Book Description

The book starts with a detailed description of ICP-MS, including quadruple-based, sector-based and time-of-flight instruments. Instrumentation from existing manufacturers is described and compared to show their similarities and differences. Also, a review of the ICP-MS literature is carried out to outline both the strengths and limitations of the technique, whatever its brand, as well as what it can currently accomplish in terms of applications. Then, the book demonstrates how these limitations can be reduced and/or eliminated by combining various techniques with ICP-MS. Great detail is provided on each technique so that the reader can get a good understanding of it before carrying on to the instrumental requirements for its hyphenation to ICP-MS, and the resulting impact on the operation of the hyphenated instrument. Since this book is concerned with the ICP side only, which is fairly similar in all the instruments from the different manufacturers, the information should be useful to all ICP-MS users. The features and limitations of each technique are thoroughly discussed and illustrated with a review of the ICP-MS literature. Approaches which could be used but have not yet been tried with ICP-MS are also suggested. This is particularly true of flow injection techniques which are extremely flexible and have been used extensively in atomic spectroscopy and spectrophotometry. Many of the features of the technique have not yet been combined to ICP-MS, and one purpose of the book will be to point out potentially beneficial combinations.

Book Description

This well-written book explains the theory of spectral methods and their application to the computation of viscous incompressible fluid flows in clear and elementary terms. It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of spectral methods and then moves on to cover, in particular, the Fourier and Chebyshev methods. Examples are included. Chapters 6 and 7 handle streamfunction-vorticity and velocity-pressure fomulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. Chapter 8 and 9 address special topics such as self- adaptive coordinate transform, treatment of singularities, and domain decomposition. The work will be useful to those teaching in the field at the graduate level, as well as to researchers working in the area.

Book Description

Taken from the highly acclaimed Oxford Ibsen, this collection of Ibsen's plays includes A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, and The Master Builder.

Customer Reviews:

Masterful Ibsen.......2007-07-27

Rather predictably, the first play offered here is "A Doll's House", the most famous of Ibsen's works. Strangely enough, this ended up NOT being my favorite of the four plays provided in this small collection, but I'll get to that in a moment. Next we have "Ghosts", "Hedda Gabler", and finally "The Master Builder".

"A Doll's House", 86 pages long, is also provided here with the alternate German ending. The ending was deemed so scandalous that Ibsen was forced to write up another ending, in which things go slightly differently. "A Doll's House", a play about a woman who rather does the unthinkable (in that time, at least) to help her husband and then once again to herself, is remarkably interesting. Ibsen plays are generally extremely fun to analyze, simply because there's always something there. Nobody would read dull plays, after all. The alternate ending provided is actually the most interesting part of all. It shows us what the impact of this play was on society at the time that it came out. Perhaps we find these things somewhat more "normal" (though they're actually not, and are still considered rather scandalous) and acceptable, so this ending really reminds us of WHY this play was so impressive and WHY Ibsen was such a strange character for his time. An intriguing play, though not my favorite.

No, that falls to "Ghosts". A play that once again touches on difficult subjects that are most intriguing, "Ghosts" chilled me from beginning to end. It was a more interesting play, overall, because it seemed to me more human. That's not to say that "A Doll's House" wasn't human (it definitely is), but there was something about "Ghosts" that touched me more than the other plays. At 73-pages and with fewer characters, "Ghosts" is an easier play to really read, and certainly an enjoyable one.

"Hedda Gabler" changes things a bit. The plot suddenly becomes a bit more interesting with a touch more mystery and intrigue. There are moments that positively creeped me out ("I'm burning your child") and moments where I just shivered. The ending is a bit more intense than in the previous plays, though less surprising. The play felt very different from "Ghosts" or "A Doll's House", though it was still clearly an Ibsen "morbid but interesting" play.

For me, "The Master Builder" is the odd play out. It's the one that, a. Bored me the most, b. Seemed to take the longest (though only barely longer than "A Doll's House, at 88 pages, and shorter than the 97-paged long "Hedda Gabler"), and c. Seemed the least realistic. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the ending wouldn't seem to work on stage. I felt like at some point Ibsen kind of forgot that he was writing a play and mentioned things that wouldn't really work (unless they have a complex blue screen, but those didn't exist in his time...). There are ways around it, certainly, and it's a minor flaw, but I found that "The Master Building" just didn't have that spark that the other plays seemed to have. No, it's not a BAD play, but it's not my favorite among these either.

While there are many options out there for buying Ibsen plays, this one is certainly a good buy. While the Signet edition also gives us four plays for a few dollars cheaper, instead of the incredible "Ghosts", we get the reasonable "The Wild Duck". For those few dollars, I'd opt for "Ghosts". Also, the book type itself is better in this edition as opposed to the Signet Classics one.

Highly recommended to anyone interesting in a good play to analyze and enjoy. Enjoy!

old but still good.......2007-01-10

it was an older book, but it was in good shape. good plays too.

A translation to beat all others.......2001-06-21

James McFarlane's and Jens Arup's translations of Ibsen have long been classics and are arguably the best. Although they were published in England almost forty years ago, they still sound remarkably fresh and will be in print for many years to come.

In "A Doll's House" (1879), Ibsen casts us into the world of Nora Helmer, a young Norwegian housewife and Nordic Madame Bovary. Highlighting the restricted position of women in male-dominated society, the play sparked such an uproar in Scandinavia when it appeared that "many a social invitation during that winter bore the words: 'You are requested not to mention Ibsen's Doll's House!'" In fact, Hedwig Niemann-Raabe, the actress who was to play Nora on tour in Germany, was so appalled at the ending of this play -- at this female "monster" -- that she demanded Ibsen write an alternative one in German, which he did (a "barbaric outrage", in his words). McFarlane has appended this German-language ending (and a translation in English).

Based on the theme, "The sins of the fathers shall be visited on the children," "Ghosts" (1881) is one of Ibsen's most riveting plays. Like "A Doll's House", it, too, was denounced on its début ("crapulous stuff", "an open drain", one London reviewer called it -- certainly a Victorian exaggeration). As in most of his plays, Ibsen probes the hypocrisies of patriarchal society, which he deems to be rotten at its core, and stultifying provincial life ("Doesn't the sun ever shine here?"). Typically, he also casts women in a favorable light.

"A Doll's House" and "Ghosts" established Ibsen's reputation as one of the finest playwrights in Europe, but his next two plays -- "Hedda Gabler" (1890) and "The Master Builder" (1892) -- gave him undisputed international fame. As McFarlane points out, the 1890s "were the years when the publication of a new Ibsen play sent profound cultural reverberations throughout Europe and the world." "Hedda Gabler" marks Ibsen's shift away from highly controversial dramas primarily concerned with social and sexual injustice to "domestic" plays that addressed the struggle of individuals to control each other, people who "want to control the world, but cannot control [themselves]." "Hedda Gabler" is a thoroughly electrifying drama about a married woman's devouring sense of decay and confinement. "The Master Builder", which Ibsen coupled with "Hedda Gabler", is his riveting look into sexual potency and the domination of youth by age.

These plays are not as dark and dirty as they might seem. Whatever reviewers may have said about them when they came out and whatever gloomy stuff psychiatrists have written about them since, if you're at all familiar with prime-time television, they won't offend you -- in fact, you probably wont even lift an eyebrow. Still, I found myself glued to them for hours and I've read them before. Find a copy for your shelf!

Four classic plays from Ibsen.......1996-10-31

Actually, I've only read two of these plays before but I did
want to list the names of the four included in this volume:

A Doll's House;
Ghosts;
Hedda Gabler;
The Master Builder.

Masterful social drama (to sound like a back-of-the-book blurb).
Seriously though, Ibsen's plays are wonderful.

Bush wouldn't get rid of Osama Bin Laden.......2004-10-31

More than 3 years after Osama Bin Laden and his gang attacked us we still are having to deal with his threats. We need a president who will not lose sight of our true enemies. After losing so many of our young men and women and spending so much money we are no safer than we were on 9/11!

What was the point?

Please vote for John Kerry.

WITTY, VIVID BIN LADEN PORTRAIT.......2003-04-16

Dennis writes with a novelist's love of words and a biographer's interest in his subject. He avoids the legends and uncorroborated stories about Bin Laden and sticks with only the facts he is able to confirm or which have a solid factual basis. This is the largest small book I have ever read. Dennis doesn't waste time puffing his adventures in pursuit of his quarry like some journalists do. Instead, he gets out of the camera's way and takes us on a narrated tour of Bin Laden's world and his political place in it. Told with flashes of hard-won insight into the Muslim world, this book is valuable for the student as well as the generalist. I particularly liked the way he related Muslim Brother Sayyid Qutb's ideas (d. 1966) to Bin Laden's own revolutionary program and his thoughtful discussion of Bin Laden vs. Iranian President Khatami's political thought. Excellent, original and well done!!

Insightful Analysis of a Madman.......2002-11-09

Mr. Dennis has once again proven himself as the quintessential scholar when it comes to knowledge about the threat posed by radical Islamists like Osma Bin Laden. The portrait painted of Bin Laden and his followers is insightful and balanced. If policy makers in the 1990s had heeded Dennis' warnings and recommendations, perhaps many lives would have been saved. Instead our children live under the black cloud of terrosim exactly as Dennis predicted.

EXPLAINS THE MAN AND HIS PLACE IN THE MUSLIM WORLD.......2002-10-19

In his latest book, Dennis sets out to achieve several related objectives. He provides a truly three dimensional, "living" portrait of the young Bin Laden and the influences at work in his life based on the known facts. This provides the "key" to understanding Bin Laden's mental landscape and the psychological forces at work in his young life that led him down the terrorist path. The book is unique in that aspect. Dennis then dissects Bin Laden's political techniques and speeches to show him as the Great Communicator of the radical Muslim world. Dennis shows how Bin Laden's visual imagery (lying on a humble pallet of a cave in one video) speaks to Muslims in ways that escape Western audiences. Dennis links the cave imagery to the chapter in the Koran called "The Cave." The author has an admirable understanding of the Koran and how Bin Laden plays off of the Koran in communicating to his audience. The final chapters of the book are thick with information on other fundamentalist figures from the Muslim world, past and present, and show how Bin Laden's pronouncements fit into that larger world of Islamic political thought. This gives the reader a more objective view of how unique or typical Bin Laden is compared to Qutb, Khomeini and others. The book is valuable in each of its parts as well as a whole. A nice addition to the growing Bin Laden literature.

Save your money -- buy "Through Our Enemies' Eyes" instead.......2002-10-09

"Through Our Enemies' Eyes" has much more factual information about Osama Bin Laden than this book -- and it has a much higher Amazon.com sales rank. Follow the votes to invest more wisely. Don't make the same mistake that I did in purchasing this book.

Book Description

For thirteen years, Heather Ross Miller, her husband Clyde and their children lived in North Carolinas Singletary Park, a remote wilderness fifty miles from the nearest town. This memoir, written in quiet narrative, explores her life in the park, recounting the hardships and the joys that taught her to respect both nature and the people sharing her hinterland.

From Crusoes Island:
We had grown up close to each other, but, separated by a generation, still didnt know each other. But when I got to the park, I heard rumors about Clyde: hed been in the navy, hed been to Chapel Hill, to Mars Hill, to Bowling Green University, graduating finally from Pfeiffer College, the Methodist school just seventeen miles up the road. If you left your pocketbook in his way, the last summers secretary warned me, Clyde Miller would paint right over it. He didnt care. He thrived on eccentricity. He lived in the kitchen of the ranger barracks, made it his pad, even had a hi-fi system built right into the kitchen cabinets. The other seasonal help, lifeguards and park attendants, boys between college semesters, were awed by the man, thirty years old, who filled the barracks with barbells and other weight-lifting equipment, papered the walls with Playboy centerfolds, and left cold bourbon in the fridge where even his own mother could see it.
They told me Clyde had slept with a hundred women.
And I, at nineteen, was tantalized.

Huck Finn's Sister.......2000-08-11

I didn't know Huck Finn had a married sister until I read Crusoe's Island. I found the lady and her autobiography warmly engaging and wonderful. She says 'pine straw' and we say 'pine shats', but the smell of each, like her book, is lasting.

Book Description

A proud working-class woman, an “out” lesbian long before the Rainbow revolution, Joan Nestle has stood at the forefront of American freedom struggles from the McCarthy era to the present day. Featuring photographs and a new introduction by the author, this classic collection which intimately accounts the lesbian, feminist and civil rights movements through personal essays is available again for the first time in years.

Customer Reviews:

WOW!.......2006-10-24

This is a wonderful book and should not be missed.

The last entry "Hope" has such power - of desire and spirit that you eagerly want more from this tremendous talent.

I bought this book because it is recommended reading by Tee A. Corinne in her anthology `Lovers - love and sex stories' making special mention of "the density and complex levels of caring" in the story `Esther'.

Synopsis -In this collection of stories, speeches and personal essays, Joan Nestle covers her experiences in the civil rights, feminist, and gay and lesbian rights movements, from the 1950s through the 1980s. She writes about the struggle, the sense of working together, and the real changes in society that came about because she and others took a stand. A RESTRICTED COUNTRY has been considered an essential book since its publication in the late 1980s.

A renewed appreciation of what it means to be lesbian.......2003-12-13

A Restricted Country is the personal and candid testimony of lesbian activist, speaker, and working class woman Joan Nestle. Originally published in 1987, this new edition of A Restricted Country now features new black-and-white photographs and a new introduction. Joan Nestle's core musings concerning censorship, memories, the "historical sisterhood" of lesbians and prostitutes, sexual changes in society throughout the twentieth century, and more, offer timeless insights and a renewed appreciation of what it means to be lesbian.

One of my top ten.......2000-01-19

This book of essays is one of my most favorite books about lesbian herstory.

Joan Nestle is a co-founder of the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn, NY, and her passion for remembering and honoring lesbian life and culture can be seen in this collection. From the perspective of a witness/participant in the pre-Stonewall era of gay life in NYC, Nestle recreates the courage and the struggles of lesbians to find each other and create community in the '50s and '60s. Nestle's writing is beautiful and moving; this book is unique.
