Book Description
This completely revised second edition of the standard work has been expanded by some twenty percent to include more information on the latest developments and new apparatus. In particular, sections have been added on microplasmas and new types of spectrometers, while that on the rapidly expanding field of speciations with practical examples from life and environmental sciences have been included.
Still in one handy volume, the book covers all the important modern aspects of atomic fluorescence, emission and absorption spectroscopy as well as plasma mass spectroscopy in a readily comprehensible and practice-oriented manner. A thorough explanation of the physical, theoretical and technical basics, example applications including the concrete execution of analysis and comprehensive cross-references to the latest literature allow even newcomers easy access to the methodologies described.
Book Description
The study of the dynamics of fluids is a central theme of modern applied mathematics. It is used to model a vast range of physical phenomena and plays a vital role in science and engineering. This textbook provides a clear introduction to both the theory and application of fluid dynamics, and will be suitable for all undergraduates coming to the subject for the first time. Prerequisites are few: a basic knowledge of vector calculus, complex analysis, and simple methods for solving differential equations are all that is needed. Throughout, numerous exercises (with hints and answers) illustrate the main ideas and serve to consolidate the reader's understanding of the subject. The book's wide scope (including inviscid and viscous flows, waves in fluids, boundary layer flow, and instability in flow) and frequent references to experiments and the history of the subject, ensures that this book provides a comprehensive and absorbing introduction to the mathematical study of fluid behaviour.

Best Fluid Book Ever.......2001-06-13
This is the clearest book on fluid dynamics that I've seen. It's perfect for physics students who need a quick review of the subject. It does an amazing job of relating the math to the reality. Many of the problems make reference to research as recent as the 1980's. This book isn't the last word on anything (for example the information on instability is only the beginning), but it's an amazing place to start. As for the down sides, the math requirements in my opinion are a little steeper than the back cover implies. It pretty much assumes that you know complex variables and the residue theorem, and although it avoids the more difficult PDEs, it might help to know some things about them. And this isn't really a down side, but a lot of interesting information is tied to the problems, which may bother some readers.
Very pedagogical fluid dynamics book.......2000-09-04
This book is one of the most stimulating books on fluid mechanics that I have come across. It is very carefully written and well organized. The physics behind the phenomena are vividly explained. The subject is, however, mathematically difficult and the book should not be attempted without advanced calculus and vector analysis.
well organized but hard for freshmen.......1998-10-16
This book is well organized and full of examples, but it's will be better to explain more about the math operation and what does it means in the real world.

Book Description
Elementary vortices – those tubular swirling vortical structures with concentrated vorticity commonly observed in various kinds of turbulent flows – play key roles in turbulence dynamics (e.g. enhancement of mixing, diffusion and resistance) and characterize turbulence statistics (e.g. intermittency). Because of their dynamical importance, manipulation of elementary vortices is expected to be effective and useful in turbulence control as well as in construction of turbulence modeling. The most advanced research works on elementary vortices and related problems were presented and discussed at the IUTAM Symposium in Kyoto, Japan, 26-28 October 2004. This book contains 40 contributions presented there, the subjects of which cover vortex dynamics, coherent structures, chaotic advection and mixing, statistical properties of turbulence, rotating and stratified turbulence, instability and transition, dynamics of thin vortices, finite-time singularity, and superfluid turbulence. The book should be useful for readers of graduate and advanced levels in the field of fluid turbulence.

Customer Reviews:
A mixed Bag.......2007-09-23
Raymond Carver may have been a master short story writer, but with this collection it's apparent that he wasn't quite there yet. Every story is well written, and there are flashes of brilliance, but for every good story here there is a corresponding dull one. Standouts include Neigbours; Bicycles, Muscles, Cigarettes; Put Yourself In My Shoes; They're Not Your Husband; Are You a Doctor? and the title story.
On the whole, I do really what Raymond Carver does with short stories. He can be fairly accused of writing stories in which "nothing happens" but that's the point really. The reader is supposed to dig in and get to the heart of the matter. For me, however, a lot of the stories just weren't worth the effort to do so. Finally, I love his stripped down language. There aren't many writers who say so much with so little.
Recommended for any Raymond Carver or Short Story afficianado.
An Average Collection.......2007-05-30
I had borrowed almost all of the available Carver short story collections but the sparse style does gets old fairly quickly - I enjoyed a few stories in "Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?" but can't quite give a full hearted recommendation. This is an average collection with some nice stories, but can be safely given a miss.
assortment of harsh, condensed, short stories.......2003-07-30
There is something very satisfying about short stories, especially if you are short of time; here you still manage to feel some sort of "accomplishment" at having read a "piece of life" embodied in a story. Raymond Carver's short stories are a special treat in this regard. I first came by Raymond Carver's name while watching the movie "Short cuts". This is why I was so intrigued to read this book, his first collection of short stories.
"Will you please be quiet, please?" is an assortment of harsh, condensed, short stories. The stories are brief and "to the point". Carver captures the human experience at a certain important moment in time. This moment can seem trivial to an outside observer, but this is a flash of revelation, a private understanding that comes after a seemingly regular event. This is a moment of small change, recognition --- something will not remain as it was before.
The story "Fat" can be a good example for Carver's style. "Fat" opens the book and is one of my favorite stories in this collection. This is an account of a rather trivial, every day encounter of a waitress with a fat client. However, this encounter manages to shake something inside her and force her to feel something of his "Fat experience". Somehow this makes her think about relationships and people and brings her to a certain realization as to her personal interactions.
Carver does not glorify human beings. His description is not tender and he does not write with mercy. This is true regarding instants of ugliness and on the other hand - quick moments of great love and compassion - just as during one day you can have mixed feelings and a great moment of love can come from nowhere and just pass by, sometimes even unnoticed. Somehow Carver manages to grasp the stream of thoughts, feelings and events that led to the after come feeling.
Carver's descriptions give us glimpses of life - ordinary, as it happens in real. No drama around it. Carver talks about father son relationship, husband and wife or two lovers. Most of his stories deal with difficult moments, and center around simple, ordinary people, struggling to make a life to themselves - Like Al, the main character in "Jerry and Molly and Sam". Al feels his life is falling apart. His work is not secure any more, he has an affair and is a little terrified by it, he just rented a new apartment... and on top of it there's this new dog his sister in law brought the kids. As an attempt to put some order in his personal chaos Al decides he has to get rid of the dog - an act that puts him into an emotional turmoil of facing his inner self.
These stories are "short cuts" of life, which can be ugly and beautiful but is never dull.
One of the books I love.......2001-11-25
I first bought and read this collection while an undergrad
at the University of Oklahoma. Mr. Carver wasn't then such a
recognized master of the short story. Most striking was how pain-
ful the stories were to read, and this was without the life experience one has gained since the late 1970's.
Raymomd Carver already wrote the stories I was aspiring to; there
was nothing left but to obtain his wonderful story collections, and re-read them every five years or so. The stories become more harrowing the older one gets. I just can't be objective about this collection in particular, as it's been such a touchstone for me.
sad, moving, excellent.......2001-08-16
These are short, simple stories about people without any money, looks or otherwise striking features; that is to say, it`s as real as it gets. The small losses and gains that make up the sum of "Will you Please..." probably made me a better human being, since it takes you away from literature (the ultimate ivory tower) and puts you back among people as they are. A lot of tears, "cigarets" and deadpan irony on this volume, which is far from Carver`s best but great anyway. I particularly ove "They're not your Husband", "Why, Honey?" and "Sixty Acres".

Excellent as a textbook.......2006-11-22
I use this book in teaching a Bankruptcy class to California paralegal students. It is an excellent introduction to the bankruptcy system, and includes discussions of both consumer and business bankruptcies (with a definite emphasis on the consumer side). I expecially appreciate the thorough treatment of the BAPA (laws that changed in October 2005).
