Great Service.......2007-10-08

The book was brand new and the shipping was fast.
Thank you for an easy transaction.

A great text with lots of information in a small package........2007-09-29

This text is perfect for the reader who can read graphs and diagrams. A picture is worth a thousand words and so are graphs and diagrams. This text is chock full of graphs with all the information that you may need for an undergraduate or graduate course. I love this book. Its an excellent reference.

Good book........2007-09-03

Was used for "intermolecular forces" class... Advanced, and I think, it could be useful for people who work with AFM.

Fantastic Book.......2005-07-23

If you want to learn about the title subject, this is a great intro book. And it's probably the most enjoyable theory book you are likely to own, if you purchase it.

Book Description

Quantum Optics gives a very broad coverage of basic laser-related phenomena that allow scientists and engineers to carry out research in quantum optics and laser physics. It covers the quantization of the electromagnetic field, quantum theory of coherence, atom-field interaction models, resonance fluorescence, quantum theory of damping, laser theory using both the master equation and the Langevin approach, the correlated-emission laser, input-output theory with application in nonlinear optics, quantum trajectories, atom optics, quantum non-demolition measurements and generation of non-classical vibrational states of ions in a Paul trap. These topics are presented in a unified and didactic manner. The presentation of the book is clear and pedagogical; it balances the theoretical aspects of the optical phenomena with recent relevant experiments.

Book Description

Meagher's translation of Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis captures the horror of a young girl's lonely struggle against a vast army led by her father. Under the ruse of a betrothal to Achilles, Agamemnon, leader of the Greek forces in the war with Troy, sends for his daughter Iphigenia as a sacrifice to improve the fortunes of the Greek army. Iphigenia in Tauris represents her legendary and miraculous salvation.

The Golden Pot and Other Tales: A New Translation by Ritchie Robertson (Oxford World's Classics)

ASIN: 0881335797

Book Description

A play that has, generation after generation, won fervent admirers among thoughtful readers! Five good people enact this drama. There are no villains. Gaudy passions and horrendous crimes are acknowledged as parts of life, but relegated to areas beyond our view. The five good people are engaged in a poignant discussion of what constitutes right conduct in the midst of a situation made difficult as a result of such passions and crimes. They consult both the rational mind and the intuitive heart, and they arrive at a decision that is mixed of sadness and joy, yet that which is right and inevitable. A great deal happens in this play, and what happens is both profoundly significant for all of us and deeply moving as well. Iphigenia in Tauris, which Thomas Mass termed supreme among the works of German literature, is a subtle psychological document by a poet whose language and nationality were German but whose mentality was at the very least European. Even that term suggests a false limitation, for in actuality, Goethe's mind was concerned with the universally human. This dramatic poem is likewise universally human. Its "Greekness" is a mere veil wherewith to signify that it is of no one era and of no one nation, but rather true in any time and in any place.

One of the greatest dramas I know.......2005-01-28

I can fall into line with the writer of the "product description" who did most wonderful. One exeption: instead of refering to a European spirit, Goethe's works at this time are to be related to the 'Klassik' period, strongly based on the resumption of the ancient Greek, Roman and renaissance ideas of humanity.
I follow as well the given further recommendations of other plays, stressing esp. - e.g. - Gerhard Hauptmann, and adding, e.g., Friedrich Schiller, "Intrigue and Love", and Bertold Brecht, "The Good Person of Szechwan"!
(Pls. don't imply to my comment I'd be focused too much on German drama and literature: I strongly appreciate as well e.g. plays of Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee, just to name some American writers.)

ASIN: 3110190990

Book Description

This work is the first major commentary on Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris to appear in English in more than 65 years. It offers detailed analysis of a fascinating play that scholars so far had considered mainly as a source of information about Athenian cult and viewed as a romantic adventure story with happy end. Apart from including sober assessments of textual, linguistic and metrical problems, the commentary sheds new light on the play's treatment of myth, its intricate structure, presentation of character, and place in Euripides' work. In particular it offers fresh insights into the play's relationship to the literary tradition, especially its treatment of the crimes of the Pelopids, and its presentation of the complex, ambiguous relationship of humans and gods as well as that of Greeks and barbarians. Unlike most other tragedies, Iphigenia in Tauris does not feature any villain and avoids concentrating on past crimes and their corrosive influence on the characters' present. The Taurians are not portrayed simply as savage and slow barbarians and Iphigenia, the most intelligent character, fails to transcend her limitations. Religion and cult in both myth and contemporary Athens are a mixture of traditional and invented elements and the play as a whole turns out to be an intriguing and unique experiment in Euripides' career.

More Amazonian bungling!.......2006-11-18

Yet again the folks at Amazon have bungled matters. The other "review" of this book is in fact a review of (or a puff for) the Penn series of translations of Greek tragedy, not of Euripides' "Selected Fragmentary Plays," a scholarly edition offering Greek texts, English translations, and detailed notes on several of Euripides' fragmentary plays. It should also noted that the book in question is the recently published---and long-awaited---second volume of a work whose first volume appeared in 1995. Eventually, there will be a Loeb Classical Library edition of the major fragments of Euripides, but it is unlikely to replace these volumes of Collard et al., for their very full notes will remain invaluable.

a return to classics.......2003-04-02

I went to Columbia, with the most prominent 'great books' curriculum still in existence. 25 years later, I'm finding myself re-reading and discussing many of the titles. The Penn Greek Drama series is a handsome library of new translations that give fresh takes on the classics. It's useful to have Euripides on the shelf when you return home from the recent bravura performance by Fiona Shaw as Medea--it settled an argument too on how it 'originally' ended.

Book Description

Iphigenia in Tauris tells the story of the princess Iphigenia who was sacrificed by her father Agamemnon to expedite his campaign against Troy but was rescued by the goddess Artemis and transported to the land of the Taurians. There she herself must perform human sacrifices as a priestess of Artemis in the local cult. Troy has now been sacked, and Agamemnon murdered by his wife and avenged by his son Orestes. With his mother's blood on his hands, Orestes is guided by Apollo to seek purification through bringing the image of the Tauric Artemis to Greece, and so is reunited with his sister. The drama centers on Iphigenia's near-sacrifice at Orestes' hands, their recognition in the nick of time, and their ingenious and thrilling escape to bring the cult of Artemis to Halae and Brauron near Athens.

IPHIGENIA (singing) The Atreidae are no more; Extinct their sceptre's golden light; My father's house from its proud height Is fallen: its ruins I deplore. Who of her kings at Argos holds his reign, Her kings once bless'd? But Sorrow's train Rolls on impetuous for the rapid steeds .

Euripides solves the mystery of Iphigenia after Aulis.......2002-10-01

At the end of "Iphigenia at Aulius," when the virgin daughter of Agamemnon is about to sacrificed offstage to appease the goddess Artemis, as the fatal blow is struck the young girl disappears and a stage appears in its place. Thus, at the last minute, Euripides refrains from suggesting a goddess demanded a human sacrifice. But what happened to the young girl? The dramatist provides his answer in "Iphigenia in Tauris" Artemis saved Iphigenia and brought her to the temple of the goddess in Tauris (which is in Thrace, although others take this to mean the Crimea). Meanwhile, her brother Orestes, still trying to appease the Furies for his crime of matricide, is ordered by the god Apollo to bring the statue of Artemis from Tauris to Athens. However, the Taurians have the quaint habit of sacrificing strangers to the goddess (so much for the goddess disdaining human sacrifice). Once again, Euripides is showing his disdain for Apollo; at first consideration you might think Apollo is setting up the reconciliation of brother and sister, but since it is up to the goddess Athena to help the pair, and Orestes's friend Pylades, to escape, the clearly implication is that Apollo wants Orestes dead.

"Iphigenia in Taurus" ("Iphigeneia en Taurois," which is also translated as "Iphigenia among the Taurians") is really more of a tragicomedy than a traditional Greek tragedy. Basically it consists of a key scene of recognition ("anagnorisis") and a clever escape by the main characters. The recognition scene between Orestes and Iphigenia is well done, and so atypical in that there is joy in the "anagnorisis" rather than pain or death (cf. "Oedipus the King"). "Iphigenia in Tauris" takes place after the Orestia trilogy by Aeschylus (Athena refers to the events of the final play), and one of the more interesting elements of this play is the idea that Orestes had been hallucinating when he was seeing the Furies pursuing him. This is a rather rational explanation for his behavior following the murder of Clytemnestra and Aegithus.

I was rather surprised to discover that Euripides wrote "Iphigenia in Tauris" in 413 BC, which was years before "Iphigenia at Aulis" was first performed in 406. I had naturally assumed that Euripides was following the character's chronology, but apparently this is not the case. My preference has always been for the latter play, but this is based on my interest in how Euripides foreshadows the conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles that serves as the opening conflict of Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad." This also speaks to the fact that to successfully teach and/or really appreciate this play, you simply have to understand the entire background of the characters, both in terms of "Iphigenia at Aulis" and "The Orestia." Certainly this can be done in the classroom through summaries of these plays, but it most assuredly has to be done.
