Frog Dissection Manual (Johns Hopkins Dissection Series)

Book Description

This comprehensive and in-depth book is an essential reference handbook for students looking to extend their analytical skills and interest in coastal morphodynamics. Fully illustrated throughout, each chapter contains boxed sections designed to aid further study by providing either a further analysis or treatment of a particular issue, an interesting application of a principle just discussed in the body of the text, or a virtual field trip.

Book Description

Coastal Geomorphology, Second Edition is a comprehensive and systematic introduction to this subject and demonstrates the dynamic nature of coastal landforms, providing a background for analytical planning and management strategies in coastal areas that are subject to continuing changes.

Book Description

Gives a comprehensive treatment of coastal evolution and dynamics, providing background for the study of coastal landforms and how and why they are changing, with up to date information, world-wide coverage of examples, numerous illustrations and extensive references to the scientific literature.

It gives a systematic approach to the subject of coastal geomorphology, dealing with the shaping of landforms, the changing levels of land and sea, the array of coastal processes that have influenced the shaping of landforms and the changes that are taking place on them. It analyses the causes of erosion and accretion on sectors of the coastline and examines the factors that have contributed to these, preparing the way for management strategies. The book includes discussions on the effects that human activities have had on coasts and their continuing contribution to coastal landform changes.

great for university students.......2007-10-07

I find this book an excellent reference book for the study of coastal geomorphology. We have just finished a long coastal assignment and this was a major reference for my essay. It is easy to read and understand and if you live near a coast as we do in New Zealand, you can read and study at the same time. A great book. Thanks for your prompt delivery, that was my most hoped for wish, that it would get hear on time. It Did.

coastal geomorphology: an introduction.......2002-02-01

A wonderful explanation of current thinking on coastal morphology.
A must for all researchers and students, and I would suggest that more Uni Professors used it.

Book Description

Designed to teach fundamental ideas as opposed to physics by formula. The primary goal is to expose basic properties of the atom, focusing on the description of experiments and data, both historical and current, used to establish physics principles. Contains 250 carefully worked single concept problems which demonstrate the thinking behind the answer and yield numerically significant results. Prerequisites include some exposure to classical mechanics and electromagnetism.

Some good, but some bad too.......2006-05-15

The good is that this book does not overwhelm you with flashy pictures like a lot of Physics books do. However, the book loses 2 stars for too many typos. It seemed like every week I would get an email from my professor with corrections to the problems. I'm docking it another star for some sections which I think could have been explained better. The chapter on semiconducters was not very englightening. I had to read another book before I felt comfortable with the material.

If they ever make another edition of this book, I'm sure it will be great, but this one is just a little too rough around the edges.

You can learn modern physics.......2006-04-04

This is really a good book. You can learn the fundamentals of modern physics comfortably. The discussions are well-presented and well-organized. The worked-out problems within chapters are especially useful, so allot ample time to study them. When I was using this book, there were a few typos, but I am sure the author must have corrected them. Some of the end-of-chapter problems may sound weird, they need some revision. Also, try not to use a calculator while solving the in-chapter problems, you can really improve your math skills.

great book.......2005-11-13

i'm just on page 15 and already love the book! clear explanations and very well-organized. it's worth the money.

solid book.......2005-09-06

Since modern physics is hardly modern anymore, most of the important topics were developed 100 years ago, so it doesn't matter that the book is 11 years old. the best part is the lack of bright colors, useless notes on the side of the page, confusing layouts- all of which add unnecessary cost to already expensive textbooks. Furthermore, if you compare to other books, the problems are generally better, with similar treatment of main concepts.
The book does suffer from the common problem of the first two chapters being mostly an historical review of concepts from 100 level physics.

One of the best modern physics books on market!.......2002-02-03

This book is fantastic for educationally scoping out modern
physics! Along with the intro. physics (Halliday,Resnick,Walker)
book it is my other favorite physics book. All the topics in modern physics are covered by it and covered well. The graphics, problems, and examples are excellent and appropriate to the degree of difficultly. A good introductory book! A wonderful reference book that I'm still using!. If your looking for a way to learn and educate about modern topics and physics then get this book!

Book Description

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Spin Resonance was a physics phenomenon discovered 52 years ago. Since then, the applications of this discovery to spectroscopy technology has advanced and spread into all areas of the Natural and Life sciences. Yet the techniques remain relatively new still to the Asia-Pacific regions. The Symposium of EPR/ESR (20-24 January 1997, Hong Kong) is the first of its kind to be held in Asia and aims to bring the state-of-the-art knowledge of EPR to end-users of this technology in this region, as well as knowledge on the related areas of Acoustic Paramagnetic Resonances (APR), Zero-field EPR (ZPR), Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR), Optically Detected Magnetic Resonances (ODMR), and Electron Spin Echo Modulation (ESEM). These proceedings will contain the invited papers of over 10 international speakers as well as contributed papers. It will be a useful reference source for EPR spectroscopists, students and researchers interested in the applications of EPR, scientific officers and/or managers from relevant industries, and medical staff and health officers from hospitals.

Solid Literary Analysis.......2001-05-03

Yes, I'm actually writing a review for this book, Minimalism and the Short story, on the off chance that someone stumbles across this entry. First, I'll begin with some general praise. This book is worth buying, borrowing, reading at your local library, etc., if for no other reason than the fact that this book, I believe, is the only academic, professional, literary study of minimalism, a much maligned and completely misunderstood movement (even describing it as a movement is kind of troublesome) that swept through literature in the late 70s and on into the early 80s. Yes, you can probably find volumes on Carver, but there's surprisingly little out there (aside from interviews/articles in literary magazines) on Robison and Hempel. A serious examination of Robison and Hempel has been long overdue.

Professor Hallett's book provides nice background on literary minimalism's roots. In addition, Hallett does a nice job delineating minimalism from an overall economy of language (i.e. minimalism is not simply spare writing--a confusion too many book reviewers are guilty of spreading). Also, Hallett makes a decent comparison between the minimalists and the post-modernists, aruguing (rightly) that the two sides aren't so far apart.

Sure, I have some small concerns with this book. The background material on minimalism itself is more useful than Hallett's discussion of the authors themselves. If you're looking for a thorough examination of Carver, Robison, and Hempel, you're probably best off searching elsewhere. These three writers are sort of glossed over, no single story by any of them receives much treatment, and thus the reader is left with the feeling that he/she is reading synopsis rather than analysis. Of the three writers examined, Hempel probably receives the most (and best) attention. I'm not sure I've been further enlightened about Carver and Robison after reading this book.

Still, for those who want an introductory splash into a frequently misunderstood fictional movement, you should begin here.
