Richard Barber
Bestiary: Being an English Version of the Bodleian Library, Oxford, MS Bodley 764

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Bestiaries are a particularly characteristic product of medieval England, and give a unique insight into the medieval mind. Richly illuminated and lavishly produced, they were luxury objects for noble families. Their three-fold purpose was to provide a natural history of birds, beasts and fishes, to draw moral examples from animal behaviour (the industrious bee, the stubborn ass), and to reveal a mystical meaning - the phoenix, for instance, as a symbol of Christ`s resurrection. This Bestiary, MS Bodley 764, was produced around the middle of the thirteenth century and is of singular beauty and interest. The lively illustrations have the freedom and naturalistic quality of the later Gothic style, and make dazzling use of colour. This book reproduces the 136 illuminations to the same size and in the same place as the original manuscript, fitting the text around them. Richard Barber`s translation from the original Latin is a delight to read, capturing both the serious intent of the… [detailed...]

John Sutherland
Bestsellers: A Very Short Introduction

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Lady Chatterley`s Lover. The Blue Lagoon. Portnoy`s Complaint. The Da Vinci Code. For the last century, the tastes and preferences of the common reader have been reflected in the American and British bestseller lists, and this Very Short Introduction takes an engaging look through the lists to reveal what we have been reading--and why. John Sutherland shows that bestseller lists monitor one of the strongest pulses in modern literature and are therefore worthy of serious study. Exploring the relationship between bestsellers and the fashions, ideologies, and cultural concerns of the day, the book includes short case-studies and lively summaries of bestsellers through the years: from In His Steps - now almost totally forgotten, but the biggest all-time bestseller between 1895 and 1945- - to Gone with the Wind, The Andromeda Strain, and The Da Vinci Code. Discussing both classic and contemporary novels, alongside some surprising titles and long-forgotten names. Sutherland lifts the lid on… [detailed...]

Beta-Lactamase: Enzyme, Antibiotic resistance, Beta- lactam antibiotic, Penicillin, Cephalosporin, Cephamycin, Carbapenem, Ertapenem, Antibiotic, Beta- lactam, Gram- positive bacteria, Gut flora

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some bacteria and are responsible for their resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillins, cephalosporins (are relatively resistant to beta-lactamase), cephamycins, and carbapenems (ertapenem). These antibiotics have a common element in their molecular structure: a four-atom ring known as a beta-lactam. The lactamase enzyme breaks that ring open, deactivating the molecule`s antibacterial properties.n Beta-lactam antibiotics are typically used to treat a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Beta-lactamases produced by gram-negative organisms are usually secreted. Beta-lactamase may be clinically beneficial when orally administered to preserve the natural intestinal flora during the parenteral administration of antibiotics. `This could provide protection against a broad range of nosocomial pathogens,` per Dr. Usha Stiefel at the 47th annual Interscience Conference of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.

Betamax: Videotape, Sony, U- matic, VHS, JVC, Guard band, Azimuth recording, Crosstalk (electronics), Beta (letter), Sanyo, Toshiba, Pioneer Corporation, … Radio, Aiwa, NEC, Zenith Electronics, WEGA

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Betamax (sometimes called Beta) is a home videocassette tape recording format developed by ? Sony, released on May 10, 1975. The cassettes contain 1/2-inch (12.7mm)-wide ? videotape in a design similar to the earlier, professional 3/4-inch (19.05mm) ? U-matic format. The format is generally considered obsolete, though it is still used in specialist applications by a small minority of people. Like the rival videotape format VHS (introduced in September 1976[1] by ? JVC), Betamax had no ? guard band and used ? azimuth recording to reduce ? crosstalk. According to Sony`s own history webpages, the name came from a double meaning: beta being the Japanese word used to describe the way signals were recorded onto the tape, and from the fact that when the tape ran through the transport, it looked like the Greek letter ? beta (?). The suffix -max came from `maximum`, to suggest greatness. ? Sanyo marketed a version as Betacord, but this was also referred to casually as `Beta`. [detailed...]

Bethlehem Steel: Builder and Arsenal of America

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the late 19th century, rails from Bethlehem Steel helped build the United States into the world`s foremost economy. During the 1890s, Bethlehem became America`s leading supplier of heavy armaments, and by 1914, it had pioneered new methods of structural steel manufacture that transformed urban skylines. Demand for its war materials during World War I provided the finance for Bethlehem to become the world`s second-largest steel maker. As late as 1974, the company achieved record earnings of $342 million. But in the 1980s and 1990s, through wildly fluctuating times, losses outweighed gains, and Bethlehem struggled to downsize and reinvest in newer technologies. By 2001, in financial collapse, it reluctantly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Two years later, International Steel Group acquired the company for $1.5 billion. In Bethlehem Steel, Kenneth Warren presents an original and compelling history of a leading American company, examining the numerous factors contributing… [detailed...]

Betjeman: A Life

Description: John Betjeman was by far the most popular poet of the twentieth century, his collected poems sold more than two million copies. As poet laureate of England, he became a national icon, but behind the public man were doubts and demons. The poet best known for writing hymns of praise to athletic middle-class girls on the tennis courts led a tempestuous emotional life. For much of his fifty-year marriage to Penelope Chetwode, the daughter of a field marshal, Betjeman had a relationship with Elizabeth Cavendish, the daughter of the Duke of Devonshire and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret. Betjeman, a devout Anglican, was tormented by guilt about the storms this emotional triangle caused. Betjeman , published to coincide with the hundredth anniversary of the poet’s birth, is the first to use fully the vast archive of personal material relating to his private life, including literally hundreds of letters written by his wife about their… [detailed...]

Description: In this shocking exposA©, two government fraud experts reveal how private contractors have put the lives of countless American soldiers on the line while damaging our strategic interests and our image abroad. From the shameful war profiteering of companies like Halliburton/KBR to the sinister influence that corporate lobbyists have on American foreign policy, Dina Rasor and Robert H. Bauman paint a disturbing picture. Here they give the inside story on troops forced to subsist on little food and contaminated water, on officers afraid to lodge complaints because of Halliburton`s political clout, on millions of dollars in contractors` bogus claims that are funded by American taxpayers. Drawing on exclusive sources within government and the military, the authors show how money and power have conspired to undermine our fighting forces and threaten the security of our country.

Betraying Spinoza: The Renegade Jew Who Gave Us Modernity (Jewish Encounters)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1656, Amsterdam’s Jewish community excommunicated Baruch Spinoza, and, at the age of twenty–three, he became the most famous heretic in Judaism. He was already germinating a secularist challenge to religion that would be as radical as it was original. He went on to produce one of the most ambitious systems in the history of Western philosophy, so ahead of its time that scientists today, from string theorists to neurobiologists, count themselves among Spinoza’s progeny.In Betraying Spinoza, Rebecca Goldstein sets out to rediscover the flesh-and-blood man often hidden beneath the veneer of rigorous rationality, and to crack the mystery of the breach between the philosopher and his Jewish past. Goldstein argues that the trauma of the Inquisition’s persecution of its forced Jewish converts plays itself out in Spinoza’s philosophy. The excommunicated Spinoza, no less than his excommunicators, was responding to Europe’s first experiment with racial anti-Semitism.Here is a Spinoza both… [detailed...]

By the time he was sixteen he was already taking action from his schoolmates, their parents, even his teachers. He graduated to running high-roller excursions to Las Vegas, where he plied his wealthy clients with sex and drugs and watched as the casinos made a fortune on their losses.

Description: For Betsy and Me, featuring city dweller Chet Tibbit`s day-to-day stuggles and achievements, Cole stripped his style down to its bare essentials, creating a strip that sparkles with economy, wit, and charm. What gave the strip its edge, however, was Cole`s innovative storytelling. As R.C. Harvey writes in his introduction, `Cole`s storytelling manner was unique: the comedy arose from the pictures` contradicting the narrative prose. Cole`s fatuous protagonist and narrator would say one thing in the captions accompanying the drawings, but the pictures of his actions showed the opposite, revealing [him] to be a trifle pretentious and wholly delusional`. Harvey`s intro also serves as a biographical sketch and sheds light on the circumstances surrounding Cole`s suicide. [detailed...]
