A MUST
This book will definately assist those of us who practice medicine in third world environments. Well laid out and laden with useful tips for coping with the conditions encountered in the field. Thank you!

If you do any work in the third world you need this book
This is more than a reference, it is a handbook and diagnostic guide good for the EMT to doctor. My only complaint is that it should have been a hard cover for the price.

The definitive guide for the lineman/cableman
I used this book as a reference for a project I needed to do on splicing. I found the information contained was concise and clear. The book covers a wide variety of subjects that are very relevant to the jobs that a lineman and cableman would need to perform everyday.

Wildflowers of Alabma and Adjoining Sates
This book covers a number of wildflowers throughout Alabama. The book is filled with wonderful color pictures which aid in identification of species in this area. The descriptions are also very informative! It helped me alot on a collection I was putting together for a Botany class. I loved it so much I had to buy a copy for myself!

Maxwell's Theory and Equations
This text is the classic work of James Clerk Maxwell. It is an essay, printed by the Royal Society of London in 1864 which gives a full insight into Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic waves.

Maxwell's equations are of course the entire basis of modern electromagnetic theory. It is much easier to view these ideas here, in this brief form, than to wade through the 1873 and later editions of Maxwell's mammoth "Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism".

The primary benefit of this small volume is the easy access to this paper. One would otherwise have to go for a collection of Maxwell's papers, which would be somewhat more expensive. The preface to the volume is a useful addition to the work. However, the Introduction by Thomas F. Torrance is a bit over the top. It also introduces a bit of a Theological 'spin' to the material, which is not surprising when you see how many Theological/Religious texts this fellow is involved with.

Take or leave this 27 page introduction as you wish. The fact remains that you still get Maxwell, which is why you wanted the book in the first place!

The heart is missing...
I bought this book to understand electromagnetic theory from ground up - to follow the inventor's thought pattern instead of pushing equations from textbook in to my memory. But I guess this book isn't enough. The good things about this book is that it gives really good historical account of electromagnetism experiments which is essential before peeping in to Maxwell's work. But major part of this book gets wasted in Maxwell's first two papers which are really not important or necessary at all. It's purely waste of time for uninformed readers to read these obscure papers that really doesn't derive anything important. The whole electrodynamics, Maxwell's famous equations and derivation of speed of light - all that stuff comes in his 3rd paper. Maxwell had originally derived 20 equations (8 if you use Vector form) instead of popular 4 textbook versions. This whole derivation part - the single reason why I picked up this book - is missing altogether. Author just gives final form of derivation like any other text book would do. The pain is that you would have spent weeks to get at this part trying to figure out content of those two first papers and finally left learning nothing new. I also get the constant feel that book is more geared towards historians of Maxwell instead of a person who wants to know his work. Anyway good part of this book is that it provides original text of paper + interpretation notes + discussion notes. The bad part is that original text is often omitted at number of places, interpretive notes of missing for many of the confusing parts of first two papers and the whole part of Maxwell's original derivation is missing in discussion notes. Because the heard (derivation of equations) is missing, you would need to by Vol 2 (not Vol 1) of "A Treatise on electricity and magnetism" ALONG with this book and remember to skip those two first papers. The reason I wrote "along with" is because you will still need this book to read about the original electromagnetic experiments and a modern point of view.
