Okay but overpriced.......2001-08-16

This handbook had some decent activities and questionnaires. There was a lot of repetition for the activities, however, with similar sections for participants and facilitators in each. So, instead of having 250+ pages of novel material there is maybe 50 pages.

There were four or five self-reflection questions in many of the activities that seemed fairly commonsense. I guess I was hoping for more thought and emotion-provoking material. For the price I expected more. This handbook would be a good value if it was not quite as expensive.

This book is chock full of activities for management training and development, which is my function at my company. I use this book (for 2 years) extensively and consider it a pearl.

Our company also uses a great book that is required reading for our managers in their development program. I recommend it because it is easy to understand and simple for your trainees to use: "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."

Book Description

In 1945, at the end of World War II, American occupation forces began the daunting task of rebuilding democratic society in war-shattered Germany. Key to this reconstruction was the establishment of a democratically oriented legal system. Justice Delayed examines how the United States attempted to reconstitute a democratic legal system in Bavaria on the ruins of Hitler's "thousand-year Reich."

Book Description

Interpreting Astronomical Spectra D. Emerson Institute for Astronomy, Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Edingurgh "Interpreting Astronomical Spectra" describes how physical conditions such as temperature, density and composition can be obtained from the spectra of a broad range of astronomical environments ranging from the cold interstellar medium to very hot coronal gas and from stellar atmospheres to quasars. In this book the author has succeeded in providing a coherent and integrated approach to the interpretation of astronomical spectroscopy, placing the emphasis on the physical understanding of spectrum formation rather than on instrumental considerations. MKS units and consistent symbols are employed throughout so that the fundamental ideas common to diverse environments are made clear and the importance of different temperature ranges and densities can be seen. Aimed at senior undergraduates and graduates studying physics, astronomy and astrophysics, this book will also appeal to the professional astronomer.

Book Description

Interfacial phenomena driven by heat or mass transfer are widespread in science and various branches of engineering. Research in this area has become quite active in recent years, attributable in part, at least, to the entry of physicists and their sophisticated experimental techniques into the field. Until now, however, the field has lacked a readable account of the recent developments. Interfacial Phenomena and Convection remedies this problem by furnishing a self-contained monograph that examines a rich variety of phenomena in which interfaces pay a crucial role. From a unified perspective that embraces physical chemistry, fluid mechanics, and applied mathematics, the authors study recent developments related to the Marangoni effect, including patterned convection and instabilities, oscillatory/wavy phenomena, and turbulent phenomena. They examine Bénard layers subjected to transverse and longitudinal thermal gradients and phenomena involving surface tension gradients as the driving forces, including falling films, drops, and liquid bridges. It is only in the past two or three decades that researchers have performed suitable, clear-cut experiments involving interfacial phenomena, and the stage is now set for a virtual explosion of the field. Interfacial Phenomena and Convection will bring you quickly up to date on the advances realized and prepare you to both use the results and to make further advances.

Book Description

Marangoni (1878), provided a wealth of detailed information on the effects of variations of the potential energy of liquid surfaces and, in particular, flow arising from variations in temperature and surfactant composition. One aspect of this science is seen today to bear on important phenomena associated with the processing of modern materials. The role of the basic effect in technology was probably first demonstrated by chemical engineers in the field of liquid-liquid extraction. Indeed, phenomena attributable to Marangoni flows have been reported in innumerable instances relevant to modern technologies, such as in hot salt corrosion in aeroturbine blades; the drying of solvent-containing paints; the drying of silicon wafers used in electronics; in materials processing, particularly in metallic systems which have been suspected to demonstrate Marangoni flows.

Book Description

For Want of a Nail is an alternate history classic. The outcome of one battle in the American Revolution diverges from reality, and sparks an unstoppable chain of events which affects the history of the whole North American continent. In reality, the British general John Burgoyne, heavily outnumbered by American troops, surrendered his army to General Horatio Gates at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, a major turning-point of the Revolution. Robert Sobel takes a step sideways and presents the alternative version: reinforcements arrive at Saratoga, Gates' men flee, and Burgoyne is victorious. Rather than openly allying itself with the American rebels, France withdraws its support, as does Spain, and the colonies surrender. Those former rebels who refuse to live in the Confederation of North America established by the British leave their homes and settle in what becomes the United States of Mexico. From then on the two continental nations find themselves constant rivals, locked in military, political and economic conflict. Sobel provides a detailed, intricately documented insight into two warring powers that develop in such dramatically different ways from their shared origins.

1776: What if the Brits had won?.......2006-11-27

I first read Robert Sobel's FOR WANT OF A NAIL in the 1970s when I came across it by chance in a library. I recently purchased the Greenhill paperback edition and reread it. I rediscovered a fascinating alternate history (this was one of the first A.H. books) in which Great Britain prevailed over its rebellious American Colonists in 1776.

In this alternate history the eastern half of North America evolves into a mild mannered British-influenced land known as the Confederation of North America, a sort of Greater Canada that is prosperous but bland. The western half of North America evolves into an Anglo-Hispanic superpower known as the United States of Mexico that is created when America's defeated rebels migrate to Texas then conquer Mexico and then expand its territory to encompass all the lands between South America and Alaska. Unfortunately as history unfolds, the United States of Mexico abandons the Anglo-American ideals of liberty, regressing instead to the Latin American model of alternating between destructive bouts of fascist aggression and populist/socialist economic destruction. A third superpower known as Kramer Associates evolves on Taiwan when the United States of Mexico's middle class flees there to escape the chaos and political oppression in the U.S.M.

FOR WANT OF A NAIL is a credible scenario of what might have happened if the Brits had won in 1776 and the United States had been stillborn. Robert Sobel, an economic historian, paints a very detailed and credible canvas of politics and economics in this alternative world. After reading the book an American comes away feeling very pleased that our forefathers succeeded in creating the USA. Canada and Mexico are fine countries, but it is fortunate that the major part of the North American Continent won its independence and evolved into something different from either.

Oops, Buyer Beware.......2006-11-05

I have to say that this book is probably very good for what it is, but when I bought it, I didn't realize what it is. It's an alternate history book, but it is NOT an alternate history novel. It seemed to me that it would be like other alternate history novels with this one having the basis of the Battle of Saratoga going differently and then as a result the American Revolution fails. The book does tell such a story, but it's written as a history textbook. There is not plot line. There are no characters. This would be a history book that you might use for a college survey class in this fictional world.

So if you want to read up on a history that doesn't exist, and read about historical figures doing things they didn't do or historical figures that don't exist, you might enjoy this. But even so, there should at least be a map so you could visualize what the North American Union would look like.

Please keep in mind that this book was written in the 1970s when the specific genre of alternate history was barely established at all.

Words can't even describe it. .......2006-10-02

Sobel has accomplished what few ever have....a true alternative history. Its one thing to have the South win the Civil War or the Nazi's World War 2 but to strive to write something as a textbook as if the events actually happened shows dedication to what you're writing and great courage.

The book is amazing as it takes the reader in directions he never would have thought the "magic if" works very well here.

Overall-Alternative History fans, this one is defiantly worth a look.

Great Book...........2005-08-09

At first the depthness of this book turned me off but as I read this over lunches at work I got sucked in. The detail is so believeable it reads like a good textbook.

Has its good and bad parts.......2005-05-10

This is a tough book to rate because on some levels it is amazing, while on others it is a frustrating read. First, the good parts. The author has gone into an incredible level of detail making up an entire fake world complete with 200 years of history. He includes footnotes from ficticious books and never once breaks character, giving the reader the impression that the world he describes really does exist and that this is its history. It's also intellectually stimulating to examine the ways that history diverges, and how some of the same problems emerge in different ways.

On to the bad. The only part of this book that is common with real history is about the first three chapters (out of 37 or so). That being the case, as time goes on, the subject matter becomes more and more unrecognizable, so that soon none of the names or events are familiar. The interesting part about history is knowing that the people and events you are reading about shaped the world you live in today. For this reason, when you read about the election of Lincoln, it is interesting because it is relevant. In this book, however, much of the text is a series of political races in which neither candidate is familiar from the real world. So when you read that Galloway defeated Smith, it's really just mumbo jumbo. When none of the characters or issues are familiar, it's hard to derive a lot of meaning from the book. Something else that would have really helped would have been a map, because many of the place names are changed from real history, so when the author refers to places like "Burgoyne" or "Vandalia" you don't really know what he's talking about, which also decreases relevance.

I think that someone who is not a serious history buff would have trouble enjoying this book. I have a degree in history and I'm not sure how I feel about it, so I don't know how someone less interested in the field would react.

Book Description

This volume examines the political, cultural, and social role of the population with African background in the shaping of national identity in various Latin American countries. Slavery survived well into the nineteenth century in countries such as Brazil and Cuba; first its existence and then the dismantling of the institution strongly affected the definition of citizenship in the emerging nation-states. However, not all blacks were slaves, and a significant number of slaves gained their freedom during periods of war and other central events in the process of state formation. In addition to their direct participation in struggles of national significance, blacks also wrote on social, political, and cultural issues. Their involvement in politics—in elections, civil wars and revolutions, and in office—as well as in religious activities, family institutions, and civil associations, is considered in terms of the broader significance to the forging of citizenship and national identity.

Contributors include Carmen Bernand (University of Paris X), Jonathan Curry-Machado (London Metropolitan University), Lauren Derby (University of Chicago), David Geggus (University of Florida), Franklin W. Knight (Johns Hopkins University), and Jean Stubbs (London Metropolitan University).

Book Description

Alan Turning is widely known as the cryptographer extraordinaire of Bletchly Park, the man who broke the Nazi Enigma code. He has also been described as the father of the modern computer, dreaming of a machine that could think adn inaugurating a scientific revolution that we are deep in the midst of today. His work entailed too a challenge to the science of ourselves, exploring the limits between the human and technological.

Fine, as far as it goes.......2007-03-19

This book presents a credible history of the development of the modern computer, albeit through deeply-tinted, rose-colored spectacles. The treatment, though, is rather superficial, and this volume reads more like a juvenile history than a work for adults.

The author filters his story through the lens of a Dickensian view of industrial development. It would seem that the nineteenth century was a hellish world of alienated workers slaving like drones in chaotic, out-of-control facories that cried out for organization and control. This despite the fact that the nineteenth century saw the greatest increases in standards of living in history.

Curiously, the author confuses the nineteenth century quest for a universal computing maching with the eighteenth century quest for The Longitude. It would seem that the development of the computer was spurred on by the need to keep the Royal Navy off the rocks at the Isles of Scilly, a problem which had been resolved in the mid-eighteenth century by John Harrison's method of determining longitude, which required only relatively simple navigational computations. There is precious little discussion of the insurance industry, whose growth during the nineteenth century created a need for detailed and lengthy actuarial tables was the original impetus behind Charles Babbage's efforts to build a 'difference engine' in the nineteenth century.

The material on Turing and twentieth century work towards a universal computing machine is better. But even here, the author's biases show through. The material on the Nazi engineer Konrad Zuse isn't always covered in works of this sort. Yet Zuse is portrayed as "only a young engineer, in a lowly position in a large company..." (p. 45). This sort of thing has long since grown tiresome. One wishes the author would simply get on with the story.

Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of this history is the author's penchant for describing people as if they were computers. Right off the bat, the author characterizes us as living in a "two-tier modern world of general-and special-purpose humans...built in the nineteenth century." (p. 11) Or later, when the British civil service is described as being comprised of "generalist 'intellectuals' and rule-following 'mechanicals'..." (p. 143)

And therein lies the true theme of this book. We live in a two-class society, made up of intellectuals who think for us and the rest of us, who follow the rules they create. And we are all quite happily managed by the electronic computer. This thesis would be laughable if the author set it up as a straw-man, to then attack in moral outrage. But incredibly, Professor Agar seems to view it as the natural and desirable order of things. It makes for very interesting, if somewhat naive, reading.

If you have never read a history of computing and are interested in the subject, thenthis isn't really a bad book. It's just that there are so many books out there that are better than this one. I'd suggest a search on "computer history" here on Amazon. You will get a list of a dozen or so histories that tell the story with more distance and less bias than this volume.

Profound Ideas.......2006-01-09

This brief "history" is more of a thought-provoking analysis of the idea of computing than a recital of the crucial events leading to what we currently think of as a modern computer. Though it does provide some fascinating historical tidbits not found elsewhere, the power of this work lies in its discussion of the underlying theory of computing. For example, Mr. Agar's initial take on Babbage, i.e. that in designing the analytical engine he was merely recreating a manufacturing center, with which he was intimately familiar, is just the first of many profound observations that seem to be tossed off without further comment. Portraying Bletchley Park as a computer itself with the various huts being distributed processors was also a sound analogy and would be a tremendously effective segue into a story about the Internet. The story of Mr. Zuse's machine is likewise a fine example of Mr. Agar's thesis that the increase in computing power merely reflects the increasing complexity of our world. He raises a brilliantly multi-faceted what came first--chicken or egg--argument. Did complexity give birth to the computer or vice-versa? However, I think his ideas go well beyond that premise--though the comments on modern bureaucracy and corporate management were rather cryptic, isn't it true that in the world of "google" we are all distributed processors in a gigantic Universal Machine?

I am surprised that the author didn't fully develop the swiss knife analogy with which he began the book. In a real sense any stand-alone computer is a special purpose machine because it is limited by its user. It is only when programming is universally understood or, better yet, a transparent part of using the machine that we have a truly universal machine. And that is developing right under our noses--the internet has in just a few short years completely changed the educational experience (given the power of the internet my kids have never had to worry about not being able to find the right books in the local library), it has dramatically changed the marketplace (the most obscure books or materials are but a click away), it continues to redefine modern media (Drudge?) and to churn out innovation. But is the latest step towards a truly universal machine--the Internet--the result of society's changes or the cause?

We are blind to the significance of the computer because we are surrounded by its effects. Something huge is coming--the machine envisioned by Turing is still being developed--will we be ready for it, will we be able to understand its power, will we even recognize it when it arrives?

A good primer for the topic at hand.......2005-07-27

I was really hoping for a more detailed time line of the events leading upto the ENIGMA and what eventually lead to the first commercial computers during the late 50s and mid 60s. The author spent a great deal of time detailing the mathematical advances and controversies that spurred the technological advances we see today. Overall the book was mildly interesting, but probably not for the average reader. On the other end of the spectrum it was too much of a primer for anyone with some historical knowledge of mathematics and its part in developing computers.

Eccentric history of the modern computer.......2003-01-10

This curious little book is a pleasant read for those with a knowledge of the history of computers -- heaven knows what others will make of it! It begins with a brief survey of Charles Babbage, which is generally accurate. Followed by some excellent information on Hollerith and the history of punched cards. Agar then covers Konrad Zuse in much more detail than I've seen elsewhere. (Zuse is one of those computer pioneers who was lost to history for a bit and now rediscovered. He built computers in his living room to help design Nazi airplanes.) There follows a whirlwind tour of early American efforts by Aiken, Atanasoff and Mauchly.

Then things get strange as Agar jumps to an in-depth explanation of the basis of modern mathematics (way over my head) with a discussion of Hilbert, Godel, Riemann, Cantor, etc. The book then winds up with a discussion of Turing's contributions to mathematics and code breaking, with an overview of British code-breaking efforts and post-war computer development. All of this overlaid with some peculiar attempts to philosophize on the nature and future of computers.

Whew! You can't do justice to all this in a 150 page paperback, and he doesn't. But the book is well-written and travels down some less-traveled roads, so it's a fun read for computer folk.

The Making of the Modern Computer.......2002-12-25

I would rather term this book as The Making of Modern Computer rather than Turing and the Universal Machine.
It covers whole lot of stories right from the analog machine to modern computer. I expected lot about how Turing and how he made the Universal computer. It is worth reading about the whole history of computer.
Very less information about Turing and his work.

WE LEARN TO LIVE.......2007-04-06

The book is about people,places and changes shifting from the past to the present.The book seeks some centre of meaning in life. It presents to everyone about what happened to people of the world centuries ago; the configuration of people,their understanding and the role of each individual person on Earth. The book tells about historical events of West Africa in the 15th century in such a way that it is easy to understand. It tells a little history about Portugal and what promted them to sail to West Africa.It tells about history of the Netherlands and their aim and what prompted them to visit West Africa in the first place. I was enlightened about the slave trade, and the booming exports of cocoa,gold,diamonds in Ghana and why West Africa has become what it is today. 1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List

Product Description

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A357023. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Circulation and transport of the low-level jet (LLJ) were examined for a case of severe convection that occurred in Spring 1995. Radiosonde observations and Eta model output on constant pressure and isentropic surfaces allowed a detailed examination of the relationship between the LLJ and a subtropical jet (STJ) streak. Height falls associated with a lee cyclone caused an ageostrophic and isallobaric wind that strengthened the LLJ. The smaller horizontal resolution of Eta model grids and hourly forecasts allowed a detailed examination of the LLJ evolution and transport methods. The radiosonde observations, when interpolated to grid points, yielded suspicious results over higher terrain. The hourly forecast of transport variables revealed a step-by- step progression of convection along ridges of equivalent potential temperature advection. The evolution of the LLJ appeared to be influenced by a thermally indirect circulation (TIC) induced in the exit region of a STJ streak. A low- level isallobaric wind responding to a leeside trough and cyclogenesis also effected the LLJ. The TIC is part of the ageostrophic circulation in the exit region of the streak. The low-level isallobaric wind coincided with a trough moving east over the northern Great Plains and a deepening trough in the lee of the Rockies. Results of the case study for the LLJ evolution showed: (1) The LLJ developed beneath a STJ streak exit region as the lower branch of an indirect circulation. (2) A strong cross-contour ageostrophic wind in the lower troposphere aided in accelerating the LLJ.
