Conceptual Cemistry text review.......2005-05-01

Well, it looks like I'm giving yet another one of my college textbooks a less than stellar review. This particular book was the required text for Chemistry 1010 at my college. Extremely expensive is how I feel about this book, since unlike my intro Psych book, which cost just as much, I find this one to be both confusing and patronizing. I had a slave driver for a Honors Chem teacher in high school, so I expected Chemistry to be easy, since I later found out that in high school I had taken the equivalent of a Chemistry class required of college level Chemistry majors. My professor was fairly good. He made it a point of explaining all the math and all the other mumbo-jumbo in this text. He had to do that a lot. Why, you ask? Because, this book, I swear, was written for a sixth grader. It comes across as such, especially in the first few chapters, where they talk about atoms and molarity, elements and compounds. It isn't until the later chapters, when you get to learn about things I still cannot even spell, that the author finally becomes serious. But still, the weird jokes about the neutron who went to the bar, the pictures of the author's wife and family members strewn about, and the corny cartoon characters trying to make Chemistry equations "fun" are just that-sappy and VERY corny. I had to repeatedly look at the cover of the book to make sure I was not reading a child's Chemistry text. And, come the day of the final, most of my classmates are more than willing to get rid of this text, which for most of us has served us well as a paperweight. I didn't even get to use it for that-my roommate is a Chemistry major and had an even bigger Chemistry book to use for that purpose. I spent $102 on this thing that masquerades as a college level Chemistry text, but in reality reads like it was meant for an uneducated 12 year old. The vast majority of us in this class did not use this book. We had a fairly decent professor whose lectures proved far more useful than this text, althought his tests were quite confusing. This book has no real purpose. Save your money and look for the copy on reserve at the library. It is better than being reminded that in the scope of the author, that you are not worthy of being treated like a college level adult because you did not take the intro Chemistry class aimed at Chem majors. This book is horrible, and the worst part is that I only got $45 back for it at textbook buyback this last week. Ugh.

Description:
A detailed paleomagnetic and rock magnetic investigation of Nihewan fluvio-lacustrine deposits at Tai'ergou (40^o12'52''N, 114^o38'22''E), Hebei Province of North China, has been carried out. The results show that the magnetic mineralogy is dominated by magnetite and high-coercivity hematite. Maghemite occurs mainly in the grayish-yellow/yellowish-brown silt layers and fine-grained yellow sand beds, either as a detrital component or as the result of low-temperature oxidation of magnetite. Distinct variations in magnetic susceptibility are always associated with changes in lithology, i.e., color and grain size of the sediments, reflecting the frequent lowering/ascendance of the water table level and change of sedimentation environment. Based on paleomagnetic results of thermal and AF demagnetization experiments, we present an unambiguous polarity stratigraphy for the exposed lacustrine-fluvial sediments at Tai'ergou consisting of three normal magnetozones including the Brunhes chron, the Jaramillo and Olduvai subchrons, and two reversed zones belonging to the Matuyama chron. This suggests that the Nihewan Basin carries a long, continuous stratigraphic record, albeit varying in sedimentation facies and sedimentation rates. Consequently, we concluded that the Nihewan lacustrine sediments at Tai'ergou commenced depositing at the onset of the Olduvai subchron, and the Tai'ergou Section can be used as a dating tool for biochronological and high-resolution magnetostratigraphic purposes.

Bob out of touch with reality.......2006-02-22

As an amateur historian with an interest centered on WWII and particularly the Luftwaffe, I found it an interesting take. However Herr Bob goes off the deep in with his conspiracy theory. By this time he should have seen the light regarding the despotic regime he so proudly served. Reads like a frustrated loser to me, but devotees of the Luftwaffe like myself will find it a worthwhile read.

Book Description

"Under the Tarnished Dome" is the bestselling book that rocked the Notre Dame football program. Don Yaeger and Douglas S. Looney investigate the contrast between the Notre Dame image--that of a place where wins on the field are no more important than the integrity off it--and the Notre Dame football program's reality, with trash talking, rampant steroid use, pregame fights, and academic misconduct. Part history and part investigative journalism--the authors interviewed 150 people for this book, including nearly 100 former Notre Dame football players--this is a stunning indictment of the school's administration and especially of present-day Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz.

Interesting look at NCAA Football & Scandal.......2007-01-04

I felt the authors did a decent job exposing the realities of College Football and the scandalous things athletic programs will do for victory. Those scandalous things include looking the other way on steroids and player misbehavior, downgrading injuries, and academic malfeasance. The authors picked on Notre Dame and then-Coach Lou Holtz, but could have written this book about USC, Colorado, Michigan, Florida State, or other big-time progams. Despite the scandalous activities alleged in these pages, Notre Dame probably has one of the cleaner reputations among football schools. We fans might not like these types of books, but we should at least question the relationship between NCAA sports and higher education. After all, college football scandals have occurred with great regularity all the way back to the late 1800's.

Several reviewers attacked this book as unfair. Perhaps they were correct, or perhaps they wrote more as fans than as objective readers. Whatever the case, readers should also see THE HUNDRED YARD LIE, a superbly-paced expose by former Northwestern player Rick Telander.

Great Read.......2006-12-21

This book is a MUST read for every college football fan. The authors get deep inside the nd football program and shines a light on the dark underbelly that is nd. The lily white image of nd is truly tarnished, it just took two great writers to expose the myth that nd has on the sports world. It is always the ones who scream that they are perfect that are the most corrupt.

Perfect book, excellent read.

Notre Dame NCAA violation in 2000.......2006-09-19

Before dismissing this book as a lie, remember that Notre Dame football program was sanctioned by NCAA for major violations in December 1999, and the violations occurred from 1993 to 1998, under Lou Holtz. Notre Dame got away with loss of one scholarship a year for two yesrs (because it is Notre Dame). While the authors may have a personal agenda against Lou Holtz, Lou Holtz does not run a clean ship to begin with. 3 stars, worth a read especially if you are a usc or michigan fan :-)

Makes Pravda Look Objective.......2006-07-09

Well documented here is the story of how this book came about, that once denied the access they craved to the football program, the authors performed a hatchet job from the outside.

What would have made the book credible is any account from a successful ND football star who could substantiate anything in this book, ie - a smoking gun. But what you get instead are extended interviews with washouts and proven drug users who the school pushed down the depth chart, off the team, or out of school. The book falls because it's primary sources are all players who would have THRIVED in an atmosphere of rampant drug use and academic violations the book claims to unveil. As demonstrated from other sources, here is the list of the top sources of the book, and their fortunes with the team:

1. Dan Quinn (suspended from the university, took steroids, accused of sexual assault, sued Notre Dame);
2. Marty Lippincott (suspended from the team, placed on academic probation three times);
3. Jim Baugus (suspended for steroid use);
4. George Marshall (suspended for drug use);
5. Linc Coleman (played only one year, dropped out of Notre Dame after academic problems);
6. Tony Smith (claimed Notre Dame caused him to lose $1 million in the NFL draft by playing injured);
7. John Foley (placed on academic probation);
8. John Askin (claims Tarnished Dome is ?an outright fraud?);
9. Mike Crounse;
10. Jeff Pearson (suspended from the university, tested positive for steroids, sold steroids);
11. George Williams (suspended from the team);
12. Kurt Zackrison;
13. Mike Golic (played at Notre Dame before Holtz became coach).

Hardly a smoking gun, in fact quite the opposite. When such a rogue's gallery of shady people stand as your character witnesses, it almost proves the opposite of what you have in the book. Where are the interviews with the players the university holds up as the model? Why do so many say the authors deceived them in their approach for an interview, or claim they were taken out of context? This book stands alone, with no one of any merit to vouch for it.

If there is a bargain bin for bargain bins, this should be in it. Hopefully it will sell for less than the price of kindling, as that is the proper use of this deceitful, transparently biased "expose."

10% truth, 90% lies.......2005-09-13

The authors had an ax to grind with Lou Holtz. They had asked for full access to the ND team in order to do a Season on the Brink type of book on ND. Their request was denied. From that point on, they went into smear mode, taking comments from a small number of unhappy players and embellishing them with exaggerations and lies. A number of players stated that they were taken out of context or misquoted after the publication of the book. ND is the college with the most fans and haters both. This book was written for the latter group. Poorly written and researched, I might add. For the record, I am a University of Texas alum.

Book Description

Joan of Arc arrived at the French court claiming to be sent by God to come to the aid of the dauphin Charles. Most studies of Joan focus on her political expediency, but the starting point of this book is her assertion that she was sent by God: it is the first real exploration of the application of the Catholic doctrine of discretio spirituum(the discernment of spirits) to her case, and of her reception as a visionary woman. The author examines contemporary theological documents which show genuine debate about Joan's mission and whether she was diabolically or divinely inspired, also taking into account the two major literary works dealing with her, Christine de Pizan's Ditie de Jehanne d'Arc and Martin Le Franc's Le champion des dames, as well as Joan's own letter to the English. Appendices offer translations of pertinent Latin and French texts.Professor DEBORAH FRAIOLI teaches in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Simmons College, Boston.

Customer Reviews:

A great source for Joan enthusiasts.......2000-04-12

Dr. Fraioli presents an in depth analysis of the early debate surrounding Joan. Drawing on many contemporary sources, such as the writings of Christine De Pizan and those letters atributed to Joan, the author backs up her arguments. There are also appendices which include sources in French for those scholars who prefer to check their own translations against the authors. It's a great book for historians, theologians, and others. It is slightly advanced, but should not pose a problem for college students and above. Overall, a great read and a great aid for Joan-related research.

Book Description

This major new book examines the ways in which the idea of an earthly paradise inspired English life and thought in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Professor Schulz begins with the eighteenth-century passion for landscape gardens - attempts physically to recreate Eden on earth. He traces the â€~internalisingâ€™ of Eden by the Romantic poets and by painters such as Constable and Palmer, and then turns to the Victorian identification of paradise not with a garden but with the city - a technological Eden, achieved by massive feats of engineering that would control the environment. Chapters on Turner, Tennyson, and the Pre-Raphaelites show the increasing disillusion with this urban and mechanised ideal as the century declined towards the purely imaginative paradises of Beardsleyâ€™s drawings and Whistlerâ€™s Peacock Room - Eden recreated in the dining room of a Liverpool shipping millionaire. Wide ranging in scope and generously illustrated, Paradise Preserved is a remarkable work of literary, artistic and cultural history.
