With a scholar's precision and a novelist's eye he recounts the rise of wild frontier towns like New Rush now Kimberley and Johannesburg and their roisterous mix of plutocrats and prostitutes gamblers and politicians. Kanfer shows the roots of the racial crisis in the developing land: the misery of black miners and the fortunes of white prospectors; the defeat of the African emperor Lobengula and the rise of his legendary adversary Cecil Rhodes who would rule both the Cape Colony and De Beers. In the twentieth century the cartel comes under the control of the Oppenheimers. And the author uncovers the passionate inside story of the billionaire family.". First edition 1993 so stated.

These data are complex and growing rapidly so the search for patterns requires increasingly sophisticated computer methods. PATTERN DISCOVERY IN BIOMOLECULAR DATA provides a clear up-to-date summary of the principal techniques. Each chapter is self-contained and the techniques are drawn from many fields including graph theory information theory statistics genetic algorithms computer visualization and vision. Since pattern searches often benefit from multiple approaches the book presents methods in their purest form so that readers can best choose the method or combination that fits their needs. The chapters focus on finding patterns in DNA RNA and protein sequences finding patterns in 2D and 3D structures and choosing system components. This volume will be invaluable for all workers in genomics and genetic analysis and others whose research requires biocomputing.". Second Printing. Hard Cover.

From the Dust Jacket: "Since the publication of Volume I of this work in 1959 the amount of new information that has accumulated is so large and so different in character that a companion volume became a necessity. Not only have obscure and forgotten gemstone deposits been profitably reopened but extensive new primary sources have been discovered all over the continent. Beautiful specimens of record size and quality have been found as well as entirely new species. Recent mineralogical analyses have yielded surprising data on the origin structure and properties of gemstone classes which is particularly important in identifying problem samples. This volume follows the format of the first: each class of stone -- precious industrial rare massive and organic -- is covered separately with deposits described in precise detail state by state and characteristic features shown in many black-and-white and color illustrations over 100 in all. Pertinent geological and mineralogical information is supplemented by interesting facts about the people involved in mining current price lists of various stones and numerous quotations from the literature and from personal communications. There is an updated geographical index and all the material is keyed to a bibliography of over 2600 entries dating from colonial times to the present -- the first and only definitive reference of its kind ever assembled." .
