Book Description

This book examines the current state of South African agriculture and makes attempts at reform in context by looking at the past. It begins by explaining the historical process, which led to a dualistic agricultural sector, and the current policy process that attempts to resolve the inequalities and distortions. The policy discussion draws on the main part of the book, which is an empirical investigation of the measurement and explanation of efficiency and productivity change, which depend on technologies developed by R & D.

Book Description

Now in its third edition, this classic text covers many aspects of infrared and Raman spectroscopy that are critical to the chemist doing structural or compositional analysis. This work includes practical and theoretical approaches to spectral interpretation as well as a discussion of experimental techniques. Emphasis is given to group frequencies, which are studied in detailed discussions, extensive tables, and over 600 carefully chosen and interpreted spectral examples. Also featured is a unique treatment of group frequencies that stresses their mechanical origin. This qualitative approach to vibrational analysis helps to simplify spectral interpretation.
Additional topics include basic instrumental components and sampling techniques, quantitative analysis, Raman polarization data, infrared gas contours, and polarized IR studies, among others.

Key Features
* Focuses on group frequency correlations and how to use them in spectral interpretation
* Revised and updated by a pioneer in the field, Norman Colthup, who for thirty years has served as an expert lecturer for the Fisk Infrared Institute
* Explores new group frequency studies in aromatics, alkanes and olefins, among others
* Includes completely updated section on instrumentation

Book Description

The book covers the most recent ideas about the nature and dynamics of comets, including a thorough discussion on Oort cloud dynamics which has not received due attention in other books on the subject. It also discusses the most relevant aspects of the physics and chemistry of comet nuclei, highlighting their importance as relics of the protoplanetary disk and, perhaps, as carriers of water and organics that permitted the development of life on Earth. The book contains several tables with useful data, and an ample bibliography covering the most recent work as well as some historical key contributions to the subject. It may be suitable as a textbook for graduate students with some basic knowledge of celestial mechanics and astrophysics, as well as a consult book for comet researchers, or researchers from other related fields willing to start working on comets, or get an updated view of the subject.

Relevance of Physics.......2000-04-14

Broad in scope and meticulous in research, this is one of the best of its kind. There are other books about physics and ethics, physics and biology, physics and religion, and the history of physics but this is special in having all these topics (and more) as part of a single global narrative.

It is well-written, especially given the difficulty of the subject matter. I originally started reading it to research a paper and ended up sucked in by the narrative.

If you do not have a college background in physical science, history, classics, or philosophy, you may find this a bit overwhelming. You can however read it in sections (just the section on physics and biology for example) which is nice since reading the entire book is something of a project.

It is particularly good if you are a student of philosophy and are interested in how the disciplines of physics and metaphysics get along together (or don't). It's a pleasure to read a book by a physicist that does not neglect philosphical and historical context. Too often one reads books by scientists that are really philosophy without the benefit of a philosphical background.

I hope the publisher makes it available again soon; otherwise I recommend you try your nearest major public or university library.

Schrodinger's interpretation of quantum mechanics and the relevance of Bohr's experimental critique [An article from: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics]

Description:
E. Schrodinger's ideas on interpreting quantum mechanics have been recently re-examined by historians and revived by philosophers of quantum mechanics. Such recent re-evaluations have focused on Schrodinger's retention of space-time continuity and his relinquishment of the corpuscularian understanding of microphysical systems. Several of these historical re-examinations claim that Schrodinger refrained from pursuing his 1926 wave-mechanical interpretation of quantum mechanics under pressure from the Copenhagen and Gottingen physicists, who misinterpreted his ideas in their dogmatic pursuit of the complementarity doctrine and the principle of uncertainty. My analysis points to very different reasons for Schrodinger's decision and, accordingly, to a rather different understanding of the dialogue between Schrodinger and N. Bohr, who refuted Schrodinger's arguments. Bohr's critique of Schrodinger's arguments predominantly focused on the results of experiments on the scattering of electrons performed by Bothe and Geiger, and by Compton and Simon. Although he shared Schrodinger's rejection of full-blown classical entities, Bohr argued that these results demonstrated the corpuscular nature of atomic interactions. I argue that it was Schrodinger's agreement with Bohr's critique, not the dogmatic pressure, which led him to give up pursuing his interpretation for 7yr. Bohr's critique reflected his deep understanding of Schrodinger's ideas and motivated, at least in part, his own pursuit of his complementarity principle. However, in 1935 Schrodinger revived and reformulated the wave-mechanical interpretation. The revival reflected N. F. Mott's novel wave-mechanical treatment of particle-like properties. R. Shankland's experiment, which demonstrated an apparent conflict with the results of Bothe-Geiger and Compton-Simon, may have been additional motivation for the revival. Subsequent measurements have proven the original experimental results accurate, and I argue that Schrodinger may have perceived even the reformulated wave-mechanical approach as too tenuous in light of Bohr's critique.

Heart Warming.......2004-07-19

This was a heart-warming and funny story of family and aging. I especially like the way the Italian heritage is discussed throughout the book. My favorite chapter(s) are "Nightmares for Nincompoops" and "Showtime at Dumpsters" and "Night School for Immigrants." If you want a good belly-laugh, read this book!

Book Description

Based on the latest research, including archaeological work on the recently rediscovered wreck, this book provides a complete anatomy in words, pictures, and drawings of one of the most famous ships of all time, the Confederate commerce raider Alabama of 1862. The sloop-of-war was known worldwide for her phenomenally destructive campaign against Union shipping that extended from coastal Texas to Cape Town, South Africa. Winning prizes estimated at $6 million, the ship was eventually tracked down and sunk off the coast of Cherbourg by the USS Kearsarge. Despite enduring interest in the ship, many details of her structure and fitting are still a matter of debate. The ship's clandestine construction and delayed arming produced often contradictory evidence. For this book, the author sifted through every known contemporary photograph, painting, model, and plan to produce the most detailed set of drawings of the Alabama ever published. With more than 250 illustrations, plans, and line drawings, the work will delight naval historians, Civil War enthusiasts, and model-makers alike.

Book Description

This interdisciplinary study of legal and literary narratives argues that the novel's particular power to represent the interior life of its characters both challenges the law's definitions of criminal responsibility and reaffirms them. By means of connecting major novelists with prominent jurists and legal historians of the era, it offers profound new ways of thinking about the Victorian period.

Book Description

This laboratory guidebook provides step-by-step procedures that will aid in the dissection and collection of major organs and tissues of the most common species of small animals used in biomedical research. Through extensive use of photographs and illustrations, the dissector is guided through a complete necropsy of each species for the purpose of collecting the organs and tissues routinely examined by pathologists. The techniques described will enable the technician to perform necropsies on almost any mammal in a precise and logical sequence, and to properly collect tissue in order to avoid diagnostic errors. Morphological differences among the various species are discussed.
