Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence: Theories, Methods, and Technologies (Intelligent Robotics and ...
Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi

The MIT Press, 2008

New approaches to artificial intelligence spring from the idea that intelligence emerges as much from cells, bodies, and societies as it does from evolution, development, and learning. Traditionally, artificial intelligence has been concerned with reproducing the abilities of human brains; newer approaches take inspiration from a wider range of biological structures that that are capable of autonomous self-organization. Examples of these new ...

Cliffs Notes, 2001

Best AP Biology Review Guide Around
I've reviewed and used all the other review guides during the last 10 years that I've taught AP Biology and this one is absolutely the best. It's the one I order every year for my AP Biology students. I recommend it highly.

BIOS Disassembly Ninjutsu Uncovered (Uncovered series)

everything you need to tweak the bios in your computer
I did some work with the PC-AT BIOS and BIOS extension roms 25 years ago, so when I found out about this book I ordered it immediately. Having read 1/2 of it and having built some of the software (chapter 7) on the cdrom, I give this book 5 stars, but with a caveat. This book and its cdrom are heavily Microsoft Windows-centric. Doing things with the files on the cdrom using linux or ...

Synthetics, Mineral Oils, and Bio-Based Lubricants: Chemistry and Technology (Chemical Industries)

1 review

CRC, 2005

A True Classic
Outstanding works on this subject are hard to find. This work by LR Rudnick, and scores of expert contributors, is absolutely the best and most complete compilation on the subject of synthetic lubricants I've seen. Of course, you'd expect to find thorough treatments of the widely used polyalphaolefins, polyol esters, polybutenes, silicones, etc., but here you'll even find in-depth treatment of ...

Bios: Biopolitics and Philosophy (Posthumanities)
Roberto Esposito

Univ Of Minnesota Press, 2008

Roberto Esposito is one of the most prolific and important exponents of contemporary Italian political theory. Bíos -his first book to be translated into English-builds on two decades of highly regarded thought, including his thesis that the modern individual-with all of its civil and political rights as well as its moral powers-is an attempt to attain immunity from the contagion of the extraindividual, namely, the community. In Bíos, ...

Fawcett, 2003

Another MUST READ from this author!
This book is a bold statement about the state of our world. Smallpox and anthrax are the new weapons of choice for anyone who wants to infect large populations around the world. It's a great book and everyone should read it just to know what's out there.

Carol Levine

McGraw-Hill/Dushkin, 2005

An excellent text
The most recent (and, I think, the best) edition of this book is an excellent text for a biomedical ethics class in college, medical school, or law school. It would probably be considered elementary for such a course in a graduate philosophy program. It is also a very good, well-written and complete book for interested citizens to find out about the most pressing issues in the field.

Textbook of Bio-identical Hormones

1 review

Foundation for anti-aging research LLC, 2007

a pompous and inaccurate piece of trash
If I owned the copyright for "textbook" I would have sued this author for fraud. This book is nothing more than a series of poorly written (by what appears to be a ghost writer) anecdotes. Their is nothing in here that would train a doctor or nurse on the essential art of treating hormonally challenged men and women. I was embarrassed by the lack of real science and endocrinology. I am hoping ...

Breaking Through the BIOS Barrier: The Definitive BIOS Optimization Guide for PCs

Adrian Wong

Prentice Hall PTR, 2004

It's the only one.
This book may not cover every setting available on your motherboard but there is no other book that I know of that does. It's amazing to me that you get so little information about the bios even when you buy a brand new motherboard. You can hunt up some information online but this book is the best one I know of because it is the only one I know of that provides this information. I have used this ...

Cosmos, Bios, Theos: Scientists Reflect on Science, God, and the Origins of the Universe, Life, and Homo ...

6 reviews

Open Court Publishing Company, 1991

one (sort of) agnostic's take on this book
This book is a thought-provoking collection of essays exploring issues relating to science and theology. Or, in other words, life, the universe, and ... never mind. This book is probably not going to appeal to those with set, rigid, doctrinaire views on either science or religion. Nor is there an effort to convert you to anything, really. The essays are varied, interesting, and you can probably ...

Signs of Life is the first book to focus exclusively on art that uses biotechnology as its medium, defining and discussing the theoretical and historical implications of bio art and offering examples of work by prominent artists.

How Far From Red October? Does It Matter?
I picked up this book because I'm a Tom Clancy fan since the Jack Ryan days, and needed to pass some time....not usually a ficiton reader, I've always managed to admire Clancy's use of his knowledge of intelligence and military operations and hardware to weave a compelling story. "Cold War" is a book I picked up hurriedly expecting it to be on the topic of the actual Cold War, which it is not, ...

Enrique Granados: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in Music)
Carol A. Hess

Greenwood Press, 1991

Enrique Granados (1867-1916) was one of the first modern Spanish composers to achieve international recognition. During a 1916 visit to the United States his opera Goyescas was premiered by the Metropolitan Opera and his symphonic poem, Dante, by the Chicago Symphony. Granados was also especially admired in Paris, where he knew Saint-Saens, d'Indy, and Faure. He had composed a remarkable body of work and was also at the height of his career as a ...
