Quite boring.......2006-01-19

The books is a collection of a few articles written by a few famous investors. Of course, there is some wisdom in their words, but overall the selection looks pretty random. The articles are not really logically connected, written about different markets, different times and often are given out of the context. Just like mixing the best ingridients is not nessesary makes a good meal, this books is not adding much value by combining the pieces together.

It's also hard to recommend this book to any category of investors. It's clearly not a getting started guide for the beginners because there is no introduction to the market. And the serious investors would probably rather read the original works of those star investors.

Book Description

This topical insight in the role of cytokines in joint inflammation and joint destruction is important for a better understanding of key processes in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Apart from the impact of well-known and novel cytokines on joint tissues, the various chapters address the issue of targeted therapy with biological response modifiers and future interventions with carefully designed inhibitors. Special attention is given to elements of synovial cell activation, cell-cell interaction, cytokine interplay as well as mechanisms of cartilage destruction and bone erosion. New information on the novel cytokines IL-15, IL-17 and IL-18 and their position in the complex cytokine interplay is provided, in addition to an outline of the role of established cytokines, such as TNF, IL-1 and IL-6. Cytokine regulation of destructive enzymes, RANKL, the endogenous inhibitor OPG and their crucial roles as central players in joint erosion are highlighted. This volume gives a complete and balanced view on pivotal cytokines and joint pathology for the biomedical and clinical researcher.

A Useful Tool.......2007-03-09

The labs I've done so far have all been very helpful in reinforcing concepts I've been learning in class. The labs are often very challenging and sometimes details needed for answering questions aren't given, but for the most part the instructions are clear. I find, though, that I often need instruction and guidance from the professor in doing the work, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book for self-instruction.

Book Description

Thermoelectrics is the science and technology associated with thermoelectric converters, that is, the generation of electrical power by the Seebeck effect and refrigeration by the Peltier effect. Thermoelectric generators are being used in increasing numbers to provide electrical power in medical, military, and deep space applications where combinations of their desirable properties outweigh their relatively high cost and low generating efficiency. In recent years there also has been an increase in the requirement for thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices) for use in infrared detectors and in optical communications. Information on thermoelectrics is not readily available as it is widely scattered throughout the literature. The Handbook centralizes this information in a convenient format under a single cover. Sixty of the world's foremost authorities on thermoelectrics have contributed to this Handbook. It is comprised of fifty-five chapters, a number of which contain previously unpublished material. The contents are arranged in eight sections: general principles and theoretical considerations, material preparation, measurement of thermoelectric properties, thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric generation, generator applications, thermoelectric refrigeration, and applications of thermoelectric cooling. The CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics has a broad-based scope. It will interest researchers, technologists, and manufacturers, as well as students and the well-informed, non-specialist reader.

the TE bible.......2001-09-08

this book has everything one would need to research on TE - power generation and cooling ...
it goes very deep within a topic but covers a lot of topics ...
if you're in to TE .... this book is something you should have ...
it's a good reference book too ...
it's well worth the 200 dollars i paid for it ...
i was quite thrilled to get it ... and i'm quite thrilled to have it ...

it relates well to thermodynamics .... the book is well organised ....

this book is the bible of Thermoelectrics ...

Collage of interest.......2001-08-02

This book, unlike other CRCs, is not filled with tables upon tables of constants; rather, it is a collection of articles of different thermoelectric experiments. This book has articles ranging from complex to simple, but in general it's clear, understandable, and a good read. Unfortunately, most of the articles are very specific to specialized fields of thermoelectrics and the book won't always answer your questions about different TE devices.

A good read..........2007-08-13

I laughed out loud a few times and overall I enjoyed the book. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars were...#1 an internationally acclaimed author should be able to update her home w/ central air and heat (I got tired of the whining about the furnace)#2 The author kept writing about being alone in the Country and she wasn't alone, she was w/ her Hubby. There were a few other dissapointments but I don't want to give anything else away.

Gorgeous, funny, poignant.......2006-10-25

This book is gorgeously written, funny, self-effacing and poignantly insightful. Ostensibly it's about moving to the country and remodeling a house. But it's really about how we humans try to make lives amidst the swirling, changing facets of nature and humanity. How do we continue on in the face of concerns small and large--from trying to heat our homes in the midst of severe winters, to facing the loss of those we count on and love? Never mawkish or cloying, Miller is an astute, sensitive observer of the human condition.

A Nice Easy Read.......2005-08-22

The first 20 pages dragged and sounded a bit snooty...but I really wanted to like this book and said I'd wait to page 50 to decide. As I read on I ended up getting drawn in and curious. At the end I was disapointed on the quick and simple ending. I would have liked more details about what happened to the home and the author. All in all it was a charming book on country life that most of us would love to live!

A Celebration of Appalachia.......2004-02-06

In this book Cathleen Miller celebrates her new life in Appalachia, bringing a sense of wonder to the landscape, seasons and citizens of Central Pennsylvania. She is a skilled writer and one is soon lulled into the warm cocoon of this couple's world by Miller's engaging voice-alternately hilarious, poignant, inquisitive, and revealing.

Critics of her memoir seem to have missed a few key points in the narrative. Miller makes herself the butt of her jokes-not her neighbors. She talks about how she doesn't understand them, she finds their traditions unfamiliar, but her essayist's questioning always comes from a place of respectful curiosity, as if examining her own opinions in this new world as much as those of the residents of Centre County. In fact, one look at the opening pages of The Birdhouse Chronicles should say it all, as Miller chooses to honor her neighbors in the dedication: "For the good folks who live on Burd Lane with my gratitude and respect." The reader from Aaronsburg also seems not to have noticed that the author and her husband are donating their time to preserve historic landmarks in her beloved region, thereby providing-along with this great memoir of place-a lasting tribute to rural Pennsylvania.

Even though I live in State College, I first heard about this book from reading a review of it in The Wall Street Journal. The reviewer mentioned how the book slowed down time to emulate the experience of living in the country, and for me that was a welcome gift.

Self-centered drivel.......2003-12-16

As a native of Centre County I looked forward to hearing someones view of an area of the country that I have left and returned to for its quirky charm and customs. But instead what I found was a smug, self-indulgent story that rambles on never to make a profound or astute observation. The author portrays herself and her husband as superiors to their earnest, hardworking neighbors --she laughs at, not with them. She mocks their holiday customs, their offers of help, and assistance, their entertainment,their towns, every element of their lives. If I could give this book negative stars, I would, but the form wont let me. I can't believe any publisher thought this book she be printed.
