Book Description
For over a decade, central and eastern Europe has been at the center of one of the most profound economic and political transformation in history. At the start of the 1990's, the region embarked on an ambitious reform program to depart from central planning towards more market-based economies. A decade later, and amid significant difficulties, the region has achieved remarkable accomplishments, with several countries becoming increasingly integrated into the global economy. Political structures have been transformed and new institutions have emerged. Indeed, the progress in structural reforms achieved in the region has been so substantial that several countries are now at the threshold of European Union membership. Aware of the significance of the successful integration of central and eastern Europe into the global economy, the World Economic Forum and Harvard University are proud to introduce The European Competitiveness and Transition Report, a thorough review of the transition process that has unfolded in the last decade. This comprehensive report presents new data and expert commentary on what the facts say about the enlargement of the European Union and the competitiveness and growth potential of both Europe and the candidate countries. It addresses the many important factors that will determine how these countries will fare in terms of economic growth over the next ten to twenty years. Written by independent experts, The European Competitiveness and Transition Report 2001-2002 is a truly unique data-driven guide that lays out the facts and reveals the real issues behind European enlargement.

Customer Reviews:
Too long, too vague.......2003-08-17
The author mainly tries to link work on primate behaviour and theories of social evolution with the occurance of un-social (psychopathologically induced) behaviour in non human primates and hominids. This is a brave attempt and deserves respect. The main strength of the book is its lage bibliography. However, the style is vague and topics dealt with very redundant. Cutting the book down to half or a quater of its size and focusing it would have done really good!
Book Description
Like its previous five editions, this book is ideally suited for use in a sophomore-level laboratory course in organic chemistry.

Book Description
Heart and Science, one of Wilkie Collins' later novels, is concerned with the debate over what he termed 'the hideous secrets of vivisection.' The tale of a family split by various opinions and sentiments, as well as the novel's clear parallels to the animal welfare/animal rights debates of today will strike chords of understanding with modern readers, who always relate well to the accessible conversational style of Collins' prose.
Appendices of contextual material include contemporary reviews, Carroll, Cobbe and others on the vivisection debate of the 1870s, Collins's letters, and R. Browning's anti-vivisectionist poems.
Customer Reviews:
A Great Read.......2000-05-10
Collins's book is very interesting--it's the story, by the inventor of the detective novel, of a tall, evil neurologist driven by the frantic pace of science to disect living, screaming animals in his search for a cure for brain disease. And the Broadview edition is excellent--it provides the primary texts of the vivisection debate of the 1870s and 80s, including Francis Power Cobbe's essay and documentation of the court case. Excellent scholarly work made available and accessible to beginners--I've used the novel in a course on Literature and Science with great success.
Steve Farmer presents a strong edition of Heart and Science.......1999-05-15
Heart and Science is a very interesting novel, both for it's historical connection to late-Victorian anti-vivisectionist movement and for Collins's interesting story. I won't say it is one of his strongest novels but it is quite readable and nicely intriguing.
Farmer's edition is quite strong.His notes and appendicies are thorough and extremely useful, as are the introduction, the select bibliography,and the other accompanying material, of which there is plenty.
Farmer vs. Collins.......1998-05-17
This book, one of Collins's late sensation novels, is decidely less well constructed than "The Woman in White" or "The Moonstone": you are very often able to tell what will happen next and even how the whole thing is probably going to finish.
The editor has done his best to increase the attractivity of the book by adding to it an exhaustive documentation. But what is really VERY annoying is that the editor, who according to his introduction pretends to give a philologically reliable text of the novel, obviously has dispensed himself of a serious proof-reading.
A great number of misprints have not been corrected -- in some instances, the sense of the text has been almost perverted (e.g. because quotation marks are missing so that you don't know that it is a person of the novel and NOT the narrator who is talking).
Things like these shouldn't occur in a text edited by a professor of philology.
