Customer Reviews:

Outstanding book; ridiculous price.......2007-02-08

This book is simply outstanding. It assumes knowledge of basic chemistry, and a certain degree of comfort with the mathematics of chemistry, and covers only the basics of thermodynamics, as applied to chemistry. To some degree it even paves the way for the later study of statistical mechanics. I won't claim it makes the material easy to learn, but it does as good a job of this as any other text I've read.

This book makes an excellent supplement to most college chemistry textbooks, which have confusing and generally inadequate discussions of thermodynamics. The exercises are reasonable and quite helpful for understanding the material.

As a last comment, I want to point out that the price is absurd--this is a tiny paperback volume, and as good as it is, it is hardly worth paying more than $40 for; the publishers should be ashamed of themselves.

Good, but..........2000-02-08

It is certainly a good intro to Thermodynamics book, but it'stoo skimpy for the money. At only 200 pages, it isn't a completetextbook on the subject, but noteworthy and significant nonetheless.

Book Description

For the first time, readers can discover the numerous pioneers of the Soviet nuclear industry, including the role of scientific supervisors of Russia's nuclear project and the statesmen who coordinated the function of the atomic industry in the former USSR. This is a detailed account, translated to English for the first time, of the development of the atomic industry in the former Soviet Union. It deals with the activities of production facilities, research institutes and design bureaus that designed and manufactured equipment and materials. That material was applied in various fields of atomic science and engineering, but primarily in the construction of atomic weapons. History of Soviet Atomic Industry will be of interest to scientists and engineers in the nuclear industry, as well as historians of science and the post-war Soviet Union.

Book Description

This collection celebrates the career of Sir James Mirrlees, who received the 1996 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on income taxation and its extension to information and incentive problems. His contributions have proved fundamental to the development of a wide range of areas in economics. The 17 papers contained in this volume focus on themes that are representative of Mirrlees' work, including the economics of information, welfare, taxation, project appraisal, and industrial organization. All the contributors have spent time working closely with Mirrlees - either as his co-author or his student - and all are recognized authorities in their fields. The significant new contributions that this collection offers will have wide-ranging appeal, and should prove particularly interesting to scholars working in the areas of microeconomics, microeconomic theory, mathematical economics, and welfare economics.

Book Description

Two distinguished historians, one an advocate of the new scientific or "cliometric" history and the other a traditional historian, debate the validity of their respective methods of studying the past. While they differ sharply on many issues, in the end they agree that history is a vigorous, evolving discipline able to absorb the best of both scientific and humanistic thought. "Fogel asserts persuasively that cliometrics is best characterized by the explicit use of social science theory, and only secondly by its use of quantification. . . . Elton elegantly defends the traditional virtues of catholicity of method, skepticism toward sources, and informed scholarship. The two scholars' evident respect for each other enriches the debates as well as humanizes it."-David Keymer, Library Journal "Both scholars are leading representatives of their modi operandi, and both have laid down pathbreaking interpretations of their subjects of study, leaving controversy and new methodology in their wake. It is therefore an event unto itself that two such professors of history should pause for a moment to meet at the fork in the road and debate the roads to the past."-Mark R. Horowitz, History Today

Book Description

Manhattan's Lower East Side stands for Jewish experience in America. With the possible exception of African-Americans and Harlem, no ethnic group has been so thoroughly understood and imagined through a particular chunk of space. Despite the fact that most American Jews have never set foot there--and many come from families that did not immigrate through New York much less reside on Hester or Delancey Street--the Lower East Side is firm in their collective memory. Whether they have been there or not, people reminisce about the Lower East Side as the place where life pulsated, bread tasted better, relationships were richer, tradition thrived, and passions flared.

This was not always so. During the years now fondly recalled (1880-1930), the neighborhood was only occasionally called the Lower East Side. Though largely populated by Jews from Eastern Europe, it was not ethnically or even religiously homogenous. The tenements, grinding poverty, sweatshops, and packs of roaming children were considered the stuff of social work, not nostalgia and romance. To learn when and why this dark warren of pushcart-lined streets became an icon, Hasia Diner follows a wide trail of high and popular culture. She examines children's stories, novels, movies, museum exhibits, television shows, summer-camp reenactments, walking tours, consumer catalogues, and photos hung on deli walls far from Manhattan.

Diner finds that it was after World War II when the Lower East Side was enshrined as the place through which Jews passed from European oppression to the promised land of America. The space became sacred at a time when Jews were simultaneously absorbing the enormity of the Holocaust and finding acceptance and opportunity in an increasingly liberal United States. Particularly after 1960, the Lower East Side gave often secularized and suburban Jews a biblical, yet distinctly American story about who they were and how they got here.

Displaying the author's own fondness for the Lower East Side of story books, combined with a commitment to historical truth, Lower East Side Memories is an insightful account of one of our most famous neighborhoods and its power to shape identity.

An exceptional, informative, highly recommended history.......2001-01-11

Hasia Diner is the Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History at New York University. In Lower East Side Memories: A Jewish Place In America, she recounts the history of Manhattan's Lower East Side in terms of its Jewish community, largely populated by immigrants from Eastern Europe. During the years 1880-1930 it was never ethnically (or even religiously) homogenous. It was a place of tenements, poverty, sweatshops, packs of roaming children, a dark warren of pushcart-lined streets and social work pioneering. Professor Diner surveys its popular culture, and the impact of the Lower East Side as an icon symbol upon such diverse venues as children's stories, novels, movies, museum exhibits, television shows, summer-camp reenactments, walking tours, consumer catalogues -- even photos hung on deli walls. After World War II the Lower East Side was enshrined as the portal through which Jews passed from European oppression into the promise of America. After 1960, the Lower East Side gave secularized and suburban Jews a culturally transmitted story of their origins and heritage. Lower East Side Memories is an exceptional, informative, highly recommended history of a community, a heritage, and a cultural identity arising from one of the most distinctive and unique neighborhoods in American twentieth century history.

From the supplier: The Lower East Side in New York has been the concrete manifestation of Jewish cultural construct in the 1920s and 1930s taken in an American context. The life in the Lower East Side has demonstrated the history in the identity transformation of American Jews to Jewish American. It has acted as the primary site of evolving Jewish culture while establishing Jewish identity in America.

An Attack on Darwin by a professor of Classics???.......2007-05-08

I was excited to pick this book up at a used-book sale, as the title looked very promising. The first few chapters are straightforward enough: they describe Darwin's private and professional life from his youth until his publication of "The Origin of Species". It is from there that Farrington goes haywire: he tries to make us believe that a) Darwin believed in a Creator and, b) Darwin's theories about the similarities of man and animal (i.e., how man evolved from lower forms) is essentially wrong.

Darwin died not believing in a God and he regretted using the word "Creator" in the 2nd edition of "The Origin of Species" (see Wikipedia for publication history). With respect to the latter point, Farrington tries to distinguish between instinct and the mind, arguing that man's codes of behavior are not inherited. He calls them "human facts, not animal facts". Because this book was first published (1966) about 15 years before E.O. Wilson's "Sociobiology: A New Synthesis", Farrington can possibly be forgiven to think that all behaviors in animals are instinctive. Nevertheless, Darwin correctly stated in "The Descent of Man", "There can be no doubt that the difference between the mind of the lowest man and that of the highest animal is immense...Nevertheless the difference..., great as it its, certainly is one of degree and not kind."

As to how Stephen Jay Gould agreed to write an introduction to the 1996 edition of this book, I cannot understand. Perhaps it was because Gould could never come to grips with his belief in a God or get away from his previous attacks on Wilson for his views on human sociobiology (now widely viewed as being correct). Still, that is not an excuse; Gould should have known better and I think posterity will not treat him kindly. As for Farrington, an author on Classics and not a biologist, I hope his book on the Greeks is better.

More Farrington Than Darwin.......2007-02-22

What would you expect from the title? -An explanation and summary of Darwin's work. You get that. But very lightweight. Fully a third of this tiny book is not Darwin, but Farrington. The author takes the last third to explain Darwin's inadequacies with so-called modern hindsight, but basically turns the 'flaws' in Darwin to bring the book around to almost a repudiation of Darwin's scientific method, so that muddle-mindedness and religion can creep in the back door. I looked for a quick, articulate summary of Darwin, and got Church of England stuff way after Bishop Wilberforce.

Book Description

What is a forest? What are forests for? Who should control them? These are familiar questions, but the Allegheny casts them in a new light. The national environmental movement has become less willing to compromise since its victories in the Pacific Northwest, and the Allegheny is its newest proving ground. This book explains what activists are after, how the struggle differs from more familiar environmental battles and what it means for the future of the American landscape.
