Lights, sushi, cell phones! Romanticized in "Lost in Translation," Tokyo is the place to see: fast-paced modernization mixed with age-old Japanese traditions. This Fodor's first edition covers it all, with step-by-step touring plans and detailed maps for every major neighborhood.



Fuel Cells: From Fundamentals to Applications

This is a concise source of the basic electrochemical principles and the engineering aspects involved in the development and commercialization of fuel cells. It  provides a lucid description of the applications and techno-economic assessment of fuel cell technologies along with an in-depth discussion of conventional and novel approaches for generating energy. The first part covers the electrode kinetics and electrocatalysis of charge-transfer reactions, and leading electrochemical technologies with focus on relevance to fuel cells. The second part addresses the governing principles of fuel cells, electrocatalysis of fuel cell reactions and experimental techniques pertinent to fuel cell research and development. The third part is devoted to modeling of fuel cell systems and a thorough discussion of fuels, fuel processing and fuel storage, transmission, and distribution. The final part deals with the status of fuel cell technologies, their applications and economics. Fuel Cells: From Fundamentals to Applications

Culture of Epithelial Cells by R. Ian Freshney, ISBN 0471401218

..."a wonderful compendium of current in vitro approaches that will be a useful resource to those just starting to work with an epithelial cell system as well as those that have been working with them for years and years."
— "Pharmaceutical Research"

This completely revised and expanded new edition provides detailed descriptions of fundamental and practical aspects relating to the in vitro cultivation of disparate types of epithelia. In recent years, the use of epithelial cell culture in cell biology and tissue engineering has increased dramatically. This revision reflects those advances by including new chapters on the culture of animal and human hepatocytes, kidney epithelium, and bladder epithelium. Each chapter provides an introductory review of the principles and advantages of the particular method, followed by detailed protocols, practical tips, alternate methods, and a useful list of materials and suppliers.

You Can Hear Me Now: How Microloans and Cell Phones Are Connecting the Worlds Poor to the Global Economy

How economic development can address unmet human needs on a large scale

Bangladeshi villagers with cell phones helped build what is now a thriving $200 million company. What is the lesson for the rest of the world? This is a question author Nick Sullivan addresses in the tale of a new kind of entrepreneur, Iqbal Quadir.

Sullivan provides a new approach to building business opportunity in the developing world through a compelling account of what he calls the " external combustion engine" – a combination of market elements and forces that is already lifting people out of poverty in the Third World. The " engine" comprises three outside forces: information technology, imported by native entrepreneurs trained in the West, backed by foreign investors. Focusing primarily on the gripping stories of fast-growing cell phone companies, particularly Bangladesh’ s renowned GrameenPhone, the book describes an inclusive capitalism that engages and enables many of the...
