Book Description

This book presents numerical differential quadrature (DQ) - based methods recently developed by the author. Their ability for solving generic scientific and engineering problems is demonstrated. These methods are the generic differential quadrature, the extended differential quadrature and the related discrete element analysis methods. These novel numerical techniques are both efficient and reliable. They are suitable for developing solution algorithms for various computational mechanics problems with arbitrarily complex geometry. This is shown for several comprehensive examples such as bars and beams, trusses, frames, general field problems, elasticity problems or bending of plates.

Book Description

U.S. Army intelligence relies on the tactics of intelligence interrogation to assess and combat enemy forces, but recent events at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq revealed violations of the rules of intelligence interrogation and human rights, officially codified in the U.S. Army Intelligence and Interrogation Handbook. Herein are the precise and regulated procedures and principles of interrogation, which must be followed to conduct meaningful interrogations and prevent violations that led to the questionable tactics of prison soldiers at Abu Ghraib.
The U.S. Army Intelligence and Interrogation Handbook features the established procedures of the U.S. Army to conduct intelligence interrogations,
under the constraints established by the Hague and Geneva Conventions, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. This invaluable resource lays out clear guidelines for the interrogation process, the role of the interrogator, handling captured enemy documents, and the direction and supervision of intelligence interrogation. It also includes information about the relationship between interrogation and its operational environment, debriefing strategy, and the construction and use of joint interrogation facilities. Principles and tactics include:
* Principles of interrogation * Capabilities and limitations of interrogators * Interrogator training * Intelligence cycle * Screening sources * Counterintelligence * Command, tasking, support, and interrogator relationships * Components of strategic intelligence * And many more important devices used and tested in actual military operations.

this book is a standard military text book. dry data. would be useful in a classroom setting but is vitual useless for personal reading. not reccomended.

The Rules, The Real Rules.......2005-05-27

One time in the Army I was being sent from here to there. I was put on a bus at some ridiculous hour like 3 or 4 in the morning. After a few hours on the bus we were let off in front of huge building with the words, "Go find the sign that says where you are going and wait under the sign."

There was no sign for where I was going. With great trepidation I went to find a sargeant and asked, "Where's my sign."

"You're not supposed to be here for another twelve hours, what are you doing here so early?"

What I wanted to say was that I was calmly asleep when some sargeant started yelling at me to get up, get dressed and get on this stupid bus that took me to here.

But I didn't think that that was wise, I don't remember just what I said. Anyway I was told to come back in twelve hours. I left there quickly.

In World War II German prisoners were taken to a large room and told to go stand under the sign of the unit to which they were assigned. If they couldn't find a sign they eventually went to a sargeant and asked. The sargeant would make a new sign for his unit. And the Army would then know that a new unit had been moved onto the battlefield. Something important for the Army to know, and something the soldiers had been told not to tell -- name, rank and serial number remember.

Here are the rules, and no, they do not include flushing the Qur'an down the toilet.

This book is a strange beast: a meditation on the meaning of the 1939 New York World's Fair seen through the lens of David Gelernter's angry political opinion that society today has gone to moral rot and ruin--mostly because of the ideas of New York-style liberals, who have led us astray. Richly detailed observations of the 1939 World's Fair and its social milieu are interspersed with a rather sparse fictional account of an old-fashioned romance that got its fuse lit on the fairgrounds. If you want a straightforward 1939 World's Fair novel, the classic is still World's Fair, by E. L. Doctorow. But Gelernter writes likes nobody else. His historical research is painstaking, and his pro-1939, anti-modern political jeremiad gives the book an eccentric but propulsive narrative drive. Gelernter has a qualified love of two-fisted old-time social engineers, such as Robert Moses, and he yearns for a time when society was ruled by authority figures instead of celebrities. Ah, the good old days, when the 1939 World's Fair introduced America to TV, the fax machine, nylons, fluorescent lighting, long-distance phone calls, and an underwater Salvador Dali exhibit starring live, half-nude women. Gelernter wrote this book while recovering from a murder attempt by the Unabomber (recounted in Gelernter's Drawing Life), but his true claim to fame is the cranky individualism of his mind.

You are there at the Fair.......2005-09-10

I've always been intrigued by the iconic images of the Trylon and Perisphere, from when I first saw them on a U.S Postage stamp many years ago. This book offers a way to travel back in time to live through the fair, led by the author through the eyes of fictional characters experiencing the (factual) fair. What is amazing is how the author skillfully weaves together everything to create such a compelling story. I had also bought the (100%) factual books "New York's 1939-1940 World's Fair (Postcard history series) and Dover publications' "The New York World's Fair. Both of these book offer lots of nice snapshots, but do not make the Fair come to life as does
David Gelernter"s "1939: The Lost World of the Fair." Highly recommended!

The Best Book about the Fair.......2004-10-06

This is one of my all-time favorite books. Gelernter tells us that he intends to take us on a "virtual reality" tour of the 1939 fair. Unlike Miles Beller's more recent effort, he chooses a bright, energetic and ambitious woman as his protagonist and lets us all gradually fall in love with her. It's almost hard to see the gradual transition from our relationship with her as just eyes and ears into something much more subtle and complex.

I cannot say much more without ruining the experience. Buy the book and share the experience of a very special moment in time.

Quirky but passionate and evocative.......2002-06-06

Recently I became interested in the year 1939 as a "hinge" year; so many things happened that year and it was a dividing point between the awful world of the 30s and the second World War. So I considered writing an article detailing that year, including the movies released (Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz), the events leading up the the outbreak of the war, and, of course the Fair, with the wonderful and iconic Trylon and Perisphere. Others may have covered the movies and the war, but Gelernter has covered the fair in many (not all) of the ways I wanted to hear about it. He has several theses which he presents well, whether or not you agree with him:

1. The world (or the U.S.A.) was more optimistic than we are.
2. The utopia presented in the exhibits of the fair has come about in many ways.
3. There was a sense of authority in institutions, and a measure of trust and security given to them, much of which has been lost today.
4. We are not significantly more sophisticated than the citizens of that time.
5. Men wore ties and didn't mind.

Some of his theses are more superficial than others ....

I really enjoyed this book. The author communicates a love of the fair as being not only an event in itself, but emblematic of the culture and times within which it took place. He does that in two ways: by branching off for extended meditations on the cultural differences between then and now, and by interjecting a kind of a love story as narrated by a fair-goer as she remembers going with her then-boyfriend. Quite a bit of plot regarding this love story is worked into the book, which makes the book an odd mix, as if it had taken place during the sinking of Titanic or during the Civil War.
Hmmmm....
Anyway, although this wouldn't be the stopping place for books about the fair (I was desperate for more pictures, at least), it's a wonderful starting point to find out about the year. Best of all, he treats the people and attitudes of the time seriously and doesn't let present-day cynicism interfere with his appraisal. I'm not sure I agree with all of his conclusions but I like what he says about the "American religion", manners, and cultural knowledge in general, and the chapter on "Dynamite, Manhatten, 1939" is worth reading on its own; in fact, it's almost a precis of what he is trying to say.

A Byzantine Style Novel.......2002-03-11

As much as I hate to disagree with the other reviewers, I found this book to be a disjointed labyrinth of 1939 NYWF information;
a love story; and the author's own views and philosophy of the
world of the late 1930's, especially pertaining to the New York
City of that era.

The parts about the fair are rather good, but tantalizing in that they are not sufficiently detailed to evoke any real concept of what a particular exhibit was really about. The protagonists of the story seemingly wander about the fair grounds in a haphazard manner, even though the man has a guide book. Interspersed with these meanderings are observations on
manners, morals, politics and a veritable potpourri of what the
author feels is relevant to the era, not to mention the ongoing
love story between the man and woman and their main subject of
discourse--whether or not to have children if they get married.

Let the reader beware--if you're looking for a tour and pictures
of the Fair, this is NOT the book you want. There are much better ones out there. If you like a hodgepodge of Fair and pre-WWII trivia, amalgamated with an author's subjective opinions and a bland love story, you might enjoy this book.

Just like being there!.......2001-07-16

I'm one of those people who has never been to New York City, though I would love to see it. This book wonderfully transports you to that city in the years of 1939-1940 and to that World's Fair. It was a time that people thought of science and technology as something that had the power to transform their lives in a positive manner, unlike the misplaced cynicism encountered today, even though we have now realized many of the dreams of that long ago fair, and many more.

David Gelernter takes you on a tour of that fair, including the various national and corporate exibits and pavilions, many were absolutely amazing, even by today's standards. Several are described in intricate detail, and being in the 1930's electro-mechanical control systems were the rule, some being very complex. Gelernter also portrays some typical hypothetical people visiting the fair and what they did. How people dressed back then, and also the underlying societal feelings, are covered, the war in Europe being on everyones mind.

This is a very well written and comprehensive account of this most famous of fairs, I immensely enjoyed it, and Gelernter covers that last few hours of the Fair with poignancy as it closed in 1940. This account makes me wish I could travel back in time and see it myself, a wistful longing not to be.

Book Description

The authors of this book argue that teacher effectiveness is too narrowly conceptualized and methods of measuring it are not attuned to the real contexts in which teachers work. They propose a model of differential teacher effectiveness which takes into account that
* teachers may be more effective with some categories of students than with others
* teachers may be more effective with some teaching contexts than others, and
* teachers may be more effective with some subjects or components than with others.
