Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive review of the structural, conformational, and chemical manifestations of the anomeric effect. In order to present a cogent discussion of this most fundamental and relevant phenomenon, three chapters examine our present understanding of the origin of this conformational effect, based upon a wealth of theoretical and physical data. Equally important, however, are three additional chapters that deal with the general consequences of the stereoelectronic interactions that are associated with the basis of the anomeric effect. The remainder of the book is devoted to new areas of development in the topic-such as differentiation of the endo and exo anomeric interactions, specific analysis of the enthalpic component of anomeric effects, critical evaluation of the kinetics and reverse anomeric effects, discovery of a new substantial effect in second- and lower-row anomeric segments, and others.

Book Description
Monocots: Systematics and Evolution presents leading work from around the world on non-grass monocotyledons and includes reviews and current research into their comparative biology, phylogeny and classification. The papers are based on presentations at the Second International Conference on the Comparative Biology of the Monocotyledons, Monocots II, held in Sydney, Australia in late 1998, but many have been updated or extended to take into account new information. All 72 papers have been peer-reviewed.
A companion volume is available. Grasses: Systematics and Evolution is a similar selection of papers from the Third International Symposium on Grass Systematics and Evolution, also part of Monocots II.

Having never seen the famous 1970s television series based on Graves' historical novel of ancient Rome and being generally uneducated about matters both ancient and Roman, I wasn't prepared for such an engaging book. But it's a ripping good read, this fictional autobiography set in the Roman Empire's days of glory and decadence. As a history lesson, it's fabulous; as a novel it's also wonderful. Best is Claudius himself, the stutterer who let everyone think he was an idiot (to avoid getting poisoned) but who reveals himself in the narrative to be a wry and likable observer. His story continues in Claudius the God.
Book Description
Considered an idiot because of his physical infirmities, Claudius survived the intrigues and poisonings of the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, and the Mad Caligula to become emperor in 41 A.D. A masterpiece.

Fast Paced historical fiction.......2007-08-30
Movies set in ancient Rome has always given a bloated/ larger than life view of the period. Thanks to movies like Gladiator, Spartacus and Ben-hur. When people say the word "Rome", we envision gladiators and people dressed up in bad togas and epic battles. I Claudius removes all these cliches. You dont have battle descriptions, Heston/Crowe-like heroes, swordfights, etc. What you get here is a gritty, realistic picture of post-Julius Caeser period. Think about a Martin Scorcese gangster picture - Departed or Goodfellas or Casino set in roman period. The book is filled with political maneouvers, double crosses, murders. The narration is by an interesting emperor. None of the characters are defined as "good" or "bad". Everyone has a gray shade. The book has three villains - Livia (you will never forget this character in your life), Caligula (depicted as a psycho) and Tiberius. Livia is so good at her villany, you would start loving her !
You would never close the book in the middle. Very fast paced. Most of the events in the book are true. You might keep the book down only in you are overwhelmed by murders (I was !). The number of murders per page increases as the book moved forward.
Roman history has never been this good. Do not get turned off by the fact that this book is "literature"..All top 100 lists will feature this book. Let me put it this way - this is the most "entertaining" and "mainstream" literature. Enjoy the wonderful read !
Fascinating.......2007-08-28
A fascinating, well researched historical novel. I love Roman history and this is as good as it gets. The characters are well researched and very well developed. The result is captivating. I highly recomend this book.
Just brilliant.......2007-06-25
The history of the reign of the Caesars is one that has more fast-paced action, betrayal, violence, sexual depravity, scheming than any modern-day thriller. However there are few examples of great fictionalised accounts that present this. I Claudius is such an account - Graves makes for extremely compelling, unputdownable reading without sacrificing historical accuracy, for the facts speak for themselves. You don't need to know much about Roman history, or anything for that matter, because the novel takes you through everything. The differences -- and similarities -- between that world and ours are also made very apparent by the narrator (Claudius before he became emperor) and enrich the book. Finally there is a great sense of irony maintained throughout -- of course the facts of history themselves are ironic (the stuttering Claudius thought of by most as a fool surviving his murdering relatives to become emperor). But Graves capitalises on this and other ironies. And of course it is a historical novel narrated by a character who is himself a historian bringing up some interesting questions.
I was enthralled, entertained, educated and more and am already breezing through the sequel (Claudius the God).
A delightful read.......2007-06-01
I, Claudius is written as if it were the autobiography of Claudius, the fourth ruler of the Julian-Claudian dynasty. I should preface this review by pointing out that I began this book knowing very little of ancient Roman history, and therefore I cannot speak authoritatively on the historical accuracy of the novel. My primary basis for praising the book is that Mr. Graves here tells a darn good story. I have read elsewhere that Graves preferred poetry to prose, and that he wrote novels so that he would be financially independent enough to pursue his ultimate calling, poetry. Be that as it may, this book is written in beautiful prose. It isn't the ebullient, ecstatic prose of a Nabokov or Joyce, but rather a very concise, clean prose. Both the writing style and the exciting narrative conspire to make this a fast, delightful read.
Claudius was born into the upper echelons of Roman society during the reign of Augustus Caesar, who was his great uncle. Because of various physical deformities and a pronounced stutter, many regarded him as an idiot. Because of his status as somewhat of a social outcast, Claudius throughout most of his early life did not participate directly in the political intrigues of the day. Rather, he observed them from afar, and this book is written as if it were Claudius' retelling of these observations. A good portion of the book concerns itself with the stories of others, and he himself doesn't feature prominently in the action until later. The book is populated with fascinating characters, including his diabolical, powerful grandmother Livia, his heroic brother Germanicus, his demented nephew Caligula, and countless others. I was almost reminded when reading it of One Hundred Years of Solitude. Although the two books' settings could hardly be more different, they each share a number of commonalities, including a rich cast of wonderfully drawn characters, perfect narrative pace, and complex, multilayered plots and subplots. And despite the ancient setting, the plots here have everything that the modern, worldly reader could hope for: political intrigues, assassination, torture, incest, adultery (so, so much adultery!), all manner of sexually perverse acts, dozens of suicides, military battles, witchcraft, curses, prophecies...the list goes on and on!
Overall, I recommend this book to anybody looking for a good story. A strong interest in or knowledge of Rome isn't necessary, as my own praise of the book indicates. I'm not sure if I am going to read the sequel, Claudius the God, anytime soon, mainly because of time constraints, but I plan in the near future to watch the entire BBC miniseries! Graves did a wonderful service by breathing new life into these fascinating historical characters. Historians can quibble all they want about whether the book faithfully recounts the historical record or whether Graves was pushing any political agendas. The book was written as a piece of historical fiction, and it succeeds marvelously on every level.
A delicious Caesar Salad .......2007-04-14
Chronicaling through 5 Caesars as told by the so-called "idiot" Claudius. Claudius is destined to be Caesar by keeping under the radar.
The story of each Caeser is captivating, the politics and betrayals are brutal. Caligula is both scary and funny.
A top 10 book for me.
This book is followed by Claudius the God: And His Wife Messalina which was also a good read.
Book Description
From the moment Celeste Dawson was born, her big sister, Katrina, had it in for her. And as much as Celeste yearned for Katrina's love, the sibling rivalry only got worse. For Celeste, the ultimate betrayal came when she was seventeen, and Katrina seduced her boyfriend. That was the day Celeste gave up trying for any kind of friendship with her sister. Now the two are grown, married, and leading separate lives. Until tragedy strikes.
When her husband is found murdered in a seedy motel room in a very compromising position, Celeste is devastated. Rather than comfort her, Katrina is more than happy to suggest that Celeste wasn't properly "taking care of" her man. But the tables soon turn as Katrina's husband falls into a coma from an illness no one knew he had. And that's not the only surprise. A second wife soon comes out of the woodwork, looking to stake her claim. Oblivous as ever, Celeste's parents want her to help Katrina fight back—even as she's looking for her own husband's killer.
Blindsided as she is by grief, Celeste can't help wondering: now that she and Katrina are finally on the same side of pain—will blood finally become thicker than a history of jealousy and deceit?

Interesting.......2007-05-21
This is one of those books that will appeal to only certain readers. I can't say that this is the best book I have read all year and to be honest I wouldn't put it in my top ten. However, it will keep you guessing and you won't believe the ending. If you are interested in reading something that will pull you away from your everyday life, this is the book for you.
Very Good Book.......2007-03-16
It held my interest. I read it because I did not see the play. I want to read the rest of her books. Very well written.
Very good book.......2007-03-01
This book was well written and full of drama. The author did a good job revealing the fact that just because you're family doesn't mean there will be love. This was truly a dysfunctional family. This book kept my interest from beginning to end. Very well written.
Way too much drama!.......2007-02-14
I didn't like this book at all. There was so much going on that it was hard to keep track of it all. The dialogue between the characters at times was just unbelievable and took so many different tangents I didn't know what I was supposed to be reading. The language used was very, very, strong and explicit and it was way too much for me. I read all of the reviews and I was so excited about reading it, but I think everyone needs to find their own preferences and stick to them.
When Darkness Falls.......2007-01-20
Gloria Mallette's latest novel focuses on a subject that's nearly as old as time itself - sibling rivalry. Since they were children, to say sisters Celeste and Katrina didn't get along is an understatement. Katrina hated her little sister with a passion. Whenever she could do something to upset Celeste she did. Although the sisters' always had problems, it was Katrina's decision to sleep with Celeste's boyfriend that was the final nail in the coffin of their relationship.
Adulthood found both sisters married with children and living separate lives, most times not seeing each other for years at a time, if that often. Their parents have always tried to overlook the girls' rocky relationship, not comprehending its seriousness. They did not realize that because one of their children intensely despised the other, it would lead to a series of events that would tear apart an already distant family.
When Celeste's husband is found murdered in a hotel room among evidence of infidelity, Katrina pays her a visit. Even in the midst of tragedy Katrina can not hide her malicious intent and that call ended just as all the others did, in a hail of spiteful words. Upon returning home Katrina is presented with her own problems. Her husband has died suddenly and left her to settle his affairs which include a secret family and `special' friend.
At her parent's insistence, Celeste is forced to help Katrina sort through her issues, even as her own husband's death is still an unsolved mystery. Not for a second does Celeste think her sister will have some sort of revelation and accept her help with open arms, but she does hope for some sort of civil communication. And she actually gets it. What she doesn't get is why her oldest niece expresses a hatred that exceeds Katrina's by far.
Gloria Mallette has once again put together a story that satisfies the most avid reader's appetite. The characters were interesting and made me want to read more about them. The plot was entertaining and the conclusion satisfying. All in all...a great story.

Interesting Read!.......2006-01-05
I picked this book up on a humbug, and while it took me a while to get into it, after awhile I found it hard to put down as I kept wondering how it was going to turn out.
I think it's a pretty good try for a first time novelist. I'd be interested in reading more from this author.
A Woman's Survival.......2003-01-04
Raine McKenzie experiences in her young adult life fortified her to visualize her success and to obtain it against the odds.
The author portrayed Raine's life vividly whereby you could feel her pain and other times her triumph. It is not easy for a black woman to survive; to be unloved by a mother and family; to hold on to see a brighter day and still deal with more disappointments.
I salute the author in her imagery and again bringing the character, Raine, to life.
Phyllis Gibson
WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK.......2002-12-30
In this "coming-of-age" style mystery, the heroine Raine McKenzie climbs to the top to become the head of a multi-million dollar corporation despite her being reared partly by her very hateful mother, then by her very loving grandmother and ultimately by her Aunt Bridgette. The letter which threatens to destroy Raines successful career is the center of this story as she travels back to her childhood and reveals her joys and her pain and all that has led up to receiving the letter.
S. A. Thompson has succeeded in pulling the reader into the lives of her characters and into this rags-to-riches mystery. Travel with her as she proves that what's done in the dark ALWAYS comes to light!
What's Done Iin the Dark.......2002-12-26
Don't wait for the movie you've got to read this book.
I've never read a book that would have adults cheering and at the same time teach adolescents how to cope with unspeakable problems, keep your self respect and succeed. Ms. Thompson first hooks you with a intriguing plot then reels you in with a story that feels like home. You feel comfortable in Raine McKenzies world even though there issues in her life most could never deal with. The language is clean the issues are tough. Read it and wait for the movie. Truely a book for everyone.
Done In The Dark.......2002-12-13
What's done in the dark is one of the exceptional books to read.
It is thrilling, mesmerizing, intriguing and full of suspense from the beginning to the very end.
The characters literally jump off the page; one can truly relate to the elegance, flair, unique style, furnishings and elaborate gala events in their finest array and attire.
While reading and visualizing the "old songs" being played at the dances, it really brought back those "old school memories" when music was truly music with the special lyrics and sounds.
This is one of those "must" read type of book! The ending was so unique it made tears stream down my face as the cycle of events unfold; whether happy, sad, joyful, elation, etc., this book keeps one guessing with the astonishing intrigue.
I commend Ms. Thompson on the captivating usage of words. I, in fact, completed reading this book in one day! I just could not put in down; I purchased "What's Done In The Dark" on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon; had completed reading from front to back no later than Monday. I just could not wait to read another passage. In fact, all of my reading was completed while riding to and from work on the bus!
I was truly astonished to learn who sent the mysterious letter. It left me speechless and awe; just to think, that person would have never crossed my mine to be the culprit to send such a diabolical/deceptive letter!!
Truly, a recommended reading for the avid READER!
