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.

Would like to know if anyone has technology on graunating dolomite into a very small granule at about 0.3 - 0.5 mm. diameter. This will be for prawn farming usage.

Natanson's book is amazingly well-written. Husserl's often difficult and wordy ideas of phenomenology are covered clearly enough for the beginner, and in-depth enough for the student of Husserl. Natanson offers not just a review of phenomenology, but covers all from attitudes to methods, existence to the application of phenomenology. This is the first book I recommend to anyone studying Husserl.

Encyclopedia of Ephemera provides a guide to fragmentary documents of daily life, from postcards and theater programs to laundry lists, and blends a survey of artifacts and art with a history of ephemeria collecting. The author's artifacts come from world sources and provide an excellent survey of ephemera's meaning and social history.

This is a fascinating and erudite overview of medieval Europe - one that combines lucidity and accessibility with an exceedingly high level of scholarship. Maurice Keen is a distinguished proponent of the Southern tradition of medieval history, and a ready reminder that the school of Bruce McFarlane is not the only voice of Oxford medievalism.

This release of Captain's Hewson's narrative is a hard-cover version which has been edited by Antony Brett-James and is worth snatching up. He has taken Captain Hewson's accounts and provided an excellent introduction to the story which not only sets the scene, but explains much of the background to the narrative. It is also lavishly illustrated with both maps and pictures of the various places in France - and people.

The story itself is gripping. Captain Hewson was a Naval officer who was captured off the coast of France just after the failure of the treaty of Amiens in 1803 - and thus he became one of Napoleon's Prisoners. His march to his 'prison' in the central France town of Verdun was gruelling and he almost didn't survive. His description of his life in Verdun, the conditions and his further escape attempts are left unedited but Brett-James provides helpful footnote to help explain things.

There have been several books on British prisoner's of wars over the years - Roger Boutet de Monvel and Mrs Elton have both written collective stories of several prisoners or escapers. They are also both quite good - but out of print now of course. They both also lack the wonderful advantage this book has, its illustrations. They are drawn from many contemporary sources and they just bought the whole thing alive me for me.

I saw this exhibit at Yale University, and it blew my socks off! The work depicted in the catalogue is well documented, and allows you to see the progression Hesse's work underwent during her short life. This is a book that I have treasured for a long time, and that I am sure I will continue to treasure.

A collection of substantial literary material from one of the best voices of dissidence & nonconformism;gems that howl,speak & whisper from the side of literatures remorseless tongue.Personal faves here are the excerpt from Alexander Trocchi's novel "Cains Book";Octavio Paz's essay;Robert Coover's "The Square Shooter & The Saint";Ginsberg's "Howl" of course;Kerouac's "October In The Railroad Earth",the interview on Louis-Ferdinand Celine;& many more.Not only is this good reading material to ingest differentiating one from the usual academic blah that turn a lot off to literature;it also familiarizes oneself to a lot of talented & great authors that one may not be aware of if not for this impressive book.

This book is awesome. The words are moving. The author is amazing . I enjoy this book very much.
