Customer Reviews:
Brilliant.......2006-05-15
Jane Hughes is perhaps the most brilliant mind in the field of global economic markets and international banking today. "Carnival on Wall Street" is a perfect example of her ability to present her profound insights and incisive analysis in a way that is utterly readable. This book is a must-read for anybody interested in the 1990's financial boom or the movement of markets in general. Also, her book "New Tigers and Old Elephants" is the authoritative volume on development in the 21st century.

Book Description
This volume opens up new perspectives on the physics of the Earth's interior for graduate students and researchers working in the fields of geophysics and geodesy. It looks at our planet in an integrated fashion, linking the physics of its interior to the geophysical and geodetic techniques that record, over a broad spectrum of spatial wavelengths, the ongoing modifications in the shape and gravity field of the planet. Basic issues related to the rheological properties of the Earth's mantle and to its slow deformation will be understood, in both mathematical and physical terms, within the framework of an analytical normal mode relaxation theory. Fundamentals of this theory are developed in the first, tutorial part. The second part deals with a wide range of applications, ranging from changes in the Earth's rotation to post-seismic deformation and sea-level variations induced by post-glacial rebound. In the study of the physics of the Earth's interior, the book bridges the gap between seismology and geodynamics.

More Surprises in Theoretical Physics (Princeton Series in Physics)
ASIN: 0691082421 |
Book Description
This book is based on the author's lectures at the University of Washington in the spring of 1977 and at the Institut de Physique Nucleaire, Universite de Paris-Sud, Orsay, during the winter of 1977-1978.
Book Description
Like its predecessor, this book by the renowned physicist Sir Rudolf Peierls draws from many diverse fields of theoretical physics to present problems in which the answer differs from what our intuition had led us to expect. In some cases an apparently convincing approximation turns out to be misleading; in others a seemingly unmanageable problem turns out to have a simple answer. Peierls's intention, however, is not to treat theoretical physics as an unpredictable game in which such surprises happen at random. Instead he shows how in each case careful thought could have prepared us for the outcome. Peierls has chosen mainly problems from his own experience or that of his collaborators, often showing how classic problems can lend themselves to new insights. His book is aimed at both graduate students and their teachers. Praise for Surprises in Theoretical Physics: "A beautiful piece of stimulating scholarship and a delight to read. Physicists of all kinds will learn a great deal from it."--R. J. Blin-Stoyle, Contemporary Physics

You must change your life (start with that shirt!).......2006-07-25
This is not a dollop of fluff, or a fop's manifesto - it is an alchemical text, a tale of transformation. Barbey starts with the curious Regency personality, George "Beau" Brummel, to articulate a philosophy of dandyism, whose central tenet can be described thusly: in a world which is no longer shot through with moral/transcedental authority - those strong fictions which once upon a time served as the genetic code of the "soul" - one must undertake the careful fabrication of character.
Who can observe the occult workings of chance, which Jules Barbey identified as the purview of the devil? Our souls are crafted par hasard: culture, family, faith, genetics, chemical disposition, weather. Dandyism is taking what chance has provided us (whether clothing or language, etc.) and arranging it to our taste, creating a unique being out of the void of moral commonalty. It has nothing to do with color-coordination or knowing your designers. It is a gnostic project.
All must seek the grail, make the hadj, travel the via dolorosa. The dandy makes his own way, by his own light: to live as an instance of art, of perfect egotism; to actualize the possibility of self or soul as objet d'art, existential accessory: a boutonniere in the fabric of his nothingness.

Book Description
Who are today's dandies? Why do modern dandies hate suits and love attitude? Do dandies prefer ecstasy? Can women be dandies? Are you a dandy?
When people began to take the Regency Dandy Beau Brummell seriously, modern fashion started. Now history has come full circle. Dandyism, once the preserve of male aristocrats can put on stle and be a modern George Brummell: rock stars, rappers, chat show hosts, film stars.
But, writes George Walden in this scintillating essay, in these two hundred years it has not become any easier to be a genuine dandy. One only needs to read teh seminal essay on Brummell by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, he argues, to understand what is happening in the world of style today.
