Product Description

The scope of the Conference was to address and discuss the new developments in physics, which have been opened by the important progress in laser technology, both in the direction of ultrahigh intensities and of ultrashort pulse generation. Such developments have not only concerned and given impulse to experimental physics, but they have also triggered the theoretical exploration of completely new laser-matter interaction regimes, which are full of exciting perspectives. The irradiation of high density matter by intense laser pulses (presently on the order of a petawatt) produces a rich mixture of energetic radiation and particles: soft and hard X-rays, gamma rays, electrons, protons, heavy ions, and neutrons. Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission reactions can be effectively driven by means of strong laser pulses. Pressures as high as those existing inside the massive planets can be produced in laboratory experiments. Topics include: atomic and molecular dynamics in strong fields, high harmonic generation, coherent X-ray radiation, nonlinear plasma dynamics and relativistic optics, laser-based electron and ion acceleration, inertial confinement fusion and fast ignition, laboratory astrophysics, high energy astrophysics and cosmology, as well as applications of superstrong pulses to high energy physics.

Pretty good.......2006-12-22

I enjoyed this, but can't say I learned a lot that I didn't already know from other readings. Still, its interesting subject matter about an interesting person. If you're interested in blow-by-blow of the battles, this isn't the book for you.

Historical Background.......2005-05-26

Where can I find a historical Background of this book?

Mighty Stonewall........2004-01-08

This book has come in for some criticism from other reviewers and many of their points are well taken. One has to remember however that this book was first published in 1954, a time when the cult of the lost cause was still very much alive and kicking. This is a prime example of civil war literature of that era. Davis actually shows a good deal of courage in that he did criticize the mighty Stonewall at all. No, this book does not compare favorably with some of the civil war studies that are available today, but it still has a place. In fact this would be an excellent book for someone with no background in civil war studies. For someone who has never heard of A.P. Hill or Richard Ewell this book offers an excellent introduction to the campaigns in Virginia.

Davis has a pleasant writing style, which makes this an easy book to read. He sprinkles his narrative with amusing antidotes which add greatly to the book and he does not get bogged down in battle the battle details that derail so many books of this sort. The map of the valley campaign does allow the reader to get an idea of the relation of the significant points to each other but a few more maps sprinkled here and there would be of a great deal of help. Jackson of course wore his religion on his sleeve and Davis deals with that extensively. Calvin's influence is obvious although I found it interesting that while in Mexico the General flirted with the Roman Catholic Church. Some of Jackson's habits however cannot be explained by his religious beliefs and some of his behavior is frankly quite odd. Davis gets points for pointing out that Jackson absolutely refused to take any responsibility for failure, always looking for a scapegoat. This of course explains the long running feuds he had with some of his generals. In 1954 circles that criticism of the much revered Stonewall must have raised some eyebrows for as every southerner who is over 40 knows, Stonewall was always right and we would have won easily at Gettysburg if he had only been there. Every time we go to Gettysburg my wife points that out to me and thinks I am crazy because I don't necessarily agree with her.

I do have a problem with the fact that Davis does not have the courage to take on the Jackson legend so far as to point out his failures during the Seven Days Battles. I realize that it would have been a hard sell in 1954 but Davis fails to do much more than point out that Jackson was unusually slow during this period and does not really even attempt to answer the questions raised by the General's behavior. In fact, had Jackson not failed so badly during this campaign the Union army might have been almost destroyed. After Jackson's failure below Richmond it is indeed almost a miracle that Lee would later have enough confidence in Jackson to give him command of a corps. A lot more detail would have helped in this area.

Overall though, I found this to be an excellent biography. There is to be found here what was new information in 1954. This book in fact has been the foundation for many of the later and yes, better studies of Stonewall Jackson. This book has remained in print now for fifty years. That in itself should be a clear indicator that this is one of the all time classic studies of the civil war.

Excellent and Easy To Understand!.......2003-07-23

This is a well written and easy to follow book on the life of "Stonewall" Jackson. The book not only covers Jackson's military genius, but probes into the mind of the man himself. You come away from this book with a deeper understanding of Jackson, his strong religious convictions, his military fierceness, his strict discipline and his gentle side as well.
Upon reading this book, one realizes that Jackson was a complex man. Highly recommended reading for all Civil War buffs!

A capable, though not outstanding, work on Jackson.......2002-12-14

Certainly one of the most ingenious commanders of the Civil War, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson provides an interesting profile for a biographer. He was a brilliant commander, and led his troops on grinding marches for days at a time in order to secure gallant victories in the face of insurmountable odds. When he died Robert E. Lee lamented that he had lost his right arm, and indeed Jackson's loss was deeply felt by the Confederacy.

There was more to this man, however, than just the brilliant military strategist. He was also a devout man of God, humble and ever-willing to submit to the Divine will and give Him all the glory for his many victories. Behind General Jackson there was Jackson the believer, and the latter is just as much a part of Stonewall's history as the former.

Burke Davis does a decent job of narrating Jackson's life, though not extraordinary. The battle sequences are vague and difficult to follow, and the maps provide no assistance whatsoever. Davis frequently assumes he knows what Jackson was thinking, and often tells us just how Jackson felt about something. Sources are not cited, and we are left to wonder how much of the story is actually based on fact, and how much on speculation.

Davis's biography is satisfactory, but it does not do Stonewall's military actions justice. Some of the maneuvers he made and the victories he had were downright brilliant, and Davis leaves much to be desired in this respect. Still, the biography gives a decent portrait of Jackson's life. There are many biographies on Stonewall Jackson out there, and I would recommend this one only if one better is not available (as in my city's library).

Book Description

Lt. General T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson was once one of the most brilliant and enigmatic figures in the Civil War. He was a military genius, peculiar and perfect, fearless in battle but respectful of the Commandments (he hated to kill on Sunday). Yet he broke the rules to win, and his tactics are still studied worldwide.

"When Jackson died at Chancellorsville, something vital went out of the Confederacy. Lee was greatly affected for in Jackson he had a peer and a confidant, one of those rare friendships professional soldiers permit themselves, where thoughts suffice and words are often not needed." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

Great read for all ages.......2007-08-11

This is one of my daughter's favorite books read when she was 10 yrs old. An adult friend also loved reading the author's humorous experiences as a vet in NYC.

Veterinary house calls.......2007-06-16

I read this book years ago and recently bought it for my vet who makes house calls. There are some fun and touching stories for pet lovers.

I highly recommend this book .......2007-06-01

A must read for any cat lover. This book is touching, well written, hilarious, and educational to say the least. I have bought copies of it for all of my family members who own cats. Everyone who has read this book enjoys it!

a treat for cat owners.......2007-04-14

Book in good condiion, arrived soon after order. I learned a lot from this book, also was very entertained by the author's approach and writing. I would have liked to know this man. My husband is an author--he read the book cover to cover in a day, and praised the author's composition and style.

IN THE STYLE OF JAMES HERRIOT.......2007-01-20

Another warm, witty, and eminently readable account of a veterinarian's memories of his feline patients, ALL MY PATIENTS ARE UNDER THE BED brings to mind the work of beloved veterinarian James Herriot (ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL) and will not disappoint fans of that pioneering animal doctor. Cat lovers will find themselves wishing Camuti and his ilk were far more numerous; in today's world of fifteen-minute appointments and sky-high vet bills, Camuti's individual care, house calls, and irascible love for his patients will call to mind a simpler, more sincere and compassionate time.
