Book Description
What is it that turns a new observation into a true scientific discovery? And who may claim the credit? Theoreticians of science, the foremost thinkers of their times among them, have tried to answer these fundamental questions about the nature of scientific progress and discovery.
With clear insight and the chemical as well as philosophical wisdom gained from over fifty years as a practising chemist, Jerome Berson puts their theories to the test. The development of chemistry into a "modern" science during the last two centuries provides him with ample cases to illustrate the way scientific progress really happens.
Kekulé's struggle to arrive at a structure for benzene, the paradigm change that was necessary to accept the reality of molecular rearrangements, and other episodes are retold here from the philosopher's as well as from the practitioner's perspective, shedding light on the way scientists think and act.
Berson's account of the rather unphilosophical way in which scientific discoveries are made includes the realization that even a false hypothesis, such as Woodward's ideas about the biosynthesis of strychnine, may help rather than hinder scientific progress.
Scientists of all ages, as well as many non-scientists, will find this a highly readable and unusual book.

Book Description
This book succinctly covers the key topics of numerical methods. While it is basically a survey of the subject, it has enough depth for the student to walk away with the ability to implement the methods by writing computer programs or by applying them to problems in physics or engineering.
The author manages to cover the essentials while avoiding redundancies and using well-chosen examples and exercises. The exposition is supplemented by numerous figures. Work estimates and pseudo codes are provided for many algorithms, which can be easily converted to computer programs. Topics covered include interpolation, the fast Fourier transform, iterative methods for solving systems of linear and nonlinear equations, numerical methods for solving ODEs, numerical methods for matrix eigenvalue problems, approximation theory, and computer arithmetic.
In general, the author assumes only a knowledge of calculus and linear algebra. The book is suitable as a text for a first course in numerical methods for mathematics students or students in neighboring fields, such as engineering, physics, and computer science.

Book Description
Between 1917 and 1955, E.L. "Slonnie" Sloniger was a WWI fighter pilot, a barnstormer, a test pilot, a racer, an acrobatic pilot, and a commercial pilot. Here, "Fate is the Hunter's" Old Number One tells the story in his own words, as recorded by his son.
Customer Reviews:
Old Number One.......2000-03-05
If you've heard of E.L. Sloniger chances are it's because you read about him in one of Ernest K. Gann's fine books such as "Flying Circus", "A Hostage to Fortune" or his masterpiece, "Fate is the Hunter". "Slonnie" was known as "Old Number One" because he was the first official airline pilot with American Airlines and had the seniority number of 1. Gann revered him as did many others because he was the finest and most experienced air transport pilot in the world. This book will tell you all you ever wanted to know about him. It traces his long flying career from learning to fly in the army during WW1 to barnstorming, flying the mail and pioneering the airlines including over ocean flights, to his retirement in the late fifties. Seeing as how Gann had written so much about Sloniger I was hoping there would be something about Gann in the book also, but Gann is only mentioned a few times in passing which was a big disappointment to me. It would have been as interesting to hear Sloniger talk about Gann as it was to hear Gann talk about Sloniger. Alas, it was not to be. Other than that the book is very well done, interesting, reads fast and has lots of pictures. If you want to know more about "Old Number One" this is the book. If you want to hear about his adventures with Ernie Gann you will be diappointed.

Book Description
Given the tensions and demands of medicine, highly successful physicians and surgeons rarely achieve equal success as prose writers. It is truly extraordinary that a major, international pioneer in the controversial field of transplant surgery should have written a spellbinding, and heart-wrenching, autobiography.
Thomas Starzl grew up in LeMars, Iowa, the son of a newspaper publisher and a nurse. His father also wrote science fiction and was acquainted with the writer Ray Bradbury. Starzl left the family business to enter Northwestern University Medical School where he earned both and M.D. and a PhD. While he was a student, and later during his surgical internship at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, he began the series of animal experiments that led eventually to the world’s first transplantation of the human liver in 1963.
Throughout his career, first at the University of Colorado and then at the University of Pittsburgh, he has aroused both worldwide admiration and controversy. His technical innovations and medical genius have revolutionized the field, but Starzl has not hesitated to address the moral and ethical issues raised by transplantation. In this book he clearly states his position on many hotly debated issues including brain death, randomized trials for experimental drugs, the costs of transplant operations, and the system for selecting organ recipients from among scores of desperately ill patients.
There are many heroes in the story of transplantation, and many “puzzle people,” the patients who, as one journalist suggested, might one day be made entirely of various transplanted parts. They are old and young, obscure and world famous. Some have been taken into the hearts of America, like Stormie Jones, the brave and beautiful child from Texas. Every patient who receives someone else’s organ - and Starzl remembers each one - is a puzzle. “It was not just the acquisition of a new part,” he writes. “The rest of the body had to change in many ways before the gift could be accepted. It was necessary for the mind to see the world in a different way.” The surgeons and physicians who pioneered transplantation were also changed: they too became puzzle people. “Some were corroded or destroyed by the experience, some were sublimated, and none remained the same.”
Customer Reviews:
Interesting personal account of recent surgical history.......2001-03-11
This book, by transplantation pioneer Dr. Thomas Starzl, is an easy read, a wonderfully inspiring story, and an interesting history of modern surgical medicine. I was compelled to write the review because of several reviews that disparage Dr. Starzl and this book.
The book is an inspirational story of a young mid-westerner, with no connections or wealth to help him in his journey, who innovated, struggled, competed, succeeded, and eventually became THE transplant surgeon in the world. The reason Pittsburgh is a transplant mecca is that Dr. Starzl is there.
Now, certainly Dr. Starzl's personality has a reputation that casts him in a negative light - I don't know the man, but I suspect that great succeess also breeds great resentments. Whatever his failings are, his contributions are beyond dispute.
Dr. Starzl's ability as a surgeon has also been questioned. Again, I have never operated with him, but the success of his transplant program speaks for itself. Also, if his only contribution was to innovate and educate a generation of transplant surgeons, then that by itself would be a fine legacy.
Finally, some reviews bash the book, so here goes my actual book review:
The book is an extremely personal account, with all the beauty and failings that are an inherent part of such a personal endeavor. Yes, he settles old scores. Yes, he portrays himself as the greatest man on earth. Yes he does not dwell on important social and ethical issues that confront modern surgery. However, these "problems" with the book are also what makes this book such a wonderful read - it is really like a conversation with a great man. He lets you in on his most secret fears (he hates operating), his most painful memories (his father's health and death, his failed family life, his second wife's history of physical abuse), his greatest triumphs (successful liver transplantations), his greatest failures (failed surgeries, inability to get along with colleagues and superiors in academia, his family/children). This is such a personal account that any other perspective on it completely misses the point. Dr. Starzl pours his heart out, which is what makes this book so interesting.
I've recently read the autobiography of Francis Moore, the great chair of Surgery at Harvard. It is such a boring book ! It offers nothing personal, nothing intimate, just a dry listing of accomplishments and people who were involved in them. One learns more about Dr. Moore from Dr. Starzl's book than from his own autobiography.
In conclusion, this is a very captivating account of a personal journey. For all his failings, Dr. Starzl is not afraid to reveal himself, and the result is a compelling and inspirational book that most readers will thoroughly enjoy.
Man with a heart, a real heart........2000-12-28
Dr. Starzl saves lifes not only with his skills, but with a real heart. A genuine human being.
Compelling at times.......1999-03-31
The author disparages several people in this book, including those who are not alive to defend themselves. This reflects more negatively on the author than on the persons he criticizes. Nonetheless, the book is compelling at times, particularly where the author talks about the patients he has helped, or those he has tried to help but who did not survive. The author was and is clearly a major figure in a field which has done much to prolong and improve the lives of many people. If the book accomplishes nothing else, hopefully it will encourage its readers to provide for the donation of their organs after death, or those of their loved ones.
I am a transplant recipient and need this book.......1998-05-30
Dr Starzl wrote an excellent book of the history of organ transplantation. Without his work in the late 50's many more people would have died. To me he is the real hero. Anyone who can give it a bad review does not live it everyday like my wife and I do. I wish I found it sooner. many thanks Dr. Starzl
An Egomaniac's Puff Piece.......1998-03-17
This has to be one of the most poorly written books I've ever read. There were frequent references to trivial incidents in the author's life (e.g. a surprise 50th birthday party), but there was no overarching sense of the major accomplishments and setbacks in transplant science during the author's illustrious career. By the end of the book, I was left with no sense of the next medical frontiers in transplantation, or the ethical dilemmas they would engender. Starzl would have done far better to coauthor with a journalist, the better to highlight crucial issues and establish context.
Attacks on old professional enemies and odd turns of phrase about people's ethnic backgrounds were also off-putting. Knowing that Starzl can hold a grudge for decades made me take his chracterizations of even his friends with a few kilograms of salt.
Starzl may have been a brilliant surgeon, but this book reads more like a personal indulgence meant for a vanity press. A pity that this book isn't the gripping behind-the-scenes tour of the politics and techniques of transplant it was meant to be.

Book Description
Reelected because "he kept us out of war," President Wilson went to war "to make the world safe for democracy." A man of Calvinist fervor, intellectual conceit, obstinacy and naivete, he ultimately assisted British imperialism, French chauvinism and Japanese nationalism. If a single person would need to be blamed for the human sufferings in the twentieth century, Wilson would probably top the list. This is his story.
Customer Reviews:
A good biography.......2004-05-16
I must say the editorial review above is a little ridiculous. Wilson was a visionary, a strong President, and world leader. Visit his birthplace and museum in Staunton, Virginia, and learn about him. Read this book and learn about him. He is not respected by many in his own party today. White's biography, though not perfect, is an enlightening study of a complex man and mind.
