	Introduction To Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
	By: Yunus A. Cengel ISBN: 0070114986 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Release Date: 01 November, 1996 Bioscience book rank: 702911	Very difficult reading. You must navigate pages of "fluff" reading just to get to an important point. Skip the wording and get to the point please!!! The example problems do not even start to prepare you for the chapter problems.....never mind the review problems!! This book will give you a very basic idea of what is going on but you must spend too much time re-reading most sections to understand what this guy is talking about. The book invites its readers to a boring ride into the world of thermodynamics. The lengthy texts are trying desperately to draw its readers a clear picture of this popular science but only make matter worse. The exercises of this book seem difficult and time consuming not because the concepts are hard to grasp but only due to lack of explainatary examples.

	Transfer Point Nice
	By: P.N. Dedeaux ISBN: 1562012584 Publisher: Blue Moon Books Release Date: 09 November, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 637296	It is a very sexual book. Lots of pain inflicted on the two girls. I have read better but have also read a lot worse. It is very descriptive. Everything imaginable and un is used to inflict this pain. If you are faint of heart don't even read it. It is one of the few I have read where you somewhat feel that these two girls deserve what they get and enjoy getting it. If you enjoy the depiction of a lot of pain with your sexual fantasies, this book is a must read. The ordeals that the two young women in the novel go through would make most grown men whimper. Throughout the book they are subjected to severe whippings, canings and beatings. Dedeaux subjects his main characters to some esoteric, exotic and creative tortures as well. Well written and vulgar, 'Transfer Point-Nice' is truly a classic of the genre. 'Transfer Point-Nice' is a must read for men (and women) who love women, but enjoy fantasies in which they are humiliated, abused, tortured and used sexually against their wills. Vikki and Joy are the perfect abuse victims. Dedeaux describes them splendidly and doesn't hesitate to exaggerate the two girls most important (for the novel's purposes) features: their enormous breasts and asses. Larger than life, the two promiscuous, bi-sexual sluts embody the word "SEX." The novel chronicles the painful adventures of the two young (they are only 16 years old) wenches, from the south shore of France, where they prostitute themselves and thus draw the wrath of the local pimp, to the deserts of the Middle East, where they are held captive by oriental white slavers. No matter where they find themselves, there is no shortage of people who want to punish, ravish, use, and abuse their luscious, sturdy young bodies. A nice touch I thought, was the fact that there is almost! no vaginal sex in the book. Instead, the girls are sodomized again and again, thus providing their betters with pleasure while experiencing nothing but pain and humiliation themselves. To top it all off, the girls are true masochists. On the surface, they protest the treatment they are subjected to. On a deeper level, they enjoy it and understand that they are physically and mentally built for torture and sexual abuse. They are painsluts in the truest sense of the word. In 'Transfer Point-Nice' Dedeaux has created two perfect victims on which we can inflict our more violent, cruel and sadistic sexual fantasies.
	The Artist's Source Book: 80 Watercolor Painting References: Includes Transfer Paper and Templates (Artist's Source Book)
	By: Walter Foster ISBN: 1560109424 Publisher: Walter Foster Release Date: 01 May, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 202523	This book is cool. It is filled with watercolor paintings to practice with. But, along with these paintings, it has templates for most all of them, so if you love to paint, but can't draw very well, it is a wonderful resource. They also supply you with transfer paper. However, I find it doesn't work that well. One way of achieving similar results is tracing with clear plastic and then using a light box to draw the image on your paper. One good resource for the right kind of plastic is <br />Walmart in the sewing department. It is the plastic that can be used for covering furniture, etc. <br /> <br />Getting back to the book, I love all Walter Foster books and this is an excellent reference for watercolor paintings.

	Technology Transfer for Entrepreneurs: A Guide to Commercializing Federal Laboratory Innovations
	By: Clifford M. Gross, Joseph P. Allen ISBN: 0275980839 Publisher: Praeger Publishers Release Date: 30 December, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 544508	The book, despite the other reviewer's comments, is excellent for its purpose: to provide a roadmap for the entrepreneur to find and commercialize technology from federal labs. The Baye-Dole Act and its companion, the Stevenson-Wydler Act, are extremely important to technology transfer. Their legislative history is currently playing a large role in the debate over government rights over Abbott Labs Norvir drug. Understanding the legislative intent and purpose of the act will provide greater clarity to the entrepreneur as to what he can do with government created technology.<p>The book provides the tools necessary to find and license technology without useless surfing on the web. If you already know that the Federal government sponsors R&D, that Federal labs often collaborate with private companies and individuals, and that there are laws that govern these activities, this book is not likely to be of much value to you.<p>Of the book's 252 pages, 101 are verbatim recitations of public law that can easily be retrieved from the FirstGov web site. Another 25 pages contain cursory descriptions of various Federal labs that look as if they were captured directly from the home pages of the labs' web sites. Much of this information is too general, out of date, or both. For example, R&D funding information is presented at the Agency level (e.g., DOD, NASA, DOE), rather than the lab level, and, despite the book's 2003 publication date, the budget numbers are from FY98 (as I write this, the FY05 budget is being debated). <p>In a chapter entitled "Property Rights and Their Imperative" the authors provide an exhaustive, but essentially useless, exposition on the historical precursors of the various laws affecting current Federal R&D practices (do we really care that in the mid-80's "...Senator Dole became increasingly frustrated with continued bureaucratic resistance to Bayh-Dole..."?).<p>Other chapters provide freshman-level overviews of nano-technology, patent law, and, oddly enough, bibliometrics.<p>In sum, you can probably find more current and useful information in 15 minutes surfing the web.
	Manhattan Transfer
	By: John E. Stith ISBN: 1587154870 Publisher: Wildside Press Release Date: February, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 944787	Manhattan Transfer is a poor mix of some reasonably good hard scifi ideas with nearly trivialized surroundings. I often thought of the movie Armageddon (which I did not like) while reading this book. Stith doesn't have the tear-jerking moments so prominent in Armageddon, but he certainly manages the Hollywood-style stereotyped characters, and the lack of depth with his science fiction. <br /> <br />Many of the problems with the book are obvious early on; after terrible happenings on the island of Manhattan, Stith describes many scenes where inhabitants look about them, and somehow see clearly what is happening on the city's horizons (and, no, the city is not leveled; all the buildings are still in place). Can you imagine, in Manhattan, of all places? The city's residents are amazingly controlled during this terror, another piece of simplification that just doesn't work. The book is full of such trivializations. Even when it looks as if it will go somewhere interesting, Stith always manages to reduce the story to something oversimplified and therefore dull and uninteresting. <br /> <br />Unless you like fast reads without much content (so why bother), for hugely better hard scifi, having some similarities to Manhattan Transfer (at least with the aliens), try Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky". One of the other many better scifi writers to go to is Jack McDevitt. Has the spirit of the Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon tales. But since the book came out, there is a poignant note for American readers. When Manhattan is captured by aliens and put inside a vast spaceship, with cities captured from other races, the humans go to the highest building to see these other cities. That building is one of those in the World Trade Center. And later, when our intrepid humans tunnel out to another alien city, they get their bearings by looking for the tallest towers of Manhattan.<p>If this book is even made into a movie, certain scenes will have to be altered from the book's. This original and facinating story ranks in my top ten favorite sci-fi novels. I rate it with some of Asimov's masterpieces. I've read it three times.
