A most welcome addition to neuroscience reference shelves.......2004-05-03
Collaboratively compiled and edited by biologists and academicians John H. Byrne and James L. Roberts, From Molecules To Networks: An Introduction To Cellular And Molecular Neuroscience is a superbly organized and presented college-level instructional text presupposing a heavy mathematic and scientific background as it meticulously instructs the reader concerning cellular components of nervous tissue, brain energy metabolism, molecular properties of ion channels, and more. Each instructional chapter is written and presented by a different specialist or specialists in the specific field. Some diagrams intersperse the largely nuts-and-bolts information of this straightforward and through textbook, recommended especially for cellular and molecular neuroscience students and professionals whose careers directly correspond to this vibrant field. From Molecules To Networks is a most welcome addition to neuroscience reference shelves, which comes nicely enhanced with an accompanying CD-ROM that includes all the various illustrations and diagrams.

Book Description
Although there are many scientific and philosophical reasons to study the brain, for William J. Freed, "the most compelling reason to study the brain is to be able to repair the brains of individuals with nervous system injury or disease." Advances in repairing the nervous system, as well as new data on brain development, growth, and plasticity, have revolutionized the field of brain research and given rise to the technology of brain tissue transplantation. In this book Freed discusses both what may and what may not be possible.
The book covers two aspects of neural tissue transplantation research. One involves the transplantation of particular cells to repair or augment specific neuronal systems. This technique could be useful for such conditions as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, chronic pain, and epilepsy. The other line of research concerns regeneration from injury, especially of the spinal cord.
After providing basic background on transplantation, brain structure, and development, the book discusses Parkinson's disease, the use of transplants to influence localized brain functions, circuit reconstruction, and genetic engineering and other future technologies.

Outstanding Resource.......1998-10-08
This book should be included on every neurologist's shelf, and also provides insights useful to any molecular biologist. Edited by the esteemed Dr. Joseph B. Martin, co-editor of the gold standard of medical textbooks, Harrison's Textbook of Internal Medicine, it is clear that the clarity of that text is due in no small part to its editing. Martin also provides extremely useful "next steps" in his unique section that follows the texts written by other pre-eminent neurologists such as Dr. Anne Young and scores of others from Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Stephen Hauser and other former colleagues of Dr. Martin's at UCSF. This is an absolute must read.
Book Description
The African Development Report 1998 provides a comprehensive and concise analysis of economic and social progress in Africa and examines development policy issues affecting economic prospects in the continent. The central theme of this year's Report - Human Capital Development - reflects the importance accorded to the role of human capital formation in accelerating economic growth and in reducing poverty. The Report provides a wealth of economic and social statistics on Africa, making it an invaluable source of information for economists and policy-makers interested in the Continent.

Martin Nemzow's objective in Building Cyberstores is to show how to build a fully-functioning commercial site online. They'll take you beyond cataloging products and services, to taking and tracking orders, providing online help, tracking customer activity, linking productively with all relevant databases, and generally providing a customer with complete service from initial inquiry to delivery. Its focus, however, is not on how to construct the various pages of a site so much as how to plan and program a cyberstore in a fashion that integrates well with a company's total operations. For that reason, Nemzow begins with a discussion of HTML and database integration, starting with the site strategy and customer demographics. He goes on to explore the pros and cons of platform choices but spends the bulk of his efforts on service implementation. Budgets, domain registration, and legal issues such as reuse of older content receive attention, as do issues of site security, enabling the site for electronic commerce, and integration with financial software. Case studies of a wide variety of sites--ranging from not-for-profit organizations to major manufacturers and from catalog merchandisers to a Web mall and online gaming service--show how the various programming principles work in action. The enclosed CD-ROM includes a copy of the book, a variety of resource files, order entry form templates, tools for gathering customer data, and other Web site development tools.
Book Description
Morph your Web site into a thriving Cyberstore. Setting up and managing a profitable net-selling operation has never been easier! Martin Nemzow's Building Cyberstores: Installation, Transaction and Management gives you the tools to integrate your company's existing databases into your Web site for maximum sales at a minimum cost. You get hands-on help every step of the way-tips on platform selection and interconnectivity-complete guidelines for working with CGI and VB scripts and other tools-and profiles of real-world online database integration strategies-everything you need to implement an internal/external Web site that supports e-mail, threaded messages, surveying, cyber ordering and catalog services with EDI, merchant credit and E-cash. The bundled CD-ROM comes loaded with ready-to-use order templates, examples of existing cyberstores and tools for gathering data from customers-making this the most valuable guide to online commerce available.
Customer Reviews:
Don't waste time and money on this book.......2000-01-02
This is a book full of fluff. Not practical at all in today's ecommerce world! Some high-score reviewing to this title is really misleading.
Easy reading but not worth it.......1999-10-29
I bought this book hoping to learn some technical issues involved in web business, after reading it I found I learned nothing new. It seemed to touch every issues related but really explained nothing. There are certainly better books than this one.
DO NOT waste your money.......1999-10-04
This book is purely theory. There is nothing that can actually be used in real life applications.
Not to the point and content does not match chapter title.......1999-09-12
Book is full of diagrams only the author could understand. Author does have some good insight(not technical) on building a good site.That will be the only reason for reading this book. But he could probably cover that in a pamphlet instead of a book if he exercise self constraint with writing metaphors. Basically the technical side is very limited and outdated, and does not offer good advice due to subjectiveness. Also the book has too much unnecessary writings equivalent to verbal mumbling. One simple point could take up a whole page. Waste of reader's time. Author does not know his target audience. Some parts of the book are so basic that it belongs to the FOR DUMMY series, but others are very technical and author did not offer any briefing.
Not helpful at all.......1999-02-10
This book provides no technical information needed to build a cyberstore. It might be useful to those who need an dated overview of e-commerce.

Book Description
Written by a business analyst with considerable experience of Vietnam, this book provides a detailed business guide to one of the world's most promising emerging markets. Foreign investment in, and trade flows with, Vietnam have boomed since Hanoi initiated economic reform in the late 1980s. With a population of 70 million, cheap but relatively skilled labour, and plentiful natural resources, on the one hand, and problems of inadequate infrastructure, excessive bureaucracy, and political constraints on the other, the country has nonetheless become yet more attractive since the relaxation of U.S. economic sanctions and the resumption of multilateral lending.
