Great overall book.......2003-05-01

This book has little known facts, stratagies, and techniques for scoring well on the MCAT and also gaining entrance into medical school. It's a great book for those who are just begining the long process of studying for the MCAT exam. This won't be nearly enough information to cover all the bases for the MCAT, but it will answer most of your questions about the MCAT and what type of score you need to attain. It also briefly mentions some medical schools and an overview of their avarage admission statistics. It does fail to give information about osteopathic medical schools, however, which is a significant drawback. Otherwise it is highly recommended for potential medical school applicants.

it's hard to believe that the ox could write such an awesome book. go ox!

Great Book.......2000-12-28

I was looking for an MCAT reveiw book for my son. I came across this one in our campus bookstore. I found it to be well organized, well written, and nearly complete. However, the biology section is missing at least one key topic - a discussion and a schematic drawing of the nephron. Perhaps this deficieny will be taken off in the next edition.

With regard to the previous review.......2000-06-18

I think the book is on fact very good, without getting lost in the details, it focuses on the concepts and thinking, something that most MCAT books on the market fail to do. True, the book does not have as many practice questions and passages as it should, but if you want practice, I suggest picking up Columbia Review Practice Tests.

Limited use.......1999-08-19

This book gives you very quick (and not terribly useful science reviews) and a bunch of practice questions, which are useful as drills but nothing like the MCAT questions. It's not really worth the money unless you like doing lots of short answer drills to help you memorizations

Book Description

How old is our Universe? At what speed is our Universe expanding? Is our universe flat or curved? How is the hierarchical structure of the present Universe formed? The purpose of IAU Symposium 183 on the Cosmological Parameters and the Evolution of the Universe was to encourage a state-of-the-art discussion and assessment of cosmology by putting together the latest observational data and theoretical ideas on the evolution of the universe and cosmological parameters. In this volume, excellent reviews on these subjects by distinguished scientists are included. The first article by M.S. Longair, `Cosmological Parameters and the Evolution of the Universe: Progress and Prospect', is a magnificent general review which can be understood by non-specialists. The other reviews include Hubble Constants (W.L. Freedman, G.A. Tammann), Microwave Background Radiation (R.B. Partridge, N. Sugiyama), Galaxy Formation and Evolution (R.S. Ellis) and Alternative Cosmological Models (J.V. Narlikar). In addition to the reviews, recent observational and theoretical developments by outstanding active scientists are included.

Book Description

This volume grew out of the 1988 Fermi lectures given by Professor Ostriker, and is concerned with cosmological models that take into account the large scale structure of the universe. He starts with homogeneous isotropic models of the universe and then, by considering perturbations, he leads us to modern cosmological theories of the large scale, such as superconducting strings. This will be an excellent companion for all those interested in the cosmology and the large scale nature of the universe.

The Stars: Their Structure and Evolution

ASIN: 0844813567

Book Description

This book is a quantitative introduction to what is known or theorized about the structure and evolution of galactic systems. It begins with a general introduction to galaxies and a summary of our empirical observations of galaxies in the universe, including our own. There are then three chapters on galactic structure: the manner in which motions of stars determine galactic shape, the determination of galactic masses, and the structure of discs in spirals. Galactic evolution, especially changes in chemical composition over time, is then covered. The book concludes with a discussion of the origin of galaxies and their relation to more general questions in cosmology. The presentation is sufficiently mathematical so that quantitative results can be discussed in detail. Throughout, the author stresses what are currently accepted results and what theories may need revision in what continues to be a rapidly developing subject.

Customer Reviews:

Semi-popular book .......2007-03-13

This book uses a semi-popular approach. The author covers lots of topics related to galactic structure and evolution; including the most usual subjects: observations, morphology, stellar and galactic dynamics, chemical composition and cosmology. But also covers other less popular issues such as interstellar material, cosmic rays, chemical evolution, etc. However, due to the limited size of the book, none of these topics is treated in great detail. The book is written from a qualitative rather than a quantitative perspective. The mathematical content of the book is very superficial and the few formulas included are not very clarifying.

The author always keeps close to the observational phenomena. This is very satisfying since for every new phenomena introduced there is always a comparison between the predictions and the observations.

The book is very entertaining and easy to read. It is aimed at readers who want to go one step beyond the mass of popular books dealing with galaxies. A summary section at the end of every chapter is very convenient to help the reader refresh the learnt knowledge. The price is also great.

Book Description

For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. The Milky Way itself resides in a group, and groups can be found at high redshift. The current generation of 10-m class telescopes and space facilities allows the observation of the members of nearby groups with exquisite detail, and their properties can be correlated with the global properties of their host group. Groups in the local Universe offer us the chance to study galaxies in environments characterized by strong interactions. In the cosmological context, groups trace large-scale structures better than clusters, and the evolution of groups and clusters appears to be related. All these aspects of research on groups of galaxies are summarized in this book written by scientists working in various fields.

Book Description

Recent advances in our understanding of instabilities in galactic type systems have led to an unravelling of some of the mysteries of what determines the form galaxies take. This book focuses on the mathematical development of the subject, assuming no prior knowledge of it, with a strong emphasis on the underlying physical interpretation. This framework is used to discuss the most relevant instabilities which are believed to be closely involved in the way galaxies are formed, in a model independent manner. The relevant observed properties of galaxies that may be used to establish the role of these physical mechanisms are discussed.
The book also includes a chapter discussing numerical simulation techniques, with attention paid to their limitations and to recent advances in this approach. It is demonstrated that recent developments in computer hardware enable a detailed comparison of simulations with analysis. Thus the simulations extend our physical understanding beyond the limitations of the analysis.
The book is intended for use by postgraduate students and researchers in the areas of cosmology, extragalactic astronomy and dynamics.
