Very pleased reader........2007-09-01
This book was printed in 1942 by the American Technical Society. The author is very knowledgeable on diesel engines and explains the engines in a easy to read manor. The illustrations are well presented and titled. My only wish is that there were more detail technical information about each engine however I can understand the limitations he had to work with.

Fun for far beyond the age recommendations!.......2007-03-13
My daughter noticed the spine of this book at a thrift store and knew right away it was a Baby Einstein book. She is completely taken with anything Baby Einstein, although I am more of a sceptic, and sort of leary of the whole "super-baby" culture I think it promotes. However, this book is just plain fun. It has a little mirror on every page, with suggestions about funny faces that characters are making and that you can try to make too. It seemed odd that it was said to be meant for age 0-9 months. I think 9 months is about the age when you really get started with enjoying books, although I know that is not the politically correct way to think right now! Mirrors are fun for all ages, and 2 is a great age to talk about facial expressions and feelings by using the mirrors. I thought the mirrors were well made and the book in general well designed.
Pretty good.......2007-01-09
Our son likes this book and he's 4 months old. However, it's not his favorite and we really have to put it in his face for him to even notice it, so I can't give it 5 stars.
Good.......2006-08-18
Book is good and of course, my baby loves the mirrors. Cute illustrations.
Its okay.......2006-07-02
The mirrors are okay, not the greatest but they work and serve their purpose. When reading the book to my child I do have to hold the book at an angle where he can see himself instead of the angle I would normally use to read a book.
Also, in the book the cow is male. Since the traditional definition of a cow is a female bovine, I think it would be SMARTER to have the cow refered to as a she.
But, my child loves the book.
Great book for interaction!.......2006-05-22
Someone gave me this book as a shower gift. When my daughter was a few months old, I started dutifully reading to her every day. This book quickly became one of MY favorites because it's not as painfully dull to read as a lot of books for babies. Since at 4-5 months, she was still pretty much a blob, I'd at least entertain myself by doing all the expressions the characters make. Finally, she started expecting them, so when we'd get to the cow, she'd turn to me, so I could 'puff and blow' and make her giggle. Progress!
When she got a little older and could pick out books herself, she consistently picked this one to read. So we probably read it a few times a days for several months. We had to get a 2nd copy because she destroyed the 1st one by "reading" it so often.
As with a lot of baby toys, it got buried, pushed to the side for a while. When she was about 14 months old, we were reading another book that had Jane the monkey in it (Jane's Animal Expedition - another great book) and Claire looked at Jane and made the 'super silly face' I had made for months with this book. I quickly pulled this book back out and she made all the faces that I had done for her months before that she hadn't seen in 2-3 months. Wow - my first lesson in how much kids are absorbing and remembering when you have no idea that they are.
Now, whenever she sees a monkey, hears the word monkey or the name Jane, she makes her super silly face. It's quite a fun party trick.
Book Description
Einstein’s Mirror is a book on relativity with a difference. Following the successful format of their earlier book, The Quantum Universe, the authors blend a simple, non-mathematical account of the underlying theory of special relativity and gravitation with a description of the way these theories have been triumphantly supported by experiment. Applications of relativity in atomic and nuclear physics are wide-ranging, from satellite navigation systems, particle accelerators and nuclear power to quantum chemistry, anti-matter and black holes. The text is enlivened by a superb collection of photographs and by amusing anecdotes about the early pioneers. The closing chapter examines the influence of Einstein’s relativity on the development of science fiction. Final year students at school, general readers with an interest in science, and undergraduates in science subjects will all enjoy and benefit from this fascinating and accessible introduction to one of the most profound scientific discoveries of the twentieth century.

Customer Reviews:
Einstein's Mirror.......2002-07-06
Well written for the non-professional scientist.
Light, as it should be.......2002-06-13
I could say that this one is a book that achieves a happy, delicate balance between lightness and heaviness. But why?
In numbers: 291 pages, eleven chapters, one appendix,
a glossary and, more important, hundreds of pictures with small
comments that sometimes are biographies. This makes it "greater in quantity or quality than the average of its kind or class".
But be sure, it is not a book
only for those wanting to learn relativity and, also, it is not an
Einstein's biography: it complements both with a lot of general
information. The final chapter, "Relativity and science fiction",
though not very complete, gives to the book a special taste.
In brief: it makes a good companion to Kip Thorne's "Black holes
and time warps" (cited in the book as a suggestion
for further reading) and a very good (light, as it should be)
introduction to Einstein's life and work and its influence
in our culture.
Clear, understandable and Interesting.......1999-07-20
At last, a book that explains Einstein's Theories of Relativity in a concise, interesting and entertaining way. The book maps out the history of physics from the ancient Greeks to Richard Feynman with interesting and whimsical anecdotes about the people who try to figure out how things work. Well illustrated, even my mother will "Get It" Be sure to pick up the companion book "The Quantum Universe" I never thought Relativity could be light reading.
Book Description
An exploration of mankind's fascination with worlds beyond our own—by the bestselling author of The Physics of Star Trek
Lawrence Krauss —an international leader in physics and cosmology—examines our long and ardent romance with parallel universes, veiled dimensions, and regions of being that may extend tantalizingly beyond the limits of our perception. Krauss examines popular culture's current embrace (and frequent misunderstanding) of such topics as black holes, life in other dimensions, strings, and some of the more extraordinary new theories that propose the existence of vast extra dimensions alongside our own. BACKCOVER: “An astonishing and brilliantly written work of popular science.”
—Science a GoGo
“A brilliant, thrilling book . . . You'll have so much fun reading that you'll hardly notice you're getting a primer on contemporary physics and cosmology.”
—Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
Customer Reviews:
The prehistory of and rise -- and perhaps fall -- of string theory.......2007-04-23
According to Ed Witten of Princeton's Advanced Institute (former home to BOTH Albert Einstein AND Kurt Godel), modern string theory is a piece of 21st century science that fell early into the 20th century.
According to string apologist Brian Greene, sring theory succeeds where Einstein himself failed...in uniting nature's fundamental forces to form a complete explanation of reality itself...our "Elegant Universe."
According, however, to a growing cadre of notable physicists however string theory is not even wrong by virtue of its untestability but fails to explain some astrological phenomenon and in fact retards the actions of those who would.
Krauss has been rightly praised for this book which attempts to put the modern fascination with string theory into a proper historical context. The idea that explanation of scientific phenomenon can made by recourse to higher dimensions is not new. Perched at the beginning of western thought in the Greek philosophy of Socrates/Plato, Krauss recounts "Socrates" story of the cave.
In the story of the cave, "Socrates" as related by Plato wonders what would happen to prisoners in a cave, illuminated from behind, whose only contact with each other was through their shadows. The speculation was that they would come to regard their shadows as their essences. The further speculation was that maybe we -- in looking at our manifestations of each other -- perhaps do much the same thing.
More contemporarily, Krauss talks about the nineteenth century fascination with the 4th dimension. As explained in the H.G. Wells book "Time Machine" the fouth dimension would be a means by which individuals could enter and exit seemingly locked rooms.
As recounted by Krauss, the religous considered it the purview of God. And some scientists considered it the purview of a possible explanation of reality. As fads come and go in popular culture, however, Krauss tells how this science fad fell under the excitement of new discovery.
In discussing the spectre of contemporary string theory, Krauss suggests that we may see yet the same phenomenon occur yet again. In so doing, Krauss' point is well taken.
It is perhaps the most characterizing element of science that its theories rely upon testably provable phenomenon.
Masterful Explanation of a Complex Subject to General Readers.......2007-02-20
Lawrence M. Krauss has steered a course perfectly between the Scylla of scaring the general reader off with massive amounts of math and the Charybdis of dumbing down his subject. It's not an easy book to read, but then it's not exactly an easy subject. He has a good time, but not to excess, with some of the sillier New Age and PoMo attempts at appropriating physics for one or another version of the newer superstition, but the main thrust of the book is his attempt to convey to us general readers what's going on in particle physics, insofar as this is accessible to those of us who stopped struggling somewhere in the neighborhood of differential equations.
This is, of course, a quixotic project, rather like trying to explain serious music to the profoundly deaf. It can be done, to some extent, but it's not easy to do. It's not even easy to try. I can't imagine that the tangible rewards are at all commensurate with the effort required, and Viking Press didn't really hold up their end, in my opinion. The book appears to have been neither copy edited nor proofread. VP, like not a few other publishers, has figured out that few readers demand their money back just because the book is riddled with errors. Apparently their professional ethic is simply "They can't kiss us on the mouth."
Krauss deserves better with this book, but then so do all the writers who publish books intended to inform and even, in the best sense, educate the public. Krauss knows he can't make me understand the math, but he's done the best job I can imagine of getting the ideas across without it. At every stage of the exposition, his honesty and integrity shine through; he gets it across without ever kidding (or flattering) the reader.
I intend to look up everything else of his that might be accessible. If you are interested in what's going on in modern physics but aren't an expert, check out this book. You'll be glad you did.
a guide through the pitfalls of science careers..........2006-12-30
If you pay close attention, then you can hear Lawrence Krauss cautioning you to beware of taking science as a religion. Krauss explains his own immunity to falling victim to this affliction by way of having been caught in the crossfire between the two insititutions of science and religion.
I applaud his insistence on taking the physical evidence as evidence of itself only while resisting the allure of the reported enthrallling beauty of the equations and precision in physical theory.
If the lesson comes across that it is possible to be a scientist without out being a secular religionist, then that can be realistic encouragement to future potential scientists.
Well done, sir!
A superficial view of a multi-dimensional world.......2006-10-26
After reading Brian Green's "The Elegant Universe", I wanted to learn more on the possibility of a world made of more than 4 dimensions, time included. L. Krauss seemed to offer the opportunity not only to learn more about these extra dimensions based on scientific knowledge but also to melt it with an insightful adventure into the history of human creativity which has already imagined such world. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Both the scientific and artistic parts are poor and shallow, a shame when the explanation of a multidimension world is at stake. The rhetoric has nothing of the passion and the doors-opening of Brian Green's book. Too bad.
Krauss is a physicist of many dimensions.......2006-09-01
Lawrence Krauss has a particular knack for taking the reader through a wonderful journey of discovery through science, and Hiding in the Mirror does just that. His scholarly approach is both witty and colloquial, profoundly informative without being preachy. The book begins with a lively introduction to modern-day cosmology, relativity and quantum physics, the quest for the grand unifying theory and a presentation and critique of a potential candidate: string theory. His critique is timely and well presented, and never without the humor and readability which marks Lawrence Krauss as one of the greatest science writers today. This is Krauss' best work, and an absolute joy to read.

Book Description
Babies love nothing better than making faces and looking in a mirror, and this colorful book encourages them to do both! The book's characters, including Bard, make faces that little ones can try to mimic, in the process teaching them the name of each part of their face. The result can be checked in the two mirrors that appear on every page. Baby Einstein: El concurso, un libro con espejos lets babies and toddlers have fun while learning about their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

The Plumed Serpent
ASIN: 0521294304 |
Book Description
The thirteen short stories in this volume were written between 1924 and 1928, and are set in Europe and America. Eleven were collected in The Woman Who Rode Away (1928), though ‘The Man Who Loved Islands’ appeared in the American edition only and the other two in The Lovely Lady (1933). An unpublished fragment ‘A Pure Witch’ is also included here. The stories reflect Lawrence’s experiences in New Mexico, Mexico, Italy, Germany and England in the post-war period. Many were considerably revised by Lawrence after he first wrote them; some were completely rewritten and subsequently published in different versions. The editors give composition histories and discuss publication difficulties, including Compton Mackenzie’s objections to ‘The Man Who Loved Islands’. Appendices record manuscript revisions for three stories and give complete, unpublished early versions of four. Explanatory notes elucidate literary allusions and give topographical and biographical information.
