The book of ceramics.......2007-04-03

Introductions to ceramics by Kingery is the bible for ceramists. This book is more focused on the ceramic basic science and, apparently, it is a poor book for applications. However, Kyngery et al. teaches us the basic science we all need to know to be able to work on ceramics. It is difficult to work on ceramics if the basic knowledge taught by this book is unknown.

Ages like fine wine!.......2005-10-27

Having received a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, I have read most, if not all, of the required reading at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This book is one of a few that remain on my bookshelf and that I continually refer to.

The beauty of this book is that despite its age (published 1976), it remains relevant and represents a rare classic. Even though the price tag is hefty, it is well worth the investment. It is hugely comprehensive and well written.

This is a must-have for anyone in the Materials field.

Better than stock.......2005-08-11

This is one of classic textbooks in materials science courses throughout the US. Used and taught in ceramics classes at both the undergrad and grad level, it covers all the major topics in the field: thermodynamics, crystal structures and defects, different properties of ceramics such as superconduction, piezoelectricity, ferromagnetism, etc... Each chapter includes a few homework problems that can be worked out by hand.

The book is also better than stock; its sale price is always going up.

The Ceramics Bible.......2003-07-28

This is a tour-de-force textbook that covers the fundamental science behind ceramics and glass. And to the extent that the same energy equations (for kinetics, thermodynamics, stress and strain, defects, light transmission, grain boundaries, etc) apply to other inorganic materials, this book is an understandable reference for them too. It was the bible at MIT for Ceramics Mat Sci BS and MS students. Well indexed, a usable teaching and reference book.

An excellent reference book for undergrads in Mat Sci.......1999-12-08

This book is an excellent introduction to Ceramics. But, as an added bonus, it also comprehensively covers most of the topics in the Materials Science undergradute curriculum making it an excellent reference book.

A Great Book by Carl Sagan.......2007-07-21

The first time I read Dragons of Eden was about thirty years ago. I enjoyed the book more this time because I have a better understanding of computers and neuroanatomy. This is a great book for a student to learn the evolution of the human brain from it's reptilian origins.

A masterpiece science for the average reader.......2007-06-12

A reviewer at the "Boston Globe" asked: "How can I persuade every intellignet person to read this important and elegant book?" There are so many great lines and passages in this book that even now it is timely.

Buy the Ballantine paperback edition with the wonderful mural-like foldout showing an ape man and woman as Adam and Eve in a Garden of Eden that includes dinosaurs.

Sagan, the polimat.......2007-05-13

I really miss him. Just picture it: Carl Sagan debating the climate crisis... or the Iraqui war... Well, this book shows his caractheristic polimatic veiw of knowledge: not separated boxes and disciplines, but a way of thinking, using both, creativity and skepticism to approach nature in its most complex subject: the human self, the misteries and intricacies of our brains and the resulting mind states, wich some call "mind", Sagan and Druyan at its best.

great book.......2007-01-16

This is a fascinating read on the subject of the development of human intelligence and how our species evolved morals, etc. The book is a very good summary of information packaged for the layman but with deep and thought-provoking insights that could serve to stimulate the thinking of experts in the field. Sagan's style is very humorous and engaging.

I give this book the demotion to four stars for only one reason: it was a book very much ahead of its time, but it was published over thirty years ago and much of the research cited in it is now obsolete.

C'mon, its Carl Sagan!.......2006-11-10

I love love loved this book. Some might think its dry, but I love the way he writes, simple, but verbosive enough to make interesting. He always makes a point and backs it up, most of the book is evolution of the human brain, and proved highly insightful, and told me some stuff I never even thought of. If you love learning, defently get this book.

Did we long for those great graceful leaps and ecstatic moments of weightlessness in the shafts of sunlight of the forest roof?.......2006-03-01

This book is a timely and fortunate publishing in these days of division on the evolution vs. creationism. Only one thing. It was written almost 30 years ago by uber-genius, Carl Sagan. And boy he really covers it all in this relatively small book on such a vast subject. He vulgarises well enough for the layman to understand, although it doesn't get informationally dense at times. What did you expect? It's Carl Sagan.

The book is pretty simple. It takes us through a speculative ride through the evolution of human intelligence. Carl Sagan once said that if you want to make apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. Thankfully he doesn't start there; he picks up around the time we were but mere bacteria and works from there. He goes through all levels of monkeys and then hominids always keeping in perspective that we aren't that far away from being just apes in trees. Just a few aborted mutations and we're still flinging crap at each other in trees.

Yes he vulgarises, but not as much as I. I just love to kid. On the contrary, Carl Sagan is a poet with a doctorate in biology. Who knew that cold science could inspire such warmth of creativity? He writes of humans carrying memory from our earlier times, swinging from tree branches. Here's what he said:

"And after we returned to the savannahs and abandoned the trees, did we long for those great graceful leaps and ecstatic moments of weightlessness in the shafts of sunlight of the forest roof?"

After reading this, I had a tear in my eye, because I remembered, I remembered being a child swinging from branch to branch in trees. Bending entire cedar trees to catch the next trunk, all this 20 or 30 feet up high. Was my compulsion for tree climbing simply buried genetic memory asserting itself? Who knows, but damn does swinging from trees beat having to wake up in the morning to go to work. The good old days.

He confidently links our technological leaps as being the obvious continuance of our ape heritage. As apes living up in the branches we had certain built in fears.

One of them was falling out of the branches and cracking ones skull open on the forest floor below. This fear is built in from birth. The baby ape knows innately that falling down is certain death. Sagan connects that to dreams we all have, dreams of falling. He posits that this dream we all have is vestigial of our times as tree dwellers. That somewhere inside us, the primal fear of falling out of the tree still lingers. That this dream is a built in security system to keep us from falling out of trees while we sleep, such as we did eons ago. This primal fear manifests itself in our technology. Notice in elevators (perhaps the modern ones don't hold true, but they did back 30 years ago) that the indicator for down is red and the indicator for up is green. Red, meaning death, green, meaning the canapé of leaves. Simple coincidence? I'd agree with Sagan in saying no.

The book goes on with many other affiliations between our ancestral beings and the intelligence we have today. He then ventures further with incorporating technology into our size challenged brain and then of course, Sagan being Sagan, further speculates about AI and extra-terrestrial intelligence.

What I enjoyed from this book, being an IT specialist, is his use of the computer intelligence model to compare with human intelligence. I myself often use this comparison model. This is a model I understand well and made me understand his scientific arguments with ease. He does this throughout the book but still keeps it at an understandable level. But his naiveté about his knowledge of computers would crush him by today's techno-mayhem slowly encapsulating us, but I digress. He would have adapted expertly to today's technology anyway.

He doesn't shy away from controversy either. He even takes on abortion by detailing how the human brain becomes human when the neo-cortex is formed because it's what differentiates us from other species. So he pretty much gives his opinion on when an embryo becomes human. And then dares you to say otherwise by upgrading simple animals to the same held ethical standards on life. Pretty spiffy work and enjoyable. I just love to see genius at work, even though he accuses anything outside the scientific method as "soft" science or pseudo-science, but then again a scientist always preaches to his choir.

I give this book a mind evolving 5 outta 5. It's a must read for anyone, for any reason. Read it, thank me later.

Book Description

Dog Bites Man is a witty, tongue-in-cheek saga detailing the House-That-Jack-Built downfall of Eldon Hoagland, an innocent Columbia University professor who has become New York City's good-government mayor. The hilarious spiral begins when Hoagland, after an evening of drinking with his old Princeton roommate, staggers out of a Fifth Avenue apartment house, steps on a dog relieving itself alongside the mayor's car, and gets badly bitten. His cop-bodyguards shoot the dog and in the process terrorize Genc Serreqi -- an illegal Albanian stud who walks the dog (in addition to more intimate chores) for Sue Nation Brandberg, a former Native American beauty queen and socialite widow of a billionaire -- and he flees the scene.

The mayor's bodyguards attempt to cover up their involvement in the shooting, but "Scoop" Rice, an eager young reporter for a muckraking Manhattan weekly, investigates and exposes the canine slaying. Then extreme animal activists, aided and abetted by every other interest group with a grievance against the mayor, tie up the city (not to mention air traffic around the world) in a monumental demonstration. Also offering encouragement are the rabid, newly amalgamated daily Post-News and the state's first woman governor, Randilynn "Randy Randy" Foote, who nurses an ancient grudge against the mayor and hastens his political demise.

In Dog Bites Man, novelist James Duffy mixes it up in a lively tale of American politics in which rich movers and shakers, politically correct crusaders and scandal-hungry media types conspire to bring down a New York City mayor. All the hazards of American public life are on hilarious display here, in the freshest novel of manners and most outrageous political satire of the year.

Download Description

This is a tongue-in-cheek look at New York's upper crust, politics, and journalism, in the vein of Christopher Buckley and Tom Wolfe. Mayor Eldon Hoagland, tipsy after an evening spent with an old college pal, stumbles out of a Fifth Avenue apartment building, steps on a dog being walked and gets badly bitten. His cop bodyguards shoot the animal. They also terrify Genc Serreqi, an illegal Albanian stud who walks the dog among other more intimate chores for Sue Nation Brandberg, a former Native American beauty queen and socialite, widow of a billionaire. A Manhattan muckraking weekly assigns an ambitious young reporter, "Scoop" Rice, to investigate, and he exposes the shooting. Extreme animal activists and the newly amalgamated daily Post-News take out after the mayor. He is also under the attack from the state's first woman governor who has hated him since he failed her in a course when he was a Columbia University professor. All the hazards of modern public life are on display as Hoagland stumbles from one funny catastrophe to the next, wondering whether it's all really worth it.

City Shocked, Reader Unimpressed.......2005-04-09

Political satire is meant to both poke fun at the establishment and advance ideas or observations about the establishment's weaknesses. Here Duffy achieves these goals reasonably well, and I will admit that the book kept me interested. However there are many writing deficiencies that keep it from being a true success. Duffy does a great job illustrating how ridiculous single-issue political shenanigans can bring down a well-meaning politician, as here a New York mayor is ruined by a domino effect of ridiculous scandal-mongering after his bodyguards shoot a dog. Duffy shows how people claiming to be outraged and purporting to represent society's best interests are actually self-serving hypocrites trying to advance their own politics, with no attempt at compromise or upholding the functioning of the political entity. I'd bet Monica-gate was Duffy's inspiration here.

Unfortunately the book is brought down by poor character development and numerous plot holes. Annoyingly, the first half of the book is almost entirely character descriptions. Whenever a character is introduced, regardless of whether that person will have any impact at all on later developments, Duffy piles on several paragraphs of character traits and fictional biography. But in the end, Duffy only shows that his characters are one-dimensional stereotypes with contrived quirks that don't nearly make them as unique as Duffy surely hoped. The second half of the book is a bit better in the satire department, but Duffy's villains are absolutely ridiculous and impossible to take seriously as political threats, those being a predictable Ann Richards-like governor and a scraggly band of animal liberationists who somehow manage to create far-reaching disruptions. Given modern politics, there are so many better models for political bad guys that Duffy barely looks like he's trying. I liked the basic theme and observational focus of this novel, but weak writing and many loose ends really sap its satirical potential. [~doomsdayer520~]

How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Dog.......2002-03-07

DOG BITES MAN: CITY SHOCKED tries to do far too many things at once, and only ends up falling on its own face. Despite having a potentially amusing plot twist, the story never really takes advantage of the full promise of the premise. The writing is uninspired and the satire really lacks the titular bite. The political lampooning is far too heavy-handed to be really effective. Numerous times the narrative would actually point out the ironic or humorous elements resulting in the reader feeling as though one is being lectured at rather than being allowed to discover the satire for one's self. There was no reason for this to occur, and reading it at times felt like an insult to my intelligence.

The satire is too unfocused to be really effective. The author seems to want to take on too many matters at once, resulting in an onslaught that can only briefly touch upon a staggering array of subjects. Animal rights, journalism, New York mayoral politics (a huge subject in itself), abortion, religion, race, and immigration are just a few of the multiple topics that are discussed. Unfortunately, with such a wide variety of heavy subjects to skewer, almost none of them receive the in-depth attention needed. Too many topics are simply mentioned and then dropped, leaving the reader to wonder why the author bothered to mention them if he was only going to give such a superficial mocking.

The characters, while potentially interesting, end up being mostly bland. They do exactly what the plot requires them to do and have no sense of individuality. I understand that in satire the author will often have characters act irrationally simply for the sake of the sake of the story, but in DOG BITES MAN, the credulity was stretched way too far. People do things for no reason and events occur seemingly at random.

The author doesn't do himself many favors in the prose department either. The actual language is workmanship at best, and, at times, descends into the worst levels of pulp childishness. I normally have nothing against the more pulpy styles of writing; it's a form that has its place and can be very effective if used correctly. But in DOG BITES MAN, the prose can be almost painful. Every time a new character is introduced (and there are a lot of them who appear and disappear seemingly at random over the course of the 300+ pages) the narrative takes a long time-out while a large, annoying, and ultimately pointless character description and background is hauled out. If this were a book series, these three pages that are devoted to each character would be cut-and-pasted directly from their character outline to the exact place in the story where the aforementioned character appears.

None of the writing is done with any sort of subtlety whatsoever. It's a very short distance for a book to go from being a satire of bad pulp writing, to actually becoming bad pulp writing itself. I honestly couldn't tell if the author was mocking this form of simplistic writing or was unable to write in a more engaging style. By the end, I found it really didn't matter; I simply was unable to make myself care.

On the other hand the author demonstrates that when he puts his mind to it, the satire can work fairly well. There are several moments that are genuinely quite funny. Despite dropping the satirical ball at many key points, there is quite a lot of potential here. The characters, while remaining mostly faceless and indistinct, are fairly interesting to read about. At least, I was curious to see what they would be up to next. It's quite a quick read, and while the action may be incredibly slow moving (you'd be surprised at how long it takes for the incident referred to in the title to take place) it never becomes boring.

I was severely disappointed by DOG BITES MAN. The author apparently didn't have enough confidence in the reader's ability to pick up on basic satire and humor, therefore ended up spending far too much time explaining why aspects of the novel were funny. Nothing kills a joke faster than having it explained to death. That annoying characteristic of the novel severely tested my patience and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. While the potential was there for this to be a great and hard-hitting political satire, it rarely lived up to this. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up for in self-important speeches, which just isn't a good trade for my tastes.

Likeable failure.......2001-09-07

I was really rooting for this book. I love political satire and just reading the cover blurb, it sounded as if Duffy's novel might be the new Bonfire of the Vanities. And he does come up with a plot that has a lot of potential. The Mayor of New York is attacked by a pit bull. When his bodyguards kill the dog to protect him, our niave Mayor is thrown into an increasingly ludicrous, painfully plausible political scandal.

So, what happened? Duffy isn't a bad writer. While his prose certainly didn't shine, it didn't put me to sleep either. Unfortunately, like his Mayor, Duffy is simply too nice. Instead of following his satire through, he suddenly pulls back during the last quarter of the book. Suddenly, his characters become achingly noble and start making "profound" statements about the sorry state of modern politics and journalism. One got the feeling that one day, Duffy looked over what he had previously written and suddenly, for lack of a better term, chickened out. He had the courage to start to a true satire but apparently, not the guts to finish one.

Very Funny "Dog".......2001-04-25

A satire that works. Outrageous and worthy of Evelyn Waugh. No kidding!

bingo.......2001-04-23

A terriffic read. More than a parody of NYC post the current mayor, Man Bites Dog is a too plausible tale of fiction which has all the hallmarks of reality about urban politics today and the absence of political leadership mangnified by media run by mental midgets. This is an entertainment in the mode of Graham Greene (but the locale is not Havana but NYC). There is no message other than "wake-up".

A Fun Ride.......2005-06-28

A fun little read, this one follows the trials of a guy my age, living in my city, having much more crazy and interesting adventures than I do. Naturally, there was a lot there I could relate to (especially the "This is a Heavy Product" sticker mystery - on of my favourite quirks of Melbourne).

On the downside, I found the ending a little unsatisfying, and although there was some sense of closure, there were still plenty of questions unanswered towards the end. I don't know whether it really sets itself up for a part two, however it could make for a decent movie adaption one day.

All up, a humourous look at life in inner-city Melbourne, but I'm not sure how well it might work for those unfamiliar with the territory, as a lot of "Australian-centric" things can be.

From the supplier: The Rev Jimmy Allen has only praise for the media as it covered his family's years-long tragedy. A Southern Baptist minister, he discovered that his son Scott's wife and his two grandsons acquired HIV from a transfusion, and that his other son Skip, a gay man, was also HIV-positive. Scott, also a Southern Baptist minister, was fired from his church, and other churches would not allow the grandchildren to attend church school. The media respected Allen's wishes to postpone the story's release, and treated him professionally.

In the spots he attacks focus groups, criticizes the presence of anything but news on news pages, and warns that his newspaper will sometimes be outrageous. To some this implies an attack on the civic journalism movement and its focus on helping communities reach consensus, a movement identified with Knight-Ridder.
