Freud's interpretation of the ancient legend of Oedipus -- as formulated in Sophocles' tragic drama -- is among the most widely known concepts of psychoanalysis. Euripides' Ion, however, presents a more complex version of the development of personal identity. Here, the discovery of family origins is a process in which parent and child both take part as distinct agents driven by their own impulses of violence and desire.
Euripides, Freud, and the Romance of Belonging studies the construction of identity and the origins of the primal trauma in two texts, the Ion and Freud's case history of the Wolf Man. Victoria Pedrick challenges the conventional psychoanalytic theory of the development of the individual within the family, presenting instead a richer and more complex economy of exchange between the parent and the child. She provides a new perspective on Freud's appropriation of ancient texts and moves beyond the familiar reunion in Oedipus to the more nuanced scene of abandonment present in Ion. Her parallel investigation of these texts suggests that contemporary culture remains preoccupied by the problems of the past in the determination of identity.
Pedrick's fresh perspectives on both texts as well as on their relationship to each other shed new light on two foundational moments in the intellectual development of the West: Greek tragedy and Freudian psychoanalysis.
Covers Access 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003
Microsoft Access is the most popular desktop database in the world today and its very popularity means that its security measures can be easily compromised. Real World Microsoft Access Database Protection and Security takes a different approach than all the other Access books in the market by focusing from the start on all the issues that will help protect your database. It approaches protection and security from a task-by-task perspective and provides details that when put together will make your database more secure.
This book will help you to keep your staff from looking at your salary tables, stop your customers from looking at the design of your software that you distribute, and help you decide which security options are worth doing and which are generally a waste of your time.p>
Garry writes from a very experienced developer's point of view and he discusses in detail how to program all types of security issues including hiding tables as system tables, producing databases that password cracker software cannot easily crack, backing-up databases, menus, queries, and even user surveillance.
Real World Microsoft Access Database Protection and Security has an IT manager's overview on all topics so that managers can assess the risk of different strategies. Where the topics are at an administrator's level, the book provides a visual step-by-step guide to implementing and undoing the settings.
One Amazon.com reader says...
"This book is exactly what it proports to be. It covers all the Access versions being used in the development world - 97 to 2003. It does not spend half to 2/3 of the book on basic Access tables, querries, reports or vb code that developers already know, but from the first page to the last covers security and protection. A must have for any Access developer or power user."

Excellent Resource.......2007-02-28
Gary Robinson is a master at Access security and this book proves it! This is one of the books that stays on the shelf close to me when I am developing. It has great resources for setting up different types of security and he provides forms and code to help you develop security based on your needs. I highly recommend this for developers, especially those who are just designing more complex databases and need a good background on security. He is such a great resource that I subscribe to his newsletter now! I can only hope that he writes another book soon! A+
Real Security for Access.......2007-01-04
All of the other reviews pretty much say it all, but I wanted to place a more recent review in the list. Although I have just started using some of the basics Gary clearly discusses, I am anxious to get to the rest. Being able to secure Access has always been in the back of my mind. Now I know I can tackle the issue and get it done in a consistent manner that I can carry into all my Access projects. Thanks for the good work Garry.
MS Access Database Workgroup Security........2006-05-10
A good book will find the reader. I would like to thank Mr. Robinson for a well written read. Besides all the other things I have in my life to do I was able to finish his work in about two weeks. I have read all the other reviews; there is nothing I can add. I can however tell you that if you are into Access database (and you know if you are) then this book is an imperative. I have had many books on Access database pass my way, nothing compares with Mr. Robinsons' book on security and protection.
Mr. Robinsons' is the first technical book on Access I have ever read from cover to cover with a never ending want to turn the page to see what Mr. Robinson was going to teach me next. I'm going to begin a reread of his work and this time I'm going to use the examples with both Northwind and my own database to incorporate his methods; especially enjoying combining the OS and workgroup security to provide my data a secure base from my clients, friends and enemies.
His book provided me ample margin to take copious notes along with my read, it will prove helpful in preparing for deployment. Mr. Robinson is a professional database administrator and this book is written as from such, you will think like he does at the end of this read and be the better for it. Mr. Robinson is a wonderful dbase admin, author, and now teacher. Again many thanks for his efforts and a heartfelt appreciation for my newly gained knowledge. Should Mr. Robinson ever have a worldwide tour on the subject, sign me up.
All of the reviews are positive, I suggest a review of Mr. Robinsons' Table of Contents and more important, the wonderful Index. A review of these documents will give you better insight into the level of Access database security Mr. Robinson clearly and distinctly explains. Mr. Robinson has the world's attention on this security subject and rightfully deserves it.

Excellent Resource for MS Access Security.......2005-12-21
This has got to be the best MS Access resource book that I have purchased. Like others, I have found MS Access security hard to understand but with Gary Robinson's help I am now getting a grasp on how I can keep sensitive data secure. The book is aimed at those who are new to security as well as those with experience. Also, the downloable database, with forms and code that you can easily use in your own applications, is a real time saver.
I especially like how he has broken down the overview for each chapter with segments aimed at Developers, DBA's and the IT Managers. In these overviews he explains what in the chapter is important to the reader by their role. The book is arranged so you can easily locate the information you need and not have to go through the whole book to be able to accomplish your security goal. But I recommend that you do read the entire book as it has so much to offer! I am on my second read through.
Definitely the best book for MS Access Security.......2005-10-28
This is the perfect book for MS Access Security since it caters to all levels of users and is extremely easy to follow.
In addition, the author is extremely responsive to any items needing additional clarification. In fact, I actually e-mailed Gary a question and he responded back to me with a solution within the same day.
This book is a must buy for customers interested in MS Access Security.

Book Description
There are now many introductory courses in aquaculture given at colleges and universities, but there is a lack of appropriate general textbooks for such courses. This book aims to fill this gap by providing a broad and readable overview of the subject. The focus is on aquatic animal
production, mainly of finfish and shellfish, but aquatic plants are also mentioned. Both fresh and salt water, and warm and cool water production are covered. The author concentrates on presenting principles, rather than providing detail on how to produce particular organisms, such as shrimp or
salmon. He describes all aspects of the subject, from business planning, through site and water systems selection, to management of the system once it is in operation. The interests of both developed and developing countries are covered, as is the current debate about the environmental impact of
aquaculture.

Good introductory text for general aquaculture course.......2006-03-05
Aquaculture is a business heavily dependent upon life sciences and engineering. This books provides a good overview that I found useful in my teaching. Rather than focussing on specifics using case studies as many other boods do, it tries, with decent success, to focus on broader concepts that apply to a variety of species whether plant, invert or vertebrate, fresh water, brackish or marine, and whether grown in closed or open systems. I found it useful for a broad introductory course.
Book Description
"A book that first captures the heart and then goes on to snare the mind. The lessons go down easy, but they refuse to go away....If there is an unclimbed Mount Everest in your life, I highly recommend this book. It will first help you decide if you're on the right mountain; and then it will guide you to the top." —H. John Greeniaus, Former President & CEO, Nabisco, Inc.
Looking for a job?
Changing careers?
Returning to the workforce?
Trying to find balance?
Rethinking your lifestyle?
Searching for fulfillment?
When you come to an important crossroads in life-particularly when it is forced upon you by an unexpected or unhappy event-it is human nature to ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
That is not the right question to ask. As a matter of fact, such brooding and negative thinking will take you entirely in the wrong direction, away from where you really want to go.
The better question to ask-the question that opens doors, creates opportunities and helps take you where you want to go-is: "Where Have I Gone Right?"
In Where Have I Gone Right? The Right Mountain Guide to Getting the Job and Life You Want, Jim Hayhurst offers his simple, unique approach to making key decisions and living a more satisfying life. His engaging, conversational writing, compelling metaphors and anecdotes from his years as a career counselor and business leader make this simple and practical guidebook the new standard for managing your career — and your life.

Getting It Right the First Time!.......2004-03-25
I read Where Have I Gone Right? this weekend. It is simple, direct, positive and easy to read. Frankly, after
spending time working through Bolles's What Colour is Your Parachute?, I wish I had met this book first. Where Have I Gone Right? asks the essential question and demands the critical work be done first - determining who am I? Without actually having done the "gone right" process (I intend to do so)this work gets to point more effectively and adds important dimensions and communication strategies such as reference points and personal allegories -that separate and enhance what Bolles and others have done for job and life seekers. In a very few hours this book gave me the understanding and the positive tools to get accomplishments, skills, values, relationships into synch-- and to help tell my story in a more distinctive and powerful way.
If word of mouth can be a tipping point for a new career and
life change manual-- Where Have I Gone Right? has my word and I will spread it to anyone who needs or wants to hear.
Breath of fresh air.......2004-03-09
I picked up this book in the midst of my career search, and I am very glad I did. After completing the book, which was an easy read but contained meaningful lessons, I realized I needed to first take stock of myself. The book, "Where Have I Gone Right?" is a must read for anyone who is frustrated, confused, or on the edge of insanity during their job search. It is not an easy process, but with the help of this book you will start applying to the jobs that you are interested and passionate about. I highly reccomend this book at any point in a persons life, the lessons drawn out of its excercises are relevant to anybody, at any point in their lives
Where Have I Gone Right?.......2004-02-17
After reading Jim Hayhurst Sr.'s first book, "The Right Mountain," I was eager to read his second book, "Where Have I Gone Right?"
This latest book is an insightful, and well thought out book. It is an easy read, and yet delivers strong, and important messages along the way. It has a structure that allows one to first learn about themselves, and then apply this new understanding to any aspect of ones life.
A great read for anyone.
A great concise guidebook.......2004-02-09
Unlike some of the giant career books on the market today, Hayhurst keeps this guidebook concise. For this reason, I think that job seekers might actually use the whole thing. The book's introductory section is designed to give readers confidence in the methods espoused by the book - and a commitment to putting its lessons to use. This is followed by the core of the book which is divided into two equal parts: "Who Am I?" (self-assessment) and "Getting the Job and Life You Want" (the job search).
For many career seekers and career changers, the job search section has plenty of information to get them on their way. Its brevity is a real asset - especially considering the fact that there is not a lot new to be said about preparing resumes, information interviewing, and so on. The real focus of this book (and Hayhurst's counselling) is on self-assessment. By giving the self-assessment section equal billing to the rest of the job search, rather than making it one of four or five components of the job search, he raises its importance in the readers' mind appropriately.
If readers really invest themselves in this "Who Am I?" section of the book, they will come away with not only a much better understanding of themselves, but also a much greater ability to describe and market themselves. By taking readers on an exploration of their accomplishments, Hayhurst sets the foundation for discovering their skills, interests, and - most importantly - their core values. His focus on core values is critical to the whole process.
A great defining aspect of this program is that the self-assessment process is only complete when it results in the development of a "reference point" and, ideally, a "personal allegory". In a nutshell, a reference point is a "core accomplishment" with the most personally defining elements. As the name implies, this reference point can act as a litmus test against which readers can evaluate new opportunities. A "personal allegory" is a tool that helps evoke a vivid image that not only helps describe an individual, but also makes them more memorable within their network of contacts - and of course with interviewers.
Like any good book in this field, it will be made only better by the support of a counsellor. However, this really is a workbook and a great, concise, and refreshing one at that.
