&ldquo;A tour de force of scientific and social history, one that helps illuminate a unique period in the long story of medical discovery. . . . Absorbing and thoroughly documented . . . a vivid narrative of two of the most remarkable of the many contributors to our understanding of human biology and function.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Incisive. . . . An irresistible cautionary tale.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal&#160;&ldquo;Terrific. . . . This rich, engrossing book reminds us of the strangeness of even heroic destinies.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;Markel creates rich portraits of men who shared, as he writes of Freud, a 'particular constellation of bold risk taking, emotional scar tissue, and psychic turmoil.'&ldquo; &mdash;The New Yorker&ldquo;A rich, revelatory new book. . . .&#160;[Markel is] a careful writer and a tireless researcher, and as a trained physician himself, Markel is able to pronounce on medical matters with firmness and authority.&rdquo; &mdash;TIME&#160;&ldquo;A splendid history . . .

I really like the way Wehmeyer links science to practice, combining theory and research with practical instructional methods and strategies. This volume will be useful for anyone involved in teaching self-determination skills to students with disabilities. It also is an appropriate text for graduate students and an excellent resource for faculty members.--David W. Test, PhD, Department of Special Education and Child Development, University of North Carolina-Charlotte At last, a book that offers the best of what we know from research on how to promote self-determination in students with disabilities. This much-needed book delivers proven, practical strategies for classroom instruction. It should be required reading for teachers and other professionals supporting students in the transition from school to adult life.--David R. Johnson, PhD, Department of Educational Policy and Administration and Institute on Community Integration, University of MinnesotaSelf-determination has been a foundation of my curriculum for my students over the last two years, but I had not articulated the specific subsets involved in this concept before reading this book. Wehmeyer breaks self-determination down into the necessary skills of choice making, decision making, goal setting and attainment, and self-advocacy. He shows how to provide opportunity and instruction to support students in successfully meeting their unique transition goals. As a teacher of students with disabilities, I am grateful for this vital contribution to the field.--Tom Szambecki, Lead Teacher, Maize Transition Skills Network, Sedgwick County, KansasThis straightforward, research-based guide provides strategies to prepare students for state and federal assessments by introducing problem-solving and decision-making skills, without changing the curriculum. The examples given in the book can be adapted and applied to students of a range of ages and abilities. The text could be used by university professors to demonstrate how teachers can provide students with a learning environment that includes choices. School districts could use the book in professional learning communities as well as for new teachers and mentors. This book is awesome, and I hope teachers take a look at the research. These strategies could provide a new look at education.--Chuck Howard, MAE, teacher, Special School District of St. Louis County, Missouri-An informative and comprehensive review of the important topic of self-determination....Will provide teachers, students, professors, and practitioners with a useful resource. This book is a practical guide containing suggested training steps for skill acquisition and lists of behaviors to be trained (task analyses). Original training materials to teach the skills reviewed are also included....Wehmeyer provides a thorough synthesis of the research literature on self-determination and organizes the information in a logical and clear fashion. Many effective methods are described.--PsycCRITIQUES, 4/16/2007

From the reviews:"The content of the book provides a complete source of information in the DNA/RNA area and related fields. … In brief, the book is a useful, practical source of information. … The group of scientists and researchers … that forms the potential market for this book can be extended with an important category: undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Some materials can be adapted for interdisciplinary courses in molecular life sciences." (Dr. Ton Visser, Molecular Biotechnology, Vol. 34, September, 2006)"Fluorescence Energy Transfer Nucleic Acid Probes, Design and Protocols is a timely book. It is the first concise collection of fluorescence methods and assays used in exploring biomolecular structure, dynamic and interaction. … a rich compendium of information for the beginner in the field, as well as a source of ideas and inspiration for the advanced researcher. It is a book that should be on the shelf in all laboratories using fluorescent-probe techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology." (Sabine Müller, ChemBioChem, Vol. 8, 2007)
