    Book Description

    This book examines technological innovation and workplace restructuring carried out by News Corporation in its newspaper holdings in Britain, the United States and Australia. Timothy Marjoribanks finds that while some outcomes at various local sites were similar, many were dramatically different. His study reveals that existing social relations in a particular location have a major impact on workplace reforms. Significantly, it emphasizes the importance of analyzing the connections between events occurring locally, nationally and globally if we are to understand the growing influence of corporate actors such as News Corporation.

          Book Description

          This is the first broad cross-country assessment of the ties between financial structure -- the mix of financial instruments, institutions, and markets in a given economy -- and economic growth since Raymond Goldsmith's 1969 landmark study. Most studies focus on developed countries and compare bank-based and market-based systems. Debates over the relative merits of the two systems have relied on case studies of Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, countries with similar long-run growth rates. The absence of data on developing countries limits the usefulness of such studies for policy makers.

          The book contains recently acquired cross-country data from almost 150 countries. It includes information on the size, efficiency, and activity of banks, insurance companies, pension and mutual funds, finance companies, and stock and bond markets. It also incorporates information on each country's political, economic, and social environment. The chapters contain a mix of case studies, cross-country studies, macro- and micro-oriented approaches, and analytical and empirical work. The conclusions point not to markets versus banks, but to markets and banks. It is how well a financial system functions that is critical for long-run economic growth. The research suggests that strong legal rights for outside investors and the overall efficiency of contract enforcement are effective tools for developing the financial sector and the economy. The book includes a CD containing World Bank data.

                Book Description

                This pathbreaking collection of thirteen original essays examines the moral rights of the subjects of documentary film, photography, and television. Image makers--photographers and filmmakers--are coming under increasing criticism for presenting images of people that are considered intrusive and embarrassing to the subject. Portraying subjects in a "false light," appropriating their images, and failing to secure "informed consent" are all practices that intensify the debate between advocates of the right to privacy and the public's right to know. Discussing these questions from a variety of perspectives, the authors here explore such issues as informed consent, the "right" of individuals and minority groups to be represented fairly and accurately, the right of individuals to profit from their own image, and the peculiar moral obligations of minorities who image themselves and the producers of autobiographical documentaries. The book includes a series of provocative case studies on: the documentaries of Frederick Wiseman, particularly Titicut Follies; British documentaries of the 1930s; the libel suit of General Westmoreland against CBS News; the film Witness and its portrayal of the Amish; the film The Gods Must be Crazy and its portrayal of the San people of southern Africa; and the treatment of Arabs and gays on television. The first book to explore the moral issues peculiar to the production of visual images, Image Ethics will interest a wide range of general readers and students and specialists in film and television production, photography, communications, media, and the social sciences.

                    3 out of 5 stars SOIL SEEN AS A DELICATE AND COMPLICATED ECOSYSTEM.......2004-06-18

                    It is an excellent idea to produce a soil text featuring the nature of the soil and its multiple interactions and transformations as a fragile and non-renewable component of the ecosystem, needing appropriate monitoring and protection or remediation when degraded. But the final result of the translated text (from French) of the 13 chapters and one annex, by 21 French experts, is somewhat unbalanced and inadequate. Because it is intended for use as a text for high schools and undergraduate students, each chapter (except of two) has a short glossary of some of the technical terms used and a brief list of references for further reading, mostly of French publications only. The chapters are brief and well illustrated, though the language used bears indication of translation which better editing could have avoided. It is good to see soil treated as a significant life support system but its other important functions are hardly mentioned. There is no index; and why is the cost three times as high as the original French edition published five years ago?

                            Book Description

                            This introduction to the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) describes some of the best-understood neural networks in the animal kingdom at cellular, network, behavioral, comparative, and evolutionary levels of analysis.

                            The STNS is a model system for all researchers who are trying to understand how neural networks actually function. The various chapters introduce different aspects of this system, including its neuronal and synaptic properties, modulation, modeling, behavior, and evolution. The concluding chapter compares the properties of this network to other vertebrate and invertebrate networks.

                            Ronald M. Harris-Warrick is Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. Eve Marder is Professor of Biology at Brandeis University. Allen 1. Selverston is Professor of Biology at the University of California, San Diego. Maurice Moulins is Professor of Biology at the Université de Bordeaux.

                                              Book Description

                                              In modern physics, the classical vacuum of tranquil nothingness has been replaced by a quantum vacuum with fluctuations of measurable consequence. In The Quantum Vacuum, Peter Milonni describes the concept of the vacuum in quantum physics with an emphasis on quantum electrodynamics. He elucidates in depth and detail the role of the vacuum electromagnetic field in spontaneous emission, the Lamb shift, van der Waals, and Casimir forces, and a variety of other phenomena, some of which are of technological as well as purely scientific importance.
                                              This informative text also provides an introduction based on fundamental vacuum processes to the ideas of relativistic quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory, including renormalization and Feynman diagrams. Experimental as well as theoreticalaspects of the quantum vacuum are described, and in most cases details of mathematical derivations are included.
                                              Chapter 1 of The Quantum Vacuum - published in advance in The American Journal of Physics (1991)-was later selected by readers as one of the Most Memorable papers ever published in the 60-year history of the journal. This chapter provides anexcellent beginning of the book, introducing a wealth of information of historical interest, the results of which are carefully woven into subsequent chapters to form a coherent whole.

                                              Key Features
                                              * Does not assume that the reader has taken advanced graduate courses, making the text accessible to beginning graduate students
                                              * Emphasizes the basic physical ideas rather than the formal, mathematical aspects of the subject
                                              * Provides a careful and thorough treatment of Casimir and van der Waals forces at a level of detail not found in any other book on this topic
                                              * Clearly presents mathematical derivations

                                              4 out of 5 stars Good at what it covers.......2006-04-14

                                              This is primarily a book on quantum electrodynamics, with a focus on the zero-point energy fluctuations. The thing I really liked about it is that the physics doesn't take a backseat to formalism, the same effect is also often examined from several different angles. Another nice this is that the effects of the electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations on atoms is often considered.

                                              The book opens with a chapter covering some of the earlier work that hinted at vacuum fluctuations, for example blackbody radiation and spontaneous emissions. Following this the vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field are derived.

                                              Then some interesting physics is presented. The Casimir effect is covered briefly. The Casimir effect is returned to frequently throughout the book, in fact it's one of the central topics of it. The Unruh-Davies effect is derived and a physical explanation is given for it, there is also a discussion of what a freefalling observer with a charge sees. Although not mentioned in the book, the analogous effect has important implications for Hawking radiation. Many other effects are considered. One that I thought was particularly interesting is that the van der Waals force between atoms that lack permanent magnetic dipole moments is ultimately caused by vacuum fluctuations. Van der Waals forces are covered in great detail as the book proceeds.

                                              The final four chapters read like a quick introduction to quantum field theory similar to the approach in Bjorken and Drell. The contents are roughly: the Dirac equation, some of its effects (e.g. Zitterbewegung and vacuum polarization), the realization that the Dirac equation has issues as a single particle theory, second quantization, renormalization and Feynman diagrams. One of the interesting results is the calculation of the Casimir type force caused by the electron field. Other than that, not much else from this part of the book stood out for me.

                                              This isn't a comprehensive book on field theory in general or even quantum electrodynamics, however I do think it adds a lot of insight into quantum electrodynamics and the physical effects of the vacuum. It is very detailed in the things it covers and often adds insight by looking at a problem from several angles. I also think parts of the book would be very useful for somebody studying atomic physics.

                                              2 out of 5 stars Beware.......2005-10-18

                                              First of all the content adresses the subject well and it is
                                              useful for someone in quantum electrodynamics. Similar
                                              information has been given in other books.

                                              HOWEVER.... I have to agree with the last reviewer. This book
                                              seems to be a copy of the original book, even though cleanly
                                              done ! ...outside cover cheaply printed on spine, no front print,
                                              inside pages are photocopies and not original quality press
                                              printing !!!! In all, it looks like a well done black market copy
                                              rather than an original Academic Press book.
                                              BEWARE of buying this version. Other sources might be
                                              recommended.

                                              1 out of 5 stars Bad quality item.......2005-07-02


                                              About the quality of the edition only.

                                              Academic Press has done it again: charge you more than 100$ for a crappy book. That is, very bad quality printing, the text seems like if scanned first and then printed in a laser wich gives it a piggy typeface, to complement this the pages are glued instead of sewn. Very well done, overall quality and durability of a cheap paperback for only 115$.


                                              5 out of 5 stars A thoughtful account of QED.......2001-07-17

                                              This is an original, pedagogical, and scholarly account of quantum electrodynamics. It does not imitate other books. The author has his own points of view which are personal and insightful. The subject is presented as a part of physics with many applications to Casimir forces, Van der Waals forces, radiation and spectra of atoms, vacuum fluctuations, quantum optics etc. The author gives the impression that he explains what he has really understood and he makes you curious about the things that he has not. I like this book and recommend it; it has integrity.
