GREAT TEACHING/LEARNING TOOL!.......2004-05-25

I have been using this text for the last 2 years. It is truly "hands-on". It presents continuing exercises for multiple companies. It simulates day to day work activities as they would happen. Using this format also prompts both experienced and new learners to ask questions they may not think of. Both guided and independent exercises are provided. In the school environment, tests are also included for grading.

Book Description

The book presents asymptotic expansions of Feynman integrals in various limits of momenta and masses, and their applications to problems of physical interest. The problem of expansion is systematically solved by formulating universal prescriptions that express terms of the expansion using the original Feynman integral with its integrand expanded into a Taylor series in appropriate momenta and masses. Knowledge of the structure of the asymptotic expansion at the diagrammatic level is key in understanding how to perform expansions at the operator level. Most typical examples of these expansions are presented: the operator product expansion, the large-mass expansion, Heavy Quark Effective Theory, and Non-Relativistic QCD.

Book Description

Leave the meaningful questions to the philosophers. Real life deals with the little things. The inane things. The petty things. And yes, well, the stupid things. Get ready to get real. And get stupid.

--If cats and dogs didn't have fur, would you still pet them?

--Do vegetarians eat animal crackers?

--Who do you know that is most likely to have been abducted by aliens?

And nearly 300 other pointless queries.

Worth much more than you imagine!.......2007-09-19

David Borgenicht's book is actually not as stupid as it seems. Sometimes, those "embarrassing, personal and basically pointless questions" can start some seriously entertaining conversations.

For example, one of my favorites is, "Do you think that the first time corn ever popped it scared the hell out of the Indians?"

And then, just think about the following question would tell you about your friends and family. "What would you say as your "last words" if you wre about to be executed?"

The Little Book of Stupid Questions is one of the great ones. Don't pass it by as a joke book.

Stupid people don't ask stupid questions. Smart people do........2003-06-14

Don't remember who once said something like this: "A smart person is not who knows smart answers, but one who knows how to ask smart questions." Asking questions is an art that can ultimately bring prosperity and fun to our lives. This little book ain't stupid to ask normal 'stupid' questions. Instead, it asked some seemly stupid, but thought provocative questions. I enjoy most part of it.

Question such as "If you had a third eye, where would you put it?". This is a question that can trigger an intensive discussions with so many possible answers. This is not only where you want `the eye' to grow out/in on your body, it is also about how you are going to use it. And, this eye is not necessarily part of your body. It can be in Bill Gates' or Michelle Pfeiffer's head. Can the eye be portable or have a wing of its own to be wherever and whenever I want it to be? This one question is a piece of work on its own!

The only reason I gave this book four star instead of five because many questions from the book are not universal. You have to grow up in certain part of the world at certain period to appreciate the questions. For example, a question like "Who is the better boyfriend, Kramer..." You have to see the TV show (I am not going to advertise for it) to know what the author is talking about. These questions are the real `stupid' ones I suppose.

This book has more values than faults. It can make a great gift for friends, family, or yourself. It can be a perfect `kill-time' toy, or a primer for a `Philosophical moment'. Either way, you will be smarter every time you read it. Remember, stupid people don't ask stupid questions. They just give you stupid answers without thinking. Only smart people ask stupid questions, such as "Why apples fell from the tree?" and "Why men have two legs instead of six."

A great way to get to know someone!.......2003-02-14

My fiance (now husband) and I found this book to be a great way to get to know eachother. We found the questions to be somewhat silly, but thought-provoking. I'd really recommend this book to anyone who wanted to learn more about their partner, or to just start conversations in general. It is a lot of fun to go through.

Review of The Little Book of Stupid Questions.......2000-04-02

I thought this book was very good. Some of the questions were very funny, but I thought that a few didn't make sense. Overall the book was very interesting and funny.

Book Description

In January 1944, the Allies decided to land at Anzio in order to overcome the stalemate at Cassino.This amphibious landing has become one of the most controversial campaigns of World War II. Questionable decisions by the Allied leadership led to three months of World War I-style trench warfare, and the entire beachhead suffered from continuous German observation and bombardment. Vividly describing each thrust and counter-thrust, this book takes us through the agonizing struggle as each side sought to retain or regain mastery. It shows how Anzio proved to be a stepping stone not only to Rome but also to the liberation of Italy.

Customer Reviews:

Good, but a bit Top-Heavy in Approach.......2005-09-27

Stephen Zaloga's Anzio 1944, #155 in Osprey's Campaign series, provides a solid, if conventional account of one of the more controversial Allied operations in the Second World War. Zaloga states in the introduction "the Anzio Operation presents a classic study of ambitious political objectives doomed by limited military resources." British Prime Minister Churchill and US 5th Army Commander General Clark were not satisfied to merely outflank the German defenses on the Gustav Line with the intended amphibious operation - they wanted Rome. Although Zaloga's narrative summary is solid, his over-emphasis on the role of senior decision-makers ignores the misery down at the trench level in this very bitter campaign and does not provide readers with any feel for the tactical-level combat.

In the section on opposing commanders, Zaloga's top-heavy approach is most evident and it reduces the value of this component. On the German side, Zaloga only covers the theater commander (Kesselring) and the two army commanders (von Mackensen and Vietinghoff), with little real mention of the commanders of the 1st Fallschirmjager Corps or 76th Panzer Corps (von Choltitz). On the Allied side, Zaloga only covers the theater commander (Alexander), army commander (Clark) and corps commander (Lucas), with only slight asides to Truscott or the British tactical-level commanders. The Opposing Armies section is also rather abbreviated and provides none of the incisive analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each side that Zaloga normally delivers. Although Zaloga provides many photographs of the Allied 1st Special Service Force, he fails to discuss its strength or special capabilities or even mention that it was a joint US-Canadian unit. Overall, the British contribution at Anzio gets rather short shrift in this volume. However, the Opposing Plans section is longer than usual and effectively puts the initial Allied landings into their proper operational context, with apt mention of German intelligence failures and Allied misgivings about the operation.

As usual for the Osprey Campaign series, the maps and artwork are quite good. The five 2-D maps are: strategic situation in Italy, January 1944; Anzio beachhead, 1 February 1944; Operation Seitensprung, 28 February - 3 March 1944; Operation Buffalo, 23-24 May 1944; the Race for Rome, 31 May - 1 June 1944. The three 3-D maps are: Operation Shingle, 22 January 1944; Battle for the Thumb, 3-11 February 1944; Operation `Fischfang' 16-20 February 1944. The three battle scenes are: He-177 bombers launching Hs-293 missiles at the Allied fleet; the US 45th Infantry Division fighting for `the factory,' 11 February 1944; and German Panther tanks and B-IV demolition vehicles moving up to the front. Zaloga's order of battle data is decent, particularly for the German counterattacks, but is a bit weak on the Allied side (particularly in mentioning units that arrived later in the beachhead).

Zaloga's campaign narrative is particularly adept at assessing Allied actions and German reactions. Unlike some other historians, Zaloga does not criticize Lucas for failing to seize the Alban Hills or Rome - which would have exposed his small forces to defeat in detail - but does fault him for not securing better defensive positions, such as Cisterna. Zaloga also states that the Allies seriously underestimated the German ability to reinforce the bridgehead area and that Kesselring did not flinch in the face of a surprise amphibious landing and divert troops from the main line of resistance at Cassino. Furthermore, German air and missile attacks negated much of the usual Allied naval gunfire support and poor weather reduced air support. Muddy, water-logged terrain negated armor on both sides and reduced the battle to a series of slugging matches in the mud, dominated by artillery. In essence, Anzio degenerated into a First World War-style battle and was just as inconclusive. Although the Germans tried three times to smash the Allied beachhead - and came close - the ample supply of artillery ammunition and the ability to mass corps artillery saved the Allies from disaster. Anzio is a difficult campaign to study, but Zaloga's narrative provides a comprehensible summary.

My only real concern with Anzio 1944 - and this is made in full recognition of the constraints of the Osprey series - is that this volume does not make any effort to depict the tactical level, which reduces the value of this account. Given that most of the fighting at Anzio involved a few German divisions against a few Allied divisions, I find it a glaring omission that the actual front-line soldiers are omitted; why is there not a single first-person account from somebody who actually fought at Cisterna or the `Factory?' Zaloga might have noted that Audie Murphy was in the 1-15th Infantry near Cisterna and his book would have been a good source of one or two accounts of small-unit action at Anzio While the discussions about Churchill and Clark and Kesselring are fine for strategic context, this volume fails to convey the sheer misery of this campaign for the infantry that fought in it.

Book Description

The First Imperial Age explores the origins of Europe's rise to world hegemony in the early modern period. After a slow start in the 1400s, the pace of European exploration and discovery quickened dramatically. By the end of the period, Europeans, in pursuit of Asia and the opportunities encountered en route, had determined the outlines of Africa, discovered and partly subjugated the Americans, opened a sea route to the Far East and established themselves in the great maritime economy of Asia. Scammell's detached and skeptical view highlights the ambiguities inherent in these triumphs.

Book Description

In the mid-1800s, a group of High Anglicans formed the Universities' Mission to Central Africa (UMCA). Inspired by Dr. David Livingstone, they felt a special calling to bring the Church, education, and medical care to rural Africans. To deliver services across a huge, remote area, the UMCA relied on steamer ships that were sent from England and then reassembled on Lake Malawi. By the mid-1920s, the UMCA had built a chain of mission stations that spread across four hundred miles.

In The Steamer Parish, Charles M. Good Jr. traces the Mission's history and its lasting impact on public health care in south-central Africa-and shows how steam and medicine, together with theology, allowed the Mission to impose its will, indelibly, on hundreds of thousands of people. What's more, many of the issues he discusses-rural development, the ecological history of disease, and competition between western and traditional medicine-are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago.
