    Book Description

    This study maintains that China’s system of economic planning tends to mitigate the trade-off between economic growth and equity that has been found to prevail in the early stages of development in most less developed countries. The analysis focuses on the Chinese leadership’s attempt to improve economic efficiency by decentralizing economic management without encouraging, as a consequence, increased economic inequality among different regions. By examining the budgetary and planning process, focusing in particular on the fiscal relations between the centre and the far-reaching degree of resource redistribution undertaken by the central government through its control of interprovincial and intersectoral resource transfers. Professor Lardy’s analysis highlights the essential features of Chinese economic growth and relates these to the experience of both developing and Soviet-type economies.

      Book Description

      China has experienced over a quarter century of rapid economic growth, which has a phenomenal impact on the global economy. Entering into the 21st century implies that China has begun a new phase of economic and social development. Vast improvement in people's living standards, however, has been coupled with two critical problems: inequality and poverty. The key question is not that people should be pessimistic about China's future growth and prosperity, but that people should consider which direction that China will go. Is it going to become one of the most un-egalitarian countries like Brazil and Mexico, or one of the most dynamic and relatively egalitarian economies like South Korea and Taiwan. This book reviews the economic development history of contemporary China from 1949 up to today, paying special attention to the interface among growth, inequality and poverty reduction. A real China economic miracle should have two important features: high income growth and a fair distribution system so that povertycan be eradicated.

                        Book Description

                        Our need for security has not waned since the dawn of civilization - it has only increased and become more complicated. Protection, Security, and Safeguards: Practical Approaches and Perspectives draws on the security prowess of former secret service agents and other notable security professionals as the authors touch on nearly every facet of the industry. Written to satisfy the practical needs of anyone in the business of protection, the text covers areas such as personal protection, security in the workplace, residence security, healthcare security, aviation security, and many more. Special chapters detailing the experiences of an identity theft victim, as well as a woman who must employ 24-hour security to insure she doesn't harm others, cover security issues from the client's viewpoint. Other chapters on quick threat assessment and defensive tactics will help agents protect themselves and their clients. Although other publications discuss and analyze security, none focus on both the professional and personal perspectives of this critical industry. Editor Dale L. June shares his vast knowledge and lucid insight into the business of protection. A former U.S. Secret Service agent in the Presidential Protection Division, he also worked with the U.S. Customs Service as a terrorism intelligence specialist and was a former police officer. He has more than 30 years experience in various fields of protection and security, including owning and operating an executive protection and security consulting business. He teaches university courses as well as security-related topics at private vocational academies.

                            Book Description

                            Leading researchers concisely summarize their hands-on experiences and methods for successfully using the most popular sequence analysis software packages available. These experts demonstrate how to examine the data produced by modern automated sequencers, how to assess its quality, how to remove extraneous data, how to align multiple overlapping sequence fragments for either assembly into sequence contigs or comparison with similar sequences from different sources. Procedures for comparing newly derived sequences with the massive amounts of information in the sequence databases are fully covered, as are techniques for performing restriction analysis, searching for open reading frames, calculating the translation products of open reading frames, and making detailed analyses of the expressed "proteins."

                                4 out of 5 stars good reference book..........2007-05-23

                                more of a handbook with the important theorems and formulas.
                                the examples and excercise are well conceived.

                                5 out of 5 stars This book no longer need a review.......2007-01-12

                                This book no longer need a review. It is so popular among the academics and the students for its lucid way of treating complex variables I used this book as my reference for complex variables for the graduate mathematical methods course. This book helped me a lot with lots of examples and interesting exercise problems. It is also very good for students who wants to have a fast glance at the concepts. Overall, I would strongly recommend this book to any student who wants to learn complex variables in the most simple way with all kinds of examles to solve problems and score high grades.

                                5 out of 5 stars Great cheap text on complex variables for the mathematician.......2006-08-13

                                Complaints seem to abound in regard to how this Schaum's outline is too theoretical and has too few problems involving applications. You must remember that this particular outline was meant to complement an undergraduate mathematics course in complex variables, not an applied physics or engineering course using complex variables. Thus, the purpose of this book is to develop the calculus of functions of a complex variable.

                                This is one of those Schaum's outlines that has sufficient explanation, figures, and examples that it can double as a cheap textbook on the subject. However, remember that the emphasis is on theorems and proofs of theorems versus applications. However, there are some sections of the outline that are excellent at illustrating some applications of the subject matter. In particular, chapter 9, "Physical Applications of Conformal Mapping" contains applications from physics using those equations that are defined by a potential, including the electromagnetic field, the gravitational field, and, in fluid dynamics, potential flow, which is an approximation to fluid flow assuming constant density, zero viscosity, and irrotational flow. By choosing an appropriate mapping, the outline demonstrates clearly how one can transform the inconvenient geometry of one set of these equations into a much more convenient one. The equations are solved in this new "convenient" geometry, and then transformed back into the old one. One example of a fluid dynamic application of a conformal map that is detailed is the Joukowsky transform.

                                If you are not looking for a book to complement a mathematics course on complex variables and you are looking for something more applied, you might look at "Complex Variables: Introduction and Applications". That book has the first part dedicated to theory and the second part dedicated to applications at a reasonable price.

                                1 out of 5 stars too theoretical.......2005-02-27

                                I bought this thinking it would help me understand complex variables, complex integration and differentiation. As another customer commented there are wayyyy to few solved concrete problems, all of the solved problems are proving some theorem. This is useless. I can look those proofs up elsewhere. What I expected was concrete solved problems, there are very very few of those. All in all I am rather dissapointed with this book. Not recommended unless you are looking for many proofs of just theorems.

                                5 out of 5 stars Good mixture of examples and theory........2004-06-02

                                I like this book very much. First, you can go through solved examples or you can try to solve them yourself and compare your solution against the presented one. If you want to get deeper, there are theorems to be proved and again, proofs are shown or indicated, you will not be left alone. Then the book presents number of examples to be solved.

                                5 out of 5 stars Great Supplemental/Review Material.......2005-04-06

                                For as cheap as it is, this is a great value. It reviews every concept in physical chemistry very well. Obviously it won't replace your textbook, but it will at least cover subjects that maybe your textbook omits. The outline was last updated in 1989, but, honestly, physical chemistry has not changed in at least the last twenty or thirty years. Conceptually, all of physical chemistry has remained the same, so I would not say that this book is obsolete.

                                1 out of 5 stars No good, stick to your textbook!.......2005-01-21

                                The examples are from a different planet! The text is very general in the important concepts and too detailed in the obscure stuff; this is definintley not intended for someone new to PCHEM. Stick to you textbook, like Atkins, which probably has better explanations and problems.

                                3 out of 5 stars GOOD, BUT OBSOLETE CONTENTS.......2003-03-02

                                The over-five hundred pages that make-up this "Schaum's Outline of Physical Chemistry" were dedicated to giving overview of every aspect of the subject. The book's presentations and analyses are easy-to-follow; and would be appreciated by any Physical Science undergrad.
                                I valued its exploits in the fields of: Thermodynamics, Equilibrium Properties, Chemical Kinetics, and Intermolecular Forces. Its information are concise; yet, detailed enough. There are both tutorials and worked examples in every chapter: hence, making it a fine revision tool.
                                However, bear in mind that the contents of this book are more or less obsolete. The fact that it has not been revised since 1988 is discouraging. In view of this, I am reluctant to recommend it!

                                5 out of 5 stars Excellent supplement!.......2000-11-06

                                This book is a fabulous supplement to any physical chemistry text. It even includes reviews on quantum and solid state. I found this book especially helpful as i am a physics major taking p.chem with little chemistry background.

                                This is one of the books that I pull out once or twice a year to review the principles of physical science. If you are like me, it is irritating to contemplate losing all of that hard-won knowledge from high school and college science courses. I especially like this volume, since it includes earth science and astronomy along with the basic chemistry and physics.

                                Here are the contents by chapter: 1) Physical Quantities, 2) Motion in a Straight Line, 3) The Laws of Motion, 4) Circular Motion and Gravitation, 5) Energy, 6) Momentum, 7) Relativity, 8) Fluids, 9) Heat, 10) Kinetic Theory of Matter, 11) Thermodynamics, 12) Electricity, 13) Electric Current, 14) Magnetism, 15) Electromagnetic Induction, 16) Waves, 17) Quantum Physics, 18) The Nucleus, 19) Radioactivity and Elementary Particles, 20) Theory of the Atom, 21) The Periodic Law, 22) Chemical Bonding, 23) Formulas and Equations, 24) Stoichiometry, 25) Gas Stoichiometry, 26) Solutions, 27) Acids and Bases, 28) Oxidation and Reduction, 29) Electrochemistry, 30) Chemical Energy, 31) Reaction Rates and Equilibrium, 32) Organic Chemistry, 33) The Atmosphere, 34) Weather, 35) The Oceans, 36) Earth Materials, 37) Erosion and Sedimentation, 38) Vulcanism and Diastrophism, 39) The Earth's Interior, 40) Continental Drift, 41) Earth History, 42) Earth and Sky, 43) The Solar System, 44) The Sun, 45) The Stars, 46)The Universe.

                                Appendixes are included on Physical Constants and Quantities, Conversion Factors, and the Periodic Table.

                                There are plenty of worked examples, as well as, supplemental problems and answers. You do not need calculus.

                                Outstanding text with long history that has been updated and given a fresh look and now includes an Essential Study Partner CD-ROM and strong Internet support through it's own website and accompanying PowerWeb. Aimed at presenting the essentials of physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy in a clear, easy-to-understand way, The Physical Universe shows students how science works, how scientists approach problems, and why science constantly evolves in its search for understanding.

                                4 out of 5 stars Creationism vs. evolution.......2007-06-05

                                If you believe in creationism then read this book with caution. This book tries to brainwash you into thinking that evolution is based on solid foundation and creationism is quack. Buyer beware. I would not buy this book for someone under 18 years of age.

                                4 out of 5 stars Very Easy Book To Read.......2006-02-25

                                This book is self explanatory and easy to read. I use this book for my SC 102 class. I'm a senior non-science major and it is really a good book.

                                5 out of 5 stars Very good book and CD.......2005-09-24

                                The book is very good and the merchant was excellent in service and delivery.

                                3 out of 5 stars Nice edition, but it is really necessary?.......2004-04-16

                                For over thirty years, McGraw has been putting out various editions of this highly successful textbook. Now in its tenth iteration, McGraw has made an important extension. It added a CD (which was long overdue). Plus, the book gives access to an online resource called PowerWeb. Pretty snazzy! You can access whole bunches of material there which is simply not in the book.

                                Hopefully, this may help motivate some students to learn more effectively. But a disquieting counterargument has arisen in some quarters. Is a new edition really needed? Perhaps an earlier edition would suffice for most students. If so, this would let several buy second hand versions far more cheaply. But if the publisher goes to this edition, and it is made mandatory by a school, then it is far harder for students to find used versions. At least for a few years. And later? When those used editions start circulating, what if the publisher and school then go to a newer edition?

                                4 out of 5 stars From the Viewpoint of a Freshman High School Student........1998-11-30

                                This title is a comprehensive look at many aspects of science. Its Study guide is very helpful in preparing for examinations. The book, however, has a complicated way of explaining material. This slight defect may be reduced with the help of the useful appendixes, and study guides.

                                      Regarded as the greatest of that very Irish genre, the Big House novel, The Big House of Inver tells how a wastrel planter family dwindles from riches into squalor.

                                      4 out of 5 stars A good story.......2007-08-28

                                      It takes a little keeping up with at the start. Nearly three-fourths of a dynasty is followed in the first part of the book and then the latter half is the main story, covering only a couple of months. The progression of time is fairly well done. The characters really do come to life, each with a quirk or five. The interactions between them practically require diagrams. Lots of horses jumping and talk about fishing. More than anything, though, it is the syntax and style that really captures the uniquely Irish mood and impishness. Many of the descriptions force me to suppress laughter, but I read on anxiously, enjoying the momentum of the ride. I recently read that to mimic dialect, one should focus on the sentence structure and word choice, and not to purposefully misspell words. These authors are great at this. The better-known Irish R.M. stories use this to great effect. However, this novel was written after Martin's death. Those little misspelled words creep in a way that didn't happen in the R.M. While I do not doubt their partnership endured despite being in separate worlds, there is certainly a difference in the writing, albeit slight. The relationship between those in the house and those in the tower is interesting, as well. Overall, it is a very good story.
