| Most people don't work the way Jim wants them to, don't think that way, and they never will. There're myriads of things in the way of sanity when developing intellectual assets as a part of collective efforts. Yes, we're inherentily egotistical and inefficient. However, this "OS" will not help it. The success of collective efforts will continue to be determined through the good old positives (leadership, drive, personal charisma, excellency of communication), productive negatives (challenge, competition, need for $$$), unproductive negatives (fear, intimidation, anxiety)... and a lot of luck. Not through the protocols and behavior agreements. We're humans, not machines. Since we're humans the only real help we can offer ourselves is investing in our human growth.
I'm a big fan of "Dynamics of Software Development" and I expected this book to be 10 years better than that. It isn't.
<br />
<br />It's like buying a favourite band's new CD and finding that you really liked the old work in the days of vinyl. And the CD collects dust.
<br />
<br />I bought this book and tried to read it many times. I've willed it to be engaging, I wanted it to be good, I've given time over to reading it, but it's not engaging and feels bloated.
<br />
<br />Sure there are some great ideas, but they're fighting to get out of the "stuff" around it.
<br />
<br />Looking forward to the next book Jim. I hope it's the one I was looking for.
It'is one of the most wonderful books I ever read about teams. What I mostly appreciate is that talks about teams in a language a developer or an engineer can understand (bypassing the resistances and prejudices that technicians have treating emotions, motivations, groups and so on) and usually it's a nightmare for me to explain them that poor performance are not simply related to task assignments or character or people smartness...
<br />Definitely a great book.

| Gosh, there's a clever acronym offered by the book - BEQUEST = Building, Environmental QUality Evaluation for SusTainability. It is explained as offering a reworking of urban areas. So that a distinctive urban culture might emerge, in a spatially compact form. Accompanied by heavy use of energy efficient public transport. Explained in this way, it is certainly desirable in many European cities. Or American ones, for that matter.
<br />
<br />Building design is meant to enable most of these properties. So that a building would take full advantage of natural daylighting and ventilation, and have super-insulation. Reducing the overall energy needs of its occupants. Plus, simply making taller buildings helps increase the compactness of the overall city, and the efficiency of roads and public transport. |

| This is a must-read for anyone interested in any aspect of HIV laboratory protocol. By far the best book on the market! Makes a wonderful reference for any lab. Highly recommended! |

| Personally I think "DNA Repair Protocol: Eukaryotic Systems" is a great academic book based on my over ten years of research experiences in Genetic Toxicology. This book provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for studying manifold aspects of the eukaryotic responses to genotoxic damage, including a lot of useful tips in handling all kinds of DNA repair experiments. Compared with Friedberg's textbook "DNA Repair and Mutagenesis", which comprehensively covers all fundamental knowledge about DNA damage, mutagenesis and DNA repair, this book focused on detailed experimental protocols and new techniques, plus a wonderful and concise introduction and explanation of each methods. In my opinion, this book refreshments my background knowledge, gives me an overview of recent progress in new methods and techniques, and ignites some new ideas to pursue further studies in this active field. Taken together, I think this is an essential handbook for professors and scientists in DNA damage and repair field and other related fields. |
