Description:
Information technologies have proliferated at an unprecedented rate to provide access to information across geographical boundaries. However, this proliferation has led to an information overload. Information overload has adverse impacts on information use and decision quality. This research focuses on the overload problem resulting from a web search, and proposes a potential remedy. We develop the requirements of a system that makes use of clustering and visualization for browsing the results of a typical web search. Based on this model, we develop a prototype that visualizes search results by first organizing them into a hierarchy according to their individual contents. This system presents a visual overview of the groups in this hierarchy, and lets the users focus (zoom) on specific groups of interest. One general problem with zooming within hierarchical structures is the separation between the details and the context. To address this problem, we implement a fisheye zooming capability in our system. This paper describes a typology of the various components necessary for addressing the problem and then the proposed solution based upon a fisheye view-based visualization. Next, the specific visualization algorithm and the system implementation are described. We conclude with research questions for further development of such interfaces for presentation of the results from web searches.

Book Description
When some office workers have to deal with more than 350 e-mails per day, it's no wonder that complaints about Information Overload are on the rise. Communications expert Gerald Pepper has studied the problem and concludes that there are nine ways to deal with a glut of information -- both on the corporate level and on the individual or team level. For example, among numerous items in his detailed checklist, he suggests that managers try to encourage information pulling rather than information pushing. To be sure, says Pepper, managing information overload calls for action at individual, group, and company-wide levels. This article offers numerous ways that smart people can do just that. SuccessTools is a BH SmartDoc which provides a way to think about and start a key element on a management to-do list. This BH SmartDoc is published by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission.

Building Wealth Using the Tin Can Method.......2002-02-10
I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Margarette Perkins. It was very informative and prophetic.
In lieu of the economic climate of today, like the Enron downsizing, unethical mergers, people losing their 401K plans, pension plans going bust, and social security being tapped into by the federal government, this book was written way ahead of its time in the sense that these things are happening now. Not a day go by that you don't hear about corporate corruption with regard to employees' savings and investment plans.
One chapter that was very phophetic to me was Chapter 7 which is titled, "Reasons Not to Trust Man." From what I can see, this book was published in 1998, but look at what is going on with a company such as ENRON. And, this is 2002.
The author warned of these kinds of events years ago. As stated by Ms. Perkins, today we can no longer put our trust in the system. Our trust must be put in God and in ourselves to plan for our own financial future.
A definite must read for any individual seeking direction for their life regarding their finances!!!

Book Description
The Workshop Physics Activity Guide is a set of student workbooks designed to serve as the foundation for a two-semester calculus-based introductory physics course. It consists of 28 units that interweave text materials with activities that include prediction, qualitative observation, explanation, equation derivation, mathematical modeling, quantitative experiments, and problem solving. Students use a powerful set of computer tools to record, display, and analyze data, as well as to develop mathematical models of physical phenomena. The design of many of the activities is based on the outcomes of physics education research.
Book Description
Workshop Physics helps readers gain an understanding of physics concepts by applying them. Concepts are presented, then readers are asked to develop and test hypothesis, analyze data, and solve problems.
Book Description
"Let her go to Italy!" he cried. "Let her meddle with what she doesn't understand! Look at this letter! The man who wrote it will marry her, or murder her, or do for her somehow. He's a bounder, but he's not an English bounder. He's mysterious and terrible. He's got a country behind him that's upset people from the beginning of the world."
When a young English widow takes off on the grand tour and along the way marries a penniless Italian, her in-laws are not amused. That the marriage should fail and poor Lilia die tragically are only to be expected. But that Lilia should have had a baby -- and that the baby should be raised as an Italian! -- are matters requiring immediate correction by Philip Herriton, his dour sister Harriet, and their well-meaning friend Miss Abbott.
In his first novel, E. M. Forster anticipated the themes of cultural collision and the sterility of the English middle class that he would develop in A Room with a View and A Passage to India. Where Angels Fear to Tread is an accomplished, harrowing, and malevolently funny book, in which familiar notions of vice and virtue collapse underfoot and the best intentions go mortally awry.
Customer Reviews:
Where Angels Fear to Tread.......2007-07-25
In E. M. Forster's first novel, an effete English family and their acquaintances encounter an authentic and vital society in the hills of Italy. Vacuous Lilia visits Monteriano in Tuscany and impulsively marries. She realizes her mistake too late to save herself but her English in-laws attempt to rescue the issue of her marriage. Upon arriving in Monteriano, they find that their wealth and education count for less than they thought. Rigid Harriett breaks herself against the local culture and provokes a tragedy, but the more sensitive members of the rescue party, Philip and Miss Abbott, profit in ways that they did not expect.
Forster uses a quiet, simple style that lets the reader be moved by his rather sudden plot revelations. While this is a short novel, Forster finds room for a sincere appreciation of the charms of fictional Monteriano and some gentle humor. I imagine that this very approachable novel would appeal to many different types of readers.
Italy Charms Everyone in the Worst of Times [98].......2007-05-09
If one wishes to learn how Britain's rich entertained, lived and acted during the turn of the century, E.M. Forster and Evelyn Waugh deliver depictions as well as anyone of their generation.
This book delves little with interpersonal thoughts. Instead, it deals with dialogue. Rich, gooey, luscious dialogue where the characters reveal their characters, their thoughts, their inner beings by what words they choose to deliver to others.
In the staid world of turn-of-the-century Britain, the dialogue must be masterfully written as the people did not directly say what they felt. They were polite, but in a cold British manner. And, Forster's ability to write that type of British dialogue is unrivaled.
Additionally, this book - which is amid the wonderfully warm Italy - delivers a great ethical question: what to do with a baby born of a British mother (who dies in child birth) related to very impudent and snobby persons residing in the outskirts of London. Who does he belong to? His wealthy British relatives where he will be brought up well but little loved? Or with his loving Italian stallion 23-year-old father who has little money, knows nothing of rearing children and probably would fail (at least in a British perspective) in raising the child?
Forster delivered a similar ethical issue in "Howards End" where the last wish of a dying wife to her husband of many years (through oral bequest and written - but unwitnessed note - which contradicts her written will) is not followed by her husband and family who wish to keep their inheritance in exchange for dishonoring the matriarch's last wishes.
But, each issue is not finished with the sudden first response. In each book, more events occur which gloss the issue.
Read this book soon in time to "A Room With A View." Italy obviously touched Forster - this book and "Room With A View" are its derivatives. Thank you Italy for being you to Forster, who wrote that Italy ". . . sent me going as novelist."
Somewhat dated but still a worthwhile read.......2007-02-03
This book suffers from dated style and tone. Also, its one of those book where nothing much happens until EVERYTHING happens. Still, the characters are drawn with universal qualities and weaknesses and so it was a book to which I could relate. Forester is a subtle master in developing the theme that everyone is different than what they initially appear to be. A cad really can be a gentleman in disguise. "Angels" is a worthwhile read.
So Much Drama.......2006-09-06
Forster's novel highlights the interracial marriage between an English woman (Lilia) and an Italian man (Gino). Much of the discussion surrounds their marriage and its various negative and positive aspects, which are few. The characters revere the wealthy, English society as better than lower-class, Italian lifestyle, but their ideals are challenged by the death of Lilia and her son.
Even with the constant derision of the Italian culture, the characters do think Italians are more honest with themselves and their passions than the English are, and the characters who mention this idea are in many ways jealous of Gino and his people. The idea is raised that living in light of your passions could lead to a more fulfilling life than living with the standards of high English society. At the theatre, the Italian people are thoroughly enjoying themselves with a very intrusive atmosphere of theatre viewing, and the English characters will not put up with it. They consistently refuse to live life as it comes to them, instead deciding that it must be processed through the socially acceptable constructs of English culture.
Reviewed by Jonathan Stephens
Good, short read.......2005-10-03
Hovering somewhere around 100 pages, _Where Angels Fear to Tread_ is a good, short weekend read. The novela tells the story of an upperclass British family that travels to Italy to save the son of their late daughter-in-law from a savage upbringing by his Italian father, their daughter-in-laws second husband. There aren't a whole lot of happy moments in the novella - on the whole it's pretty depressing, but it was never boring, and the characters, some lovable, some completely aggravating, were at least interesting. Having never read any other works by E.M. Forster, I am not cut out to comment on style, but knowing that this was his first work makes me really want to read his later novels - this was great for a first effort, so I'm sure his more mature work is fantastic.

Book Description
Where Angels Fear to Tread delves in depth into the universal questions about the nature of reality, the meaning of God, and the truth of human existence from the viewpoint of physics and science. What is God? Why do we perceive objects as solid, when in truth, they are not? Where does religion fit in? Is this life only a dream-like existence? What is the Dark Energy that fills the universe? Are we influenced by the values and beliefs of the masses? Can we influence our own life events, and if so, how? With a degree in physics and mathematics, author Alex Morrey provides answers to these questions in a provocative and powerfully written manner that will broaden every truth seeker's knowledge and leave readers captivated and greatly enriched.

The universe, although real, is an illusion........2006-04-12
Where Angels Fear To Tread: The Nature of Reality and the Meaning of God
This New York Times Book Review was written by Ellen Tanner Marsh.
What is reality? Is what we see really what is truly there? Not according to Alex Morrey's thought-provoking new book, Where Angels Fear To Tread. The Nature of Reality and the Meaning of God.
Forget what you think you know about the universe. Our universe, according to Morrey, is a consequence of our collective space-time beliefs. What we see and feel and sense are not really based on objective fact at all, but rather on our shared "universal belief" that reveals to us a reality we've all seemingly agreed to accept.
But what about the greater reality, one that encompasses dreams, psychic phenomena and precognitive dreaming? Can we be consciously aware of both the real world and this dream world? And how do we get closer to this ultimate reality, which encompasses both?
Morrey's book is filled with fascinating accounts of how the human brain can shape our world. True Reality in theological terms. Morrey says, is nothing less than "the mind of God," with Jesus of Nazareth as an example of how we should aspire to live within it, as a Real self. But can we make inroads to this Reality? Can we heal ourselves and, as good Christians or better still Realists, heal the world as well?
Morrey's prose is clear-eyed, inspirational and so provocatively smart that it's downright exhilarating. Read this book and you'll never look at the world the same way again.
