                2 out of 5 stars horrible.......2000-08-10

                i had this book for A&P II and it was the most confusing book i have read. i could not understand it and it used more words than necessary to explain what the author was trying to say. the only thing worse than the book was the teacher that i had who tried to interpret it. the diagrams and pictures were also bad and hard to understand. there were also many mistakes in the book. not for a beginning anatomy class.

                2 out of 5 stars I am not impressed........1999-10-20

                I have not completed this book but have found numerous mistakes. If I was not already familiar with human anatomy I would be learning the wrong information. I don't feel that is fair to the person that does not have a clue about anatomy and physiology. Unless changes are made I would not use this book as a text and I will not use it as a reference.

                    4 out of 5 stars Very Theoretical but good fundamental and advanced techniques.......2007-01-31

                    The techniques described are very theoretical but are friendly to be used in Computer programs. Has a great deal of depth.

                    2 out of 5 stars This book is only useful if you already know about linear programming........2005-10-15

                    I am using this book for a linear programming course. The most flagrant problem with this book is that it is filled with typos, making reading through proofs and examples very frustrating because you're never sure what is supposed to be written. The book is also not very good at explaining concepts and leaves many steps out in the development of new ideas. If you can avoid it, do not use this book to learn linear programming.

                    3 out of 5 stars It Could be better.......2005-06-10

                    In my point of view this book has 2 related problems:

                    Problem 1. It tries to pack much information in a small space.

                    Problem 2. I dont like the author's style of asking why? and how? to the reader in the midst of the text. Maybe this is to keep the book small but it forces you to stop reading and think about the question.


                    However, I think this book is a good reference. But, certainly the authors could have made it better. Let's wait for the next edition.

                    4 out of 5 stars Strong Graduate Treatment in Linear Programming.......2004-02-05

                    I used this text while taking a graduate linear programming (LP)course on LP and network flows. I really liked the treatment. The typesetting was clear ,consistent and easily followed (not as good as Nash and Sofer's). The book also includes lots of nice side discussion on how or why the theory is the way it is. Plenty of references are offered for further study. Proofs were not rigorous. The highly mathematical reader may be disappointed by the "show proof" style used instead of a rigorous theorem-proof style. In fact, I seem to recall a time or two where the theorem came after the usage. For me, I didn't mind that, but a pure math guy would likely grind his teeth.

                    The network material was acceptable. I personally thought the text problems were not of the best quality. I would suggest a teacher supplement their own favorites outside of the book.

                    One caution is that the book is somewhat aged. I noticed a text like Nash and Sofer seems to have newer updates on the theory.

                    Overall, a great read for getting into the nitty gritty details of LP.

                    5 out of 5 stars Excellent but DENSE!!!!.......2003-12-12

                    I am currently working toward a Ph.D. in Management Science and used this book for a LP course. If you can get past the matrix algebra (which isn't too terribly difficult) you will find that this book contains more practical LP information than any other resource available. However, those looking for a "how to" book on linear programming might want to try a more elementary text first. This book is geared toward those interested in the more advanced computational aspects of LP (e.g., revised simplex method, LU decomposition, product form of the inverse, bounded variables, etc.). The chapter on sensitivity analysis is particularly well written and thorough. But beware, this book packs more info per page than I have ever seen!!!

                          5 out of 5 stars Excellent primer on optimization for Internet and Optimiz........2002-04-19

                          This is the book that defined modern routing for the internet and helped to begin much of the operations reseach area. It is a must for those interested in turning over the old paradigm with "chaos theory" and non-linear dynamic approaches.

                                Book Description

                                Network flow optimization analyzes optimization problems on networks; hence, network optimization is reflected in many application fields including transportation, telecommunication, computer networking, financial planning, logistics and supply chain management, energy systems, etc. However, to date, most network optimization problems that have been studied are static network optimization problems. But "real world networks" are time-varying in essence, and therefore any flow within a network must take a certain amount of time to traverse an arc. Moreover, the parameters of "real world networks" may change over time. Problems such as how to plan and control the transmission of flow becomes very important, because waiting at a node, or traveling along a particular arc with different speed, may allow one to catch the best timing along the path; thus, achieving the objective and changing the decision making process. It should be noted that there are a host of decision making problems in practice that should be formulated as optimization models on time-varying networks.

                                The express purpose of TIME-VARYING NETWORK OPTIMIZATION is to describe, in a unified and self-contained manner, a series of models, propositions, and algorithms developed in recent years on time-varying networks. References and discussions on relevant problems and studies that have appeared in the literature are integrated in the book. The book consists of eight chapters, in which the following problems are formulated and examined: (1) the shortest path problem, (2) minimum-spanning tree problem, (3) maximum flow problem, (4) minimum cost flow problem, (5) maximum capacity path problem, (6) quickest path problem, (7) multi-criteria problem, and (8) the generalized flow problem. The time-varying traveling salesman problem and the Chinese postman problem are presented in a chapter together with the time-varying generalized problem. While these topics will be described all within the framework of time-varying networks, our plan is to make each chapter relatively self-contained so that each can be read separately.

                                The book will be useful for researchers, practitioners, graduate students and senior undergraduates, as a unified reference and textbook on time-varying network optimization. While the book describes the structure of the algorithms, the authors also have developed the software that implements the algorithms. This software can be made available for academic study purposes upon request.

                                    Each year, the US Air Force Academy graduates nearly 1000 young men and women. To support the decision of which cadets will be classified into which career fields, we describe a linear programming formulation with appealing computational properties that enable it as the core of a decision support tool. We explore methods for measuring and balancing cadets' class standing, Air Force career field requirements, and cadets' career field preferences in the context of this model. Our computational experiments demonstrate the improvement of this method over previous classification approaches, yielding more than 10% increase in the number of cadets assigned to their top career field choice and yielding nearly a 100% reduction in the number of cadets not receiving any of their career field choices. We also explore alternative methods for measuring cadets' career field preferences and demonstrate the positive effect of the new measurement scheme on the overall classification. Because of the short running time of this model, it will serve as a flexible, real-time component of the Academy's classification process.

                                    Le Fanu is a Victorian writer who, along with Edgar A. Poe before him, invented the unity of mood and economy of means that characterizes the modern horror short story. Jack Sullivan, in Horror Literature, maintains that "Le Fanu was more revolutionary than Poe, for he began the process of dismantling the Gothic props and placing the supernatural tale in everyday settings." These quietly elegant tales include a female vampire who predates Dracula, a vicar troubled by a spectral monkey, a cruel hanging judge who gets his due and many other fine portents and hauntings.

                                    5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC STORIES.......2006-08-19

                                    These are great stories for bedtime reading. Compared to today's scary stories, these are elegant and inspired. If you have a taste for the fiction of bygone eras -- don't draw the line with today's best sellers -- you'll find a lot of magnificent writing. I'm still reading this book, and I plan to pass it around to all my pals. PBS and British Telly buffs will adore this book.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Bar none the best............2006-04-22

                                    Le fanu is the BEST writer of supernatual fiction there is...no questions!

                                    I am the biggest fan...I collect all his works...old and new when I can find them.

                                    The stories collected here are some rare ones indeed. The Haunted Baronet (from the Golden Friars) is a stunning gem of a novellete. Included in this volume are some very hard to come by edtions. And they have been reprinted exactly from the periodicals they were originally in.

                                    I am sure you will not be disappointed in this book....like me you will read it again and again. The evocative power of Le Fanu is unparalled.

                                    Until the Dover edition of Sheridan Le Fanu's stories appeared in 1964, this nineteenth-century Irish author's tales were almost impossible to find. This is a shame, since M.R. James considered Le Fanu the best of all ghost story writers (I would put M.R. James at the top of my list, and J. S. Le Fanu, second). According to Jack Sullivan in "Elegant Nightmares: The English Ghost Story from Le Fanu to Blackwood," "...Nearly all of the early twentieth-century writers in the [supernatural story] field paced and structured their narratives in the Le Fanu manner."

                                    This edition has an introduction by E.F. Bleiler who limns a brief biography of the author, and his influence on the ghost story writers who followed him. The sixteen stories in this collection range from 1837 to 1871. One is an essay presented as non-fiction, i.e. "An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House." Concerning this essay, Bleiler states, "Personally, I am inclined to accept Le Fanu's strong statement that he was not writing fiction in the guise of fact, and that he is simple reproducing what others had told him."

                                    Some of the stories are obscured by dialect, e.g. "Madame Crowl's Ghost" and parts of "The Haunted Baronet." Lines like "...twad gar ye dodder to hear him" can usually be worked out in the context of the plot and Le Fanu's stories are worth the extra effort. Quoting Jack Sullivan again, "Le Fanu's tales suggest a world in which we are unbearably alone in situations of escalating awfulness." The little maid is sleeping alone in one of Madame Crowl's chambers when the old beldame's ghost appears, "her eyes as wide as saucers, and her face like the fiend himself." Rose in "Schalken the Painter" is deserted by her guardian and minister after she begs them not to leave her alone, and she is doomed. In one of my favorite stories, "An Account of some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street," two medical students move into a house once owned by an infamous, hanging judge. They are afraid to tell each other about their supernatural encounters for fear of being mocked--at least until one of them almost dies.

                                    This book is the finest collection of Le Fanu stories ever compiled, and all ghost story connoisseurs should hasten to read it.

                                    Probably the most distinguishing characteristic of LeFanu's writing to me is that he doesn't explain why something is happening in his stories. Ghosts search through drawers, skeletons are dug up, heroes disappear, and barons die of unseen causes, and we are never told what happened. LeFanu doesn't necessarily explain the motives and occurrences of his stories and loose ends are not all tied up. At first, I was unsure about what to think; what kind of ghost story doesn't explain all the events at the end? How am I supposed to be terrified if I don't know the ultimate cause of Baron X's demise? The method of storytelling began to grow on me, though, and I now feel that a lack of resolution on every issue creates a better story. Why should the supernatural be fully explained in 20 pages? When the reader is demoted from an omniscient viewpoint to that of only an eyewitness, the tale is more compelling.

                                    My favorite stories are probably "Sir Dominick's Bargain" and "An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House," the former for its mood and atmosphere, and the latter for its minimalist telling. "The Haunted Baronet" is another excellent story, with strong attention to detail and background that help in the story-telling; it was a very satisfactory read. "The Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh" is the same story told sans background and detail, and is clearly inferior. The other stories I enjoyed based on the setting, which is 19th century Ireland, which evokes a mood much like James'. Overall, it is the sort of book that makes you wish for a warm fireplace and a stormy night.

                                    Enjoy!

                                    when it came to building a ghost story, through dialogues and occurences, noone matches Lefanu. At this, he is a master. he describes the situation before THE happening magnificently. however, when it does happen, the story is over. the horror itself seem to escape Lefanus writing style. his ghost stories are mostly not catching to a modern(living)reader. only 2 of his ghost stories are worth reading. I still recommend this book. the reason are the two stories who are not ghost stories. Carmilla, one of the very best vampire stories, built beautifully through subtle hints, psychology, and descriptions. my favourite gothic story. then it's Lefanu's masterpiece: green tea. in fact, one of the best horror stories ever written! too bad Lefanu insisted on writing so many ghost stories, instead of common horror, otherwise he might be a real master in the genre, as Carmilla and Green Tea proves
