Book Description

Reflecting the continually growing vocabulary in science, the Concise Science Dictionary has made a wealth of terms encountered in all of the scientific disciplines accessible to non-scientists and scientists alike. The New Scientist praised it as "an essential book." Now, derived from
that invaluable work, these three newly expanded dictionaries each focus on one particular branch of science.
Written in a clear and explanatory style, the entries in each provide both straightforward definitions and invaluable background information. This approach, combined with an extensive cross-referencing system, enables readers to place each entry in a broader context. Each dictionary contains
a range of tables containing essential scientific information and line drawings whenever the meaning of a word can best be conveyed by means of a diagram.
The new edition of A Concise Dictionary of Biology contains over 2,500 entries on commonly encountered terms and concepts in biology, biophysics, and biochemistry, and key terms from medicine and palaeontology. It also contains many new terms in genetics (including genetic engineering),
molecular biology, and immunology, taking into account the recent advances in these fields.
The new edition of A Concise Dictionary of Chemistry contains over 3,000 entries on commonly encountered terms and concepts in chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. It also includes many new terms which reflect recent advances in techniques, concepts, and materials.
The new edition of A Concise Dictionary of Physics contains over 2,700 entries on commonly encountered terms and concepts in physics and key terms from mathematics, astrophysics, metallurgy, electronics, and physical chemistry. It also includes many new terms encountered in the fields of
nuclear and particle physics, quantum theory, and solid-state physics.
Anyone seeking concise and accurate definitions of words encountered in biology, chemistry, or physics will find each of these dictionaries indispensable.

Customer Reviews:

one of dostoyevksy's best.......2006-12-20

this poor novel does not get the attention it deserves. it is far better than the idiot and on par with notes from underground. this is dostoyevsky's most precise response to chernyshevsky's brand of moral nihilism that was corrupting the youth of 19th century russia. and, of course, this corruption ultimately triumphed: lenin, after all, named one of his pamphlets after chernyshevky's "what is to be done."

the problem is not the philosophy of determinism itself: it is the slippery slope determinism takes into moral nihilism. i STILL hear members of my generation speaking against ethics in favor of "science" -- sadly they, like chernyshevsky's and stavrogin's mob, cannot recognize the simple "science" of social contract. thus, i suppose, the book remains somewhat relevant.

anyhow, this novel has all of the elements of a dostoyevskian masterpiece: love, death, and philosophy. read it and you wont regret it.

The Laodiceans.......2006-09-02

The four years that Dostoyevski spent in a Siberian prison for "liberal" activities during his mid-twenties indelibly influenced his later literary efforts. It can be argued that all of his major works deal, in one way or another, with the connection between criminality and the inordinate prevalence of self-will in the human character. Most of his characters, from Raskolnikov to Ivan Karamazov, display the same thought tormented traits and general lack of moral consciousness; but they have one more important trait in common: that no matter how reprehensible, they are able to be redeemed by the acceptance of Christianity, more specifically Russian Orthodoxy. Two other character types fascinated him: what he conceived to be the positively good man, Prince Myshkin of the Idiot, and what he saw as the consummate evil personage. It is in this novel that Dostoyevski wanted to examine the latter idea.

Intrigued with the literary possibilities of dualism, Dostoyevski set out to write, in 1869, the "Life of a Great Sinner", going so far as to make preliminary character sketches that would eventually result in the character of Stavrogin. But as he began work on this novel, current political events and the newspaper coverage of a sensational murder which had overtones of political conspiracty lead him to rethink this literary plans. Once again, his penchant for writing about the crimianl mind held sway. But instead of writing two novels, one philosophical, one sensational, Dostoyevski decided to combine both ideas into one novel; the result was The Devils. Any such amalgam, attempted by a less talended author, would have lead to certain disaster; but because of Dostoyevski's brilliance, his effort was at least partially successful.

It is Dostoyevski's comic brilliance and his ability to create believable characters that saves this novel and places it in the top tier of Russian literature. Although the novel seems torn with itself, in many places, resembling a book looking for a reason to exist, the author was able to create a cast of characters that hold the book together: the enigmatic Stavrogin; the quixotic Stepan Trofimovitch; Pyotr Stepanovitch, the revolutionary ring leader and perhaps the true "evil man" that Dostoyevski was attempting to describe - together with all the towns people, petty revolutionaries, intellectuals and criminals that have their role to play in the drama that unfurls.

It has always struck me as strange that Stavrogin has always been described as Dostoyevski's "evil" man and not Pyotr Stepanovitch. Stavrogin always seemed to me as neither capable of complete evil nor of good, occupying a place somewhere in the middle. It is by no coincidence that Dostoyevski twice mentions the passage from Revelations, "Write to the Angel of the Laodicean Church" (once in the originally expurgated Stavrogin's Confession chapter, and in the chapter describing Stephan Trofimovitch's last wanderings) and the implications are clear. It is much better in God's eye to be either cold or hot rather than just lukewarm, a description that best suits Stavrogin's aimlessness better than any other dramatic descriptor.

Rats with perverted minds .......2006-08-26

Dostoyevsky's possessed are not only the politically perverted minds, but also the psychic, religious or amorous possessed.
One of the main characters of this book could only express his love in a letter left after his death, having waited for more than twenty years to speak.

The most possessed characters however are the revolutionaries. Their portraits and ideas are forcefully foreboding the mass killers to come (Lenin, Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot), who turned against their own population and fellow travelers: `We will have to face thousands and thousands of (killings).'
Their policies are extremely cynical ... but not for themselves:
`There will be total obedience and total depersonalization ... Because no sooner people have a family and experience love than we begin to desire to own things. We shall kill that desire; we shall strangle every genius in infancy; everything must be reduced to the common denominator of complete equality.'
Except ... `you are placing yourself outside the system? ... Yes, because `slaves must always have rulers.'
All means justify the ends (take over complete power): volunteers prepared to assassinate anyone, arson, subversive propaganda, myths.

A very intriguing part of this book is Stavrogin's confession of a child rape. It reminds one of a very disturbing scene in London's Covent Garden's told in the author's memoirs `Winter Notes on Summer Impressions.'

This book shows also Dostoyevsky's deep pessimism: `Life is pain, life is fear, man is unhappy.' `The higher the stage of development a man reaches, the more prone he becomes to cynicism.'

This slowly progressing novel with the author's perfect sense of drama is a very disturbing read.
Highly recommended.

Talking about a revolution.......2005-05-05

In a small provincial Russian town, the curious set of inhabitants is augmented by the arrival of Peter Verkhovensky and Nicholas Stavrogin along with a small disparate group of followers. Tensions rise within the town's high society as Peter and Nicholas bring with them both revolutionary plots and uncomfortable memories of the past. The plotters too are divided - riven by conflicting egos and rivalries. Can all these tensions be resolved peacefully?

"The Devils" is an uneven and patchy work, yet I found it strangely compelling. Using the first person narrative in a kind of chatty reminiscence, Dostoyevsky succeeded in drawing me into the plot and heightening the tensions between the characters to create a claustrophobic effect: the characters' discomfort with themselves, with each other and with the state of Russia all add to the unstable mixture.

There's a lot of introspective stuff about revolutionary theory, deism, atheism and the rights and wrongs of violent protest. However, given the subject matter, all these are essential to the plot and interesting. The reader is drawn into Dostoyevsky's critique of contemporary Russia and the revolutionary theories which were used to promote change - an authoritarian view propped up by a curious theory of equality. In the mouth of the character Shigalyov, this "freedom under repression" becomes a chilling precursor of Soviet Russia.

Be careful to get an edition with an appendix containing the missing chapter omitted from the first edition in 1873, as it is important to an understanding of Nicholas Stavrogin.

The Possessed, or, Demons.......2004-08-12

Demons opens up with a brief exposition on the two decade long relationship between the reckless, impulsive poet, Stepan Trofimovich, and the woman who keeps him, the rich, aloof, forever exasperated landowner, Varvara Petrovna. Theirs is a strange relationship, but perhaps not so uncommon then as it would be now. Stepan Trofimovich's reputation lies on the creativity of his youth, now, approaching fifty, these glory days are all but behind him. He has become little more than a celebrated scholar. Varvara loves him, but is waiting for him to declare it, something he will never do. While much given to spouting romantic phrases in both French and Russian at the drop of a hat, he is a flighty, inconsistent man. He loves her very much, but prefers to reveal his feelings to the mostly nameless narrator with moans and groans about his fate.

During this long 'Not an Introduction', we are introduced, also, to the many and varied inhabitants of the small Russian town. Most of the characters - and even many of the very minor ones - are fully fleshed out, with families, backgrounds, desires, thoughts, hopes, dreams, motives. A few in particular stand out. There is Krillov, the man who is determined to end his life not through depression or melancholy, but through a choice, allowing himself to be the first man to have free-will, and thus to become God. But he is burdened with this responsibility, endlessly philosophising with himself through sleepless nights. Shatov, the bitter student, a man who wants to fight God but cannot, who tried his luck in America and failed. Karmazinov, the once-great author, losing his talent and perhaps his mind, inflated by an unjustifiable sense of self-worth. Lebyadkin, the drunken captain with the lame sister, a secret shame he never reveals. Through these characters and more we are able to ascertain the political, philosophical and economical feelings of the times, and every one becomes a fully realised, three dimensional character.

Nikolai Vsevolodovich and Pyotr Stepanovich, a son each to the two characters mentioned above, return to the town after years of being away. Stavrogin (Nikolai) is respected and feared, he carries a dark secret. Verkhovensky (Pyotor) is a mystery, and seems able to worm his way into upper society with ease. As the book develops, the two are involved in ever more intricate schemes, always hinted at and never revealed, while all about the Russians are living their lives. Tracts are written, political meetings are held, Verkhovensky and Stavrogin seemingly the masters of this game, however, in their meetings, it is uncertain which one really knows what is going on, and who is the true power.

In typical Dostoevsky fashion, all emotions are felt perhaps too well, with people moaning and crying and fainting and falling to death from shock. This romantic touch adds greatly to the drama of the story, more so as the plots thicken, intertwine, and begin to be revealed, and as the body count increases, so too does the tension. One of the last chapters, involving Verkhovensky and Krillov, is perhaps the greatest, containing such a breadth and depth of ideas about reality and God as to make one step back and reflect on what he has read. The ideas presented, all throughout the book, are lucid, coherent, and undeniably powerful. Add to this the completely realised characters, and what is left is a brilliant book that looks at the social forces of an ideological revolt under false pretenses, and just what man is prepared to do to gain power. The only negative is that the second to last chapter is a - necessary - disappointment, flatly written and seemingly tacked on, but apart from this, it is one of the greatest books I have read.

This memoir about a "boy possessed" reads like a cross between The Exorcist and David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day. Having been born into a Catholic household and eventually becoming an alter boy, Steve Kissing's childhood relationship with the Church was characterized by the usual bouts of reverence and guilt. Then one day, at the age of 11 years old, he suddenly started hallucinating and hearing a garbled voice in his head while sitting in his fifth-grade classroom. He managed to push the incident out of his mind until a few months later when the visions and voice returned during Sunday Mass. At this point, Kissing assumed it was the devil taking over his soul. After all, he was certainly a likely candidate, considering that he had recently shoplifted candy among other moral transgressions. From here the memoir takes on a hilarious and tragic storyline as we follow this poor possessed soul through his teenage years. When the devil possesses Kissing, he conjures up visions that are simultaneously bizarre and familiar—close friends suddenly look like Helen Reddy or Henry Kissinger, or even the Joker from the televisions show Batman.

All along he was afraid to tell anyone about his run-ins with Lucifer—-not even his parents knew. "I worried too that telling someone would only anger Satan and incite more trouble, sort of like telling a teacher that one of the eight graders is harassing you. It only seemed to make the bully all the more eager to catch you alone on the way home from school," he writes. "I was not about to be a Satan snitch." It would take five years of literal living hell (which he manages to describe with just the right amount of humor and heartbreak) before discvoering what in the hell was really going on. This is one of the most entertaining and twisted Catholic coming of age stories ever written. --Gail Hudson

A 'wicked' sense of humour.......2003-11-14

A very honest and funny insight into the mind of an adolescent still caught partially in a childlike, literal understanding of the world, as he progresses to the more rational world of an adult. It's fascinating to see how the author's interpretation and understanding of his affliction are influenced by his environment, in this case his Catholic faith. A true life bildungsroman with both funny and poignant moments, this book has universal appeal. What resonated with me was seeing how our childlike interpretations so significantly effect our development (and no doubt continue to do so). One is left wondering whether this particular guy's crazy interpretations of events were such a bad thing for him after all. A really enjoyable read.

Poorly written and not very interesting.......2003-11-09

I ordered this book with high extectations. I heard the author interviewed on a local radio station and read the reviews on this website. It all seemed quite positive. I ordered a copy for myself and for members of my bookclub. Unfortunately, the book really is dreadful. I returned all copies to Amazon for a refund. This is the first time I've ever done that. There are two problems with the book. First, it is poorly written. You as the reader will have to work hard to get through it. Most sentences have a strange and painful construction. There is a beginning clause followed by a comma, then another clause elaborating on the first clause, then another comma with a third clause elaborating on either the first or the second clause. Get the idea. Do you want to read a whole book like this? Worse, what could have been an interesting story comes across as dull and lifeless. Clearly the writer thinks plopping down all these abbreviated ancedotes of people and things from his life will be very entertaining. Sadly, it reads as a rambling scattershot. Order the book and you will work hard to read it while asking yourself why you are spending your time doing it

Contemporary Classic.......2003-09-01

At first you don't think young Stevie Kissing is going to win. But somehow, in the strangest of adolescent maneuverings, he does. You must read this memoir to find out how. And you will rarely stop when you begin reading. In Running with the Devil, an older, wiser Steve Kissing looks back with brilliant narrative drive to a delusional childhood. He chronicles the unruly effects of not a lapsed Catholic childhood, but one that was given to inadvertant bouts of, well, hallucinations, bad dreams, and unreliable goals. And he captures in utter poignancy and hilarity what it means to feel ostracized and clearly puzzled by a strange affliction obsessing him.

It's this juggling act of emotions that occurs with the reader and in the prose that give this memoir the brilliant edge the best creative nonfiction offers. You often don't think young Steve Kissing is going to win, but he does, and once you start in - as I said before - you are not leaving his side as a reader who shadows every page with him.

The struggle to keep one's sanity.......2003-06-21

Running From The Devil: A Memoir Of A Boy Possessed is the personal testimony of Steve Kissing, a Catholic school student who grew up during the 1970's with problematic seizures and a sure inner conviction that the Devil was striving for his soul. Instead of seeking help, Steve stayed silent out of fear, and Running From The Devil is the memorable story of his struggle to keep his sanity through hallucinations and the difficulties of growing up.

I Loved It........2003-06-21

I just finished reading Running From The Devil. I couldn't put it down. Steve writes about his experiences growing up and thinking he is possesed with the devil, in all actuality he is having seizures. This book was both sad and at the same time histerical. I can remember growing up the same era he did and doing some of dorky things that he did, but not with the demons that he experienced. I am a nurse at a seizure clinic and have heard similar stories to Steve's. I can hardly wait to share his stories/experiences with our patients and reassure them they are not the only ones who experience these weird episodes. I highy recommend this book to all who have seizures or know someone who has them. It really gives insight to what that person is experiencing.

TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN BY CONSTANCE GARNETT

Download Description

I have been studying Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch of late, and through special circumstances I know a great many facts about him now, at the time I write. I should compare him, perhaps, with some gentlemen of the past of whom legendary traditions are still perceived among us. We are told, for instance, about the Decabrist L--n, that he was always seeking for danger, that he revelled in the sensation, and that it had become a craving of his nature; that in his youth he had rushed into duels for nothing; that in Siberia he used to go to kill bears with nothing but a knife; that in the Siberian forests he liked to meet with runaway convicts, who are, I may observe in passing, more formidable than bears.

Book Description

First book in the English language covering the Netherlands insolvency law as a whole, with a focus on bankruptcy and the most important legal concepts pertaining to bankruptcy. It provides the reader with an understanding of the Netherlands Bankruptcy Act, the main source of insolvency law in the Netherlands. Concepts covered include actio pauliana, set-off, corporate liability and wrongful act. Pledges and mortgages, being the most important security rights in the Netherlands, are also discussed, as is the EU Insolvency Regulation (2000) and its impact on the Netherlands insolvency practice.
