Book Description

The identification and characterisation of genes from filamentous fungi has become easier because of the rapid advances that have taken place in molecular biology, including the generation of whole genome sequences. The new challenge facing researchers is to determine the functions of genes and how they contribute to the biology of fungi. To do this, it is clear that a wide variety of different experimental techniques will be necessary, ranging from classical genetic analysis and mutant production, right through to cell biology, biochemistry and immunological methods. This book brings together detailed practical guidance from experienced researchers using the full range of these genetic, genomic, cellular and biochemical methods. The authors describe laboratory procedures that have been proven effective for the investigation of a wide variety of fungal species. They give key background information, technical tips and detailed experimental protocols, which will prove invaluable to researchers and students studying filamentous fungi.

Book Description

“DELIGHTFUL . . . INQUISITIVE AND INTELLIGENT, THIS BOOK WILL TAKE YOU FAR AND OPEN YOUR EYES.”
–The Seattle Times

In a penetrating, brilliantly written book that weaves sociology, history, politics, personality, and ancient and popular culture into one compelling narrative, Thurston Clarke island-hops around the oceans of the world, searching for an explanation for the most enduring geographic love affair of all time–between humankind and islands. Along the way Clarke visits the remote and silent Mas À Tierra, the island off the coast of Chile that inspired Defoe to write Robinson Crusoe; sleepy, simple Campobello, the Canadian island where Franklin D. Roosevelt spent his boyhood summers; Jura in the Hebrides, where George Orwell wrote 1984. A stunning work of wit, adventure, and incisive exploration, Searching for Paradise brings a unique passion to dazzling life.

“This enchanting hymn to our ceaseless fascination for islands and insularity is brilliant, quite without equal. Thurston Clarke’s wisdom and sensitivity radiate from every page: he fills us with an inexplicable longing for the land and the people glimpsed above the cliff top, and through the grasses beyond the beach.”
–SIMON WINCHESTER
Author of The Professor and the Madman

“An intelligent, passionate, absorbing book that manages to pull together the threads of history, myth, travelogue, personal reflection, and social commentary into a delightful narrative.”
–Toronto Globe and Mail

An overall good read if you're fascinated by small dots on a map.......2006-10-10

'Searching for Crusoe' aka 'Searching for Paradise' is an account of visits to thirteen islands scattered over the globe. These islands have been selected for representing one of the aspects that make any small island appealing, such as being famous, infamous, holy, personal, friendly or even frightening. The chapters mainly deal with the history of the islands and the people living on it.

Each chapter is pretty balanced, on average the stories are not too shallow, not too romantic, not to journalistic, not to philosophical, not too much Theroux, in fact, it's a lot but, not too much of everything, and I don't know if that is good thing. It seems the author is pretty familiar with the places he visits for having visited them before or having made study of them. Frequently a visit is centred around a handful of individuals helping him to find, or better said, to confirm what he was looking for. Clarke seems to be too much of a journalist to really get lost into the romance of islomania but on the other hand seems to be fascinated by them so much that old style island living is a bit over glorified. But he succeeds in portraying why islands can be so fascinating and along the lines show that one fascination of islands is the potential to understand and overview all of it and it's uniqueness. Besides from a bit of a poshy writing style it's an overall good read if you're fascinated by small dots on a map.

A wonderful tour of many fascinating islands .......2006-03-21

_Searching for Paradise_ by Thurston Clarke was a wonderful, well-written, witty book touring many of the world's islands, from the arctic island of Svalbard to sunny South Pacific islands like Abemama and a number of islands in between. I found the book a good mixture of history and travelogue and loved the author's descriptions of the sites, architecture, and in many cases fauna and flora of the places he visited as well as interviews with those who lived there.

Daniel Defoe's _Robinson Crusoe_ is one of the greatest stories of Western literature, so much a part of Western culture that its story haunts the very concept of an island, so much so that each person landing on an island brings Crusoe with them. Crusoe he writes "persuades us that islands are more liberating than confining, more contemplative than lonely," a place where one can meet God more easily because one is isolated from the wickedness of the world.

Clarke set out to find the reason for the most passionate and "enduring geographic love affair of all time," that between humans and islands, to identify what creates "islomania" (a gripping love for islands) and "islomanes" (island lovers). His intellectual journey took him not only to _Robinson Crusoe_, but also _Lord of the Flies_, _Peter Pan_, _Treasure Island_, _Swiss Family Robinson_, _The Odyssey_, _The Tempest_, _South Pacific_, and even James Bond and _Gilligan's Island_ (that latter which he detests by the way). It also of course took him to over a dozen islands and islets in oceans throughout the world.

Does Clarke find the answers to his question? He doesn't find a definitive answer, but does find many theories. Some islands may be appealing because they are so close to many images of the Garden of Eden; the Bandas of eastern Indonesia are the "archetypal island paradise," with palm trees, gorgeous beaches, reefs teeming with fish, dense forests, and verdant mountains. This very attraction has doomed many islands to rampant overdevelopment, pollution, and an eradication of indigenous fauna, flora, and culture, something that Clarke recounted again and again in the book. Nowhere was this more obvious than in the Caribbean, where too many islands had become what he called "mooring blocks" for cruise liners, lands where the locals had been encouraged to sell their precious property, spent the money, and in the end became maids, cleaning buildings they couldn't afford on land that their ancestors used to own. Parrot-haunted jungles, crumbling colonial forts, and small fishing villages were razed to make way for condominiums, exclusive resort hotels, and fast food restaurants.

Some like the near timeless, open-air museum quality of some islands, islands which became natural attics, holding all manner of relics. Islanders in Vanuatu walk daily among the ruins of World War II equipment, hoping for the Americans to return. The South Pacific island of Kosrae's Christians - nearly the entirely island - faithfully preserve nearly identical services to those brought to them by 19th century New England missionaries. The private island of Niihau in the Hawaiian Islands preserves some of the last native Hawaiian Polynesian culture and many otherwise extinct Hawaiian plants.

Others were attracted to islands because a small number of people or even one man or woman could make a huge difference there, their actions remembered for years, decades, or centuries later. Des Alwi, an entrepreneur and preservationist, is adored on the island of Banda Neira and will likely be remembered by islanders for many decades to come for his numerous great deeds on behalf of the islanders. On Espiritu Santo (part of Vanuatu in the South Pacific) Clarke met the local man Tommy Wells, a person who had worked with the Americans when they had a bustling military base during World War II, who not only pined for the Americans to return but remembered with great affection two individual American serviceman, one of whom Wells found out died on Guadalcanal and still caused him sadness. Clarke wondered if anywhere in the world were memories of this man, Captain Burke, fresh enough in anyone else's mind to evoke tears. Wells told his children and grandchildren about Burke, so it is possible that a century from now he will still be remembered.

Other islands were attractive because of the sense of community and belonging that they offered. Though he sneered a little at pensioners who moved to islands, thinking that they suddenly belong to a community because they exchanged pleasantries with store employees, many islands, often very isolated and underdeveloped ones, like Utila near the coast of Honduras and Eigg off the coast of Scotland, were places where everyone knows everyone else, children are safe to run around and play without worries, towns and communities so small that one can recognize who was coming by their familiar silhouette in the dark or the sound of the engine of their particular car.

Still other islands are not quite resort islands but comfortable vacation islands, ones that offer many of the attractions of islands I just mentioned, if only for a few weeks or months each summer, back in the days when families took long vacations together, mingling with the locals who lived there year round and becoming friends with them. These islands - like Fishers Island near Long Island and Campobello Island (a Canadian island just north of Maine) - also offered shared experiences for families who returned year after year and became fixed in the memory of their children and their children, associated with happy times, good food, and summer romances.

Others come to islands for a marvelous sense of isolation. The Roosevelt loved Campobello because of its relative lack of telephones and electricity. Many flee to Crusoe's (or rather Alexander Selkirk's that is, the inspiration for Crusoe) island of Mas a Tierra for its profound sense of isolation, located as it is four hundred miles off the coast of Chile, perhaps to escape financial or romantic problems at home.

A well-written book with nice maps and a great bibliography.

A rich and fascinating trip.......2002-08-11

One might think that Thurston Clarke is compiling his travel books by geographical feature, first a book on the equator and now one on islands. We might expect his next to be about the Tropic of Cancer or salt marshes. Whatever it is, I suspect it will be a worthy and fascinating concoction.

While he writes this book from the perspective of what he calls a "islomane", one who fascinated with islands, it makes compelling reading for someone who lacks this particular fascination. As a prairie boy I am more fascinated by mountains than islands, but because Clarke weaves so much collateral information into his text, you will never be anything less than fully engaged. He visits all kinds of islands from tourist meccas to summer cottages to northern coal mines. These journeys seem terribly difficult, but Clarke never lets the encumbrances of modern travel get in the way of his examination of both the fascination he has with islands in general and the particulars of what makes any given island worth visiting. He comes to many surprisingly interesting generalizations about the nature of islands and islanders (that for example changes on islands are usually more permanent than elsewhere).

As a traveler he reminds me of Paul Theroux, and certainly his writing is on that level, though without the annoying flashes of ego that often make Theroux painful. It is interesting to compare Clarke's island jaunts with Theroux's Happy Isle of Oceania. Both authors distinctly render the sense of desperation that emerges from these isolated places, but Clarke appears to have a greater sense of the humanity of the people who inhabit them. Perhaps it takes an islomane to truly empathize with those likewise afflicted.

Much as I enjoyed this book, I would also recommend Clarke's book on his travels around the equator. I found these places more interesting, and the quality of the writing is just as high.

Book Description

In Lincoln's Constitution Daniel Farber leads the reader to understand exactly how Abraham Lincoln faced the inevitable constitutional issues brought on by the Civil War. Examining what arguments Lincoln made in defense of his actions and how his words and deeds fit into the context of the times, Farber illuminates Lincoln's actions by placing them squarely within their historical moment. The answers here are crucial not only for a better understanding of the Civil War but also for shedding light on issues-state sovereignty, presidential power, and limitations on civil liberties in the name of national security-that continue to test the limits of constitutional law even today.

If you think Dubya should be impeached..........2007-07-11

REad this book. It will make you realize that some President's have gone much farther in their goal to make America safe and protect the Constitution. Of course Lincoln's example may not always be the best guide to PResidential actions.

An interesting read with some problems.......2005-01-08

My actual rating would be 3.5 if possible because the book is somewhere between good and very good. I've long been interested in the relationship between the Civil War and the Constitution. At its base the Civil War was a constitutional struggle between two ideologies: the compact theory and the popular theory of the nature of the Constitution. Ultimately this conflict could not be resolved through politics and war became necessary.

The best part of Farber's book is the first half dealing with secession. Farber examines the debate over states' rights and ultimately secession from the Founding up to the actual secession of 1860. By doing this, Farber shows that both sides of the debate had valid historical support for their theories, though he personally sides with Lincoln. All in all, this section provides a clear, concise presentation of secession and its history.

My problem with this book comes from Farber's intent to retroactively validate the constitutionality of Lincoln's presidential power. Lincoln used presidential power in unprecedented ways. Farber notes that the exercise of presidential power had been practically non-existent, with Jackson being the only user of it in a significant manner, and, even then, it did not approach Lincoln's actions. Farber presents Lincoln's theories and support that he gave for his actions, but he goes further and uses subsequent development in executive power to validate most of Lincoln's actions. The problem with this is that in many ways it was the experience under Lincoln that shaped our evolving understanding of executive authority. For example, the three cases from the late 19th century were clearly influenced by Lincoln and the Civil War experience. Farber quotes from Jackson's Youngstown concurrence, but he should consider Frankfurter's opinion. Frankfurter noted that our understanding of the war and presidential powers have been substantially influenced by historical development and political understandings outside of Court opinions. Fundamentally, our understanding of the president's power starts with Lincoln and using subsequent developments built upon Lincoln's actions to validate those actions is akin to using the Equal Protection Clause to retroactively validate the Emancipation Proclamation.

In its entirety, I found the book thought-provoking. It provides an interesting presentation of the constitutional issues involved in the Civil War and Farber supports his position compellingly, though I find holes in some of it.

Highly Recommended.......2003-09-27

The Civil War was, at its heart, a constitutional struggle. Although it was fought out on bloody battlefields, the causes for which the opposing armies risked their lives were starkly different views of fundamental legal principles. As the war raged on, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis came to symbolize the two sides of the constitutional debate, but their voices were only parts of a great chorus that, at various times, included Hamilton and Jefferson, Wilson and Madison, Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Jackson, Douglas, and even the irresolute James Buchanan. The overriding constitutional question, of course, was whether a state could lawfully secede from the Union. But this great question was intertwined with other fundamental questions: Did the Constitution create a national government for the benefit of "the people of the United States" or a mere league or compact of independent states? To what extent did the Constitution protect slavery and slave owners against the anti-slavery agitation of northerners? What action, if any, could the United States government (and particularly its chief executive) properly take in response to the military challenge of secession?
Farber addresses all these questions, and many more. He is a legal scholar with impressive credentials. More than that, he is a historian who understands the importance of using history in constitutional interpretation. In seeking answers to the thorny constitutional problems expressed in the war, he weighs the contrary arguments, explores their strengths and weaknesses, and offers nuanced analyses. He believes, for example, that the South's claim to the right of secession was wrong, but that it was not a frivolous claim. He believes that Lincoln's responses to the war were, on the whole, firmly within his constitutional authority, although he did occasionally stray into unconstitutional action. The remarkable fact about Lincoln's conduct of the war, Farber believes, is that the President was able to maintain a sense of perspective. He clearly saw that "the times demanded extraordinary measures," but he did not forget that "the long-term goal was not merely to crush the rebellion but to save the nation as a bastion of liberty."
Many academics are, to put it kindly, miserable writers who cannot escape the straight-jackets of narrowly departmentalized thinking and crabbed professional jargon. Farber is a refreshing exception. He writes clearly, concisely, and gracefully. His prose should be a model for all academic writers.
It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a book so much. I highly recommend "Lincoln's Constitution" to all who seek a greater understanding of the great legal principles that lay just below the surface of the bloodiest war in American history.

Popular legal history at its best.......2003-06-18

"Lincoln's Constitution" first examines the Constitution as Lincoln found it at the beginning of his administration, with emphasis on state - federal relations, including the right of secession. Like most modern legal scholars, Prof. Faber clearly sides with Lincoln on this (and most other constitutional issues), but he is also careful to show that believers in states' rights and secession had good historical reasons for their views. With this background, the author then examines the Constitutional issues Lincoln faced in dealing with the unprecedented challenge of waging the Civil War. Here the focus shifts to presidential war powers and civil liberties in time of war. The author points out where Lincoln was right (in light of later precedents) and where he was wrong. Again, the views of both his supporters and his critics are fully examined. Finally, Faber clearly explains the relevance of all these issues for citizens of our own time.
Authoritative, up-to-date and balanced, "Lincoln's Constitution" is an essential supplement to J.G. Randall's classic (but now dated) "Constitutional Problems Under Lincoln."

Great Book, but heavy history.......2003-05-13

Being interested in the legality of Lincoln calling on troops to supress a domestic and not a foreign threat is appealing to me, since it was, what I thought, a violation of the powers of the presidency. Grabbing this, I thought it might bring aboveboard his actions. The title is somewhat deceieving in that the first 4 1/2 chapters discuss the founding fathers and their ideaology on various presidential powers and states' rights: intriguing to read, but way too much history of the constitutional debates. Finishing the book, I came to realize this was the author's way of defending his conclusions: that Lincoln did not abuse his powers and acted within the bounderies of constitutional law (though the last chapter discussing Lincoln's enfringement on Free Speech is hard to swallow as legal.) Still a fascinating read on the topic of constitutional power,that is just as important today as it was then.

Cuba: The Land and the People.......2001-12-20

This book falls well short of its title's promise. The photographs give a fairly limited view of life in Cuba, and the accompanying captions (there is no additional text) add little to the reader's understanding of "the land and the people." The reason for this failure becomes apparent in the author's introduction, in which he acknowledges that he speaks little Spanish (and therefore was unable to communicate with most of the people he encountered), and the only experience he has with the country is the few trips he took to take his photographs.

Moreover, many of the photographs are unremarkable -- they look more like typical snapshots any tourist might take, rather than
the work of a professional photographer.

As a collection of four groups of seldom-seen sketches by Willem de Kooning, this book succeeds in showing another side of the artist most often recognized for his abstract expressionism in the 1940s. Created more recently during a period ranging from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, the collection predominantly exhibits his dexterity with raw charcoal and ink, though the last group highlights his subtle color techniques. In a hardbound binding, the collected works are preserved on pages with superior quality and unified design. An informative introductory essay provides deeper insight into the artist and his work. Perhaps the strongest group includes the rudimentary sketches of a nude in "Drawings with Eyes Closed" as well as the harrowing and compelling images in the "Crucifixion Drawings." In a style typical of abstract expressionism, these later pieces continue to show that de Kooning was interested in capturing the fluid energy and gestures of changing forms, without any intent to stabilize or focus. And since de Kooning was unwilling to state that any of his works were finished, we are left to contemplate the transformational essence of the creations by this artist fluent in reinvention. --Lucas Hilbert

Book Description

Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) regularly created series of drawings, sometimes continuing them intermittently over a decade. Despite de Koonings renown as a painter and draftsman, there have been no publications to look at selected groups of his drawings in depth. This book, and the traveling exhibition organized by The Drawing Center, New York, presents four of his drawing series, affording a closer view of de Koonings working process and his constant reinvention of mark-making.

The earliest series to be included, Folded Shirt on Laundry Paper, 1958, is figured by a calligraphic spareness and openness that lays bare a panoply of mark-making possibilities with brush and ink. The second series are twenty-four drawings from 1966 which the artist created with eyes closed. These works make clear just how totally interdependent de Koonings memory and drawing hand were. But for their documentation, they are indistinguishable from his drawings made with eyes open. Several of the drawings are of the Crucifixion, and this subject, unique for de Kooning, comprises the third group of drawings executed in the mid- and late-1960s. These drawings take fullest advantage of charcoals lush flexibility. The fourth group, almost never seen, is comprised of tracings made on large sheets of vellum of painting configurations that might be employed in subsequent works. Done from the late-1960s through the 1970s, these double-sided drawings are made startlingly complete by de Koonings subsequent improvisations added to them.
