This book is recommended to anyone who is interested in quantum mechanical system composed of finite interacting particles. Although authors are inclined to nuclear physics, each subject is interesting and description is comprehensible to a quantum chemist like me. I agree to the authors' opinion that there are too few books on finite systems and they seem to succeed to improving this situation.

'Grandly conceived and executed' .... 'Magnificent'.... 'Nothing less than masterly' ... critical tributes offered Sartre's Saint Genet that end as mere words. Saint Genet is an unearthly book wrought with the passion of a gospel narrative, explicit and wrenching. It is, finally, an entire act of redemption. The language is apocryphal and never operatic, epic in delivery, even greater than it seems; page upon page of an exceeding pure, and never vulgarly rich, damask brocade! I'll not critique Sartre's thought --it's privilege enough to be presented it!-- but this seminal work is a miraculous construct of human will and unbearable genius that will live forever, a complex and magisterial book ranking among the great achievments of modern literature because of its erudition, humanity, and fierce literary reach. There is not a page that doesn't honor wisdom, nor is there a single idle component. It is indisputably Sartre's crowning achievment as a genius, and as a man. The evocative humanity of two literary giants of the 20th century plays like a dance, the captured aesthetic of which Sartre reveals; everything is taken to the temple of Genet, everything explained, everything mortified, slain and remade. Reading this book is a revealing experience; be willing to be stolen. Theft happens in broad daylight, perpetrators already known.. My favorite chapter is 'Cain,' in which Sartre makes his most profound arguments about Genet as Other, Genet as the living inverse Liturgy, and presents a stupefying image of his subject: 'Everything is possessed, worked, occupied, from the sky to the subsoil...' Intimidating in its greatness.

great text that shuttles between two (or three) kinds of paris - interesting reading of sartre with derrida and foucault

I was having a difficult time with a 5-fold scale-up of a batch process in our facility. Not any more. This book did the trick.

I have used this book in my Spanish classes for the past 6 years. It is one of the best Spanish text books that I have come across and I highly recommend it to people. It is designed for the intermediate level student. It delivers extensive vocabulary and conversational phrases for a topical unit per chapter. The book includes grammar instruction and exercises for every level from the simple present tense to the past perfect of the subjunctive and just about everything in between. The book works best when it is used together with the workbook which provides additional practice in vocabulary, usage, and grammar as well as creative writing exercises.

This selection of essays by J.P. Sartre seemingly choosen at random, presents his authentic and multi-dimensional view of philosophical, cultural and political issues among wchich a reader can find a literary black sounding note written after the death of his friend Albert Camus revealing their true commitement

Spanish for Mastery II provides you with excellent Spanish daily-life situation to get into the use of the language in a very easy way for either a stundent learning in class or anyone who wants to acquire idiomatic knowledges in self-study. As an exchange stundent from Germany I think, in contrast to other study materials, this is a rather vivid study material in combination with the tools like the S. for M. II workbook. The grammatical part is in my opinion placed well to the student's progress of learning making the student build up a good tight knowledge to apply. Nevertheless, it is required to work with the book regularly. Also, the books provides the student with important cultural aspects and historical information.
