              4 out of 5 stars simple and/or simplistic.......2005-09-21

              This book is part of the Harvard Business School Press's "Results-Driven Manager" series. So this is otensibly high powered advice aimed at "C-Level" executives and those who aspire to C-Level status. The actual content of the book is simple, verging on simplistic. This is an anthology of short, generally breezy articles from recent HBS newsletters giving advice so basic you wonder how the readers got to be where they are without knowing this stuff.

              The main point of this book is that a company can't be successful unless workers are actually rewarded for doing their jobs competently (or better.) It is a sad commentary on the state of Corporate America that this point even needs to be made. Another strangely obvious revelation in this book is that workers are more productive when management makes sure they have the tools they need to do their jobs.

              In any case, this is (for the most part) a readable book, just the right size and length to read on your next plane flight. The advice given by the various writers, simplistic though it is, is certainly not worthless.

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent text for introduction to constitutional law.......1998-05-14

                I used this text with introductory Constitutional Law students. Most found it one of the best texts they have ever used. They were particularly pleased with the author's approach. Pohlman gives a good sense of the historical setting. The students found the briefs very helpful to their understanding of legal thinking. Most of the cases are well edited.

                4 out of 5 stars Lots of info, but spare me the victim's rights lectures.......2005-10-01

                For a first semester course in criminal justice, this is a very comprehensive textbook. Lots of information, and you can learn a lot. I didn't use any of the on-line features, so can't say anything for them.
                But in every chapter, once you get past the important subject matter, you get beat over the head, repeatedly, with a lecture about how everyone outside of the criminal justice system is oppressed. Hispanics are oppressed, women are oppressed, urban blacks are oppressed, EVERYONE is a poor sad victim of THE MAN. Statistical data to back up the claims are as shoddy as I've ever seen. Over and over I filled the margins of my text with comments on how these errors are used to blatently skew the arguments. This is so overbearing that our instructor wouldn't even discuss these pages during our lectures.
                A consistant pattern is to present supporting opinions as being from "experts," (often unnamed), while opposing opinions are "controversial," despite that these positions are devisive across the country. You have to read carefully to recognize these biases, and not let them take root.
                One early chapter spends pages discussing the inherent racism in the criminal justice system, only to imbed in a short paragraph that criminologists are by no means of one mind regarding its existence.
                Then you have the partial statistics: "...nearly sixty times more Americans are arrested than are sent to prison each year." But no mention is made of the percentage of misdemeanors vs. felonies, or how many went to jail vs. prison.
                Weak support for statistics abounds throughout this book.
                If you can get past that and concentrate on the basic concepts, you can find plenty to learn. Just remember, as presented by these authors, the white man is bad, especially the white policeman. Diversity, understanding, lowering of standards, and a great big Kumbaya will heal us all.

                Kathleen Walls has done a wonderful job of detailing the "Eric Rudolph Story" in Man Hunt. The book is short and easy to read but contains a lot of interesting tidbits about Eric Rudolph and the case against him. This is an intriguing and well-researched book. I highly recommend it to lovers of true crime books.

                      I bought this bundled with the textbook, and found it to be helpful prior to taking tests. Read the textbook chapter carefully, then review the questions in this study guide to see how much you need to re-read. Has a good combination of Multiple Choice, T/F and Fill-in questions for each chapter. Be cautious though, nearly every chapter's questions has at least one error. These guys could have done a better job of proof reading.

                          An astrophysicist guides us through the celestial apocalypse, from Revelations to the Big Crunch. From the beginning of time people have looked to the heavens to find order in the universe, to divine meaning and direction from celestial events. The same skies that used to instill fear in our ancient prophets today spawn a rich apocalyptic science for awestruck stargazers. This remarkable book explores the shared quest of prophets and astronomers to explain the strange phenomena of our skies—from the apocalypse foretold in Revelations to modern science's ongoing identification of multiple cataclysmic threats, including the impact of comets and asteroids on earthly life; the likelihood of future collisions; the meaning of solar eclipses and the death of stars; the implications of black holes for time travel; and the ultimate fate of the universe and of time. 30 illustrations.

                          3 out of 5 stars Not as good as I thought.......2007-07-03

                          First the good news. The author knows his science very well. The bad news is he does a poor job of blending the theme of religion's effect on the science of astronomy. Religious persecution was, and still is, a great hinderence in the scientific community. The author's " I'm o.k. you're o.k." approach to this problem left me cold.

                          5 out of 5 stars Another Hat in the Ring--Not the Fellowship of the Ring.......2005-12-05

                          Cosmology is a contact sport. I learned this through watching the careers of my father, Ralph A. Alpher, now Emeritus Distinguished Research Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Union College of Union University (Schenectady, NY), and Robert A. Herman, former Professor of Physics and Engineering at the University of Texas.

                          This is an extremely competitive subject. One in which otherwise intellegent persons will lie, cheat and steal ideas to get ahead. I should know. That's my field, so to speak.

                          Dr. Marcelo Gleiser enters the field with this book, following his astoundingly successful 1997 "The Dancing Universe." If you go into the area of cosmology AND religion, you are going to butt heads!

                          I recently had the great opportunity to sit in the room while Dr. Gleiser interviewed my father, profiled recently in Discover 99 in an article entitled "The Last Big Bang Man Left Standing." He is the last of his generation of Cosmologists during the Golden Era of Physics--the 1930s-1960s. I coin that term here, for the record. I know that Dr. Gleiser, son of immigrants to Brazil from nearby regions of my grandfather--the Ukraine, is a Physicist who actually cares deeply about this connection--for he tried numerous approaches to delve into Dr. Ralph A. Alpher's thinking on the problem. My father has considered this, many times, of course, and written but not published some ideas.

                          Dr. Gleiser, on the other hand, has tackled it in print, the writing is readable to any not-technical person, and I highly recommend it for anyone--whatever side of the creationism controversy the reader has affinity for.

                          3 out of 5 stars Readable cosmology book, unsatisfying thesis.......2005-10-22

                          The Prophet and the Astronomer attempts as its goal to connect historically religious attitudes toward the heavens with the modern cosmological implications for spiritual identity. Both are different facets of the same quest for meaning that man has undertaken since ancient times.

                          Unfortunately, the thesis more-or-less devolves into "Ancients used to think that comets were harbingers of doom. Today we know they are balls of ice and rock hurtling around the solar system."

                          Not very illuminating.

                          What Gleiser does do well -- but not nearly as well as numerous other authors -- is describe principles and developments of modern cosmology to popular audiences. For this, however, the reader would do much better to turn to Brian Greene, Martin Rees, or Hawking (to name a few).

                          3 out of 5 stars An Interesting Look at Cosmology.......2005-09-02

                          I just finished reading this book, and I must say that it took much longer than usual to get through it. I tended to read it a bit at a time because, although interesting, it was quite hard to get through. The main reason for this, I think, is that it's filled to the brim with physics-related information - and I have little to no physics background with which to understand these concepts. It's because I believe that many others would be stumped by this information as well, that I have rated "The Prophet & the Astronomer" a 3.

                          Beyond the complicated physics theories, I found this book to provide quite an interesting look at cosmology through the ages. The author discusses how several hundred years ago, most people believed that such things as comets & shooting stars were actually meant to warn them of bad things to come - famine, war, death, etc... This is how cosmology began to influence, and be influenced by, theology/religion.

                          He then goes on to show how many cults of past & present still use this type of information to scare their followers into continued cult association, and how they also use such things as comets & shooting stars to then explain away why their predictions didn't come about as they said it would - for ex., they might say that they just saw a shooting star, and this means that God has changed his timing...

                          It's also shown how each culture tends to believe that the end of the world will occur in their lifetime - people have been preparing for this for thousands of years...

                          One can see through the progression of this book how some people today still believe much the same things as those in times past re: cosmology & the end. However, now more than ever, science has been at the forefront of this exciting field, as opposed to religion. However, the author believes that science & religion don't have to be on opposite sides of the fence on this issue - as both are essentially trying to answer the same questions.

                          Overall, I would recommend this book to those who have an interest & background in physics in general, and cosmology in particular. I think you will find it an interesting read.

                          4 out of 5 stars well written but the wrong size.......2005-03-31

                          This is a well-written popularization of some very abstruse material, i.e., the creation of the universe and the nature of time. I could quibble with some of the choices he made. He leaves out some things which perhaps he should have included, and includes others which he should have left out. Also, like many modern-day scientists, he sometimes is a little condescending towards ancient philosophers, but in general he does a great job of integrating modern and anicent ideas.

                          My complaint is that the book is the wrong size. I have to admit I am not sure what size it should have been. It is a standard 250-page trade book, but it really should have either been a thin pamphlet or a thick tome-- or possibly a richly illustrated coffee table book a la Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Gleiser's book as it actually exists simultaneously feels like a thin pamphlet with extraneous anecdotes added to pad it out to "full" length and like an abridged synopsis of a magnum opus.
