Comprehensive heavyweight.......2001-01-10

This is a suitably vast book for a vast subject. It covers every aspect of the application of human genetics to medicine, and the reviews are not only an ideal introduction to a genetic disease, but are heavily referenced as well. This makes it ideal as a guide to the most recent literature on the subject. The introductory chapters are essential reading as well.

Book Description

High levels of homocysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid derived from methionine, have recently been identified as a very important risk factor in cardiovascular disease. Homocysteine abnormalities are also thought to contribute to birth defects and dementia. There are many common genetic disorders and problems (such as vitamin deficiency) that adversely affect the metabolism of homocysteine. In this book a team of the world's experts in the field provide a clear, current, clinical analysis of the biochemistry, genetics, and epidemiology of homocysteine disorders, providing a uniquely comprehensive account of the broad range of medical, nutritional and methodological implications of homocysteine for health and disease.

Book Description

Containing 45 papers written by outstanding international authors from 14 countries, this three-volume compendium brings together the elements needed to understand the factors which influence the utilization of amino acids. The wide-ranging topics include descriptions of metabolic pathways and mechanisms of the biological utilization of amino acids, as well as factors that influence amino acid bioavailability in enteral and parenteral nutrition. The use of amino acids to improve the quality and safety of the diet is presented. Also discussed are amino acid precursors of biogenic amines and the role of amino acids in atherosclerosis, cancer, and immunity. Scientists from many disciplines will benefit from this broad overview.

Book Description

Amino Acids Biosynthesis presents the current knowledge of fundamental as well as applied microbiology of amino acids. Topics discussed are the amino acid biosynthetic pathways, their genetic and biochemical regulation, transport of amino acids and genomics of producing microorganisms. The characterization of the control mechanisms of amino acid biosynthesis has revealed insights into principles of genetic and biochemical regulation, such as transcriptional regulators and a new class of regulatory elements, the riboswitch.

The volume further deals with the metabolic engineering of microorganisms for the biotechnological production of amino acids for use as pharmaceuticals and, particularly, as food and feed additives. Comprehensive reviews are given of recent achievements to enable or improve production of amino acids and dipeptides by fermentation and enzyme catalysis. Here, the particular focus is on metabolic engineering, the rational improvement of metabolic functions using recombinant DNA technology.

Best Travel Book I Have Ever Purchased.......2007-01-10

I am a recent convert to Rick Steves. When I decided to travel around Eastern Europe I at first opted for the old standby - Lonely Planet. However, I stumbled upon so many great reviews of Rick Steves that I decided to get this book instead. I am certainly glad that I did.

Rick has a flair for sucking one into the world of which he writes. Before I even took my trip I found myself reading the travel book for leisure, not just planning.

The tips on hotels and hostels were great, as well as various restaurants. While I am not exactly a heavy spender, the book gave me great suggestions that allowed me to really feel like I was mixing in with the locals, especially in Slovenia.

I was also very impressed with Rick's recommendations on which sites and monuments to check out and which ones to skip. Steves is not afraid to state quite bluntly if an attraction is worth skipping. The only time Rick let me down was with the Joze Plecnik house in Ljubljana, which turned out to be a complete waste of time. I would have rather just spent more time in Bled.

I highly recommend any Rick Steves book. He is arguable the best travel writer around today. It's a pity that he only focuses on Europe, as I'm sure even a book on Tajikistan would be fascinating.

Great buy.......2007-01-03

It's always good to read the history of a place before visiting it! I helps to understand the behavior of the people. And the hints are also really worth!! Great savings!!

Best Way to see Eastern Europe.......2006-11-05

Rick Steve makes travel a cinch. The book hooks you up with the best restaurants, hotels, and places to see. I used this book last fall and did things I would have missed without it. Such as chasing a wedding couple in a rowboat in pouring rain across the lake in Bled to see the groom carry the bride up 100 steps, having an elegant dinner in Tito's favorite villa and staying in the coolest jail house in the world in Lujbiana (sp.). I bought this 2nd book for my sister who is going to Eastern Europe next spring.

Excellent Information.......2006-06-30

Rick Steves did his homework and this book definately helped in the small details. Especially helpful was the section regarding Auschwitz. Getting to and from can be tricky, and the book helps the situation. However, the minibus system wasn't as described in the book. Overall, a fantastic resource for traveling to Eastern Europe.

Needs improvement to be user-friendly!.......2006-06-22

Although there was a wealth of information within the book, it was almost impossible to locate through the Index. If you are trying to find an explanation or discussion quickly, do not bother with this book, as we found it necessary to leaf through pages and scan for key words, which often were noted museums, churches, palaces, etc.

For ease of use, and because of its weight, it should be separated into 2-3 volumes. We stopped carrying it very soon after arriving in Eastern Europe.

Zines.......2007-09-08

I am exploring using Zines in my classroom. This book is a great introduction for myself as well as my students, with easy examples and nice ideas.

GREAT BUY FOR A LITLE PRICE.......2007-01-08

I bought this book because I wanted to learn how to make comic books.This help me some what, it talks more about how to make zines and how to publish them. But I still found this book use full because it gives tips on how to create your on book, how to make home made paper and new ways of designing the exterior and interior of your home made book.Over all it is a good buy and is helpful to anyone who enjoys art and printmaking like my self!

I make zines.......2006-08-26

This was a great tool for me to start making zines. It helps simplify and focus ideas into a semi-professional product. Loaded with useful info and history. A great buy for very little green.

the best guide you could hope to carry in your pocket.......2006-07-27

Stolen Sharpie is just the right mix of guidance and space to allow you to create your own work of DIY publishing. Creating a zine can, and should, be fun, cheap and easy, and this book gives any reader a significant head start in each of those categories.
You can read it in one sitting, but will probably refer back to it again and again. A worthy use of $4!

Thinking about publishing your own zine?.......2006-05-06

Then you should read this first. How to's with just enough blank spaces to let you be creative, and all in a tiny purse (or pocket) sized book.

Even just reading this book will give you many ideas for your zine, and should prompt you to read more zines too!

Book Description

A Waste of My Money.......2007-01-09

This book didn't measure up to my expectations, I thought it would have nicer designs and more variety. I haven't looked through it again since the day I bought it. I packed it away along with the other design book I bought from this company.
