      Product Description

      “Methods in Yeast Genetics” is a course that has been offered annually at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for the last thirty years. This is an updated edition of the course manual, which provides a set of teaching experiments, along with protocols and recipes for the standard techniques and reagents used in the study of yeast biology. Since the last edition of the manual was published (2000), revolutionary advances in genomics and proteomics technologies have had a significant impact on the field. This updated edition reflects these advances, and also includes new techniques involving vital staining, visualization of Green Fluorescent Protein, new drug resistance markers, high-copy suppression, Tandem Affinity Protein tag protein purification, gene disruption by double-fusion polymerase chain reaction, and many other recent developments.

          Book Description

          Yeast is an ideal eukaryotic microorganism for biochemical and genetic studies, particularly since its complete genome sequence became available. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Yeast Genetics Course has kept pace with the field over the last 30 years, combining essential standard methods with the latest technologies, and its course manual has followed suit. In the new 2000 edition, most of the experiments have been revised and several new experiments and techniques have been added, including the 2-hybrid system, PCR-based methods, and isolation of chromatin. This manual remains a primary source for newcomers to the field as well as the established investigator, providing complete, detailed protocols and techniques of proven robustness.

                            4 out of 5 stars Overviews of famous women's lives.......2004-04-11

                            This installment in the Famous Lives Series is about famous women throughout history. Divided up into about twenty categories (such as Reformers, Caregivers, and Scientific minds) are short biographies of over one hundred women. The reader can read each biography on its own, read them by categories, or pick and choose which ones to read. This book is perfect for a quick overview of a famous woman's life. Anyone needing material in greater detail would do better to look elsewhere.

                            The book is teeming with illustrations. Almost everyone has her likeness included alongside her biography. Modern women have photographs; less recent women have color sketches.

                            The accompanying text is somewhat dry reading, redeemed only by its brevity and frequent subject changes. One interesting aspect of the book is the explanatory text beginning the part on Notorious Women, calling for the reader to look past the surface of the life story. "Some women are deservedly notorious for their crimes; in other cases their evil deeds have been exaggerated."

                            This is not exclusively a collection of great, admirable women. While the book does share the lives of many highly regarded females, it also includes several women who would make distinctly poor role models. I find this inclusion interesting, and humanizing - showing some flaws makes being a "famous woman" seem like less of an unattainable goal.

                            5 out of 5 stars Excellent for middle school.......2000-04-01

                            If you are familiar with the Usbourne books, you'll know the format of this book without ever seeing it. It has 21 two page chapters. Each chapter has 3 to 6 women in it, with two or three paragraphs on each woman and lots of photos and illustrations. Perfect for the short attention span of middle schoolers and even appropriate for upper elementary children although they may have some trouble with the vocabulary. (Strong readers will do fine.) Exasperating to adults who would like more information on each person and who would like to see longer chapters on scientists, reformers and leaders instead of the chapters on notorious women and robbers and rogues. Lots of good information at an unbeatable price.

                                  5 out of 5 stars A good thing in a small package........2006-02-11

                                  At 32 pages, total, this is more like a pamphlet than a book. At the time I posted this review, used copies were available for 98 cents plus shipping. At this price, don't expect exhaustive coverage of the subject. However, for a quickie look at the subject, this is very nicely done. There are color pictures on every page. The monarchs covered include Akhenaten, Nefertiti, King Tut, Alexander the Great, Boudicca, Shih Huan Ti, Montezuma, Atahualpa, Charlemagne, Kublai Kahan, Henry VIII, Ivan IV, Louis XIV, Nicholas Romanov II, Shah Jahan, Ludwig II, the Dalai Lama, Elizabeth I and II, and briefer mention of a few others. I would call it suitable for all ages, high school and up. Unless you are a seasoned history professor, you will learn something about the subject from this tiny book.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Very interesting, but too short........1999-07-16

                                  Published in England. Nicely done. Lots of illustrations. Text is very interesting. The only problem is: it is too short. You can read it completely in under 10 minutes. They should have included more kings and queens and more detail on the ones they did include. Its billed as being a children's book, but the names of some of the kings and queens were difficult for me and I have a master's degree.
