Teacher Friendly Book.......2000-03-07

I just loved this book. I found it so easy to use. It brought the outside right into our classroom. There was enough background information in it so I could easily prepare and feel like "an expert" I don't think my students will ever go out into the woods and look at it in the same way! We became experts on mushrooms, lichens, squirrels, and much more. This book was a springboard to investigation. My students were using interaction, change, energy, diversity,human factor and adaptation when descibing their experiences with the outside. As a teacher I feel that I should always be aware of the different learning styles of children. This book made sure that I hit upon those different learning styles in my everyday teaching. A real goldmine!

Customer Reviews:

best book in the series!!!.......2007-07-14

This book is a really good book. Out of all of the books in the series, this one is definitely my favorite. It talks about the scavenger hunt held in LA for charity. It is told from the different view points of the four main characters, Seth, Summer, Ryan, and Marissa. It is very funny as well, almost as funny as the television series itself. All in all, an awesome read if you're a fan of the OC (and even if you're not) :)

OC book = awesome.......2006-03-29

I just bought this book the other day and I liked it so much Im already done reading it. If your a fan on the show you will really enjoy this book it's alot like the show and kinda cool because it's a new story thats not on tv.

Science's golden hour has arrived:.......2000-05-11

Dr. Sharma brilliantly explains about a paradigm in medicine that is more important than germ theory. He explains a unifying cause for diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and even the wrinkles on your skin. If the products and technologies he has researched as a pathologist were drugs or machines this would be headline material for every paper.

A must read to make sense of what the leading edge of medicine has figured out. It will change how you live your life and how to improve your life and maybe have a few less wrinkles.

Medical science has now evolved to the point it can explain what the mystics of the East figured out without the advantage of gas chromotography, and laboratory tools. Dr. Sharma should win the Nobel prize for this presentation.

A must read!.......1999-02-09

I'm only in the third chapter and already know without a doubt that every person concerned about their health must read this book. The scientific information is translated to laymen's terms with great clarity, allowing for a thorough understanding of the causes for disease. Please take charge of your health and read this book.

Book Description

With the ever-increasing rise in life expectancy, there is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the relationship between ageing and the pathogenesis of age-related diseases in order to identify more effective means of prevention, amelioration and management of such diseases. In addition, there is a need to reduce the social and economic impact of the ageing population. Age-related morbidity and mortality vary dramatically among individuals; this book focusses on individual differences in susceptibility to age-related disorders.

Book Description

In life, aging is our constant and often unwanted companion that increasingly forces us to confront the unpleasant truth of our own mortality. Aging is first and foremost a biological process and this book is essentially a guide to some of the most important scientific theories that have merged to explain this process. We all know the effects of aging but it is only through understanding the causes that we can challenge the prevalent idea that aging is an inevitable part of the cycle of life. The scientific understanding of aging offers the only real hope of intervention, which could ultimately lead to an extended, healthy lifespan. Aging is undeniably complex and the science behind it encompasses many separate scientific disciplines. The Causes of Aging teaches only as much basic biology as is needed to allow comprehension of the concepts discussed: making it simple and easy to follow.

Book Description

The use of visualization techniques greatly enhances the understanding of quantum mechanics as it allows us to depict phenomena that cannot be seen by any other means. "Visual Quantum Mechanics" uses the computer generated animations found on the accompanying CD-ROM to introduce, motivate, and illustrate the concepts explained in the book. For example, by watching QuickTime movies of the solutions of Schroedinger's equation, students will be able to develop a feeling for the behavior of quantum mechanical systems that cannot be gained by conventional means. While there are other books on the market that use Mathematica and Maple to teach quantum mechanics, this book differs in that the text describes the mathematical and physical ideas of quantum mechanics in the conventional manner, with no special emphasis on computational physics or the requirement that the reader know a symbolic computation package or Mathematica. In this book, instead, the computer is used to provide easy access to a large collection of animated illustrations, interactive pictures, and lots of supplementary materials. "Visual Quantum Mechanics" takes a mathematical rather than a physical approach to quantum mechanics, and includes results more typical in more advanced books but which are more comprehensible via visualization. Despite the presentations of advanced results, the book requires only calculus, and the book will fill the gap between classical quantum mechanics texts and mathematically advanced books. The book will have a home page at the author's institution (http://www.kfunigraz.ac.at/imawww/vqm/) which will include supplementary material, exercises and solutions, additional animations, and links to other sites with quantum mechanical visualization. This book along with its accompanying CD-ROM, which contains over 300 digital movies, form a complete introductory course on spinless particles in one and two dimensions. There is a second book in development which will cover such topics as spherical symmetry in three dimensions, the hydrogen atom, scattering theory and resonances, periodic potentials, particles with spin, an relativistic problems (the Dirac equation).

Customer Reviews:

Highly recommended!.......2003-06-18

This is the best quantum mechanics book I know! It explains quantum mechanics in a very understandable way (well, at least for a physics student). The explanations are just better than elsewhere, and its easier to follow the mathematical derivations. There are no unfair remarks like 'it is easy to see that..', etc. Now I can understand quantum mechanics much better. The movies are just great. The CD-ROM alone is worth the price (unfortunately it works only for Windows and Macintosh, not for Linux). In particular, I liked the section about one-dimensional scattering theory. Here the movies and the text fit together in an optimal way. If you can only afford one book about quantum mechanics, buy this one. Unfortunately, this book is only the first part of the story. The web site tells me that the next book will describe the hydrogen atom, the Dirac equation, and quantum information. I am growing impatient. What am I going to do until the second book appears?

it's not that complicated.......2001-08-24

This is a great combination: Many diagrams, animations and so on on the CD-ROM, which are not just to look at, but you can modify parameters and interact with some of them, which is great for understanding and the book with the theoretical background to everything you can see an the CD-ROM and more. You should be fimilar with higher mathematics (complex numbers and stuff) if you really want to understand the complicated-looking mathematical background, but the CD-ROM shows that the core of the whole Quantum-Mechanic-Thing seems to be very natural (what a surprise). This book is an excellent approach to this topic - take a glance. ... and for those, who are not interested in QM-theory: the animations are very colorful and fine to look at ;)
