Integrating China into the Global Economy
Published in Unknown Binding by Brookings Inst Pr (E) (December, 2001)
Author: Nicholas R. Lardy
Average review score:

How to integrate China into the Global Economy ?
Globalization is the hot topic and major concerns for every government and enterprises in 2002.

How China can integrate into the Global ecomony ?
And How Hong Kong can still alive when facing the competition with China in 2003?

Mr. Zhu Rongji (Prime Minister of China) has spoken to all elite people and officials when trip to Hong Kong in November, 2002.

Hong Kong is facing the highest un-empolyment percentage in 2002 and it is over 8% of the total population now.

How to make Hong Kong can be rapid changing in the next decade? There are no industrial development as before due the higher costs than other provinces in China. So China will give them more pressure when getting the orders from Oversea's markets.

Reckon you can see the speeches of " Zhu Rongji " in his last trip to Hong Kong.

China and Hong Kong are the Business Partners since 1983.
But now they are the competitor in every business development.
So how Hong Kong can stay alive when facing the Global economy?

Hong Kong can only run their own way and don't let China copy their old ways.

Although it is not easy to go the new way, it is their own choice.
Don't think too late and must run from this minute.

E-commerce and E-business development is the only way to go and reckon it can work more faster than China's doer.

Hong Kong should be forgotten your doer's way and think to re-enginnering in your business structures and models.

Hard work is the old fashion for Hong Kong now.
New Fashion is the new ideas and new models when stepping into the E-business.

Hope Hong Kong's government can bring up all the elite people to come across the crisis of economy and deflation in the next decade.


Integrating Mind & Body: NLP for Better Golf - Driving
Published in Audio Cassette by Peak Performance Psychology for Golfers (01 January, 1998)
Authors: Se Publishing and Nicholas M. Rosa
Average review score:

Magical but real
I was not really a bad golfer but my driving shots were not always accurate and long; then I made a habit of listening to this tape.

What you need to do is listen to the tape using a 'trigger gesture' to remind you of a calm and confident state of mind. You can recall this feeling by doing the 'trigger gesture' on the tee box. It's easy and very effective. I enjoy my driving more than ever.

Though I've purchased a few similar self-hypnosis tapes/CDs (such as 'Golf: The Mind-Body Connection' by Tom Saunders, M.D. and 'Mental Management for Great Golf' by Dr. Bee Epstein-Shepherd) I think the 'Integrating Mind & Body for Better Golf' series are the best because of the 'trigger gesture' method.

NOTE: I usually put a glove on my left hand when I use my driver. So I put it on and hold my real driver when I listen.

Internal Medicine

The first truly comprehensive medical textbook I've seen.
I first came across this book last year when I was feverishly studying for my 4th year medical exams. What really excited me was that I could look things up in the index and actually find a paragraph or two explaining my query, no matter how obscure the reference. Textbooks like Harrisons baffle me; why would I want to spend 45 minutes looking at the ten different times my word has been mentioned when all I want to know is what it means and when its important.

Anyway I think this textbook is very well set out and thouroughly comprehensive. Obviously its not a bed-time read, but its really helpful when you're stumped by a fact in a multi-guess paper or you have some obscure fact to look up and present to your consultant.

I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. Right now I'm waiting on the next edition....I hope it comes in soon.

Into the Dark

Author: Nicholas Wilde
Average review score:

This story will not be easily forgotten
When I got this book out of the library, I never expected it to be so good. I sat down to read it late at night, after my family had gone to sleep, and I got chills. This book is not the obvious kind of scary book, with demons and ghouls. It goes much deeper than that. I could not put this book down. It changed the way I look at the world.

Introduction to Biocatalysis Using Enzymes and Microorganisms
Published in Hardcover by Cambridge University Press (March, 2003)
Authors: S. M. Roberts, Nicholas J. Turner, Andrew J. Willetts, and Michael K. Turner
Average review score:

An excellent intro to chemistry's future.
Although this book is, by the standards of technical progress these days, "old," it remains flawless in describing not only what was known then, but what remains the bulk of biocatalytic theory and practice now.

Since this synthetic approach has already demonstrated itself to be a cornerstone of so many industries (particularly the pharmaceutical industry) -- and since so many people don't know much about it and yet *fear* it, an understanding such as this book gives could not be more important to everyone -- especially scientists.

The author of this book succeeded in scoring a bullseye on a fast-moving target! Anyone interested in the chemistry of the future -- the chemistry that *already* is essential for perhaps most of our latest drugs should get this book.

One final kudo for this book: it's price is reasonable! Compare it to similar books on technical subjects. This kind of thing usually costs three or four times what this one does.

This book is the most accessible, informative book on a subject that has so far eluded other authors if they meant to speak to anyone but their peers.

Get it. You will not be sorry.


Iphigenia Among the Taurians (Performance Series)
Published in Paperback by Ivan R Dee, Inc. (September, 1997)
Authors: Euripides, Nicholas Rudall, and Bernard Sahlins
Average review score:

Euripides solves the mystery of Iphigenia after Aulis
At the end of "Iphigenia at Aulius," when the virgin daughter of Agamemnon is about to sacrificed offstage to appease the goddess Artemis, as the fatal blow is struck the young girl disappears and a stage appears in its place. Thus, at the last minute, Euripides refrains from suggesting a goddess demanded a human sacrifice. But what happened to the young girl? The dramatist provides his answer in "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" Artemis saved Iphigenia and brought her to the temple of the goddess in Tauris (which is in Thrace, although others take this to mean the Crimea). Meanwhile, her brother Orestes, still trying to appease the Furies for his crime of matricide, is ordered by the god Apollo to bring the statue of Artemis from Tauris to Athens. However, the Taurians have the quaint habit of sacrificing strangers to the goddess (so much for the goddess disdaining human sacrifice). Once again, Euripides is showing his disdain for Apollo; at first consideration you might think Apollo is setting up the reconciliation of brother and sister, but since it is up to the goddess Athena to help the pair, and Orestes's friend Pylades, to escape, the clearly implication is that Apollo wants Orestes dead.

"Iphigenia Among the Taurians" ("Iphigenia en Taurois," which is also translated as "Iphigenia in Tauris") is really more of a tragicomedy than a traditional Greek tragedy. Basically it consists of a key scene of recognition ("anagnorisis") and a clever escape by the main characters. The recognition scene between Orestes and Iphigenia is well done, and so atypical in that there is joy in the "anagnorisis" rather than pain or death (cf. "Oedipus the King"). "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" takes place after the Orestia trilogy by Aeschylus (Athena refers to the events of the final play), and one of the more interesting elements of this play is the idea that Orestes had been hallucinating when he was seeing the Furies pursuing him. This is a rather rational explanation for his behavior following the murder of Clytemnestra and Aegithus.

I was rather surprised to discover that Euripides wrote "Iphigenia Among the Taurians" in 413 BC, which was years before "Iphigenia at Aulis" was first performed in 406. I had naturally assumed that Euripides was following the character's chronology, but apparently this is not the case. My preference has always been for the latter play, but this is based on my interest in how Euripides foreshadows the conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles that serves as the opening conflict of Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad." This also speaks to the fact that to successfully teach and/or really appreciate this play, you simply have to understand the entire background of the characters, both in terms of "Iphigenia at Aulis" and "The Orestia." Certainly this can be done in the classroom through summaries of these plays, but it most assuredly has to be done.
