Great general resource.......2000-12-03

Despite the inherently difficult task of "cold-canvassing" VCs, this book helps to target potential investors based on prior investment criteria and average investment amount. I'm still waiting for "The Gold Book on Angel Investors and Clubs", which would actually be worth its weight in gold!

An incredible resource!.......2000-02-10

Not only is it the most comprehensive directory of venture capital firms I have been able to find, but it is also well organized with a valuable introduction. Thumbs up.

Comprehensive, well organized.......1999-09-29

If the content (i.e. names, addresses, etc) prove to be accurate, I would highly recommend this book as a source of contact information for VC's through out the country.

The One and Only Law Book from the Early Empire.......2005-12-10

Not being a lawyer, but merely a sometime student of early Roman law, I may not be the most qualified critic to review this book. But it is a remarkable enough book that I couldn't let it go without a positive comment.

Composed sometime in the Mid 2nd Century AD, the Institutes is one of the most important books in Roman literature. Its unpopularity and scarcity today is no indication of its worth to the specialist and general reader alike. I won't go so far as to say it is a "delight" to read; It is still, as it was first intended to be, an introductory textbook for students of Roman Law...well, perhaps no longer such a good FIRST introduction (go to Alan Watson's "Roman Law and Comparative Law" or his "Spirit of Roman Law" for that).

So what is its worth? Historically, it is the most complete of all the juristic texts written before the Theodosian Code and Justinian's Corpus. Of all the jurists represented by short citations in Justinian's Digest, only Gaius can be filled out with longer manuscripts. The result is a rich and lengthy text, which in this edition fills a sizable but portable volume (this cannot be said for Justinian's Digest).

The content, caveat emptor, will seem dry to many people who approach it wihtout a good reason. As with an oracle, one should have their questions ready before they approach. A very thorough "Outline of Contents" in place of an index helps quickly orient the reader towards the answers they seek.

A student of Roman law, as well as the student of American Law for that matter, will find the seeds of his or her study already firmly rooted and blooming here. The more general reader will discover an abundance of cultural facts and dilectable quanta of information. Since a culture is perhaps better reflected in its laws than in any other single institution, the careful reader can derive from the Institutes much about Romans that is hidden in Roman literature and art. For instance, slaves, who are often silent and ignored elsewehere are here represented by dozens of legal precedents. The rights and lifestyles of children, generally found only in untrustworthy (aggrandizing) biography, myth, or comedic anecdotes are here presented in the full scope of their legality and self-possesion (or lack thereof). In short, these laws can bespeak both shared community interests, and the opposite, the unlawful but potent desires that motivate individuals to act outside the common interest.

Being a careful and thorough jurist, however, Gaius gives more detail than a non-specialist reader (like myself!) sometimes wants. But I'm willing to overlook the superfluities in trade for such wonderful gems of information I get; such as the fact that senators would often free slaves so frivolously that it was common to witness several manumissions in the course a short walk to a friend's dinner party; and such as the clever trick for avoiding the consequence of legal lists by writing the names of the list in a circle, so there is no beginning or end to form a sequence.

Being a humble Classics-fanatic, these kinds of details make my day. If you too are overjoyed to discover Classical minutia of such grandeur, AND if you care a smidgeon for the Law, you must possess yourself of this book. You will find within the Latin text, an eloquent facing translation, a full critical apparatus, a useful glossary, and all this for a very reasonable price. My one complaint is that the Introduction could stand to be a little longer and fuller. But then, there is always Honore's biography, "Gaius" for the curious.

Enjoy!

Mears, T. Lambert, Translator. The Institutes of Gaius and Justinian, The Twelve Tables, and the CXVIIIth and CXXVIIth Novels, With Introductions and Translation. London: Stevens and Sons, 1882. lx, 626 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 978-1-58477-440-2. ISBN-10: 1-58477-440-1. Cloth. $150. * With an extensive introduction. Mears arranged both Institutes in parallel columns to facilitate comparisons between them. Passages copied from Gaius are printed in italics. The two Novels, which deal with intestate succession, are included because they supplanted the part of Justinian's Institutes that deals with this subject. This compilation offers an excellent introduction to Roman law and its evolution from the first to sixth centuries CE.

Book Description

Improved technology for imaging living cells, specific cellular targets and organelles is having a dramatic impact on basic and applied research. By combining optical design and molecular genetics, a new series of tools is being developed and successfully applied together with classical probes. Novel labelling strategies, better software for image enhancement and analysis are now available and allow image acquisition with greater speed and precision. This lab manual, intended as for bench-top use, is suitable for both scientists and graduate students, combines an update on the most advanced imaging procedures with detailed protocols. Examples, cleverly selected from the wide repertoire of cell pyhsiology, cover different functional aspects such as distribution of multiple ions, electrical activity, exo-endocytosis, gene expression, and the cell cycle.

Book Description

This book addresses both fundamental and applied aspects of ocean waves including the use of wave observations made from satellites. More specifically it describes the WAM model, its scientific basis, its actual implementation, and its many applications. The three sections of the volume describe the basic statistical theory and the relevant physical processes; the numerical model and its global and regional applications; and satellite observations, their interpretation and use in data assimilation.

Book Description

This book examines the underlying science and design of laser materials. It emphasizes the principles of crystal-field engineering and discusses the basic physical concepts that determine laser gain and nonlinear frequency conversion in optical crystals. Henderson and Bartram develop the predictive capabilities of crystal-field engineering to show how modification of the symmetry and composition of optical centers can improve laser performance. They also discuss applications of the principles of crystal-field engineering to a variety of optical crystals in relation to the performances of laser devices. This book will be of considerable interest to physical, chemical and material scientists and to engineers involved in the science and technology of solid state lasers.
