Book Description
These papers are mainly concerned with the development of methods for "sequencing" - that is, determination of the order of the amino acids in proteins and of nucleotides in RNA and DNA. In 1943 the position of only one amino acid in a protein (insulin) was known, and Sanger's first paper resulted in finding a second amino acid.

The papers describe the steady improvements in techniques, and exciting biological results revealed by the sequences. ... Read more

Highly Recommend To The OE Reader
My Old English class in college was the most laborious of them all especially as my textbook was stolen, which had an extensive glossary.This book helped smooth out the rough edges of my translations and just gave me a better sense of how to put the words together in some coherent form.It's a nice collection of the most well known OE verses and poems and should prove interesting to the non-student who is interested in very old poetry and etymology as well.

The best available introduction to OE poetry for beginners.
Old English poetry is hard to translate for a variey of reasons. OE poetic style is very compact, very nominal and very dense.Accurate translations often seem wordy; "poetic" ones tend to miss a lot. This is theonly book currently available ( as far as I know) which provides aselection of OE poems in a bilingual format. I have used this book inteaching; the translations are pretty good and the OE is right there forthe curious. A good and very handy book. ... Read more
