-mill alien fantasy, since anyone with a basic familiarity with the history of science will recognize the howling inconsistencies in Corso's claims that he "inserted" advanced alien technology into the R&D mainstream .. and nobody noticed, anywhere. Since the long & tedious history of microchip technology, lasers, masers, fiberoptics, and the rest of Corso's "alien" technology is well-documented in thousands of places, for anyone to study if they wish, this amateurish little book will only fool the scientifically illiterate and the conspiracy groupies who lack the .perseverance to actually take science courses. Unfortunately, there are a lot of those out there ....

An internet search will also reveal Corso's other wild-eyed claims, such as his claims to have met and telepathically communicated with aliens in the desert, or his claims to have seen -- and touched -- flying saucers that appear and disappear magically. Corso's fans don't like to talk about those interviews, but a rational person will consider them along with Corso's other claims.

His purported military experiences don't survive the smell test well, either, for anyone with a fair amount of military experience, especially in the intel or R&D fields. Certainly he held some responsible positions, as many majors and lieutenant colonels, but that doesn't prevent any individual from becoming a fruitcake later in life, or just manufacturing "experiences" to make up for his relative obscurity after he left the military. Some of his claims -- for example, that his foreign technology office was "dissolved" when he & Trudeau left -- are just silly. There were foreign technology offices that exploited captured materiel long after he left, notably at Wright-Pat AFB and other less-known places. I personally sent materiel there as recently as the 80s. I probably don't need to add that the number of people involved in these efforts over the years make the likelihood of Corso's tales nearly zero. Hundreds, probably thousands, of people would have first-hand knowledge of all the "alien" technology, and you can guess the likelihood of this "secret" being kept this long, by that many...not even counting Corso's claims that many other countries & governments had similar "Roswell-type" recoveries and exploitation programs.

One can't help feeling sorry for poor Corso, and wondering just how bleak his later years must have become for him to have found this Great Conspiracy necessary to his emotional well-being. You also can't help liking the guy, and wishing he had found more satisfaction in the really important and valuable work he REALLY did. I salute his service ... but I don't believe a bit of his UFO pipedreams.

Not an interesting read.......2007-09-26

I was so looking forward to this book, but never made it completely though the book. There is so much in the book that is not related to the subject. A lot of background of the author and what he was doing at the time, or what the military or political situation was at the time. I found it boring. A male might find it more interesting, because war stuff is a subject they like.

Cosmic Ego At-Large.......2007-08-07

wow. A new history of the world based on Philip Corso. Just happens to be at the right place at the right time to pry open a crate that contains the remains of an ET? Claims that basically nothing was accomplished with the remnants of a recovered space craft held by the USAF until he was given the "nut file" some 10 years after the crash at Roswell. Only then were scientists and industry leaders organized in a meaningful manner. Wow. Claims that the reason why the USA and USSR possessed 10 times the number of nuclear weapons to destroy the earth was to threaten aliens from thinking they could take over a portion of the planet. And this was a mutually agreed upon decision by the countries. Wow. No discussion of the nuclear fallout that would basically contaminate the entire planet from such a massive detonation?? Claims that he was the real protagonist is pushing JFK to act forcefully against the Soviets in Cuba through a planned leak in the Boston Globe while JFK was in Massachusetts. Wow. Admits that ET's have the technology to travel 4000+ miles per hour in spacecrafts that can stop immediately, move to the front and back of all earthly crafts but somehow now we are on "equal footing" with them because we have military satelites that can destroy their space vehicles, just because Corso says so!! Explain to me how a satelite can somehow outmanuever a craft that can do what Corso and military "experts" claim the UFO's can accomplish?? Wouldn't ALL satelites be super easy targets for such interplanetary space vehicles based on the capabilities that Corso himself describes???? Here is a man who had decided to risk reputation, pension, and life to make a "full disclosure" but didn't take the time to copy one single photo of an ET?? Not one single copy photo of a TOP TOP SECRET REPORT of a EBE or UFO with all the necessary markings of an official military document to corroborate EVEN a part of his incredible claims??? All the while claiming that he had unlimited access to such things for years!!! What did he have to lose by obtaining something, anything for the public to trust him. Instead, he provides us with some sort of intelligence estimate about the possibility of creating a moon based facility. What is so amazing about that considering the fact that we were putting men on the moon????? I can go on and on. Mr. Corso's ego is the real UFO in this story.

A highly credible, retired government official's personal testimony.......2007-08-05

You might have read any of the multitude of books and seen any of the dozens of cable TV specials perporting to present you with the most accurate account of the July 1947 events in New Mexico. Virtually all of them have been written and/or produced by a variety of persons who approached the subject from an outside investigator's point of view.
But that is exactly what makes this amazing book so unique. Indeed, it was written by a man so highly credible as a person of impeccable standing and as one of those who would doubtlessly know the facts behind the legend, that those who remain adamantly fantatical in their disbelief of the events described in great detail herein after reading this man's testimony are left to comfort themselves with the imagined thought that he must surely have been only joking.

Starts off great, then rambles off into............2007-03-06

First of all, let me state, "I belive...in UFOs and alien beings". That being said, I greatly enjoyed the first part of Corso's book; but was greatly disappointed and bored with the second half of the book. The first half of the book details the crash of the UFO at Roswell - the story of the extraterrestials that were found at the site; the autopsies of the beings; how the craft supposedly worked; the debris found at the site. All great reading for the first third/half of the book. He writes very convincingly and well that a craft really did crash. Then, the book takes a turn to describe how much of our technology was developed in part from debris found at the crash site. I'm not so sure about that.

He describes how much of the weapons we have today (anti-missile missles, Star Wars, the circuit chip, for example) were developed by our scientists, and the armed forces based directly from alien technology. But, he also states, that we were already working on some of these items when the craft was found. Corso writes about 20 pages each to describe these developments (therefore, about 120 extra pages!). I found myself wondering what all this has to do with an alien crash at Roswell? He talks about how General MacArthur wanted to develop a moon base for the Army to protect the US against the Russians. Really? It never happened so why spend so much time writing about it. In all the books I've read about MacArthur, I never read that!

I think the only part of Corso's book that made sense was his description of the laser and its use by the aliens regarding cattle mutilation. I have always believed that and his story made sense to me. But, to say that all of the previously described technology was finally developed as preventive weaponry against an alien attack? Hardly.

Unfortunately, it was Corso's rambling about the political scenes and the infighting to get these weapons developed that lost me. I kept thinking, who cares about Nikola Tesla' youth, his writings and experiments; who cares about the development of Star Wars. I thought this book was about Roswell!
