Protein-Based Materials (Bioengineering of Materials)

Book Description

This book brings together three decades worth of collaborative research to address the question "What sustains life?" In part a scientific response to Schroedinger's work "What is Life?" Urry's text contains elements of memoir, history, and a solid, informative scientific core that will interest both the general reader, student, and professional researcher.

Book Description

Principles of Optics is one of the classic science books of the twentieth century, and probably the most influential book in optics published in the past forty years. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, with new material covering the CAT scan, interference with broad-band light and the so-called Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory. This edition also details scattering from inhomogeneous media and presents an account of the principles of diffraction tomography to which Emil Wolf has made a basic contribution. Several new appendices are also included. This new edition will be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in most areas of optics.

Need modernising.......2007-07-10

Yes - all classical (linear) optical concepts are in here, and yes, it's the 'bible', but it's very dated in its content, style and references, generally, and not very practical to use.

I wish Hecht - or someone like him - would re-write this classic as a more advanced version of his book.

The Bible.......2007-07-05

Amazing book. It's the bible of geometric optics. Have everything you might need.

Needs a little previous knowledge, but which book doesn't?

A Classic in the Science of Optics.......2004-09-26

I read this book in the late sixties, when some of my fellow engineers built and tested an acoustic lens for a developmental company. Born & Wolf were well-acquainted with antenna aperture theory, and were among the first to write that the human eye could resolve 5X better than aperture theory would predict. This they credited to involuntary eye movements called flicks and saccades, which when combined with the brain's ability to do signal processing, was able to produce much better resolution than would have been predicted by the diameter of the retinal rods. In many ways the book gives testimony to God's wonderful gift of vision with color, depth, clarity, and order.

Good book.......2003-03-14

It is just a rare book on physical optics based on Maxwell equations. Rarely a book states the assumptions,the validity of the equations, the principles and how the equations arrived. Certainly, it is a great book for postgraduates and researchers in physical optics not so for undergraduate students who don't want to go through all the mathematics.

A Classic.......2002-12-13

This book is a classic with all problems associated. Half of the reference quoted have been written before the WWII. Very useful if you like to quote original papers. This book cover most topics of the classical optics but hardy cover modern topics.

Customer Reviews:

great for those with very strong German.......2004-03-30

If you are reading this review, then you are thinking of buying a copy of a challenging, controversial, shocking, surreal, sacriligeous, disturbing and excellent novel that put Germany back on the literary map when it was published in 1958 and won its author almost instant world fame and a Nobel Prize for literature in 2000.

A warning before I go on: Grass won fame because of his complex writing style and content, which even native German speakers find challenging. Unless you have very strong German reading skills, I would recommend looking for a translation. Also, if you are easily offended, especially concerning religion (Catholicism) or sex, this book is not for you.

For those with strong German looking for a great post-WWII German literary work, this is a must-read.

Oskar Matzerath, an artist of sorts, writes his memoirs while living in an insane asylum, creating a novel that defies all labels and categories, but has been called "obscene," "burlesque," "surreal," "pornographic," and "magical realist." Through the eyes of the protagonist and his home city of Danzig, Grass lets us observe the culture and history of the "Dritte Reich." The novel is divided into three "books," which correspond to divisions of German history: pre-WWII, WWII, and post-WWII. Oskar, the observer, is a "hellhoeriger" infant whose intellectual development is complete at birth and only needs time to show. When he turns three, he recieves a tin drum, which he uses to attack, criticise, teach, and express himself. On his third birthday, he also decides to stop his physical growth, and continues to live as a paradox: to the outward world, he remains a somewhat "slow" three-year-old, but in fact he is able, from his "childish" perspective, to see through the shallow, petty lives of the adults around him.

The book is written from an intentionally amoral perspective, leaving the reader to struggle with the implications of the events portrayed in remarkable prose. Through Oskar, Grass critiques, speaks of tragedy and violence with equally brutal honesty. He lets no-one off the hook. Die Blechtrommel suggests more than shows the link between the apathy, greed, immorality, and silence of ordinary "Kleinbuerger" and the rise of Nazi Germany. Even the narrator is shown with all his moral and physical defects, which are many and large. That he fails to win our sympathy or trust is not due to the author's lack of ability; Grass alienates us from Oskar intentionally, denies us an emotional identification with his narrator, startles and provokes us, and challenges us to think more deeply and critically than mere pathos would allow.

Book Description

The key to understanding the complex works of Germany's leading writer, Günther Grass, is found in his creative use of language. This book is the first comprehensive, scientific analysis based on a cognitive theory of metaphor of Grass' statements in Die Blechtrommel. Moreover, the resulting data gleaned from the metaphoric meanings—depicted in graphs—offer an important insight into Grass' way of thinking, thereby linking the vast number of interpretations contained in Grass research. This book presents metaphoric analysis as a novel approach to text interpretation and language study.
