Great book for a quick airplane read.......2007-03-04

Innervation by Guy Browning is a very good book. The book made me rethink several points in my life. This book gave me several tools I can use in every day life.

Guy Browning is a straight shooter. He gets right to the point and says it like it is. If you are looking for a good quick read I would recommend Innervation.

Great!.......2004-06-30

I'll start by saying that I've read a fair amount of books in my day. This book, for its genre, is probably the best (second would probably be The Circle of Innovation by Tom Peters) that I've read.

I'm honestly AMAZED by how concisely he communicates points in a matter of paragraphs that would take other authors entire books.

There also haven't been all that many books where I've started to laugh out loud in the middle of. I really like this guy's way of getting straight to the point.

Book Description

The importance of chemical communication is illustrated in this study with examples from a diverse range of animals including humans, marine copepods, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, moths, snakes, goldfish, elephants and mice. For students of ecology, evolution and behavior, Tristram Wyatt provides an introduction to the rapid progress in the understanding of olfaction at the molecular and neurological level. In addition, he offers chemists, molecular biologists and neurobiologists insights into the ecological, evolutionary and behavioral context of olfactory communication.

Book Description

This book reflects the tremendous growth peroxidases research has experienced in recent years, providing for the first time in over three decades a systematic, up-to-date treatment of the subject. From cancer in plants to unique saddle-shaped hemes in peroxidases, it consolidates vast amounts of information previously scattered in the professional literature, covering all aspects of these ubiquitous enzymes that act on a variety of substances and processes in living systems-their properties, reactions, crystal structures, cloning, and more.

Complete with hundreds of vivid illustrations, many in color or 3D, Heme Peroxidases presents Welinder's recent classification of the enzymes according to their evolutionary development; X-ray crystallographic data on many peroxidases; a step-by-step introduction to modern spectroscopic techniques used in peroxidases research; an appendix listing amino acid sequences for all enzymes and catalases described in the book; and over 1,700 references to current results.

This one-stop reference for analytical biochemists, biotechnologists, and others interested in the study and use of peroxidases, offers a critical review of the literature, and sorts through the various conflicting reports about peroxidase mechanisms. It familiarizes the reader with commercial and industrial applications in analytical biochemistry, biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, and the environment - addressing future trends in drug synthesis, water purification, and soil decontamination.

A must have for some..........2007-01-09

This book probably does not need a review, since it is clear that people interested in purchasing this book are in the field of biochemistry and already know that Dunford is "the man" when it come to peroxidase chemistry. If you are a grad student entering the field of biochemistry dealing with peroxidases, p450, or other heme system... buy this book! If you cannot afford it on your salary, send this review to your parents...parents...buy this book for your son or daughter!!!

Description:
A biocompatible silk fibroin (SF) film provided a feasible microenvironment for heme-proteins to direct electron transfer on graphite electrodes (GE). Myoglobin (Mb), hemoglobin (Hb), horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and catalase (Cat) in corporated in SF films exhibited a pair of well-defined, nearly reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks, corresponding to the reaction of hemeFe (III)+e->hemeFe (II). The formal potential (E^0), the apparent coverage (@C) and the electron transfer rate constant (k"s) of four proteins in SF films were evaluated by analyzing the cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of heme-proteins. The formal potential was pH dependent, suggesting that proton ion was involved in the reaction. Ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectra and reflectance absorbance infrared (RAIR) spectra indicated that heme-proteins in SF films were not grossly denatured. The structure of heme-proteins-SF films was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and RAIR. It indicated that there existed intermolecular interaction between heme-proteins and SF and this governed their different morphology in SF films. Hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide were catalytically reduced by the heme-proteins in SF films, showing the potential applicability of the heme-proteins-SF films as the new type of biosensors based on the protein film voltammetry.

Book Description

Designed for use in a second course on linear algebra, Matrix Theory and Applications with MATLAB covers the basics of the subject-from a review of matrix algebra through vector spaces to matrix calculus and unitary similarity-in a presentation that stresses insight, understanding, and applications. Among its most outstanding features is the integration of MATLAB throughout the text. Each chapter includes a MATLAB subsection that discusses the various commands used to do the computations in that section and offers code for the graphics and some algorithms used in the text. All of the material is presented from a matrix point of view with enough rigor for students to learn to compose arguments and proofs and adjust the material to cover other problems. The treatment includes optional subsections covering applications, and the final chapters move beyond basic matrix theory to discuss more advanced topics, such as decompositions, positive definite matrices, graphics, and topology. Filled with illustrations, examples, and exercises that reinforce understanding, Matrix Theory and Applications with MATLAB allows readers to experiment and visualize results in a way that no other text does. Its rigor, use of MATLAB, and focus on applications better prepares them to use the material in their future work and research, to extend the material, and perhaps obtain new results of their own.

Book Description

A riveting account of an incredible 3,423-mile foot race across America, the Great Foot Race of 1928, and C.C. Pyle, the legendary sports promoter who masterminded the event.

A year before the Great Depression, endurance fads were all the rage. From dance marathons to flagpole sitting, everyone was looking for a chance to change their luck, and spectators would shell out hard-earned cash to watch. When notorious sports agent and promoter C.C. Pyle offered a $25,000 prize for a foot race from Los Angeles to New York, 199 runners from all over the world took their marks and half a million spectators flocked to the starting line. The race was grueling, but an astonishing 55 participants made it to the Madison Square Garden finish line 84 days later.

C.C. Pyle’s Amazing Foot Race details this historic event and the colorful cast of characters involved.

At the crux of the story are two very different men: the fast-talking, shady, yet forward-thinking promoter C.C. Pyle, always scheming to make a quick buck; and Andy Payne, a 20-year-old part-Cherokee Oklahoman, who entered the competition as a longshot, against many world-class athletes, hoping to save his family’s farm and win the heart of the girl of his dreams.

In re-creating this classic American drama, the author accessed exclusive, never-before-published material and the support of several descendants of the characters, including Andy Payne’s daughter and C.C. Pyle’s great-granddaughter.

Great Diet Tips.......2007-10-04

In addition to being a fantastic story,it should also be recognized as a great diet book. Imagine, you tub-of-lard, how svelte you would be if you ran from L.A. to New York averaging more than the distance of a marathon every day.

Seriously, if you want to understand what it was like to accomplish such a feat, this is THE book.

Amazing story of an amazing race.......2007-09-04

Mr. Williams has captured an outlandish event for all it was worth- the notion of a coast-to-coast foot race covering 30-60 miles daily with out a break through all sorts of weather is a terrific read. Predictably, many who started the race were ill-equipped and ill-trained and fell out early. Those who remained in the race paint a heroic picture of those 1920s vintage marathon personalities. Mr. William's book is also quite valuable as it documents the towns along the route the race took in the late 1920s. "C.C. Pyle's Amazing Foot Race" also traces the original alignment of Route 66 between Los Angeles and Chicago as it was envisioned in 1926, and gives the reader a feel for both the condition of the great American highway, and what the runners faced up to each day as they ran eastward towards New York. All in all, a fine book, well researched and well presented.

A Gritty, Whimsical "Must Read" Book.......2007-09-01

In C.C. Pyle's Amazing Foot Race, Geoff Williams breathes new life into an old, but true, coast-to-coast adventure that pitted runners from around the world in a grit-filled journey of survival from Los Angeles to New York. Readers are transported back to an era when the technology of telephones and radios, not to mention athletic gear, were still in their infancy and Vaudeville performers entertained the masses.

Cast against this backdrop, Williams tells us the story of sports promoter C.C. "Cash & Carry" Pyle, the Galloping Ghost Red Grange, and a multitude of runners and supporting characters that carved their own niche in the history of America during the spring of 1928.

Williams captures the heart and soul of the 1920s in his narrative, giving us a flavor of a less complicated time when people could turn over their whims to such feats as marathon dancing, eating contests, and flagpole sitting. Yet, under the current of these fanciful pursuits, the story also reveals to us life's realities: the desire to win the heart of your true love, the want for fame and fortune, or, more simply, the fear of losing one's home.

In March 1928, 199 men - each with their own motivations - set off from Los Angeles on a 3,421-mile race of a lifetime. During the journey, we come to know the men of the Bunion Derby like the simple, but pure-hearted Oklahoman Andy Payne, his talented, British rival Pete Gavuzzi, and the loveable laggard Paul "Hardrock" Simpson.

Williams has crafted a masterful story that is richly detailed, yet fast-paced and filled with tender and dramatic moments. While it is clear that the book was meticulously researched from newspaper accounts of the race, archival materials, old letters, and interviews with family members, Williams never overwhelms the reader with too many details at once. Rather, he weaves facts, stories, and curiosities throughout the narrative.

C.C. Pyle's Amazing Foot Race is an engaging book from start to finish that will satisfy history buffs, runners, and anyone seeking out a great human-interest story. Even reality TV fans might be tempted to put down their remotes to read about a real reality contest far more interesting than shows like The Amazing Race or The Apprentice.

Captivating, funny, colorful - a great read!.......2007-08-28

I really enjoyed CC Pyle's Amazing Footrace. Right away, Geoff Williams presents the reader with a fascinating cast of characters, including the race's promoter: the PT Barnum-esque CC Pyle. The runners included men like the small-bodied, cigarette-smoking Pete Gavuzzi, the wholesome love-struck Andy Payne, and the ambitious go-getter, Paul "Hardrock" Simpson.

The race kicks off in Los Angeles, and Geoff Williams takes us along as the runners move eastward, at first mostly sprightly, healthy, and well-fed. As the race moves eastward, we get to know these runners more intimately, and can appreciate the friendships and rivalries that develop. The structure of the book lets the reader enjoy the cumulative effect of time, hardship, and hope on these brave participants of the bunion derby. Because Williams paints his scenes and characters so well, I could not help seeing this book as a movie.

Williams also peppers his prose with a lot of humor, which is a wonderfully unexpected thing in a book that is so well researched. I got lost in his narrative voice and finished this book very quickly. Whether you like to run or hate to run, you will love this book that shows humanity at its wackiest, most exhausted and most stubborn.

Best Book I've read in 5 Years!!.......2007-08-18

I read 50+ books a year- This was the best one I've read in a LONG time- I went cover to cover on this in about a day. It looked interesting and so I picked it up- Great story about a bunch of runners who actually ran across the country in a footrace!! Sounds unbelievable but it actually happened- You won't be disappointed in this one!!
