Name of the World
The acclaimed author of Jesus' Son and Already Dead returns with a beautiful, haunting, and darkly comic novel. The Name of the World is a mesmerizing portrait of a professor at a Midwestern university who is lost in grief after an accident takes the lives of his wife and child and who must painfully and gradually rediscover life. Michael Reed is living a posthumous life. In spite of outward appearances--he holds a respectable university teverying position; he is an articulate and attractive addition to local social life--he's a dead man walking. Nothing can touch Reed, nothing can move him, although he observes with a mordant clarity the lives whirling vigorously around him. Of his recent bereavement, nearly four years earlier, he observes, 'I'm speaking as I'd speak of a change in the earth's climate, or the recent war.' Facing the unwelcome end of his temporary stint at the university, Reed finds himself forced 'to act like somebody who cares what happens to him. ' Tentatively he begins to let himself make contact with a host of characters in this small academic town, souls who seem to have in common a tentativeness of their own. In this atmosphere characterized, as he says, 'by cynicism, occasional brilliance, and small, polite terror,' he manages, against all his expectations, to find people to light his way through his private labyrinth. Elegant and incisively observed, The Name of the World is Johnson at his best: poignant yet unsentimental, replete with the visionary imaginative detail for which his work is known. Here is a tour de force by one of the most astonishing writers at work today. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 460681002

Blue Pastures
With consummate craftsmanship, Mary Oliver has fashioned fifteen luminous prose pieces: of nature, of writing, of herself and those around her. She praises Whitman ('the brother I did not have') and denounces cuteness ('we are, none of use, cute'). She notes where the extraordinary is to be found ('it is more likely to stick to the risk-taker than the ticket-taker') and extols solitude ('creative work needs the whole sky to fly in, and no eye watching until it comes to that certainty which it aspires to'). Nature speaks to her, and she speaks to nature ('I put my face close to the lily, where it stands just above the grass, and give it a good greeting from the stem of my heart'). Says Mary Oliver, 'This book is biased, opinionated; also it is joyful, and probably there's despair here too - can a life slide forward sixty years without it? But the reader will find the pleasures more certain, and more constant, than the rills of despond. Thus it has turned out in my life so far, influenced by the sustaining passions: love of the wild world, love of literature, love for and from another person'. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 460687101

Solid Support Oligosaccharide Synthesis and Combinatorial Carbohydrate Libraries
Thorough coverage of recent developments in the field of solid support oligosaccharide synthesis Solid-phase synthesis of carbohydrates presents unique challenges to synthetic chemists and currently represents one of the hottest areas of research in bioorganic chemistry. Solid Support Oligosaccharide Synthesis and Combinatorial Carbohydrate Libraries addresses the exciting expectation that solid-phase assembly of oligosaccharides will have a fundamental impact on the field of glycobiology. This publication details the methodologies currently investigated for the attachment of carbohydrates to beads, synthesis including coupling strategies, and removal of the product from beads. With chapters written by eminent contributing authors, the material explores different synthetic strategies, glycosylation protocols, the use of solid supports versus soluble polymeric supports, and 'on-resin' analytical methods. Tremendous progress in the field has set the stage for Solid Support Oligosaccharide Synthesis and Combinatorial Carbohydrate Libraries to provide a wealth of information on such topics as: *Specific oligosaccharide structures used in signal transduction processes *Preparation and screening of glycopeptide libraries *Solid-phase carbohydrate synthesis Covering state-of-the-art developments in the field, Solid Support Oligosaccharide Synthesis and Combinatorial Carbohydrate Libraries is a comprehensive resource for bioorganic and organic chemists, biochemists, and medicinal chemists. - Books Reading - New - 461720914

Effective Behavior in Organizations (REP) with PowerWeb
Effective Behavior in Organizations is a combination of text and cases with experiential exercises in the Instructor's Manual. This book seeks to provide a bridge between theory and practice by emphasizing learning at both cognitive and experiential levels. It is also unique because it covers group behavior before individual behavior. This sequencing was chosen to parallel the experience of the student within the classroom. The authors have found that early in the course students worry about finding their place within a group. Once secure in their group, students are ready to look at themselves and to explore together aspects of their personal systems. - Books Reading - New - 461120178
