Book Description

Until now, techniques for analyzing machinery replacement decisions have not kept pace with the technology of machinery design and development. While machinery design improves almost annually, information to provide a similar level of technology for replacement decisions has been almost nonexistent...until now. This book is designed to bring together two important aspects of a machinery replacement decision. First, it offers a real world comparative cost analysis of machinery replacement alternatives: repair and keep using your present machine; trade for a new machine; trade for a used machine; rent or lease a machine; or use a custom operator. It allows an owner to determine the best time to trade, or consider the size and number of machines to own. The comparative analysis is based on net unit cost (i.e., cost per acre or cost per hour of use). Net unit cost simulates your cash flow over a specified period of time. It includes such important considerations as income tax credit and timeliness costs. Second, it develops an analysis of your financial situation to help determine the feasibility of each alternative. The financial analysis includes consideration of new family income; cash flows; debt obligations; and machinery loans. References are provided throughout the book and in the appendix that helps you adept depreciation, repairs, and timeliness costs that apply to your own situation. The final product is the selection of the best alternative that can be financially supported from your farm income. Its own software for computer users supports this book. You can even print the results in a format that will support a loan application to finance replacing or repairing your equipment.

Book Description

The vertical seismic profile, acquired with an array of 3C receivers and either a single source or several arranged in a multi-component configuration, provides an ideal high fidelity calibration tool for seismic projects involved in the application of seismic anisotropy. This book catalogues the majority of specialized tools necessary to work with P-P, P-S and S-S data from such VSP surveys at the acquisition design, processing and interpretation stages. In particular, it discusses 3C, 4C, 6C and 9C VSP, marine and land surveys with near and multiple offsets (walkways), azimuths (walkarounds) or a combination of both. These are considered for TIH or TIV flavours of seismic anisotropy arising from cracks, fractures, sedimentary layering, and shales. The anisotropic adaptation of familiar seismic methods for velocity analysis and inversion, reflected amplitude interpretation, are given together with more multi-component specific algorithms based upon the principles dictated by the vector convolutional model. Thus, multi-component methods are described that provide tests and compensation for source or receiver vector fidelity, tool rotation correction, layer stripping, near-surface correction, wavefield separation, and the Alford rotation with its variants. The work will be of interest to geophysicists involved in research or the application of seismic anisotropy using multi-component seismic.

best best best; thanks for the book........2007-09-05

i ordered it and got it in a very good condition and in time. customer service is awesome. my blessings. keep up the good work.

Disgusting ripoff.......2006-11-21

Do you guys know that this book sells in Europe for about 70 bucks? That's HALF its price in the US and about the right price it should have. Then why does it sell for twice as much in the US? Because of the "cooperation" between publishing companies and colleg professors who force thier college students to spend unbelievable sums to get textbooks. I understand (but don't justify) the greedy publishing companies behavious, but why do college professors allow these crooks to go on with this business?

Excellent to get the primer.......2006-07-05

Excellent if you are new to physics and need a straight forward text. The exercises will get to the point and are easy to follow. The shipments were fast and the condition of the book was good.

Honors problem anyone?.......2006-05-06

This book is straight to the point. I mean this book would give you the most important concepts in Physics. The good thing about this book is that the exercises and problems are REALLY challenging. It would require you an absolute understanding of the concepts and great mathematical skills. If you don't have the solutions manual. From what I know the exercises and problems given in a Physics Olympiad is based from this book. Some of the question. So if you want to sharpen your skills in Physics I suggest this book.

Still alive and well.......2006-03-28

More than thirty years ago, when I was an engineering student, my physics "Bible" was Halliday & Resnick, Physics for Students of Science and Engineering, 1st Edition. This is a book that has aged gracefully. While the basic physics concepts were retained, the examples have been updated in each revision to keep up with the technology advances. Now in its seventh edition since Walker started to collaborate with the previous authors, it is still one of the most enjoyable readings in elementary physics. I recommend it without reservation.

Although the book is certainly helpful, they offer a student solutions manual, a CD-ROM, and a website with answers to selected problems. But, they do not tell you where to find the website with the answers to the selected problems, nor do they give you a price on the other items available to help you use this textbook.

The simplest thing would be to describe Everything Is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer's accomplished debut, as a novel about the Holocaust. It is, but that really fails to do justice to the sheer ambition of this book. The main story is a grimly familiar one. A young Jewish American--who just happens to be called Jonathan Safran Foer--travels to the Ukraine in the hope of finding the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. He is aided in his search by Alex Perchov, a naïve Ukrainian translator, Alex's grandfather (also called Alex), and a flatulent mongrel dog named Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. On their journey through Eastern Europe's obliterated landscape they unearth facts about the Nazi atrocities and the extent of Ukrainian complicity that have implications for Perchov as well as Safran Foer. This narrative is not, however, recounted from (the character) Jonathan Safran Foer's perspective. It is relayed through a series of letters that Alex sends to Foer. These are written in the kind of broken Russo-English normally reserved for Bond villains or Latka from Taxi. Interspersed between these letters are fragments of a novel by Safran Foer--a wonderfully imagined, almost magical realist, account of life in the shtetl before the Nazis destroyed it. These are in turn commented on by Alex, creating an additional metafictional angle to the tale.

If all this sounds a little daunting, don't be put off; Safran Foer is an extremely funny as well as intelligent writer who combines some of the best Jewish folk yarns since Isaac Bashevis Singer with a quite heartbreaking meditation on love, friendship, and loss. --Travis Elborough, Amazon.co.uk

Book Description

With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man -- also named Jonathan Safran Foer -- sets out to find the woman who may or may not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war; an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior; and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.

Completely overrated.......2007-10-10

This is one of those books that I think of as an "Emperor's New Clothes" book, one that everyone oohs and aahs over because they think they're supposed to, so they'll seem smart and deep. Well, call me a shallow dummy because the time-jumping plot is confusing and many touches, such as Foer's grandfather's sexual prowess, are baffling and unnecessary. The language, supposedly whimsical and mystical, annoyed me to no end. The only vaguely entertaining parts of the book are Alex the translator's sections, and they are threaded with an undercurrent of mockery (on the author's part). The only reason I managed to plow through this book is because I read it while I was on vacation and it was the only reading material I had. Save your money and read his far more talented wife's book, A History of Love.

hate it at page 40.......2007-07-21

I was immediately put off by Alex the narrator. Yes he has a unique voice, but the author is trying too hard to be clever with him. It might be funny for 5 pages, but not 45.

And Foer, the character, writes his "novel within the novel" about a Ukranian Jewish community that is a caricature of a community. Perhaps this is intended, but I didn't care for it. Maybe if I was intimately familiar with the culture's foibles, I would find it immediately funny. But since I'm not, I had no sympathy built up to enjoy the caricature -- to laugh with it, and not at it. And again, since it tries too hard, I couldn't even do that. And possibly I missed the author's intentions entirely -- was this part to be taken seriously but lightly, with the magical realism going on?

Maybe I haven't given it a chance, or didn't "get it", but I don't like suffering through things I don't care for these days.

Nothing is illuminated on the CD Version.......2007-07-04

I read the Recorded Books Unabridged Audio CD version of this book, and I'm convinced now that was a major mistake. Not every book translates well to the CD form. My favorites are nonfiction books such as histories and biographies. This rendition is an example of why it's frequently better to read novels in their original form, on paper. The CD form (like the movies) allows for too much interpretation.

On this CD, Alex sounded like a clown with an accent one would find in a comedy club; the history of Trachinbrod came across as pure foolishness and a waste of time, sound and space; grandfather as a bellowing maniac. I'm aware that the novel has been called brilliant and that it is highly praised by many. Perhaps on paper that is true, but I found it nearly impossible to listen to the CD.

As far as the plot is concerned I found it tortured and confusing. The holocaust story that emerges at the end is a tale of great sadness and pain but it's not enough to save the nonsensical plot and overly clever writing. I was reminded of Styron's Sophies Choice, which was a much, much better book.

If you plan to read this book, skip the CD and read the novel.

Lovely, But Slightly Overrated.......2007-07-02

I honestly loved the unconventional technique, and I wasn't that bothered by the lack of historical accuracy. I choose to think of it as a mixture of Jewish magic realism and artistic license.

Read the Book First.......2007-06-03

This is a fine book which, to enjoy to its fullest, must be read without having seen the film first. It should be said that a couple of off-hand remarks near the beginning of the book give away a major plot point of whose importance we are not yet aware. Having already seen the film, it made the book much harder (and, sadly, less enjoyable) to read. [The film itself is marvelously bittersweet, gets under your skin, and, like the book, doesn't let go. Choices must always be made in what to bring to the screen and what to leave out; good choices were made here. The film works incredibly well on its own.] I'm writing this review partially in response to the frustration expressed in an earlier review titled "Skip the book, see the movie" and to say that if you enjoy reading, please buy the book and read it before experiencing the film, as when one sees everything with the eyes first, it takes away so much of the beauty and surprise of the printed word.
