Book Description

This classic text, aimed at senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students in physics and astronomy, presents a wide range of astrophysical concepts in sufficient depth to give the reader a quantitative understanding of the subject. Emphasizing physical concepts, the book outlines cosmic events but does not portray them in detail: It provides a series of astrophysical sketches. For this third edition, nearly every part of the text has been reconsidered and rewritten; new sections have been added to cover recent developments, and most of the rest has been revised and brought up to date.

The book begins with an outline of the scope of modern astrophysics and the elementary problems concerning the scale of cosmic objects and events. The basic physics needed to answer these questions is developed in the next chapters, using specific astronomical processes as examples. The second half of the book enlarges on the topics introduced at the beginning and shows how we can obtain quantitative insights into the structure and evolution of stars, the dynamics of cosmic gases, the large-scale behavior of the universe, and the origins of life.

The emphasis is on astrophysics, so astronomical objects (white dwarfs, supernovae, comets, quasars) are mentioned throughout the text whenever the relevant physics is discussed rather than in individual sections. To compensate, there is an appendix that gives a brief background of astronomical concepts for students unfamiliar with astronomical terminology, as well as a comprehensive index. The extensive bibliography refers to other sources that treat individual topics in detail.

too vague.......2001-10-13

too vague, its not bad...its alright

Comprehensive and interesting.......2000-01-26

I'm currently teaching a topics class on astrophysics to a collection of (mostly) senior level non-physics majors (engineers, math majors, computer scientists, etc) and had a lot of trouble trying to find an appropriate book. There are not many which are both (a) detailed, (b) broad, and (c) at the appropriate level. Most books for undergraduates are either too focused (i.e. on cosmology) or too elementary. Most of the comprehensive books are too advanced.

This book strikes a nice balance between mathematical sophistication and generality, but it can be a little difficult to read in places, particularly for someone without a strong physics background. Since my class consists mostly of interested, advanced, non-physics majors I didn't feel that the book meshed well with my class goals. However, the book did suit *me* very well and I'm using it extensively as a source of examples, additional problems and lecture preparation.

I selected "Modern Astrophysics" by Carroll and Ostlie as the class text because it was a little more wordy and explanitory and because the "astrophysical sketch" approach taken in Harwitt's book is fine for someone who has a strong background in physics (which is, after all, the intended audience) but not "user friendly" enough for advanced students from other fields.

It was a tough choice though - this is an excellent book.

The First Book in a New Science.......2006-06-27

This book is intended for use in beginning graduate level coursework, and of course to the working researcher with a need for more knowledge in this field. It presumes a basic level of knowledge in the biological sciences at the bachelor of science level. Some knowledge of ecology, evolutionary biology, microbiology, plant physiology, animal physiology, genetics, and molecular biology will be needed. The concentration in this book is to ecology and evolutionary biology with emphasis placed on aspects that should be particularly new to the student. The book is based on research published primarily in the last five years.

The book focuses on three fundamental ecological questions:

1. What is the relationship between community structure and ecological function in ecosystems?

2. How can the variation in life-history patterns among species be explained from interaction between the genome and the environment?

3. To what extent can the limits of the ecological niche be understood from molecular stress responses?

Before this book was written, journal articles comprised the only literature on ecological genomics. They were widely scattered, difficult to find and do not present a unified approach.

Book Description

Ecology - the study of how individuals and species interact with their surroundings, and each other - has been revolutionised by a new molecular approach to the subject. By using molecular, biological and molecular genetic techniques, ecological interactions can be investigated in more detail and with more accuracy than ever before. An Introduction to Molecular Ecology makes this fascinating area of research accessible to students for the first time. Beginning with the history of molecular ecology, involving the relationships between natural history, genetics and evolution, the book moves on to discuss the areas of molecular population genetics, phylogeography, and molecular ecology in conservation biology. These are just a few of the ten chapters, which are individually structured to include background information, questions of interest, the underlying theory of the various molecular and analytical approaches, and a range of relevant examples. Two substantial appendices detail accounts of the main practical and analytical methods currently used in molecular ecology.

I cannot recommend his writings.

An Airborne success few people know about.......2000-08-13

You wonder sometimes if people actually comprehend what they read; in the case of Sicily I often run into people who want to call the Airborne operations "failures" because there were mistakes made when if you read the actual accounts, you realize the Airborne saved the day and accomplished its mission. The simple logic is that if the Airborne had not employed 3-D maneuver and dropped ahead of the sealanding forces, the Nazi Herman Goering Division would have swept the beaches clear; a mechanized 1st world Army threat the marines or Army troops in the Pacific never had to fear from the Japanese who only had thinly armored light tanks to contend with. Its funny how thousands of dead marine bodies in the surf at Tarawa after a mindless frontal assault is "valor" and a few hundred Army Paratroopers dispersed by winds on Sicily constitutes a "failure". At least these men didn't end up as a tragic KIA message to loved ones, but brought the fight to the enemy. The winds dispersing General Ridgway's Paratroopers actually helped; these forces were able as Breuer details--to stop German counter-attacks from reaching the beaches. On the modern, automatic weapons-swept battlefield dispersal is a virtue, it just takes resiliant, self-reliant men to fight this way; training to be mindless robots will not prevail in such conditions.

What is especially useful is that the author shows how then Colonel James M. Gavin insisted on parachute dropping 75mm pack howitzers and not 60mm mortars---this technotactical gut-level decision resulted in him being just able to stop German heavy Tiger tanks on Biazza Ridge and saving the day. Gavin's incredible on-the-spot presence of mind and leadership seeing the essence of the situation and rallying the Paratroops was born that day at Biazza Ridge. From that point on, Gavin fought long and hard to get adequate anti-tank weapons and their own armored fighting vehicles for his beloved Airborne troops. Breuer also describes how Gavin dispatched Major Ireland back to the beaches to get naval gunfire support, and how he used a bicycle to get there in time.

After the beaches were consolidated, the Paratroopers of the 82d Airborne were then sent ahead of the main body as elite shock troops/spearheads and marched rapidly across the island using bikes, carts and even horses/donkeys. This pattern has held true to the present---whereas the Airborne "opens the door" for larger forces to enter, they usually stay and continue to lead the way as infantry. Its logical that they be properly equipped with light AFVs like the Russian Airborne has in order to do this with more speed/firepower and less casualties. This book if actually read and comprehended proves that those who condemn the American Airborne at Sicily are biased and ignorant of the facts of their triumph. This book would make a good start point for a script for a Saving Private Ryan-type film.

As jump procedures (Pathfinders to mark Drop Zones), equipment (bazooka rocket launchers, jeeps with 57mm anti-tank guns) improved, the Airborne became a "fire Brigade/Division" saving the day in Italy against a mechanized German Army unlike anything ever faced in the Pacific. In France, and across the long marches to Germany, the American Airborne acted as the 3-D maneuvering spearheads opening the doors for heavier 2-D armored forces to drive "on to Berlin" as General Gavin details in the book by that name. There is a Drop Zone at Fort Bragg named after this island battle--we should think of this brilliant book and the men who turned the tide of war there--whenever we conduct Airborne operations there today.

Airborne!

Great Read.......2000-03-06

Breuer tells it like it was, with vivid detail and captivating clarity. The reader will not be able to put down this book. It immerses you in the adventures of young American paratroopers who were put in extraordinary circumstances and acted extraordinarily. It is also frightening how Breuer reveals that intelligence played down the threat posed by enemy forces at Sicily. It is an amazing story of how young men can prevail in the midst of intelligence blunders.

Spellbinding details.......1998-06-17

This story reveals how allies were put at risk ( intentionally ) so the Germans would not realize that their ULTRA,coding machine, was deciphered. Although this act was to secure a complete surprise on D-Day, many measures could have been taken to combat the elite German units on the island. This story enriches us with fact, detail, and a bit of humor. My father / grandparents lived through this ordeal in 1943 and what was described in this book is 100% true. Many Sicilians were tired of the war, and were anxious to put that brutal chapter of history behind them. When the allied forces appeared the Sicilians rejoiced, and welcomed the allies with open arms. This campaign almost ended with disaster, and the sheer bravery of allies helped push back a counterattack.

Excellent study of a neglected campaign........1997-09-18

HUSKY, the largest Allied invasion up to that time and second to only OVERLORD in the European Campaign, was a FUBAR for the new Airborne formations. Blown off course by unexpectedly high winds, and shot up by Allied gunners, the ragtag outfits still managed to manhandle the best the Nazis had to offer.
Their story is well told by William Breuer, one of the best military historians today, with excellent fast-moving narrative that takes the reader back into that world of youthful courage and danger.
Highly recommended, as are all other of Brerer's works.

Gavin saves Invasion but without adequate Mobility or Firepower.......2007-08-12

The critical lessons to learn from this book is that General Gavin insisted on 75mm pack howitzers being airdropped in pieces (but connected together by a rope) with them despite the extra work required to re-assemble them instead of being lazy and simplistic as today's lightfighters are known to do. In war, as in life, you get what you pay for, and fortunately Gavin had read intelligence reports from Crete where German paratroopers had used towed recoilless rifles for decisive effects and knew to bring his own hip-pocket high explosive firepower means. Even General Ridgway wanted to skimp and just drop some puny mortars---which would have not stopped the German tanks at Biazza Ridge as the howitzers and 2.36" bazooka rocket launchers did, saving the entire invasion from a German panzer division counter-attack. The USMC has never fought a capable first world enemy army (they never fought the combined-arms Germans in WW2) but the U.S. Army that has fought such capable foes was blessed by visionaries like Lee, Gavin, Yarborough and Ryder who insisted it obtain a three-dimensional defacto cavalry force to land ahead of the 2D maneuvering main body, saving the day in Sicily, Italy, France, Holland and Germany.

The next important lesson for a "sky cavalry" is ground mobility after air-delivery---after turning back the panzers, Gavin's men had to scrounge the countryside for bikes, carts, horses and trucks to get across the island since they did not have their own organic air-delivered mobility means. Gavin would later on solve this as Chief of Army Research and Development in the 1950s with the invention of the air-transportable, amphibious, all-terrain tracked armored personnel carrier, the amazing M113 now known after his name.

Book Description

"In this unique book, Karen Maroda forges current and past ideas on countertransference into a new interpersonal approach to treatment. This approach emphasizes mutuality and debunks the idea that psychoanalysis needs to cling to authoritarianism to maintain its essential integrity. The author discusses the desire for transformation, which seems to motivate not only patients but their therapists as well, and emphasizes the transference-countertransference interplay, noting that both patient and therapist will try to re-enact their past dramas."

Customer Reviews:

Essential info for therapists and interested others.......2004-01-01

Maroda is a psychoanalyst and much of what she writes relates specifically to that form of doing therapy. However, what she has to say is far too important to anyone doing therapy for this to be a deterrent to reading the book. Her thesis is that the real healing in therapy comes through the relationship between the therapist and client and that this relationship should be one between equals. She advocates that therapists respond openly to client questions, avoiding the traditional authoritarian, I-know-what's good-for-you stance that may have been (but probably wasn't)appropriate in Freud's time and culture but isn't today. As a client and therapist, I found this book inspiring.
