This is the detailed story about how China during the Deng Xiaoping era was transformed from a socialist or quasi-socialist dictatorship to a capitalist dictatorship, but without giving up the socialist slogans. In the words of the author (pp. 492-3): "China today is experiencing, on a massive scale and in extreme forms, all the social evils of Western capitalism that modern Chinese intellectuals and political leaders sought for over a century to avoid. [...] That century-long quest now appears to have been all but abandoned. In the 1980s, China's leaders gradually reconciled themselves to enduring the vicissitudes of a capitalist regime-that "social anarchy which turns every economic progress into a social calamity," as Marx so acutely and forebodingly described the workings of capitalism." In my view, the book is very well written and well argued. Above all, it is free from the irritating Western bias that mar many books on China. Thus, the author more than once takes pains to explode myths about modern China, e.g. the popular impression that the Mao era was a period of economic stagnation (p. 188). But Meisner's story is in no sense the story about China's transformation from a socialist paradise to a capitalist hell. On the contrary, the book seems to me to be very balanced and credible. Recommended!

Most books on transistor design focuses on circuit analysis: given a certain circuit, find the current in all branches, freq. responce, and al. This may be great when one wants to learn the circuit inner workings but it terribly fails when you need to work the other way around: given what you want, how should you calculate and pick the right components to bias your transistors the way YOU want them to work. Well, this book does just that. M. Yunik does a terrific job in explaining the art of transistor design strategies. It covers everything from basic network analysis, detailed explamation of transistor parameters (as shown in data books), transistor bios, coupling, frequency responces, power amplifier and more. It even fully covers JFET! It's a shame that such a nice piece of work be out of print.

This book smoothly and succinctly pinpoints the causes -- and choices for resolution -- to the various difficulties that inevitably arise in all relationships (not only intimate relationships, but also work, friend, etc.). Its topic is most pertinent to our times and its insights, if applied, are most effective -- even life changing. I found it the perfect balance of "academic" and "layperson" reading, and quite touching as well. The writing speaks to the heart of concerns that have churned inside all of us, but that we could never seem to express. Read it ASAP -- you will not regret it

Before I can even begin about the book, the story BEHIND the book is amazing. It would not surprise me if Cheney had a copy of the German version somewhere in his desk as Bush probably wouldn't understand a third of the amazing ideas put forth in this formerly banned book.

Watching the news is like watching Machiavelli's Dialogue come to life. Listening to Democrats is like hearing Montesquieu's feeble attempts to say that in the end, the good guys will win because of Justice and Liberty. If the Dialogue were a swordfight, Machiavelli would have not only killed poor Montesquieu, but eviscerated and beheaded him as well. Waggoner's commentaries and insights are a little dry when compared with the excellent text but are a good read and do well to put some of the outdated points in the text into context. I strongly reccomend this for anybody who is questioning the course of events that our world is being swept up in.

Silence is the greatest work of Didier Comés. It has everything, passion , a great and pretty realistic plot some warscenes and two of the most hideous villains ever to appear in a graphic novel. If you're a fan of Forests&Tardis Ici Meme you'll love this book.

The aproach to modeling and the clear, sistematic but rich and rigourous presentation by Weir and Giordano is magnific. You work through all Differential equations, but all the time learning on how to use them as modeling tools of reallity. It has also a solutions manual.

"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.
