Book Returned.......2007-09-11

I found this book to be so basic and useless that I returned it immediately. I found nothing new or valuable in it whatsoever. I would never recommend this book to someone with any knowledge of finance or the oil and gas industry.

Book Description

The Management of Technological Innovation (MTI) is one of the most important challenges facing contemporary businesses. With technological innovation becoming the fundamental driver of competitiveness for firms in a variety of business sectors, it is essential that the tools and techniques, and the strategies of MTI are well understood. This book analyses the management of technological innovation by focusing both on the specific and general tasks that managers need to perform. It examines the specific issues of managing RandD, new product development, and operations and production management. It also considers the general issues of managing the complexity and systemic nature of technology, and the knowledge and learning needed in innovative firms. It argues that detailed attention needs to be paid to the broad contextual changes occurring in industry, management, and the innovation process, and to the continuing and profound changes brought about by globalization. Mark Dodgson uses a variety of forms of analysis ranging from simple tools and techniques to theoretical models. Throughout the book a number of case studies are used to illustrate key themes, and a series of 'brief notes' are used to analyse particular issues. This very contemporary text will be an important resource for academics, students, and managers throughout the world.

Book Description

A provocative essay, tackling the issue of the failure of agriculture, coupled with the reluctance of Parliament or landowners to address the problems. After looking at Parliamentary Committee evidence, Murray attacks both landlords and tenants, before proposing a variety of remedies. The theory is blended with practical examples and solutions, and consistently compares and contrasts the Scottish and English experience.

Book Description

This is the long-awaited introduction to photosynthesis, with the emphasis on the molecular level.Photosynthesis has long been a paradigm for interdisciplinary science, where physicists, chemists and biologists pool their expertise to understand one of the most important and complex natural processes on Earth. This interdisciplinary aspect is emphasized in the book, and selected topics of chemistry, physics, biology and even geology are included.

an excellent overview of photosynthesis.......2005-09-18

as a graduate student with a background in physical chemistry and now working in biophysical chemistry, i found this book to be an excellent overview of photosynthesis. blankenship clearly outlines broad topics to be covered in the first chapter then delves into well-organized detail in subsequent chapters. this book was recommended as a reference by my advisor, but i found it so well written that i read nearly the entire book and bought a copy for my own. i'd recommend this book to anyone intersted in photosynthestic mechanisms at the molecular level (including light harvesting, water oxidation, protein structures, and carbon fixation).

Book Description

The Molecular Biology of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria in Chlamydomonas provides a comprehensive coverage of chloroplast and mitochondrial biogenesis and function. The book presents the current status of research on the molecular genetics of chloroplast gene expression. It describes the intricate cooperative interplay between the chloroplast and nuclear compartments which underlies the assembly of the photosynthetic apparatus. It also shows the power of chloroplast reverse genetics which has been used with considerable success to investigate structure-function relationships in several photosynthetic complexes. The book highlights the features of Chlamydomonas and the technological advances which make the alga uniquely suited to a multidisciplinary approach to study photosynthesis and its regulation under various environmental and stress conditions. The book is intended for a wide audience, but is specifically designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, biophysics, plant biology, phycology and biotechnology.

the new testament of green yeast.......2001-01-31

This book covers not only the state of the art in using Chlamydomonas to study chloroplasts and mitochondria, it has useful chapters on general chlamydomonas techniques such as transformation. Definately a useful book for any lab using Chlamydomonas. It is probably too expensive for most individuals, which is why I only give it four stars.
