Book Description

To Soar with Eagles is a collection of letters, anecdotes and conversations spanning the ten-year period of a unique relationship between the world famous Danish author Isak Dinesen (Baroness Karen Blixen) and the young African American musician Eugene Haynes. Dinesen, once considered for the Nobel Prize, is best known for her books Out of Africa, Seven Gothic Tales, Winter's Tales and Angelic Avengers.

The friendship between Isak Dinesen and Eugene Haynes has been written about in several of her biographies: Judith Thurman's Isak Dinesen-The Life of a Storyteller; Olga Pelensky's Isak Dinesen-The Life and Imagination of a Seducer; and most extensively in Parmenia Migel's Titania-The Biography of Isak Dinesen.

After reading To Soar With Eagles, William Maxwell, noted author and former literary editor for the New Yorker called it " a constant pleasure and a real treat."

5 out of 5 stars To Soar With Eagles.......2001-05-31

This is long overdue, albeit, brief view of a long and lustrous career of a man who never received the accolades in this country that he should have. Many musical luminaries in the world have paid tribute to him, including his friend Miles Davis. This book covers about a 10 year period in his career, mostly in Europe. It details elements of his career and the friends he made while there. There is a section of the book with photographs of many of these frriends and some of his family.. Other members of my family have read the book and found it to be informative and an interesting story of this renowned classical musician who never really attained the kind of fame many of his comtempories received. I recommend it highly if you are looking for an autobiography of a remarkable man and just a small part of his career.

          This is not a book about eagles, but a lot of it is about what I believe that eagles do for each of us . . . Way up there in their craggy aeries, we can, through an eagle's eye, look on life with a new perspective. A collection of thought for people seeking direction in a world of challenge, a world of opportunity. Insight! Ingenuity! Enthusiasm!

                  5 out of 5 stars Interrogation and "confession" revealed.......2002-02-19

                  Although Miranda's Waning Protections is written by a law professor whose primary audience is lawyers or law students, the book is surprisingly accessible to lay readers. The book describes how Miranda v. Arizona (1966) limited police interrogation practices, and how court decisions since then have watered down its original intent. Even for readers lacking a legal background, the account of how the Supreme Court tries to balance law enforcement's interest in obtaining confessions with protecting individuals against abusive interrogation practices is engaging and interesting. And, White explains why Miranda, as interpreted by the current Supreme Court, provides scant protection for individuals subjected to police interrogation.
                  Several parts of the book provide detailed accounts of police interrogations, the kinds of tactics police interrogators use, and
                  why these strategies sometimes lead to false confessions.
                  Some of these accounts, though horrifying, are fascinating reading. In Chapter 12, White provides excerpts from the taped interrogation of Peter Reilly, a teenager accused of murdering his mother, and his subsequent false confession. This really happens, though it happens to read like a TV script.
                  Chapter 7, "How modern interrogators have adapted to Miranda," shows police strategies that negate the effect of the Miranda warnings. White presents a stark and disturbing picture of exhausted suspects who are interrogated, and sometimes tortured, for hours without intermission. Mentally disabled suspects are tricked into confessing to crimes they didn't commit.
                  The author provides at least a sketch of some unforgettable
                  characters who participated in the struggle: Fred Inbau, who
                  fervently believed that the Interrogation Manuals he wrote for the
                  police would only result in truthful and fairly obtained confessions; Yale Kamisar, the law professor who eloquently defended the rights of suspects; and the "indefatigable" Paul Cassell who zealously sought to overturn Miranda.
                  After explaining the problems with Miranda and other cases
                  governing police interrogation practices, the author proposes some
                  sensible remedies. Perhaps the most interesting, in its simplicity, is a procedure under which most police interrogations would be video-taped so at least judges will be in a better position to determine whether or not the police have employed abusive practices to obtain a confession and whether the suspect's confession appears to be in fact truthful.

                      Book Description

                      In this book fifteen distinguished scientists discuss the effects of life--past and present--on planet Earth. Unlike other earth science and biology books, Environmental Evolution describes the impact of life on the Earth's rocky surfaces presenting an integrated view of how our planet evolved. Modeled on the Environmental Evolution course developed by Lynn Margulis and colleagues, it provides a unique synthesis of atmospheric, biological, and geological hypotheses that explain the present condition of the biosphere. The book develops scientific concepts essential to the reconstruction of the intertwined history of Earth's air, rocks, water, and life.

                      After an introduction by James E. Lovelock on Gaia theory, the material proceeds in roughly chronological order from the origin of life in the early Archean Eon to the emergence of new environmental diseases in today's industrialized world. The second edition has been thoroughly revised, with more comprehensive chapters, additional illustrations, and new references.

                                Book Description

                                Magnetic reconnection is at the core of many dynamic phenomena in the universe, such as solar flares, geomagnetic substorms and tokamak disruptions. Written by two world leaders on the subject, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of this fundamental process. Coverage gives both a pedagogical account of the basic theory and a wide-ranging review of the physical phenomena created by reconnection--from laboratory machines, the Earth's magnetosphere, and the Sun's atmosphere to flare stars and astrophysical accretion disks. It also includes a succinct account of particle acceleration by electric fields, stochastic fields and shock waves, and how reconnection can be important in these mechanisms. Clearly written and highly accessible, this volume serves as an essential introduction for graduate students in solar physics, astrophysics, plasma physics and space science. Researchers in these fields also will find Magnetic Reconnection an authoritative reference.

                                  Book Description

                                  This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of magnetic field line reconnection, now a major subject in plasma physics. Biskamp focuses on the various reconnection mechanisms dominating magnetic processes under the different plasma conditions encountered in astrophysical systems and in laboratory fusion devices. The book consists of two major parts: the first deals with the classical resistive approach, while the second presents an overview of weakly collisional or collisionless plasmas. Applications primarily concern astrophysical phenomena and dynamo theory, with emphasis on the solar and geodynamo, as well as magnetospheric substorms--the most spectacular reconnection events in the magnetospheric plasma. The theoretical procedures and results also apply directly to reconnection processes in laboratory plasmas, in particular the sawtooth phenomenon in tokamaks. The book will be of value to graduate students and researchers interested in magnetic processes both in astrophysical and laboratory plasma physics.

                                          Book Description

                                          The book contains courses taught to a public of Ph.D. students, post-docs and confirmed researchers in all fields of heliospheric plasma physics. It aims at identifying physical issues which are common to two different fields of astronomy: solar and magnetospheric physics. Emphasis is given to basic processes of transport and conversion of energy: magnetic reconnection is discussed in detail from the viewpoints of MHD and kinetic physics. Processes of charged particle acceleration are reviewed and compared with recent observations. The subject is introduced by a summary of MHD, and the basic structures and parameters of the solar atmosphere, terrestrial ionosphere and magnetosphere are reviewed. The book combines a pedagogic and comprehensive presentation of physical issues and raises fully open questions, with the complementary and sometimes conflicting views of geophysicists and solar physicists. The book's focus, while basic, opens new avenues.

                                                  Book Description

                                                  Book number 19 in the original Tom Swift series.

                                                  Tom Swift has gone through four series and through generations of the Tom Swift family. Quiet Vision has republished the first twenty five titles in the original Tom Swift series. The original Tom Swift series is referred to as Tom Swift Sr.

                                                  Quiet Vision tracks Tom Swift from "His Motor Cycle" to "His Electric Locomotive." Many characters reoccur through the series including:Mary Nestor, who Tom eventually marries, Mr. Damon who is always blessing almost everything, Eradicate Sampson and his mule Boomerang who is braver and more intelligent than assumed and many others.

                                                  Called an inventor, Tom Swift is more of a talented mechanic with a special love for airships and airplanes.

                                                  Professor Swyington Bumper seemed to live in a region all by himself. Though he was on board the Bellaconda, he might just as well have been in an airship, or riding along on the back of a donkey, as far as his knowledge, or recognition, of his surroundings went. He seemed to be thinking thoughts far, far away, and he was never without a book--either a bound volume or a note-book. In the former he buried his hawk-like nose.

                                                  3 out of 5 stars A hollow mountain? Unbelievable! .......2005-05-15

                                                  This story in the original series is not one of the stronger ones, in that there is no "great" invention. To me, one of the greatest strengths in all of the Tom Swift series was the grandiose nature of the inventions. A Mr. Job Titus approaches Tom, seeking his help in blasting a tunnel through the Andes Mountains in Peru. The Titus Brothers Company has been hired by the Peruvian government to blast a long railroad tunnel through the mountains and they have encountered some extremely hard rock. This has slowed them considerably, and they are in danger of falling behind schedule and failing to meet their deadline. Tom agrees to aid them and he travels to the construction site in Peru.
                                                  The site is primitive and the workforce is made up of a small number of white overseers and a large number of native laborers. Given the date when the original was written, the natives are lazy and the whites hard working. After some labor difficulties when an entire work gang disappears from the tunnel and some attempts by rivals to sabotage the job, Tom's group triumphs. In their construction, they unearth an entire ancient city that was somehow buried in a hollow space in the mountain. In fact, the proposed location of the railroad tunnel goes right down an arterial road on the edge of the town. This means that no part of the city has to be destroyed for the railroad and Tom's group is saved a large amount of excavating. This was absurd; it is difficult to see how a hollow mountain could somehow grow around a city.
                                                  I cannot get excited about this story, the invention of a more powerful explosive is the only new idea and some of the plot lines are very farfetched, even for a Tom Swift story.
