"A SHOWCASE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST FANTASTIC ART".......2000-04-26
A great book for sci-fi and fantasy art fans everywhere.
The Franks have probably collected the biggest aray of sci-fi and fantasy art by an individual couple.
This book goes through room by room and describes the different pieces of artwork of "THE COLLECTION" that the Franks have collected throughout the years. Including ancedotes of some of the pieces that they have aquired. Some are the original paintings of book covers, others are commissioned paintings that they have had done. By well known and unknown artists alike.
The Franks are big supporters in the art field and are constantly standing up for artists and their rights. Helping donate money and time for art organizations that are in desperate need. To even helping out that artist to create his inspired idea that they may have been unable to do by helping to finance the project.
If you ever wanted a book with a very diverse and representative of many influential artists of the genre this book is it. And then realize that it collected all by one couple...AMAZING!

Examines Mozart's underlying genius.......2001-05-18
Mozart's musical genius was affected by his bizarre personality, and most biographers have commented on the difference between his genius and his psyche. In Medical And Musical Byways Of Mozartiana, Dr. Simkin examines Mozart's underlying genius and the personality which may have prevented him from securing a coveted patronage. His life, letters and music are examined in the process of considering his psychological health in this unusual assessment.

The 36-page introduction explains and illustrates all the strategies you'll ever need to solve even the most fiendishly difficult puzzles.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing.......2007-06-03
At least two puzzles (128 and 129) have ambiguous solutions, meaning that you waste time trying to find "the" solution only to discover that there isn't "one". Pretty basic flaw for a sudoku puzzle book, since these can be easily checked for this problem. In fact, what else is there to publishing these things besides making sure they have unique solutions? Also, the hardest level (4) is easier than it should be.
Very Nice but too Weird.......2007-05-13
I bought this book because I much prefer human-made sudoku to the computer generated variety.
There are two problems with the book from my standpoint.
First, the puzzles are too easy for me. (If you are a relative beginner, I recommend them.)
Second, I found the rectangular (not square) shape difficult to work with. An eye used to square sudoku just has difficulty with scanning the grid.
Still, for someone who is trying to get into sudoku for the first time, this can be a very helpful book.
Basically Good other than a design flaw.......2007-02-07
Typical, good sudoku book. My only complaint is in its design... it makes the boxes more of a wide rectangle, which in itself is nice as it gives you more room to write numbers, but the printer has placed the edge of each puzzle SO close to the center crease of the book that you have to perpetually force the binding apart to comfortably see the far right (or far left depending on which page you are on) column. Personally, this strikes me as idiotic, and a "feature" I was rather disappointed with when I got it. Good puzzles, poor design, I would not buy it again; there are enough options out there that satisfy all needs.
novice impressed.......2006-03-16
Masha Zager's new puzzle book was recommended to me by a Sudoku guru. I have never tried these puzzles but after seeing everybody on the train toiling away, I thought okay, I'll try. I'm thrilled with this book. The introduction was so informative and clear. Not just "how to" but "how come" and now a new hobby for me and hopefully a few more brain cells will stick a round a little longer than they otherwise might have. Hats off to this author for such an incisive and challenging string of puzzles. Where is volume II?
Fun and Challenging.......2006-03-14
This is pretty much all I could ask for in a Sudoku book -- strategy advice; decent learning curve, starting with easy puzzles and ending with some serious head-scratchers; plus a bunch of non-numeric puzzles with symbols instead of numbers. This + iPod = the perfect antidote for commuting doldrums, waiting rooms, insomnia, etc. Highly entertaining, and never repetitive.

Customer Reviews:
This is probably the first book anyone even peripherally involved in trading should read.......2007-04-04
I'm not a trader. I do occasionally look longingly at high frequency trading positions (stat arb, automated trading; whatever you'd like to call it). This is the book that actually answers all those questions any curious person who has ever made a trade might ask. What happens when you make a trade? What is the mechanics of making a trade? How does liquidity work? What happens if your trade is bigger than the daily volume of the traded equity? How does index arb work? What do flow traders do to make money? What are the different exchanges, and what are their rules? How does GAAP play out in exchanges? What are NASDAQ's idiosyncrasies? Why don't they have an automated auction model out there (they do)? How do traders scalp you when you want to dump a block on the street? Is this legal? This book answers all, and far more.
I don't know how people used to learn this stuff; presumably either by word of mouth, or by losing millions of their employers dollars. I also don't know what motivated Mr. Harris to spill all this wonderful information, but I am very grateful that he did. I almost feel like I should trash talk the book to prevent people from reading it (yeah, some of the information actually is outdated -pffff, like it matters), but enough know of it already I wouldn't gain much edge.
The person who recommended this book to me is generally mentioned in the same breath as the name "Jim Simons," so I have to assume it is as accurate as anything on the market out there. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Anyone interested in markets should read this from cover to cover.
Good introduction to market microstructure.......2007-02-14
My professor is the author of this book, which is extreamely horrible because no student would wish their professor knows every single word in the book. However, this book give a pretty detail introduction to the market structure and all things you need to know about trading. The language in the book are quite easy to understand even thought some terms are very technical. According to my professor, the contents on the side are useful when combining the reading, which will give you a whole picture of what will be the issue when come to real life doing the trading. It's a great book. However, if you are planning to buy this one, you may want to wait for a little bit becuase my professor is on the way to the second edition. I believe that must have more updated information. Good luck! ^_^
Required reading for anyone getting into trading and investing.......2006-07-22
I've used this book as a textbook and I have to admit it's invaluable in that it explains in a detailed yet rather straightforward way what happens when you send an order to the marketplace and how it is worked by market participants. In the light of recent developments in academic and professional literature, showing how good execution is an essential part of an outstanding money-management performance, I strongly recommend it to all beginners ready to step in the arena or practicioners who aren't fully aware of these matters.
Not really that good, already outdated.......2006-07-01
This book is not really that good. It's printed in tiny fonts and filled with sidebar BS so it's hard to read and keep track of what you read. The author rambles a lot and there's very little concrete information even though a lot of topics are covered in a cursory manner. Worst, this book is already way outdated, as ECNs and ATS's as well as industry consolidations plus the Grasso fiasco have changed industry landscape (and enriched many a capital pig who does not produce real products but reaps billions for stealing other people's money). Ok, I'm a financial analyst so i don't contribute anything to this society either, but I'm no capitalist pig, just a lowly employee.
Excellent!.......2006-05-17
"Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners" is in a class all by itself. Dr. Harris, formerly associated with the SEC and now in academia, has not written a dry textbook but a handbook which answers the question "Why do people trade?" If you are a speculator in any type of financial market, have you ever thought about the other side of the trade, or where your profit is expected to come from? Harris examines the roles of traders, hedgers, regulatory bodies, and other market participants to answer such questions. There is no other book out there like this one!
Book Description
A major new biography of the most gifted, ruthless, and powerful leader in modern Irish history
Few people in history have been as mythologized as Michael Collins. Before his death at the age of thirtyone, Collins fought in the Easter Rising, organized the I.R.A., outspied British intelligence, negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and ran the first independent government of Ireland. To this day, millions revere him as the father of modern Ireland. Yet Collins was first and foremost a man who sought power and exercised it ruthlessly. More politician than soldier, he surrounded himself with followers loyal only to him. And his death left behind a troubled legacy: an I.R.A. he could not control, a Northern Ireland problem he did not solve, and a civil war he could not prevent.
In Mick, acclaimed historian Peter Hart explores Collins's life and asks what made him such an extraordinary and complex person. Drawing on previously unknown sources, Mick is the first biography to investigate Collins's life before he became a revolutionary and the first to take a critical look at his rise to power and its consequences. A fascinating portrayal of one of the most remarkable men of the twentieth century, Mick will be eagerly embraced by readers of Irish history and anyone interested in the lives of great leaders.
Customer Reviews:
Michael Collins from the other side.......2007-10-10
I finally finished Mick: The Real Michael Collins by Peter Hart which I began almost exactly one year ago. My attraction to this book was my obvious admiration of Collins and the opportunity to read a new biography (there have been many before). Although I was excited, I was also wary because this book was supposed to take a not-very-flattering look at Collins' life. I found this to be true as Hart attempted to look through the praise and hero-worship that has accompanied Collins since his untimely death in 1922. Hart in several places goes too far, interjecting spite and taking the opposite position just to stir things up.
I can say one good thing about the effect the book has had on me, though: if I had not been reading this book, I would never have chosen the topic I did for my final university history paper and broken new ground in the canon of Collins literature. Overall I found it to be very informative and an exciting read (this is probably due to the fact that this is the first Collins biography that I have read cover to cover and there were many things that I learned for the first time). Despite all of Hart's best efforts, I still find myself a devotee of Michael Collins, maybe even more than before, and for that reason I would recommend this book to anyone interested.
Revisonist rubbish..............2007-08-31
This account portrays Collins as cold, calculating, incompetent and a sly opportunist...without any real skills or leadership. Every aspect of his life is presented as a lie, this is revisionist histroy on the level of David Irving...
Misleading and biased.......2007-08-27
Only read this book after reading several other on Collins and his role in the War of Independence. I feel that this author glosses over important aspects that show Collins genious and determination. Whatever his motivation for doing so may be, this biography is highly flawed in my opinion. Yes, some authors who write about the Big Fellow seem to get caught up in hero worship, but this author goes somewhat too much in the opposite direction.
Hart seperates the man from the myths.......2007-04-11
There are few people in modern Irish history who loom larger than Michael Collins, "The Big Fellow" who more than any other individual is credited with winning independence for Ireland. In a matter of a few short years he emerged from the ranks of the Republican movement to become one of the key figures in the struggle against British rule. His early death as a result of an ambush in the subsequent civil war gave him the aura of a lost leader, laden with the possibilities of what might have been. In this book, Peter Hart seeks to penetrate beneath the many legends surrounding Collins in order to get at the truth behind this famous figure.
Faced with the stories and misconceptions about Collins's life (many of which were of his own making), Hart bases his narrative on the extensive documentary evidence about his subject's life. The Collins that emerges is not a great guerrilla figure but a master bureaucrat, one whose organizational abilities and work ethic were both the keys to his rise and his great contribution to victory. These skills were the product of his years in London, where he worked as a postal clerk and spent his free time in various Irish social organizations. His subsequent rise through the ranks of the Irish revolutionary leadership was aided by the loss of the top leadership in the aftermath of the Dublin rising in 1916. The loss of most of the senior leadership created opportunities that Collins exploited to the fullest, gaining positions of authority in which his managerial talent ensured a flow of money, supplies, and (most critically) intelligence to the members of the IRA in the field.
Hart's achievement in uncovering the real Michael Collins from the layers of myth that built up over the years is impressive, providing a truer assessment of his role in Irish independence than any previous biography. His detective work on Collins's time in London is especially exemplary here, illuminating a part of his subject's life often overshadowed by his subsequent achievements. People seeking the Collins of legend would be better off watching Neil Jordan's hagiographic depiction, but for those wanting to discover the true Michael Collins, this is the book to read.
Review of Peter Harts's Mick: The Real Michael Collins.......2007-01-10
Why do we need another biography of Michael Collins to add to the 13 we already have? Author Peter Hart answers by explaining that he has drawn upon materials and documents which earlier biographers have overlooked, but which are available to the public. The result is a more balanced portrait of the man that the Irish have voted the most significant Irishman of the 20th century. MICK is therefore chock full of passages from letters to and from Collins and observations by those who knew and met him--some quite variant, and a plethora of data. The book--which covers the life span from Collins' boyhood to his death--is not so sensational as Frank O'Connor's biography and not so action-packed as Tim Pat Coogan's.
Hart's thesis is that we would not be able to guess, from Collins' youth and from his early life in London, that he would become a leader in the Irish revolution, or in fact a leader at all. As a boy he showed little promise. Later as an emigre in London, he immersed himself in multiple Irish asociations, and was able to advance because he positioned himself in the right place at the right time, namely when other young men were leaving to fight in World War I. Collins held a series of clerical jobs in London, the last of which was as a functionary in a banking house, but showed little aptitude for numbers beyond arithmetic.
Collins, then with a sense of mission, carried over this strategy to Dublin when the revolutionary movement began. Again he took offices in multiple Irish acivist groups: the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Republican Army. In most cases he served as treasurer or as dispenser of funds. During this time he was not making policy but binding himself to friends and creating loyalties. He gained a reputation as being punctual, wholly reliable, and clearly above reproach in the spending of moneys. Hart charts Collins' rise in the independence movement through the Easter Rebellion, though the Dublin guerilla war that followed, to Minister of Finance for the new Irish government and ultimately to Commandant of the Irish Free State Army.
The author exonerates de Valera from the charge of betrayal when he sent Collins over to London to negotiate the Treay with British ministers Lloyd George and Winston Churchill. He narrates closely Collins' sojourn in London during the Treaty talks, and makes clear that Collins voted for partition of Ireland only because he believed the English were ready to send over their armies and conduct a blood bath. Later, during the ensuing Irish Civil War, Collins found himself on the opposite side from de Valera, but Hart defends de Valera from the accusation that he engineered Collins' death at Beal na Blath.
This biography plays down Collins' penchant for horseplay and heavy drinking, and plays up his attention to detail, his indefatigability, his long work days. It plays down his success in conducting a campaign of assassination in Dublin, and stresses his generosiy to his countrymen, his loyalties to his comrades, and his aid to imprisoned Irish. For its consistently careful and substantial research, MICK is a must for anyone building an Irish library.
Michael Collins managed to compress a lifetime into his scant 32 years. Hart takes the full measure of the man when he writes, "In the time allotted to him, he became the most ruthless, the most powerful, the most calculating and most successful politician in modern Irish history, and his triple legacy of independence, partition and the IRA have challenged his legatees ever since."

Parasitology can be fun.......2001-07-30
Parasitology is by a lot of scientists and doctors in the western world considered to be an outpost, an area where you are going to work if you are not too serious about your career. Moreover, all those parasites have completely outlandish names which you could mostly not remember, even if your life depended on it.
Apart from the fact that parasites are really important pathogens in developing countries, they are also coming more and more to the western world as well, with increased travel and worldwide business, so a good reason to know more about them.
The stories in the books from Mr. Desowitz show that parasites are not only an interesting study objects, but that you can write very funny stories about them as well. This is probably one of the best books to get people interested in parasites, namely wrting stories which you can remember (and tell people on birthday parties) even when you are not an accomplished parasitologist.
Anecdotal Discussion of Parasitology.......1998-07-30
This is a quick read understandable to anyone who has taken college biology. Desowitz's presentation is primarily anecdotal this makes for quick reading, but also whets the appetite for more information. I recommend "Yellow Fever, Black Goddess : The Coevolution of People and Plagues" by Chrisopher Wills for a more in-depth and contemporary discussion of mosquito-borne parasites and the evolution of disease.
excellent. highly readable, required reading for pre-meds!.......1996-10-30
Highly readable! An engaging look into the secret world of parasites and our changing world. This will amaze and startle those who fell asleep in biology class
