A Delightful Game.......2006-04-05
Tetris move over Mundy's got a new game. How do you make science fun? You make a game of it. This is exactly what we do in our lab, we use this book as a game. We open up to a random page to see if there is an error, and most times (the guy shouting behind is saying every time) we are not dissapointed. This book is useful in that it has contemporary examples, where March does not, however, the number of errors makes this book useless for somebody who is trying to learn the material for the first time. Zero stars for accuracy, five stars for entertainment.
Here is the Gauntlet!!!
Page 425 (meta photoaddition) TL 44 2011. product- wrong structure
Page 365 (Knoevenagel condensation)TL,45, 3999. Ugi-Knoevenagel Rxn starting material aniline derivative does not have a NITROGEN.
Page 428 (Michael addition) JACS, 125, 15837. Not a Dicobalt product. It is a ester. Page 429 Robinson annulation Not a Michael addition
Page 487 (pauson-khand)OL, 5,3491. SM is an allene so the product is missing an alkene in the seven membered ring.
Page 176 (Corey-Fuchs reaction) Seyferth protocol: reasonance structures are wrong. They are missing a hydrogen atom. Thus the rest of the mechanism is wrong.
Page 235 (Evans chiral Auxillaries) Typos of Me and Et
Page 44 (Arndt-Eistert homologation) It is supposed to be a carbene so why is there two lone pairs. The Kowalski Ester Homologation: Should be LiCHBr2 not LiCHBR2 and after the rxn arrow the addition component should be CHBr2 addition not CH2Br.
Page 459 (Nenitzescu indole synthesis) If it is a indole synthesis they all should have indole products. One product is drawn as an indene. Also in the solid phase example the intermediate is wrong. The solid phase linker is connected to the amide not the aromatic ring.
Page 47 (Aza-cope) It's supposed to be formic acid quenching the rxn not peroxyformic acid.
Page 445 (Myers-Saito cyclization) Jacs 118, 10783. Starting material has 17 carbons - product has 18 carbons. One of them is wrong

Good but not extensive.......2006-03-03
It is good, with lot of examples and references. However, I did find some of the reactions and reagents have been ommitted. besides there is very little explanations for certain reaction mechanisms. But I would recommend this book to all synthetic organic chemists.
dissapointed.......2000-03-21
I bought this book as required for my organic synthesis course. I am dissapointed with how little detail is given for each mechanism. Also the examples given are also very difficult to work out and no solution is given for each example.
This is a good book........1999-12-17
March's book is a tome, so I'm not sure how you could not use most of the same kinds of reactions that March uses. March's book is comprehensive, but Mundy and Ellerd's book is not bad because it is not comprehensive. It is what it says it is- a complilation of name reactions. It doesn't go into as much detail as March does, but it puts the name reactions in a nice format, and that's just fine and dandy if that's how you're trying to go about things. They put the name reactions in alphabetical order, give a generic reaction, a mechanism, and many examples of that kind of reaction.
Do not waste your money on this book!!!.......1999-05-20
This book simply lists the reactions from Jerry Marchs' book(which the authors reference constantly!) in a different order.
Book Description
This book unifies and extends latent variable models, including multilevel or generalized linear mixed models, longitudinal or panel models, item response or factor models, latent class or finite mixture models, and structural equation models. Following a gentle introduction to latent variable modeling, the authors clearly explain and contrast a wide range of estimation and prediction methods from biostatistics, psychometrics, econometrics, and statistics. They present exciting and realistic applications that demonstrate how researchers can use latent variable modeling to solve concrete problems in areas as diverse as medicine, economics, and psychology. The examples considered include many nonstandard response types, such as ordinal, nominal, count, and survival data. Joint modeling of mixed responses, such as survival and longitudinal data, is also illustrated. Numerous displays, figures, and graphs make the text vivid and easy to read. About the authors: Anders Skrondal is Professor and Chair in Social Statistics, Department of Statistics, London School of Economics, UK Sophia Rabe-Hesketh is a Professor of Educational Statistics at the Graduate School of Education and Graduate Group in Biostatistics, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Features · Unifies different modeling traditions, integrating and synthesizing models from the statistical, biostatistical, econometric, and psychometric literatures · Gives a thorough overview of estimation and prediction methods for latent variable models, providing a guide to the various techniques available · Applies to a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, biology, sociology, psychology, and economics · Contains many examples worked out in great detail · Provides software, datasets, and scripts for some of the applications discussed at www.gllamm.org/books

Unifying, but conceptually challenging.......2007-07-05
The authors have provided a wonderful resource that brings different statistical methods developed in parallel disciplines under one cover. It does, however, present challenging material and is not for the faint of heart. For statisticians or quantitative social/behavioral scientists, this book is an enlightening addition to one's library.
Comprehensive coverage.......2007-03-26
This book provides well-written, comprehensive coverage of latent variable modeling. Suitable for a masters level (or preferably, a Ph.D.) statistician. Not suitable for someone with a few intro stat courses. Presents multilevel, longitudinal and structural equation modeling and factor analysis using a unified framework, which is both a help (better insights, easier to extend conceptually) and a hindrance (complex when one first tries to understand it). Includes many examples, which makes it much easier to apply these techniques to real life data analysis problems. Practically an encyclopedia of statistical models.

24/7 Cocktail Time to Avert the Third World War.......2005-08-01
Wodehouse has created another set of hilarious, self-absorbed, but well-meaning, and typically British characters here. Who needs Jeeves and never mind those stupid pro-Nazi Wodehouse ramblings, this is the real thing. Every page has some serious laugh out loud stuff to it.
First Lord Ickenham initiates some serious soul-searching and literary output from a former class-mate, Beefy Bastable, by slyly knocking his hat off his head as he looks for a taxi. Then to make it even more fun, he encourages poor Beefy in this pursuit by assuring him that he is not capable of writing a novel. The over-worked barrister then pens a blockbuster about how the younger generation lacks discipline, vision, and morality. When bishops decry the racy bits from the pulpit, the novel becomes a success and Hollywoood comes calling for the movie rights.
Now Wodehouse really rolls up his sleeves. Ickenham intervenes in four on-again, off-again romances, putting them all right in the end. The paternity of Cocktail Time becomes a bit confused, as several claim the authorship (Bastable used a nom de plume as he did not want the outcry over the novel to affect his goal of standing for Parliament as a Conservative). Additional loopy characters such as Young Mr. Saxby and the elusive Flannery drop in.
Good light reading, take it to the beach and enjoy.
The Real Story behind the Story.......2004-11-05
Do you enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process? If so, Cocktail Time will soon become one of your favorite comic novels.
The book's premise is deliciously contrary -- if a friend says that you cannot write a novel, some people will feel bound to prove the friend wrong. The backdrop for that decision is uproariously bizarre. The friend, the fifth Earl of Ickenham, has been feeling his oats a bit too much at the Drones Club and decides to borrow a slingshot (catapult in the UK) to pop the top hat off his old friend, Sir Raymond (Beefy) Bastable, with a Brazil nut as Beefy left the neighboring Demosthenes Club. When Beefy tells Ickenham that he wants to find the miscreant who did the dastardly deed, Ickenham offhandedly comments that it's a pity that Beefy is not an author who could use the literary sword to put all such pranksters in their place. That sets the stage for Beefy's novel, Cocktail Time, which he writes under a nom de plume.
There's only one complication. Beefy wants to stand for Parliament and he has written a scandalous book that would ruin his political career.
As the book's sales begin to take off like a rocket ship, Beefy realizes he needs some cover. Ickenham suggests that Beefy find someone else to pretend to be the author. With that suggestion, an unimaginable series of events follows . . . each more humorous than the last.
Will Beefy keep his honor? Will someone else keep his royalty checks? Will love conquer all?
The plot is one of the most complex ones that I have ever read in a comic novel, and the ever-shifting action works well. You'll have great fun with Cocktail Time. I don't remember a P.G. Wodehouse book that I have enjoyed more than this one.
Have a cocktail.......2004-09-17
P.G. Wodehouse made a legendary name for himself by writing dozens of humorous novels. In "Cocktail Time," Wodehouse turns his considerable wit toward politicians, scandalous novels, and of course, the carefree twentysomethings of the British upper-class.
Lord Ickenham (also known as Uncle Fred) gets a little "loopy" when he comes to the city. So when he's at his nephew's favorite hangout, the Drones Club, he fires a brazil nut across the street at a stuffy relative of his, Beefy Bastable. Bastable is not exactly a nice person, and so to retaliate against the young idiot he thinks has attacked him, he writes a scathing, scandalous novel called "Cocktail Time," denouncing modern youth.
Written under a non de plume, "Cocktail Time" gets denounced from the pulpits and is a huge hit. Bastable is terrified that the book will derail his political career, so he enlists his nephew Cosmo to pretend to have written the book. Since the royalties will let Cosmo pay off his debts, he's more than happy to oblige. There are only two problems: An American con artist (known as Oily) is homing in on Cosmo, and so is Hollywood...
If somebody could write songs about brazil nuts and banned books, this would make a GREAT musical. It's lighthearted enough, goofy enough, and complex enough. Wodehouse is in fine form here, writing the lovable characters that fit into the molds we love so much -- stressed young men, disapproving uncles and stolid butlers.
Wodehouse's writing is still fresh and funny -- he has a few awkward moments, such as describing a couple dancing the "rock'n'roll." Okay, what does that mean? But whatever decade his novel is set in, it has that pre-WW II flair. Not to mention deceptive formality -- at first glance, it looks very dry, but it's actually very goofy. ("Yo ho. In fact, I will go further. Yo frightfully ho.")
Lord Ickenham is a fun character, very smooth and debonair with a distinctly loopy personality. The impoverished Cosmo and his deeply stressed uncle Beefy Bastable are good variations on Wodehouse's classic characters, and he adds a twist by having the butler fall in love with his employer's sister (an unexpectedly sweet touch).
"Cocktail Time" is a funny novel about a nasty novel, and the resulting hijinks are fun for anyone to read. It's bumps-a-daisy as billy-o.
A very entertaining book!.......2001-09-17
I highly recommend this book. It is very good and entertaining. It's very funny too. Any fan of P.G. Wodehouse's work will really enjoy it.
Delicious but not fattening.......2001-03-09
I see that my fellow reviewers of this tasty comic novel are willing to weigh in at only four of the possible five stars. I dissent vigorously and award the full five. Nothing less than five will do for a storyline so perfectly convoluted, language and syntax so recklessly heedless of anything real or centered. The characters are familiar Wodehouse types: quaintly erratic and utterly dependable for their supply of humor. Feydeau never plotted anything as neat and door-bangingly twisted, and the master Wodehouse provides page after page of crackpot ways to describe all of the door-slamming action.

What cocktails do you think people enjoyed in the Polish Middle Ages? You don't know, do you? Neither does anyone else. That's because no one bothered to write such things down. But if you had to write about American culture from, say, Prohibition to the current fin de siècle, you would be hard pressed to leave out the cocktail.
So hats off to Karen Brooks, Gideon Bosker, and Reed Darmon, who have taken it upon themselves to gather up the arcana while it is still fresh and available and save it between covers for this generation and many more to come. Design, recipes, and writing all stand out in this cocktail lovefest that courts kitsch while all but taking itself seriously. You'd certainly have trouble doing much better for a collection of cocktail recipes than those provided herein. The design gathers all that was hip and cool in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, by about which time the cocktail was fading in the face of wine on the one hand and party drugs on the other. This book is a nice sharp stick in the eye of the New Puritanism--as the authors point out, the mighty American industry that rose up in the 1950s was built on the three-martini lunch. We can, of course, only hope that decisions affecting a wider population--who's going to drive, for example, or where to dump that toxic waste--are no longer being made after three martinis, no matter what the time of day.
And speaking of martinis, while the authors make good with tasty drink recipes such as the Stardust Martini and the Cognac Zoom, sadly missing is the Cajun Martini made popular by chef Paul Prudhomme. Now that's a cocktail to tangle with. --Schuyler Ingle
Book Description
From a glittering Stardust Martini to a Cognac Zoom, Atomic Cocktails blasts into the ether with more than 50 Space Age cocktails. Tonic to tequila, mood music to maraschino cherries, this book's for everyone who isn't sure what goes into a Gimlet and thinks Angostura is a kind of sweater. It reveals the secrets that ardent swingers have spent years discovering, including the fundamentals of mixology and how to master all the classics. The repertoire includes cosmic concoctions, tropical exotica, summer coolers, hot shots, some real originals, and specials from the alcohol-free zone. The authors also add a guide to essential ingredients and tips on mixing a drink with a knowing flick of the wrist -- plus how to serve it in the perfect glass with the perfect garnish. Come on you birds and hot daddies, it's happy hour!

Let's go Retro..........2001-01-14
Remember when swing was king, '57 Chevies ate up the road, and I Love Lucy premiered on the tube?? Why just remember the 50's, when you can relive them? Reading Atomic Cocktails: Mixed Drinks for Modern Times, is like peeking through a looking glass into the Atomic age. With drinks like Neon Watermelon Margarita and Rocket Man surrounded by vintage ads and paraphernalia, you can't help but go retro. So cue up Old Blue Eyes, and turn up the night with this collection of classic cocktails.
An explosive concoction for your shelf.......2001-01-03
A fun and tasty look at the kitschy side of cocktails pleasantly put together and easy to look at. I bought this book and Hollywood Cocktails which looks at cocktails through the silver screen. Why have just one cocktail when you can have more?
Head For The Lounge.......2000-12-21
Atomic Cocktails is a great book if you are interested in mixing up some potent potables, but you can find a thousand other books that give you the same information. What separates this book from the pack is the retro-packaging. Done up in a kitschy, campy style, the book harkens back to the lounge lizard days of the 50's & 60's. The book honors the time when drinking a martini was the height of cool and does the fine art of mixing drinks proud.
Nifty retro look at the elixir of life........1999-03-10
This was a fun read. Quick too. I found some new drink recipes, and some nostalgia for a time I am too young to remember. If anything, the book was too short as I could have done with a few more drinks, and some more nostalgia. At least some Cole Porter or Noel Coward. Rick, Nora. Somebody. Still, it was fun while it lasted, and clearly understood and conveyed the romance, grace, and promise of a Martini.

Book Description
The first-ever biography of the man who created America's most famous whiskey
Born in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in 1850, Jack Daniel became a legendary moonshiner at age 15 before launching a legitimate distillery ten years later. By the time he died in 1911, he was an American legend-and his Old No. 7 Tennessee sipping whiskey was an international sensation, the winner of gold medals at the St. Louis World's Fair and the Liege International Exposition in Belgium. Blood and Whiskey captures Daniel's indomitable rise in the rough-edged world of the nineteenth-century whiskey trade-and shows how his commitment to quality (his whiskey was always charcoal-filtered) and his flair for marketing and packaging (he launched his distinctive square bottle in 189-5) helped create one of America's most venerable and recognizable brands.
Peter Krass (Hanover, NH) is the author of Carnegie (0-471-46883-5), cited by Barron's as the "definitive" biography and selected by Library Journal as one of the best biography/business books of 2002.
