Dinosaurus: The Ultimate Dinosaur Encyclopedia (Children's Treasury Series)

A great book for little dinosaur lovers

I have read a lot of books about dinosaurs to my son...but this is one of the best I have run across. The information is presented very well. The book lists the dinosaurs according to the time period in which they evolved. It also has information on climate, diet, special characteristics of each dinosaur, and little scenarios depicting dinosaur life. My son especially liked the comparative studies between different species. The pictures are fantastic. It is detailed enough to answer most questions a child would ask..yet not too complicated. If your child is too young to read well...then be prepared to read aloud till you are hoarse! The only negative that we saw.. it does not describe every dinosaur ever discovered!

5 Lectures by one of the most renowned physicist ever!

"Directions in Physics" constist of edited transcripts of 5 lectures given by Professor Dirac when he was visiting Australia and New Zealand in 1975.

The five lectures are about:

1. The development of quantum mechanics.

2. Quantum electrodynamics.

3. Magnetic monopoles.

4. A positive energy, relativistic wave equation.

5. Cosmology and the gravitational constant.

In my opinion, Dirac is one of the greatest physicist ever. This book gives a unique insight his way of doing science, in which mathematical beauty plays an important role.

Lecture #1 is also very nice because Dirac has experienced much of the development of quantum mechanics himself, making him an authority on the area.

Discounting and Intergenerational Equity (Resources for the Future)

Review

This book contains the most recent thoughts on global climate change policy and the much debated issue of choosing a discount rate. Most climate change policies and abatement programs will be a cost to the present generation and a benefit to future generations. This causes complications in the decision-making process. For short-term projects (within 40 years), the costs of the project are compared with the discounted long-term benefits. Both costs and benefits accrue to the present generation, so the decision can be based on economic efficiency: are the discounted benefits of this project greater than the costs? Climate change decisions are different in that the benefits accrue to future generations. This brings up the issue of intergenerational equity and the discount rate that will give us the amount of equity that we deem appropriate.

This book is fairly easy to read and understand. It is not too technical. It includes articles that are ethical in nature, and those that are mathematical and quantitative. This is an excellent introduction for anyone interested in discount rates, project evaluation, cost-benefit analysis, and equity among generations.

One of the Schopenhauer's inspirations

One of the Schopenhauer's inspirations (especially in "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of sufficient Reason") gives a classical perspective on the modern German thought. Wonderful!!!

Discourses on Art

This book is the definitive book on the thought behind Art. It states the thought procces, and the Art and Science dualisum of the last 600 years and the reasons behind it all. If you want to be a real artist, this is the way to go. It speaks of truth and genius.

"The natural appetite or tast of the human mind is for Truth"

"Art is a point of view, Genius a way of seeing."

If the artist can grasp the truths in this book they will recieve the keys to the kingdom!

Excellent Book!

I liked this book very much. The book is a review of "Bleu". It reviews everything that one has learned from "Bleu" and goes on to teach, one, more French. My vocabulary has increased as well as my passion to learn more. I must say though, that if you are just looking to pass a class or something, then I wouldn't bother. French is a somewhat difficult language. If you are serious in learing french, this book along with "Bleu" and "Rouge" are excellent begining books. "Blanc" allows you to see what life is like in France, in their "Note de culturelle" The only semi-difficult thing is, that the excercises descriptions are written in french, so unless you know a little french, you will have a hard time completing the excercises. But other than that, it's really a great book.

A milestone in contingency table analysis

This book is the first well-organized treatise in contingency table analysis using log-linear models. Today it remains the best in the subject. It is extremely fun to read. Tons of examples clearly explained with the help of lots of graphs and tables. Mathematical notations and arguments are clean and elegant. The MIT Press also deserved high praise for making this book with top quality and affordable price to students. In a perfect world, all books in mathematics and statistics should be written and published this way. This book is a gem.

Cute book

This is an adorable book for young fans of the movie, or any little kid who loves dalmatians. In the book Oddball is hideing, and her bothers try to find her by asking the other dogs from the movie if they've seen her, and in the end they come up with a plan to get her out of hideing.
