Customer Reviews:

Excellent, well-documented story of exploration & mapping........1998-10-01

A narrative that will appeal to those interested in western US history, natural science, geography, and exploration. Features excellent word portraits of the four survey groups, their leaders and key members, and descriptions of the conditions, methods, equipment and problems encountered. Includes a selection of contemporary photographs. The only negative: The several maps included are too small and require use of magnifying glass to read the fine print.

Book Description

Essential for students, science and medical graduates who want to understand the basic science of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), this book describes the physics, chemistry, technology and overview of the clinical uses behind the science of PET and the imaging techniques it uses. In recent years, PET has moved from high-end research imaging tool used by the highly specialized to an essential component of clinical evaluation in the clinic, especially in cancer management. Previously being the realm of scientists, this book explains PET instrumentation, radiochemistry, PET data acquisition and image formation, integration of structural and functional images, radiation dosimetry and protection, and applications in dedicated areas such as drug development, oncology, and gene expression imaging. The technologist, the science, engineering or chemistry graduate seeking further detailed information about PET, or the medical advanced trainee wishing to gain insight into the basic science of PET will find this book invaluable.

This book is primarily repackaged content from the Basic Science section of the 'big' Valk book on PET. It contains new, completely revised and unchanged chapters covering the "basic sciences" section of the main book - total 18 chapters:

2 new (chapters 1, 16)
8 completely revised (chapters 4, 5, 8, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18)
3 minor corrections (chapters 2, 6, 11)
5 unchanged (chapters 3, 7, 9, 10, 12)

Book Description

The book reviews recent developments in the field of deep inelastic electron-proton reactions at high momentum transfers. These studies have been made feasible by the high-statistics ep collision data collected by the experiments ZEUS and H1 at the HERA accelerator at DESY. The standard model framework for describing deep inelastic scattering and scenarios beyond the standard model, as well as the experimental situation, is discussed, and the experimental results are collected and confronted with the theoretical predictions.

Gay for Physics.......2006-03-29

I found the character development to be the tome's finest quality and the randomly sprinkled double entendres left me weak in the knees. Definately the last great American/ British epic novel.

A waste of time and space.......2006-03-23

A massive letdown. And the twist ending? Pathetic! Not a scratch on his previous effort "Wet Street: Diary of a Croydon Rentboy."

Stunning. A work of rare genius........2001-12-13

Witty, touching, fiendishly plotted and tightly constructed. Far better than the movie and the television mini-series. Probably the most important work of the last thirty years.

Book Description

Computational Atomic Physics deals with computational methods for calculating electron (and positron) scattering from atoms and ions, including elastic scattering, excitation, and ionization processes. Each chapter is divided into abstract, theory, computer program with sample input and output, summary, suggested problems, and references. An MS-DOS diskette is included, which holds 11 programs covering the features of each chapter and therefore contributing to a deeper understanding of the field. Thus the book provides a unique practical application of advanced quantum mechanics.

Book Description

In the 1890s one phrase above all stood as shorthand for the various controversies over gender that swirled throughout the period: "the New Woman." In New Woman fiction, progressive writers such as Sarah Grand, George Egerton, and Ella D'Arcy gave imaginative life to the plight of modern women - and reactionaries such as Grant Allen attempted to put women back in their place. In all the leading journals of the day these and other writers argued their cases in essays, letters, and reviews as well as in fiction. This anthology brings together for the first time a representative selection of the most important, interesting, and influential of New Women writings.

Customer Reviews:

Good textbook.......2001-05-16

I bought this book for a class on Victorian Literature, so I wasn't sure how enjoyable it would be. The book contains short stories by various New Woman writers and a play about the New Woman, but I enjoyed the articles of the time more. The editors included both sides of the arguement, and the reader is given the opportunity to understand the women writing for more freedom and those denying them this freedom.

I probably would not have read this book by my own choice, but I did enjoy it. It is not a bad book, and it is one of the better textbooks that I have been forced to read.
