Quite a text-book, but offers practical application.......2005-06-03
Bond lays all the cards on the table with his text-book approach to realignment of priorities and offers many tips on time management, organization, and other practical information. Could stand to be a bit more bearable.

Book Description
To which institutions or social practices should we grant authority? When should we instead assert our own sense of what is right or good or necessary?
In this book, James Boyd White shows how texts by some of our most important thinkers and writers—including Plato, Shakespeare, Dickinson, Mandela, and Lincoln—answer these questions, not in the abstract, but in the way they wrestle with the claims of the world and self in particular historical and cultural contexts. As they define afresh the institutions or practices for which they claim (or resist) authority, they create authorities of their own, in the very modes of thought and expression they employ. They imagine their world anew and transform the languages that give it meaning.
In so doing, White maintains, these works teach us about how to read and judge claims of authority made by others upon us; how to decide to which institutions and practices we should grant authority; and how to create authorities of our own through our thoughts and arguments. Elegant and accessible, this book will appeal to anyone wanting to better understand one of the primary processes of our social and political lives.

Book Description
Photosynthesis is the focus of a vast body of research, spanning studies of femtosecond reactions at the molecular level through to field studies requiring a whole season of observation. This is the first advanced-level treatment that covers the broad range of the topic within a single volume, thus constituting a uniquely comprehensive, authoritative and self-contained sourcebook. Compiled by an international team of experts, the volume considers the cell and molecular biology of chloroplasts and the latest information on the biochemistry and physiology of photosynthesis. It also covers ecological and applied aspects, such as photosynthesis, and global climate change, and crop productivity.

Book Description
Path integrals provide a powerful method for describing quantum phenomena. This book introduces the quantum mechanics of particles moving in curved space by employing path integrals and then using them to compute anomalies in quantum field theories. These anomalies provide enormous constraints in the search for physical theories such as those of elementary particles, quantum gravity and string theories. An advanced text for researchers and graduate students of quantum field theory and string theory, the first part is also a stand-alone introduction to path integrals in quantum mechanics.

I wish I'd been writing like this when I was in my 20s!.......2001-03-15
This is one of the wittiest books I've ever read and even though it's a book of mostly political essays, in coming back to it after having put it down for a day, I have that same sense of reentering another time and place populated by a host of interesting characters that you have with a really good novel. Here are just a couple quotes, selected at random:
"...the true tragedy of Oscar Wilde, the common enough tragedy of the clever young provincial who enters the deadly dull salons of London and, finding that the wit which was exacted from him as ordinary conversation by the more particular provinces is hailed as genius by the bored Londoners, forthwith abandons honest, artistic work."
[Defending Gaby Deslys, a dancer who was criticized for her scantily clad performance:] "When she crossed the Palace stage she turned the audience's thoughts to May mornings, and ices and money enough to go where you like. Now if most of us crossed the Palace stage, we would turn the audience's thoughts to November evenings and cold cocoa and thirty shillings a week in the Post Office."
And now a nonrandom selection, from a book review:
"The immense significance of this work lies in its binding."
The immense significance of this book lies not in the binding but in the ideas and observations of the brilliant mind whose words lie inside.

Customer Reviews:
The city is Worcester, Ma........2004-05-21
This book should really contain the name of the city (Worcester, Massachusetts ) in the subtitle. This reader believes an intimate knowledge of the city of Worcester is central to appreciating this book, otherwise the locations mentioned within the text will just appear as an unconnected litany of place names.. The book painstakingly plots the spread of the Irish immigrant community across the city landscape, parish by parish. It explains the political tightrope walk the Irish-American and the American-Irish developed with the host culture and with the newer immigrant cultures also attempting to assimilate. The author has done his homework. Quotes from leading figures, Irish community newspapers and political speeches are exhaustive. One interesting point that agrees with Andrew Greely's book on Irish-Americans is that the Irish outside of New York City and the Boston area. assimilated quickly into the melting pot, but the ethnic identity and more mature, less vibrant, industrial economies of the Northeast cities made the immigrant battle for a "piece of pie" more difficult, than in cities to the West. .The book shows that the history of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Worcester is a pretty effective barometer that highlighted the conflicts within the Irish-American community. The author is to be commended on the research, but any purchaser of this book should know that a knowledge of the city of Worcester and its institutions would be especially helpful to appreciate this book fully. I gave it a three star rating because the quotes and research became a little too tedious in some sections.

African Americans in Science, Math, and Invention.......2007-02-25
This biographical profile deals with the lives and scientific pursuits of 160 African-American scientists, mathematicians, and their inventions. It is a very well-done piece of work, and an excellent fact book for libraries both public and private. Individual entries can be read independently, which makes it an easy and suitable source of inspiration for young students seeking role models. Individuals covered go back to the 18th century when Benjamin Banneker was the only recognized African-American scientist/inventor.
What I particularly like about the book is its insightful introductory chapter. From it two things stand out. First, the insights of that chapter and the individual entries I read together paint vividly the difficult path many of those included in the book followed. The path was difficult not only because any scientific activity is a difficult pursuit, but also because these people faced very high artificial barriers-to-entry. Second, denied formal education and training, the scientific endeavors of African Americans progressed in a unique way; they began with invention, then science, and math. This is almost the opposite of what happened elsewhere, where the language of math advanced science and led to inventions.
It is quite clear that success in science, as elsewhere, was a function of political freedom. Many of the early African-American scientists, mathematicians, and inventors were people who somehow gained their freedom from slavery. As political freedom increased so too did the number of scientists, mathematicians, and inventors.
I like this book, I like it very much.

Book Description
An audio reference guide to the sounds made by 100 species of birds, mammals, frogs, and insects inhabiting the northwoods lake country wilderness. Includes a 60-minute audio compact disc and 40-page booklet. Each northwoods species is identified by name on the audio, followed by superb examples of its calls. The companion booklet provides written descriptions of each species' sounds along with habitat information and other interesting facts. "Northwoods" is defined as the transitional area where northern hardwood forest gradually gives way to the boreal evergreen forest. In the United States, this region stretches from Maine to Minnesota and includes lake country as well as high mountains, open bogs, upland meadows, and dense forest. In Canada, the northwoods stretches from Manitoba to the Maritime provinces.

Superb!!.......2000-10-07
This CD includes recordings of 100 species commonly heard in the north, including mostly birds, but also mammals, amphibians, and even an insect! Each selection is reasonably long and includes a variety of vocalizations, and the accompanying booklet is wonderful, clearly but simply explaining the contexts in which each sound is made. Lang Elliott scores another home run.
