Review A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (3 Volume Set) (Tauris Academic Resource) / I. B. Tauris:Embracing the whole of ancient history and literature for more than two thousand years, the three volumes of the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology provide a wealth of information on every significant figure mentioned by the Greek and Roman writers in the areas of history, philosophy, mathematics, the Arts, medicine, law, geography, architecture, and more. A full account of the works as well as the lives of the Greek and Roman writers is included. Painters, sculptors, and architects are treated at considerable length and an account is given of all their works extant or of which there is any record in the ancient writers. Care has been taken to separate articles on mythological subjects from those of an historical nature. Greek divinities are given under their Greek names and Italian divinities are given under their Latin names. The final volume contains chronological tables of Greek and Roman history, genealogical tables and a list of kings. The dictionary is especially useful for the lives of lesser-known writers. With contributors drawn from among the most distinguished scholars of the day the reissue of these volumes makes available once more an important and valuable work of classical scholarship.

Review The Works of Charles Babbage (11 Volume Set) (Works of Charles Babbage) / NYU Press:Charles Babbage is well described as the "pioneer of the computer", but he was far more than this: his mathematic, scientific, and engineering work is highly significant for its original approach to problem-solving while the economic, political, and theological writings show an incisive appreciation of contemporary debate, and justify the growing consensus which judges Babbage to be one of the most important and rigorous intellectual polymaths of his age. This edition contains his two major papers: Inessay on the calculus of functions, which established his reputation as a mathematician, and On the economy of machinery manufacturers, which was the first work of its kind to concentrate on the manufacturing industry-a turning point in economic writing. The New York University Press edition includes a comprehensive general introduction in Volume I. Textual notes by leading international experts in the field of Babbage scholarship, such as Professor I. Bernard Cohen, Emeritus Professor of the History of Science, University of Sydney; and Dr. J. A. M. Dubey, Dean of Engineering at the Polytechnic of the South bank, consider the world spectrum of the writings and put the works in context. All new texts are brought together by a comprehensive index providing easy reference to the complete works- a facility which will allow the integration of Babbage scholarship for the first time. [+]In addition to the standard pagination, the original page numbers have been retained to allow access from contemporary sources. there is also a comprehensive bibliography if works cited in the text- an essential reference tool for any serious scholar. The Works are illustrated throughout with the original diagrams, graphs, and line drawings. Volume 3 also contains 15 plates from Babbage's Calculating Engines (1889).

Review The 2007-2012 World Outlook for Commercial Cooking and Food Warming Equipment, Parts, and Attachments / ICON Group International, Inc.:This study covers the world outlook for commercial cooking and food warming equipment, parts, and attachments across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P. I. E. ), for the country in question (in millions of U. S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. [+]The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Review Master of the Game CD: Tales from a Republican Revolutionary / HarperAudio/ReganBooks:Over the last half century, few figures have played the game of American politics with the skill and zest of Trent Lott. As one of the chief architects of the modern conservative movement, he has been on the front lines of the Republican Party for more than thirty years, playing a key role in its ascension during the turbulent post-Watergate era. In this candid and compelling memoir, Lott recounts the formative events of his youth and the stories from his political life that have made him one of the most influential and respected lawmakers in the country. From his difficult decision to support Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan in the 1976 Republican primary to his fruitful working partnership with Democratic leader Tom Daschle during the Clinton impeachment and September 11, Lott traces the inner workings of congressional life, detailing the vital role that he has played in guiding the Republican Party and American forward. With clear-eyed candor, Lott also discusses his last days as Senate majority leader, describing his remarks at Strom Thurmond's hundredth birthday party and the chaotic events that followed, which ended his tenure as the Senate's most powerful Republican. At once riveting and poignant, Herding Cats is the story of political life unlike any other—a life marked by the rise of an individual and the triumph of a party.

Review Hemingway: The Postwar Years and the Posthumous Novels (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture) / Cambridge University Press:When Ernest Hemingway committed suicide in 1961 he left four unfinished works-A Moveable Feast, Islands in the Stream, The Garden of Eden, and an untitled work on his travels in Africa. The edited versions that have come down to readers and scholars of Hemingway appear as distinct, disjointed texts that fit oddly into his oeuvre. Through extensive literary detective work Burwell has uncovered substantial evidence that Hemingway in fact designed the three published works as a trilogy, what she terms "his own Portrait of the Artist.
