Very heavy.......2005-09-10

This book is easy to read and navigate, but it seriously weighs a ton. It must be close to 7lbs.

Clear and detailed book.......2004-07-14

Design:
Well-designed with appropriate section headings. There are also short notes by the side of the pages, emphasizing the important points. Colored boxes were used to show illustrations and applications of real issues.

Content:
This book is based on the U.S. accounting standards. It is very factual, detailed and clear in explanations. There are also well-illustrated examples to enhance students' understanding of the concepts. Issues covered include classifications of items in the financial statements and measuring the items accurately. Ethical concerns are also addressed in the classification and measurement.

For who:
Definitely a good book for students seeking understanding of the concepts behind U.S. accounting standards. As the title suggests, students should have prior knowledge of accounting like basic bookkeeping and double-entry rules. However, given the changing business environment and recent accounting scandals, students should also visit the SEC websites and read the news for better understanding and keeping up-to-date with accounting standards.

Book Description

In Limiting Risks and Sharing Losses in the Globalized Capital Market Barry Hager draws lessons from recent international financial crises--Mexico in 1994-95 and Asia in 1997, affecting Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, and Japan.

Some lessons concern local elements of the crises, such as the effects of hiding economic weaknesses from outsiders. Others concern international elements, such as the need to reduce the volatility of the almost incomprehensibly large and complex world of currency trading and capital movement. Hager shows that these financial crises relate to traditional foreign policy concerns, such as ensuring that the stresses of economic restructuring, which international institutions often demand as a condition of financial aid, do not weaken young democracies or make the recipient country hostile to the United States and the international community.

Limiting Risks gathers thoughtful conclusions drawn in a series of public discussions and small group meetings sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, involving many individuals with policy-making experience at major national and international financial institutions.

Book Description

The strong investments into optical telecommunications in the late 1990s resulted in a wealth of new research, techniques, component designs, and understanding of polarization effects in fiber. Polarization Optics in Telecommunications brings together recent advances in the field to create a standard, practical reference for component designers and optical fiber communication engineers. Beginning with a sound foundation in electromagnetism, the author offers a dissertation of the spin-vector formalism of polarization and the interaction of light with media. Applications discussed include optical isolators, optical circulators, fiber collimators, and a variety of applied waveplate and prism combinations. Also included in an extended discussion of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL), their representation, behavior, statistical properties, and measurement. This book draws extensively from the technical and patent literature and is an up-to-date reference for researchers and component designers in industry and academia.

Customer Reviews:

Comprehensive Treatment of Optical Communication.......2005-06-18

This is a superb study of electrodynamic theory as applied to polarization optics in todays (and tomorrow'a) telecommunication technology. As far as this review knows there is nothing like it available in the field. The book fills a very real need for those in the telecommunications field and for engineers and scientists who want to come up (or return) to speed in modern physical optics.

Polarization optics is being used routinely in communication systems, but there has been a need for workers and graduate students to have an entry (as well as an advanced) treatise on the subject. Damask's comprehensive stand-alone volume satisfies this need profoundly. In fact, due to its clear exposition of the frewquently complex material, the volume would make an outstanding text for a grad course in EE and physics. It is highly recommended.

Book Description

“Tender, hilarious, and packed with delightful surprises . . . If Einstein and John Cleese had written a novel together, this would be it.”
–Joseph Weisberg, author of 10th Grade

Four friends set out into the night in Cambridge, Massachusetts, undeterred by the fact that one of them might actually be dead. Deb has perfected the half-hour orgasm. Grant, a geek, desperately desires Deb. Depressed Arlene has just improbably slept with Johnny, their leader, who recently and accidentally shot himself to death.

But is he (or anyone) alive or dead until he’s observed to be by someone else? Maybe not, according to Dr. Erwin Schrödinger, the renowned physicist (1887—1961) who is, strangely, still ambling through the Ivy League town, offering opinions and proofs about how our perceptions can bring to life–and, in turn, reduce and destroy–other people and ourselves. And what does Schrödinger have to do with the President of Montana, who just declared war on the rest of the country, or the Harvard Square bag lady who is rewriting the history of the world? What’s the significance of the cat in the box, the “miracle molecule,” or the discarded piece of luncheon meat?

Answer: All will collide by the end of this hypersmart, supersexy, madly moving novel that crosses structural inventiveness with easygoing accessibility, the United States with our internal states of being, philosophy with fiction. In Adam Felber’s dazzling debut, science and humanity collide in a kaleidoscopic story that is as hilarious as death and as heartbreaking as love.

Praise:
“A jangle of provocative absurdities playing off a pair of lovers so winning that readers, like the audiences at the old Hollywood romantic comedies, will all but rent ladders to uncross the stars that guide and misguide their efforts…. [Schrodinger’s Ball is] a romantic fantasy in three-quarter time, as brainy as it is airy, and unhinged either way.”–The New York Times

“Felber has done the impossible: he’s made quantum theory seem hysterically funny and Cambridge, Massachusetts seem like a place of strange magic. Schrödinger’s Ball is a great read that will blind you with science and laughter.”–Chris Regan, writer for The Daily Show and co-author of America (The Book)

“[A] crackling comic novel…[Felber] frolics in the fields of science....His wit and linguistic acrobatics make this clever mind-bender worth the ride.–Booklist

“It’s smart, it’s funny, it’s got heart. All this and an umlaut too! Schrödinger’s Ball is thoroughly lively.”–Roy Blount Jr., author of Roy Blount’s Book of Southern Humor

“If Einstein and John Cleese had written a novel together, this would be it. Felber creates a world that is both completely real and totally enchanted. Tender, hilarious, and packed with delightful surprises, Schrödinger’s Ball is even more original than other really original books.”–Joseph Weisberg, author of Tenth Grade

“There’s no uncertainty about it. Schrödinger’s Ball once and for all proves the Adam Felber theory of comic novel writing: a book can be rollickingly funny, sharply satirical, romantic, and endearing–and involve quantum physics.”–Mo Rocca, author of All the Presidents’ Pets: The Story of One Reporter Who Refused to Roll Over

”Schrödinger’s Ball is as funny as hell, charming and kind, and perceptive and moving. Adam Felber has an amazing feel for the interior lives of his characters, even while using the shifting points-of-view of a David Foster Wallace.”–Peter Sagal, host of NPR’s Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!

“[A] raucous, willfully absurd debut…designed to expose the beautiful randomness of existence….Felber has embraced postmodern fiction's favorite themes…and turned it into a work of broad comedy instead of a fit of fatalistic handwringing.”–Kirkus Reviews

“Few novels attempting a deliberately bad explanation of the uncertainty principle could surpass this inspired romp….Felber's debut is illogically, warmly entertaining.”–Publishers Weekly

Customer Reviews:

Blecch!.......2006-11-26

I suspect many of the people visiting this page found their way to this book through "Wait, wait...." If that's the case, you have a reasonable chance of being a person who has a decent understanding of modern physics, and might be excited by the title of this book. And then you'd be in for a disappointment. The writing is so-so, the characterizations range from poor to bad, and the science is cute but derivative. Some of the ideas in this book could have been cool - the protagonist spends about a week being both alive and dead, for example - but then it just turns into "Friends" for the undead.
This reminded me *very* strongly of other early works from those who went on to greatness (Neal Stephenson's "Big U" comes to mind).... but it *also* reminded me of the works of those who went nowhere (Matt Ruff's "Sewer, Gas, and Electric"). Bottom line - try Felber again in 10 years. He might be great.

Wow! Outstanding Book!.......2006-10-27

This is quite possibly the best work of fiction that I have read in some time. An armchair physicist who enjoys reading books on relativity and entanglement theory, I found this book to be entertaining, creatively written, and very, very humorous! There were many times that I laughed out loud while reading this excellent page-turner.

A novel that actually consists of several, apparently random, stories of extremely interesting characters, "Schrodeinger's Ball" tells an original tale in the most creative of ways. Shifting, at a breath-taking pace, among the several plots, one cannot help but fly through this intricately designed web of (educational) fiction.

While entirely fictional (unless you know of an independent territory of Montana or a friend who is and is not both dead and alive), Felber does a spectacular job intertwining humorous allusions to quantum mechanics throughout the text. Even his choice of words screams of physics-based jokes. For instance, while speaking of an event late in the book, Felber writes, "This was due to all the uncertainty, principally." (232) While that sentence could have been structured any number of other ways it strikes a reader who is familiar with Heisenberg as funny because of the "Uncertainty Principle" inference. This book is laden with similar, subtle references and jokes.

Even if you are not a fan of physics, this book is entertaining and exciting that covers the gamut of human emotions and experience - all in under 250 pages. Pick this book up and read it.

Scattershot Fun.......2006-09-09

Felber's novel jumps all over the place and I admit, it took me some doing to get used to the manic pace of the changes. However, once I got comfortable with Felber's style and got into the multiple plot lines I couldn't put the book down.
The book is ultimately a very witty and touching story about existence, physics and coping with loss.

Now where can I get one of those Humdingers?

Wonderfully unhinged beginning to satisfingly focused ending........2006-09-07

This book is terribly (wonderfully) unhinged at the start. It hops around in a demented circle and widens. As it does, it starts to gain a focus point and narrows. Mr. Felber's wit break through often and his broad yet deep knowledge of things scientific hold this together. As things spiral inward there are numerous directions it can take, but Felber shows true heart, and leaves the reader edified, satisfied, drained, filled, excited, and yet mellowed. (Much like a really good, long bike ride).

I judge a work of art by how long I spend thinking about it. This has kept me going over it since I finished it last night, and I suspect it will occupy my thoughts for quite a while.

If your imagination is limited it may bore you. This is not "Jonathan Livingston Seagull," it is not a Thomas Kincaid "Painter of Light" rendition of a cottage at sunset; it requires knowledge and thought, which if you posses, will reward you richly.

Felberpalooza.......2006-09-07

Having been a fan of Adam Felber from his many stints on NPR's "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me!", I've appreciated his wit and wisdom for quite a while. When I learned he had written a book, well, it just couldn't have been published quickly enough to suit me. The wait was worth it! What a story and what a cast of zany, intriguing characters, some of whom know each other and some of whom are like ships passing in the night, brought together by chance occurance.

Mr. Felber is a great student of life, history and science and I tell you, Quantum Mechanics was never this fun in college. The supporting characters are delightfully eccentric and hopefully, fodder for future books. This is a book that should be read over and over, each time absorbing a deeper meaning to the humorous escapades. Go to a book signing and meet the author, if you can. A most generous, gracious and intelligent credit to the human race. Plus, he's a funny guy.

grad level comparative or african politics work.......2007-01-16

this book provides analysis of weak or failed states in Africa, based on thorough on the ground research and solid historical work. i bought it for my phd dissertation into democratization and violence, but its relevant for any comparative politics/historical work on Africa. precisely because its so well grounded in actual politics, it adds to some of the classic and recent theoretical studies on Africa, while remaining accessible to any one trying to understand what is happening.

Erudite and insightful.......1999-09-09

Drawing upon fieldwork in a number of troubled regions, Reno has produced a compelling and insightful examination of political realities within Africa's war-torn states. A valuable alternative to the more common hand-wringing and finger-pointing of most African political appraisals.

Clear, detailed, interesting, original........1998-08-05

In the midst of my research on timber Liberia, I was told that the only person who really knew what was going on in West Africa was William Reno, assistant professor at the University of Florida. When I called him to ask for information, he told me about the book that he published just this year. I tracked it down in the library, and was very relieved (after much fruitless searching) to find a readable and informative explanation of the politics of so called "weak states", along with four case studies on West African Nations. Reno's book provided by far the most comprehensive and readable explanation of the modus operendi of this region.

The first two chapters, entitled "The Distinctive Political Logic of Weak States" and "Africa's Weakest States After the Cold War", outline useful background information on the unique political systems in place in sub-saharan Africa. Reno does an excellent job of balancing his political theory with hist! orical examples. The next four chapters, which subsequantly cover Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and DRC (formerly Zaire), provide detailed analyses of the economic and political situations in these countries. Reno places the factions, the foreign business partners and the conflicting European vs. African interests in a solid context. On Liberia he writes, "The way we think about Liberia is strongly influenced by images of chaos and random violence.... In fact, war in Liberia has followed a clear logic. Warlord pursuit of commerce has been the critical variable in conflicts there. Stongmen have used commerce to consolidate their political power within a coalition of interest among themselves, businesspeople, and local fighters"(p.79).

Reno has combined information gleaned from his travels, dozens of interviews, and unique primary documents to provide a cohesive picture of the West African political system, a challenge of sorts to the conventional World Bank wisdom! that would have all "weak states" conform to its! idea of economic viability. He places in context the confusing behavior of rulers of weak states, with their tendency to avoid bureaucratic efficiency and free market enterprise, to the chagrin of first world observers. Reno writes, "Rulers who face threatening internal behavior intentionally cripple the arms of the state, which weakens the agencies that outsiders prescribe as the best means to mobilize resources to alleviate pressure form the international economy, such as debts, balance-of-payments imbalances, and instruments to enhance state revenues"(p.19). The behavior is necessary, he writes, in order to keep local strongmen in check. The conclusion that he draws from this may cause one to ponder; "The joining of political struggle and accumulation-- even as a violent Kalashnikov lifestyle of protection rackets, forced labor, and fencing of stolen goods-- is as much a candidate for a Weberian capitalist style of life as is a Protestant ethic or a Japane! se way of doing business"(p.30).

Rather than criticising from afar, Reno writes from the vantage of a frist hand observer. His ideas are provocative and well stated, valid for both the ignorant student (myself) and the seasoned researcher.

Book Description

This award-winning book offers an invaluable synthesis that is essential reading for anyone interested in the cattle-ranching traditions in North America. In this revisionist study, historical geographer Jordan reinterprets cattle ranching in the Old World and New, challenging the notion that western cattle culture derived principally from Texas. Jordan begins by looking at Old World stock-raising patterns of the British, Spanish, and North Africans and traces how these practices merged in the Caribbean and were brought into Mexico. He also shows how in the eighteenth and nineteenth century cattle-raising found its way to the Eastern Seaboard, the South and Midwest of the present United States, and into California.

Customer Reviews:

Webb--not!.......2001-08-04

The book is excellent; takes a complex look at how ranching developed in North America and replaces many myths with facts. A cultural geographer, Jordan is a consummate researcher and explores the way cattle (and people) moved into North America, and how it shaped settlement. If you are like me, and bristle when reading Walter Prescott Webb, because you just KNOW it's not really like that--this book explains what really happened, as cattle and people moved onto the Plains. He provides lots of valuable bibliographic sources, too.

Customer Reviews:

The love of discovery .......2006-04-23

This small book works on many levels. On the one hand it is the story of a young scientist, Leonard Mlodinow and his effort to understand his place and direction in Physics. In another it is the picture of one of the world's great Physics Departments, Cal Tech at the time Murry Gell-Mann, and Richard Feynmann were there and presenting their own very different ways of working in Physics. According to Mlodinow Gell- Mann was like an ancient Greek focusing on the underlying order of the physical world, while Feynmann like an ancient Babylonian focused on the phenomena themselves.
The major emphasis however in the work is on the lessons the apprentice young aspiring physicist learns from the great mentor and master Feymnann. And the heart of the work is a series of insertions, transcripts of tapes of what Feynmann actually told Mlodinow about the study of Physics.
Here one major message emerges one which corresponds with the Feynmann 'legend' . Feynmann teaches the importance of going one's own way , trusting oneself and one's intuitions, and living for the love of the process of scientific discovery.
Feynmann tells Mlodinow.

" I can say I am a scientist. I find excitement in discovery.
The excitement is not in the fact that you've created something, but that you've found something beautiful that's always been there. So scientific stuff affects every part of my life."

There is an especially moving part of the book when Feynmann speaks about his first wife , Arline who died very young from TB . He speaks to Mlodinow at a point where he himself is close to the end from cancer and says the following. "Now I've been to the hospital and I don't know how long I have to live. It happens to all of us sooner or later. Everybody dies. It's just a matter of when. But with Arlene I was really happy for a while, so I have had it all.After Arlene, the rest of my life didn't have to be so good, you see, because I had already had it all."

I have only indicated a small part of what this very rich small book contains.

I live in San Diego, and I pass Balboa Park every day on the way to and from work. I bought 2 copies: one for a fiend who visits us here and enjoys the park, and the other for us. The architecture is amazing, and this book contains some historical photos and a plethora of information about the park and its history. If you have ever visited Balboa Park and long to see it again, this would be the book I would suggest.
