Book Description

This book provides a clear and concise summary of the present state of the theory of inflation accounting for students and practitioners. It describes all of the main alternative methods of inflation accounting and illustrates them, using simple numerical examples. The theoretical and practical aspects of each method are discussed, in order to give the reader the framework within which he can evaluate the relative merits of the various practical solutions to the inflation accounting problem which are now being implemented in the UK, USA and elsewhere throughout the English-speaking world. The emphasis throughout is on a comparison of the relative merits of alternative systems, rather than aiming to give a single ‘best’ solution. Indeed the latter aim is seen as most probably illusory, because different types of accounting information may be needed for different purposes.

Book Description

Successful release of new and better crop varieties increasingly requires genomics and molecular biology. This volume presents basic information on plant molecular marker techniques from marker location up to gene cloning. The text includes a description of technical approaches in genome analysis such as comparison of marker systems, positional cloning, and array techniques in 19 crop plants. A special section focuses on converting this knowledge into general and specific breeding strategies, particularly in relation to biotic stress. Theory and practice of marker assisted selection for QTL, gene pyramiding and the future of MAS are summarized and discussed for maize, wheat, and soybean. Furthermore, approaches in silviculture on the examples of Fagus, Populus, Eucalyptus, Picea and Abies are presented. The volume ends with a comprehensive review of the patents relevant for using molecular markers and marker assisted selection.

Book Description

The gb-glucuronidase (GUS) gene is extremely useful as a reporter of the expression of introduced genes and can be used in organisms where other reporter genes are useless. Thus, the GUS gene is the reporter gene of choice for transgenic plant research. Not only can this assay be used to detect whether a gene is being expressed, but it can be used to determine the location of the gene product within cells. Low cost is another advantage of this assay.
GUS Protocols provides instructions and essential background information that will enable researchers to effectively use the GUS gene as a reporter of the expression of introduced genes.

Book Description

The book consists of articles contributed by experts in the respective field of biotechnology. During the last couple of years, biotechnological approaches are being employed for the improvement in quality and quantity of oil crops, cereals, legumes and medicinal plants. Considering the rapid depletion of precious natural wealth, micropropagation through tissue culture has assumed added significance. This book, timely presentation of current status of achievements by active researchers as well as future prospects, deals with some thrust areas of plant biotechnology. For the purpose of prevention of bio-piracy molecular markers have emerged as the most reliable tool for indexing genetic polymorphism of plants. The chapters testify the value of the book at this juncture when plant biotechnology and molecular marker system are making rapid strides towards commercial applications. Depending upon the importance of the crop some of the chapters are plant-specific, while others deal more generally with the area of the subject.
Graduate and postgraduate students and researchers who wish to further investigate those areas, will find this book of utmost use.

A long trip up from the basement of time.......2004-06-04

Compared to some states like Colorado or California, Michigan might seem a bit geologically dull. Our state was part of a great inland sea during much of the Paleozoic Era, got scraped and graded by Pleistocene glaciers, then covered with detritus that the glaciers left behind. However, some of Earth's oldest eukaryotic life --organisms having cells in which the genetic material is contained within a distinct nucleus--has been discovered in the Precambrian rocks of Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. The Rockies and even the Appalachians are mere youngsters compared to the Mesabi Range.

When John McPhee skipped over Michigan in his four-volume rhapsody on American geology, he was skipping over some of the 'deepest time' on Earth.

Luckily, we have Dorr and Eschman's "Geology of Michigan" to make up some of the gaps, although these authors unlike McPhee, were not writing for a general audience. This book could be used for a college-level geology course, and the reader is assumed to be familiar with terms such as 'syncline,' 'anhydrite,' 'eperic,' and 'terminal moraine.'

Rather than juxtaposing travels in the modern world with journeys through ancient terrains, Dorr and Eschman take an elevator from the basement of time in the Precambrian up through Michigan's modern topological features that have been formed by wind and water.

Some of my favorite chapters involve the ancient highlands and iron formations of the Upper Peninsula, but the authors also do justice to the reefs and seas of the Paleozoic Era, and the glaciology of more modern epochs. They also devote a chapter to the 'Lost Interval'--an era extending from the end of the Pennsylvanian Period until the last stage of the Pleistocene, where the geologic record of Michigan is almost completely blank. Don't expect to find many dinosaur bones in this state--marine fossils are our specialty, since Michigan was usually covered with water in one form or another. Ancient sharks and coral reef fauna are discussed in detail. Then this book skips up the paleontological time line to the mastodons and other animals that appeared during the retreat of the Late Pleistocene ice sheet. But we are also home to "asphaltic deposits of Precambrian algae in the Upper Peninsula"--one of the most ancient records of life on earth.

Separate chapters are devoted to Michigan's rocks and minerals, and petroleum and natural gas formations. The International Salt Mine under Detroit is also featured.

My edition of "Geology of Michigan" was issued in 1988 (it was originally published in 1970), so it does not discuss one of the most fascinating theories of the origin of interbedded iron and silica deposits that date from the Cryptozoic time of the Pre-Cambrian, some 1.7 to 3 billion years ago. No banded iron formations are known in younger rock masses. One theory proposes at this early time, the atmosphere of earth was deficient in oxygen, and the iron and silica weathered from existing rock was transported to ocean basins with no oxidation. Here, they were precipitated by BIOLOGICAL processes to form the silica-rich iron deposits.

Just a few years ago, coiled spiral fossils that were uncovered in a banded iron formation in a Michigan mine prompted a new look at how complex living cells evolved, and whether oxygen was absolutely necessary for the process. These coin-sized coils are the by far the oldest known fossils of macroscopic organisms, and the earliest evidence of eukaryotes.

Michigan is not only home to some of the oldest rock formations on Earth, but also some of its earliest fossils.

Boring, eh?

The Land Beneath the State of Michigan.......2007-03-17

This is another fascinating book written for children but appealing to adults by the same author of "The Day the Great Lakes Drained Away" (my favorite of the two). This book is a little deeper than the lakes books, as it focuses more on geology. Even so, the simple drawings and explanations of how the state was formed and why land areas are shaped the way they are is interesting and factual reading.

A competent textbook.......2006-12-18

I have taught from this book. It is a decent text. It is somewhat engineering-oriented
for a text in a physics course, but that has its good aspects as well as its bad ones.

this is one of the better books on E&M.......2002-05-19

the last reviewer doesnt know what he/she is talking about. this is one of the best books around. the explanation is very clear
and is always geared toward understanding the physics of what the hell is going on. the examples are all practical and emphasize the physics. not just calculate "this" or "that" "here" and "there". just
go to a bookstore and take a look at the book and u see what i
mean. i was trying to understand what is the magnetic pressure
and i looked at 10 books, this one has the best illustration.
also the special relativity is very clear.

This is one terrible book!.......2002-04-02

This book is the worst. Anyone trying to learn electromagetism on their own or even in a class should definitely steer clear of this book. The writing is very terse, there are very few examples, and the few examples included are complicated, poorly done, and poorly explained.
