What a delightful book!Review Date: 2007-07-16
Ms Hunts seems to be having a great time and her book is a delight to read. I have recommended it to a number of people who I've met who are travelling this path or who have a loved one who is.
Besides her sense of humor and common sense, it is also possible to read this book like a series of headlines for those of us who won't read every word on every page at least at the first sitting. I skipping the parts for Type I folks because it didn't apply to me but she did a really good job of making sense of it all...small steps rather than confronting the mountain every morning when you get up. I especially liked her section on dealing with one's resistance to exercise.
Try it, you'll like it!!

Not exactly tongue-in-cheek . . .Review Date: 2007-06-13
As one who has only recently discovered how close I am to being a Type 2 diabetic, I read Maggie's book with not only a sense that she knows herself and her material intimately -- and that she has adjusted in a wonderful way to the limitations all that imposes -- but also a hopeful (almost joyful) realization that much of the "horror story" aspect of this terrible disease is certainly controllable and that life with diabetes can be just as full and fulfilling as life without it.
I will be using this book as a guide to making the rest of my life an adventure story rather than an avoidance mechanism. Thanks, Maggie.

That said, as a professional editor I rarely find a writer who can connect so well with her target audience. KIDS LOVE THIS BOOK!
Every child I've seen within arm's reach of it has devoured it from cover to cover. Most adults do too.
This is a fun read, and the author manages to work a strong message into it without harming the story.

Fascinating -- but a little complex for the armchair reader Review Date: 2005-12-19
The movie "Jurassic Park" popularized the potential of DNA investigation. "Molecule Hunt" is crammed with the facts and speculations that have emerged from the research of the bio-archaeologists over the last thirty or so years -- including a look at dinosaur DNA. One interesting section examines the relationship of the Neanderthal to homo sapiens. Other sections go into the domestication of wheat, rice, corn, cattle, camels, and dogs. When did it happen? Where? The author also examines human relationships, including the Indians of America, the Africans, and the Polynesians. DNA analysis gives us a possible scenario of where they came from and when and to whom they were related.
I have two complaints about the book. First, it contains not a single illustration or chart or map to help the reader understand complex material. Secondly, partially because of the lack of illustrations, some of the material in the book goes over the head of the average reader -- or at least this average reader. It's hard sledding at times to decipher the delphic declarations of the author. Overall though, the pain is worth the gain.

Scientific roller-coaster rideReview Date: 2004-05-07
The imaging of the DNA molecule opened new portals for explaining life's progress. Once it was understood DNA can change, sometimes at a calculable rate, tracking the modifications became a new analysis tool. "Markers" on the molecule can be studied and placed in a chronological context. Jones manages to explain both the markers and the analysis techniques in clear, jargon-free prose. It's not an easy task, but he achieves it admirably.
Through much of this book, the "Jurassic Park" image remains a running theme. DNA from insects embedded in amber, however, proved an illusory quest. Although the insect bodies appeared intact, close inspection revealed the DNA was shattered long ago. Still further [and rather later] investigation resulted in some unexpected surprises - the insects didn't contain dinosaur DNA, but that of residents in their own guts. More than gut bacterial DNA survived- the entire organism was still living after millions of years.
The journey from "Jurassic Park" to realistic analysis has not been a smooth, linear path. Jones explains how new finds led to various theories of human evolution and migration with resultant cultural developments. The rise of agriculture was long held to have originated in one place, then spread across the planet. Molecular analysis techniques demonstrated the fallacy of that idea, Jones explains, revealing the evidence demonstrating the emergence of farming in various places. China's history of rice production preceded by centuries the grains produced in the Tigris-Euphrates area. Many other "established" concepts have been refuted by various methods of molecular analysis. Each new "absolute" is described by Jones as if irrefutably established. Then he discards the dogma with a flourish of new data.
The most compelling chapter in the book takes us away from DNA, with its many limitations, to "the other molecules". In "beyond DNA", Jones describes these molecules and the many surprises proteins, lipids and even blood now offer. The unexpected persistence of these compounds in proper circumstances reveals an immense amount of data. Animal blood has been taken from stone weapons providing information on prey species. Certain proteins found in blood prove astonishingly persistent, Jones explains. Having mineral attachment properties, these proteins can be found in bones and provide additional dating tools.
Plant-related molecules such as silicon "phytoliths" which give grasses a sharp edge and seeds barbs for protection and propagation can provide useful information. These and other indicators are being found in ancient grindstones and stone tools such as scythes. Jones laments the loss of such material from the early days of archaeology when such artefacts were scrupulously cleaned prior to analysis. "Dirty" evidence is proving of immense value in dating and environment of locale.
Jones has provided us a compelling account of the annals of molecular analysis in human affairs. Of far greater importance than the history of this discipline are the opportunities for further research. Anyone pondering a career in any one of a number of fields related to the human past would do well to investigate this book. Jones explains that molecular analysis topics range from broad, general themes to individual events. These run from the human diaspora to the murder of the Romanovs. Surely there is something here to interest any budding scholar. Read this for a survey of the options and decide for yourself.

The Molecule HuntReview Date: 2003-03-10
This book is a fascinating and absorbing story of scientific inquiry. Keeping in mind that what is preserved for the scientist is in fosilized form and what DNA samples that they do get need specialized equipment and new field methods for getting the samples, essentially changing the way we think about archaeology.
This book is an easy read, largely helped by the author's prose making for a highly educational read about remarkable new techniques now available for investigation of our, human, past. DNA can be found in all life on the planet, extracting a sample from the past is extremely difficult. From seeds, wood, amber and even pot shards yeild a unique picture of the past as to what our diets consisted of and how we lived.
The author's enthusiasm for this subject is in evidence as the reader goes from chapter to chapter finding how molecular archaeology is in a scientific revolution making our concepts of the past change before our eyes. Stomach contents preserved in humans yields information about ancient diets.
This is an educational book as it shows how scientists, devising a molecular clock, from certain area of the DNA molecule, were able to determine that all humans descend from one common female ancestor... "The Mitochondrial Eve."
This is an all around good read as your eyes read, your brain will say I didn't know that they could do that... amazing as to what can be found out in molecular archaeology.

The Public Relations Practitioner's PlaybookReview Date: 2008-02-28
The Playbook incorporates practitioners' experiences that should prepare students for careers in public relations. All of the major media needed to achieve synergy are covered - print, broadcast, Internet, face-to-face and special events. The four step public relations process - purpose, research, planning, implementation and evaluation - is also thoroughly explored. The author adds a preliminary step - purpose - creating the public relations acronym - PR-pie.
Practitioners should enjoy reading about the MAC Triad - Plus (P and T = Purpose and Timing), and other popular two-way communication models. Litwin thoroughly explains them through theory and practice. He demonstrates how mastering the models increases the practitioner's chances of reaching a plan's goal through objectives, strategies, tactics and tools.
I've already made good use of the CD Rom, which demonstrates how to write and produce audio and video public services announcements and video news releases. It also contains some terrific PowerPoints. I find the hints invaluable.
I view The Playbook as an investment in my future. I keep it in my laptop bag. They go where I go.

The Public Relations Practitioner's PlaybookReview Date: 2003-11-09
The author has achieved the difficult task of targeting and reaching all three audiences: students, practitioners, and even the layperson - publicists for civic and other non-profit organizations. Through a creative, compelling, engaging and thought-provoking approach, The Playbook illustrates hundreds of proven techniques, tips, tactics, tools, strategies and terms every practitioner and would be practitioner needs to be successful - presented in a straightforward, down to earth manner. The book's dozens of "plays" summarize sections of the book's 15 chapters and are also included on a companion CD Rom, which contains examples of both audio and video Public Service Announcements.
One successful Philadelphia-area public relations specialist describes The Public Relations Practitioner's Playbook as a "must have." And we do, too! Professor Larry Litwin has hit a home run with a book we don't know how any PR person could live without it. Our opinion echoes that of the Philadelphia practitioner who says, "It should share the desk right next to the AP Stylebook and a dictionary."
