Breaking Through: Essays, Journals, and Travelogues of Edward F. Ricketts

Book Description

Trailblazing marine biologist, visionary conservationist, deep ecology philosopher, Edward F. Ricketts (1897-1948) has reached legendary status in the California mythos. A true polymath and a thinker ahead of his time, Ricketts was a scientist who worked in passionate collaboration with many of his friends--artists, writers, and influential intellectual figures--including, perhaps most famously, John Steinbeck, who once said that Ricketts's mind "had no horizons." This unprecedented collection, featuring previously unpublished pieces as well as others available for the first time in their original form, reflects the wide scope of Ricketts's scientific, philosophical, and literary interests during the years he lived and worked on Cannery Row in Monterey, California. These writings, which together illuminate the evolution of Ricketts's unique, holistic approach to science, include "Verbatim transcription of notes on the Gulf of California trip," the basic manuscript for Steinbeck's and Ricketts's Log from the Sea of Cortez; the essays "The Philosophy of Breaking Through" and "A Spiritual Morphology of Poetry;" several shorter pieces on topics including collecting invertebrates and the impact of modernization on Mexican village life; and more. An engaging critical biography and a number of rare photographs offer a new and richly detailed view of Ricketts's life.

Almost useless........2003-06-04

After going to Europe for five weeks, and travelling to Pamplona (Spain), Bilboa (Spain), Lille (France), Venice (Italy), Geneva (Switzerland), all from Paris train stations, I found that this book was a good place to hold my Eurorail tickets rather than any of the info it provided. Either go to the website and get train info, or go to the station. The train schedules that they provide are a rough rough idea of where trains go and what type of trains. This is what I would do with the book, put more pictures of train stations and highlight where they are located in cities, because the train stations have all info. Also pictures of the trains themselves and how to know what train station you are at, because if you space out for a moment you might miss your stop (and it's not that hard). Major train stations always have english speakers, and then the rest you have to rely on mix of their broken english and your broken spanish, french, german, italian. Good luck, but don't waste your money on this, go to the website by eurorail.

Book Description

Thermodynamic data for inorganic materials are fundamental for the optimisation of existing process parameters and for investigating suitable parameters for carrying out potential new processes. With the aid of such data, time and costs can be saved by calculating the conditions necessary to produce a material of the required composition and specified purity, with a minimum usage of energy and input materials and with a minimum release of harmful substances to the environment. The SGTE evaluated data presented here are tabulated values of standard thermodynamic properties (enthalpy of formation and standard entropy at 298.15K, enthalpies and temperatures of transition, heat content) for each substance, together with plotted heat capacity, Gibbs energy and enthalpy of formation functions up to the maximum temperature for which the data for that substance have been evaluated. The data are presented in 3 subvolumes, A: Pure Substances, B: Binary Systems, C: Ternary and Multi-Component Systems.

Book Description

CR Manifolds and the Tangential Cauchy Riemann Complex provides an elementary introduction to CR manifolds and the tangential Cauchy-Riemann Complex and presents some of the most important recent developments in the field. The first half of the book covers the basic definitions and background material concerning CR manifolds, CR functions, the tangential Cauchy-Riemann Complex and the Levi form. The second half of the book is devoted to two significant areas of current research. The first area is the holomorphic extension of CR functions. Both the analytic disc approach and the Fourier transform approach to this problem are presented. The second area of research is the integral kernal approach to the solvability of the tangential Cauchy-Riemann Complex. CR Manifolds and the Tangential Cauchy Riemann Complex will interest students and researchers in the field of several complex variable and partial differential equations.

Book Description

The Book of Salt serves up a wholly original take on Paris in the 1930s through the eyes of Binh, the Vietnamese cook employed by Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. Viewing his famous mesdames and their entourage from the kitchen of their rue de Fleurus home, Binh observes their domestic entanglements while seeking his own place in the world. In a mesmerizing tale of yearning and betrayal, Monique Truong explores Paris from the salons of its artists to the dark nightlife of its outsiders and exiles. She takes us back to Binh's youthful servitude in Saigon under colonial rule, to his life as a galley hand at sea, to his brief, fateful encounters in Paris with Paul Robeson and the young Ho Chi Minh.

Boring... But Well Written.......2007-09-08

I was supposed to read this novel for an Asian Literature class as an undergrad at UCLA (over three years ago) but I could never get past the first few pages. Figuring I'd give it another chance I recently set out determined to discover why a university professor would select it for her class. Apparently I was right the first time; the only thing that got me to the end was Truong's exceptionally well written prose- the actual plot itself literally bored me to sleep on several occasions. Bare in mind, though, I am not particularly interested in Vietnamese history or Gertrude Stein, so if those are topics that interest you it may be a worthwhile read.

Low Sodium.......2007-08-02

A rather dreary book, this- thus the 3. Spectacular writing (4). But participating even on the margin of the scrumptious life of Stein and Toklas poor Binh just never gets a bite. If you're too euphoric right now, read this book. Just the right recipe!

If you enjoyed The Hours, you should love this........2007-05-27

This is a hauntingly beautiful story of Binh, an Indochinese world traveler (and world class chef) who ends up in the Paris home of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. This is NOT a story about food or grand cooking anymore than "The Grapes of Wrath" was about picking vegitables.

This is a richly drawn character study. I found the story compelling and colorful and poignant. Binh's interactions with the two ladies is priceless. The scenes between him and his family - especially those envolving his mother - are quite elegantly rendered. The entire tale is told with exquisite attention to detail.

If you love literary novels that use historical figures as characters, you'll not want to miss this one.

Book is over-hyped fraud.......2007-05-02

Anyone who buys this book believing it is about food, feasting, cooking or sitting in on any of Gertrude Stein's parties at a time when her Paris salon was visited by so many influential artists, writers and other creatives is going to be EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. Book manages to demean both Stein and Toklas's work and lives as only an envious out-sider can. More of a self-pitying romance novel than historical fiction.
I gave it one star but deserves a black spot. Back cover blurb completely misleading.

Plaintive, poetic and delicious.......2007-01-09

What Ernest Kroll said of Washington, D.C., "How shall you act the natural man in this/Invented city, neither Rome nor home?" could be the anthem for the American psyche. Stories of alienation, of strangeness, of the perpetual foreigner in a land and culture inscrutable, or exotic or simply different and unaccommodating, are our story. It is the person repelled by the tribe, the unelect, the different, she who bears the Scarlet Letter, who fascinates us, perhaps because we Americans feel alienated and separated from the ancient, the profound, the old and settled civilizations, and are uneasy, even lonely, in the artifice of our grand New World. In those who are different we see ourselves, outside but yearning for some attachment, pretending solidarity but ambivalent about our roots and place, nostalgic for times and places we've never seen, that never existed.

Monique Troung strikes the chord of alienation and plays it magnificently in this multi-layered story. It is the fictional memoir of Binh, a Vietnamese cook living in France, who enters the service of Gertrude Stein. Binh is a superb chef, whose many unique and exquisite dishes are served to a Stein and Toklas so self-absorbed that, while they find his cooking delicious, they chomp dumbly through their meals without the presence of mind to appreciate the delicacy and sophistication of his work. Stein and Toklas, of course, like Binh, are strangers in France, alienated by their own special work, by their sexuality, and even by their crudeness and unattractiveness. Binh is a puzzle to them, at once a pet and an artist of the palate whose food they enjoy while his being is ignored or diminished. "Too thin Binh," they call him, playing on his name, putting him in the diminutive, while Binh, who has little English, ponders their meaning but senses their disdain.

Binh is gay, but he is quietly so, secretive and limited in his affairs. Troung's interest is in exploring the wounded and exiled, and while Binh's sexuality is there, she avoids any explicit prose. Indeed, sensuality is seen not in Binh's encounter with his "Sunday Man" (an expatriate American rumored to be part black, another layer of alienation). These encounters are told with tenderness and humor without any meander into explicit sex. The book's sensual indulgence is in the glorious, exotic food Binh prepares, delightfully and artfully described by Troung with concupiscent abandon. We taste it as we read.

In Binh, Troung has created a wry and insightful character, sensitive to the emotions and limitations of all those he encounters. He knows his place but he chafes nonetheless, disdainful of arrogant French colonials, and of those Vietnamese who have forced him to flee Vietnam. He is even disdainful of the self-pitying complaints of his one friend in Vietnam, a Medical Doctor, too proud to be employed as a Veterinarian (the dim fate of a Vietnamese doctor laboring for the French), who instead works as a chauffeur for the French. His friend, burdened with self-induced servitude, is hopelessly in love with a gorgeous French-Vietnamese secretary whose whims are the purpose of his life. She, of course, does not reciprocate to a mere chauffeur, but uses him mercilessly, tantalizes him and aggravates his misery.

All of Binh's observations, complaints and stories are told with a rich descriptive prose that keenly relates the substance of his life, the grittiness of his impoverished home, the tenderness of his mother, his implacable father, and the persistent frustration and ambivalence of vibrant, intelligent, and ambitious people who are forced to bend to colonial masters remarkable mostly for their mediocrity, racism and selfishness.

One might think a novel that layers alienation upon alienation would be grim, but Troung is too good a writer for that. Binh never welters in his own sense of persecution and loneliness. He rides above all that, a tough and compelling character, confident in his own culinary artistry, endowed by Troung with a sardonic humor that propels his story onward.

"The Book of Salt" is a delicious novel by an author with a brilliant future. Don't just read it, savor it. Every word is a confection, every sentence a meal.

Worth picking up.......2007-09-26

Although a large majority of this book is about China during her time and not a complete biography of the Dowager Empress herself, I found this book a very interesting read. It is one view of one of the most trying times in Chinese history.

As good as it gets...........2007-02-20

Like many other reviewers pointed out, this book deals with general 19th century Chinese History instead of being a pure biographical account of Empress Tzu-Hsi.Carefully researched, it explores the events and myths that surounded this utterly mysterious figure.Futhermore, Seagrave explains how The Empress Dowager has been vilified by racist,looting, lying mediocre pseudo "writters"; Edmund Backhouse and George Morrison.They forever destroyed Tzu-Hsi's image with false accounts of her life, influenced by their own ignorance and Victorian hypocrecy.
Very little is known about Tzu-Hsi's actual role in the Chinese government since the English, in their endless stupidity, burned the Manchu Court Archives.Indeed, Seagrave describes the disgraceful and shameful role the British had in China, from the destruction of the priceless Han Libraby,the completely unjustified Opium Wars, the looting and destruction of the Summer Palace, the looting of the Forbiden City, to the killing of thousands of innocent Chinese civilians, victims of racist Imperial bigotry.
Seagrave spends too much time giving biographical information on secondary characters which makes the book tedious at times.Other than that, his book is very interesting and brings light to certain myths about the last years of the Manchu Emperors of China.I wish the Hardcover edition of this book was not out of print, Vintage uses horrible paper quality and this book deserves a better editorial treatment...

the wicked woman as the last empress who caused a bancruptcy.......2006-11-05

she was a great evil woman that had appeared in the last Qing Dynasty.

For instance: Like she still had done and used a "Death by a thousand cuts" for all prisoners for 120 years ago, China is one of the highest cultures and oldest civilizations in the world, but the chinese acted like the Barbarians. China is becoming a top record of human right violation until today.

Iam happy cause I was born in Bali not in China.

Mr Seagrave shoots himself in the foot........2006-07-08

I gather Mr Seagrave is a journalist, and not a trained historian. His sloppiness shows on the cover (She was not China's last Empress) and in the author's note which claims China had three 'reigning empresses'. This last shows clearly that Mr Seagrave doesn't understand the subject. It's difficult to know what exactly he means by the term. Ci Xi was an Empress who had an remarkable degree of influence. Other Empresses had varying degrees of influence. Ci Xi was not a 'reigning empress' if that means she was formally the monarch. Only one woman, Wu Zetian, ever held that position, and she should rightly be called Emperor, not Empress, as there was no concept of 'Empress' in imperial China other than as the consort of an Emperor. Writing a special note in the front of the book to lump these three together and imply that they all held the same position, presumably in order to emphasise the remarkable power that Ci Xi held, irreparably undermines Mr Seagrave's credibility.

Comprehensive yet dry........2006-03-30

I am not a student of Chinese history but love history in general. I am an American who has visit China and have enjoyed the hospitality of the Chinese people. This volume is less a study of Tsu Tsi (spelling is varied), than a good primer for westerners to learn a history of China from 1865ish to 1910ish. It repudiates a lot of the early "comprehensive accounts" that were based on fictuous reporting from westerners on the scene at the time who had their own agendas. It is somewhat dry, voluminous and not a light read, however it is a worthwhile book for westerners looking to learn more about the struggles China experienced in the 19th century before Sung Yat Seng and Kiang Kai Check and the Communists really established themselves. Would I read it again? No. Was it worth reading? Yes, if you want to learn more about what China has experienced.

Book Description

This volume analyzes the First World War in light of the concept of "total war," particularly the systematic erosion of the distinction between the military and civilian spheres. Leading scholars from Europe and North America explore the efforts of soldiers and statesmen, industrialists and financiers, professionals and civilian activists to adjust to the titanic, pervasive pressures that the military stalemate on the western front imposed on belligerent and neutral societies.

Considering that the history of the Internet is perhaps better documented internally than any other technological construct, it is remarkable how shadowy its origins have been to most people, including die-hard Net-denizens!

At last, Hafner and Lyon have written a well-researched story of the origins of the Internet substantiated by extensive interviews with its creators who delve into many interesting details such as the controversy surrounding the adoption of our now beloved "@" sign as the separator of usernames and machine addresses. Essential reading for anyone interested in the past -- and the future -- of the Net specifically, and telecommunications generally.

Book Description

Twenty five years ago, it didn't exist. Today, twenty million people worldwide are surfing the Net. Where Wizards Stay Up Late is the exciting story of the pioneers responsible for creating the most talked about, most influential, and most far-reaching communications breakthrough since the invention of the telephone.

In the 1960's, when computers where regarded as mere giant calculators, J.C.R. Licklider at MIT saw them as the ultimate communications devices. With Defense Department funds, he and a band of visionary computer whizzes began work on a nationwide, interlocking network of computers. Taking readers behind the scenes, Where Wizards Stay Up Late captures the hard work, genius, and happy accidents of their daring, stunningly successful venture.

Great history of the Arpanet!.......2007-08-29

Had a lot of fun reading this book; highly recommended.

We all use the Internet; let's learn how it all started.

EXCELLENT!!!!.......2007-08-18

I wanted to learn where the Internet/internet came from and associated technologies/standards, etc. This book is superb!

I read this concurrently with the nerds 2.0.1 videos and it was nice to put faces to names though the book does have some photos. The last 3 or 4 chapters in particular really sum up the formation of the internet as the first several chapters are really only about ARPA and the ARPAnet; which inspires everything that is to come.

Overall, this is one of the most complete and easily read books I have come across. The reader who only elected to rate this book 1-star certainly isn't in to computers/Internet or too young to appreciate the history of how their cell phone works, their email works, or why their friends can upload comments for his MySpace page.

If you want to get a whirlwind education in why we are where we are with the Information/Internet revolution then this is the book to read.

A good look into the past.......2007-07-28

Where Wizards Stay Up Late is a good look at the politics, and background that have become the Internet we use today. Contrary to popular belief, Al Gore did not start the Internet. In fact, the book uses the word 'internetting' to refer to an international work group designed to help computers all over the world connect to each other in the mid-late 1970s.
The book goes in depth and covers all of the interesting bits that concern the creation of the ARPANET.

Those who can't learn from the history are doomed to repeat it.......2007-03-01

The book is good view on the origins of the Internet and in particularly it gives insights into the hardship of working with guilded way of protectionism done by the Telecommunication entities. It shows how the Internet has always been tried to bind into the semantics of Telephones and Telecommunications and how this has always spelled disaster to the further development.

A Competent Account.......2006-10-23

Where Wizards Stay Up Late is a competent, if slightly dry, account of the development of the ARPANET. I live for this kind of stuff, but Hafner fails to ever really engage me in the story - I found that I was plowing through the text as opposed to devouring it. As a history text, though, I was impressed with the even-handed, no-hype account.

Too regularly do authors of computer history suffer from hero-worship and "religious" dogma - their personal opinions coloring the story, till its credibility is at best strained (if not broken). Hafner does not fall into this trap - if she worships anyone or holds any personal religious leanings, none of it shows in the account. The writing is clear and technical without being unreadable by a layperson. Overall, there is a lot to recommend this book.

Unfortunately, as mentioned above, I found the story to be dry and frequently bogged down. Hafner may actually have overdone the evenhandedness of the account - I felt little passion for the subject, and consequently was not drawn into the text. At the end, I felt more knowledgable about the subject, but not any more interested. A good historical account, but a less-than-enjoyable read.
