Book Description
Issues of representation affect every aspect of scientific activity, from the encoding, display, analysis, and presentation of data to the communication of scientific concepts and information to students and the general public. The essays in this collection explore the issues involved in the creation and deployment of visual representations in both the natural and the social sciences.
Visual Cultures of Science offers a mix of theoretical analyses and revealing case studies. The latter address such topics as the technologies of visualization (from X-ray machines to films made by anthropologists), the persuasive power of the graphic presentation of data (including a critique of the work of Edward Tufte), and the distillation of data into pedagogical representations such as scientific wall charts for classroom use. With its useful mix of theory and case study, the book addresses both abstract and practical issues of representation, as well as demonstrating the importance of recognizing historicized perspectives in addressing issues of representation.
These essays, by many of the field's leading minds today, offer solid research and new information pertaining to the methods, purposes, and implications of scientific visual culture.

every woman should own this book to show to their guy.......2004-08-03
This is what most women look like. If you want to see real nudes, not digitally or surgically altered, buy this book. This coming from someone who knows the business of digitally altering photos.
Wonderful, erotic, and silly!.......2001-09-30
This is a great book of vintage erotic photography. I want to emphasize that none of the models are ugly, dowdy, or without artifice, but these photographs were taken before the advent of the airbrush, so these are pictures of what women really look like. I, for one, think it makes them cuter. Case in point: There is a great picture of two lesbians that doesn't even look like porn, it just looks like they're really in love.
Not Erotic, But Historically Interesting.......2000-11-02
This is a strange look into the past when photography began. Naturally, men wanted to photograph women in the nude and "in the act." I say it is "strange" because many of the women are ugly or dowdy with bodies that are undesirable, to say the least. Few knew how to pose at the time and many of the ladies seem almost pathetic in their lack of artifice. One cannot escape the idea that the viewer may be looking at an ancestor and - also a jarring thought - the vast majority of the women (and men) in this book are dead. If you want a haunting reminder of days past and that we are all mortal, buy this book. If you're looking for erotica, this isn't it.
Fantastic Nude Erotic Photography from 1839 - 1939.......2000-08-11
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the human body as an art form. The pictures give a representative history of the female nude since the inception of the camara.
The pictures in this book delighted me and also shocked me. Most of the pictures are of erotic in nature but some are very explicit showing sexual intercourse.
The quality of the pictures are of good quality considering most of the picutres were taken over 100 years ago.
This is a must have for any collecter of erotic photography.
The best book around on Vintage Erotica!.......2000-01-16
All the photos are old-time nudes and erotica but the images from the mid 1800's are astonishing. Nudes, kink, even sexual stuff!
The material is presented along with some excellent and insightful commentary. All in all this book is amazing value and highly recommended!

Funny, but it's no Kiss my Tiara.......2007-08-28
Humorous account of her memoirs, I always enjoy a mouthful of saucy sarcasm. However, I remain loyal to her first book of ironic, irreverant commentary on strange female behaviors. Rent Hypocrite from the library, but buy this one.Kiss My Tiara: How to Rule the World as a SmartMouth Goddess
A personality book.......2007-08-13
This book was a really great read if you end up liking the woman who wrote it. She lays bare all her naiveties and embarrassing moments in writing that skips along quickly, gracefully and wittily.
Unlike some reviewers who found her knowledge gaps disingenuous, I found that I believed her more, and it suggested to me that she has written a lot of it from diary entries which adds to it enormously.
Pee-your-pants funny.......2007-08-08
I loved this book! It was given to me by a friend as comic relief because I was reading too many serious books (I never read memoirs). I laughed so hard and so much that my cheeks hurt. I put it up there with David Sedaris in terms of wittiness and turning the mundane quirks of life into slapstick. Susan is brutally honest, bright, and the wastes no time laughing at herself. I can respect that.
Very well-written. A must read. If you don't think this book is funny, you must be dead inside. :)
Namaste
Never stop smiling........2007-07-15
Although I am not finished with this book, I have to say its the funniest thing I've read in awhile. I find myself laughing uncontrollably while reading this book. After starting this book I realized that my childhood/teenage years were not that weird and it had me identify with the author. I'm having a great time reading it and look forward to finishing the book.
Laugh out loud inappropriately sort of book.......2007-02-07
Susie Gilman shows an incredible feel for comedy and self in this novel. I was reading this on the train and actually burst out into laughter, with many riders thinking that I was a little nuts. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for some all around, good fun.

Book Description
Many of us believe in social justice and equality of opportunity - but we also want the best for our kids. Does a commitment to social justice require one to send one's children to the local public school - however poor its academic results? Is it hypocritical to disapprove of private schools but justify sending your own child to one? Some parents feel guilty but don't need to. Others should feel guilty and don't. This book is the guide to school choice that morally perplexed parents have been waiting for.
Customer Reviews:
Case study of political hypocrisy.......2004-04-28
As the title of Swift's book suggests, this is a book not just about a particular moral issue - the limits of parental partiality in favouring your own children when your choice of a suitable school for them might conflict with your commitment to social justice - but also about political hypocrisy as such. One of the many merits of Swift's subtle and admirably accessible discussion is that he upsets the sense you might easily have that you already know, without giving it much thought, what your beliefs about the shape of a just society require you to do in an unjust society you live in if your actions are to be consistent with your political creed. The link between political beliefs and actions other than voting is in fact less transparent than you might think, and the charge of hypocrisy more difficult to prove, both with regard to yourself and to other people. Perhaps - and this is a possibility Swift does not consider - when you're faced with a practical decision there isn't really any one thing you just have to do for your action to be consistent with your political beliefs. The general lesson of Swift's book is that your beliefs about the just society won't simply dictate your actions, and that political consistency isn't just a matter of putting one's principles into action, but also of knowing what it is that your principles actually demand of you. And that isn't itself contained in the principles and remains for you to work out.

Martin von Muenchen is ridiculously funny in his description of Mallorca, a popular vacation spot in Spain for German tourists. With his slapstick humor, von Muenchen shows why he is a master at funny descriptions of mundane things. Von Muenchen pokes fun of his own compatriots with a great sense of humor and satire, while celebrating the glories of all things German. For non-Germans, German Paradise Mallorca: A Funny Telling provides a humorous look into German culture and people in a way that provides useful information. This books is both funny and informative. Von Muenchen provides the kind of light-hearted reading that will have you laughing for a long time.
Customer Reviews:
Amusement galore!.......2005-06-09
This was one of the most amusing books I've ever read. It provided a light hearted insight into the behaviour and mannerisms of Germans in Mallorca. The story reminded me of the fun that I had when I visited Mallorca in the 1980's.
I would highly recommend this book since it will keep you laughing until the end.
Funny!.......2005-01-13
This book is really funny. It has slapstick humor. I could see the funny situations created, given all the players and setting in place. It's hard to believe that such a place as a German paradise exists in the world. After reading this book, I am inspired to visit Majorca, just to see how things are. I will probably bring the book along as a guide. I say, it's a funny book with a purpose!
Funny as Hell!.......2005-01-13
This is so funny, it'll have you laughing for days. It's in the fine tradition of Saturday Night Live humor (I don't know if it was intentional or not, but who cares about intention when it's so funny?). This book turns German angst into energy for fun. The photos are great and the special effects of the photos add a nice touch. You bet I'll be heading down to Mallorca soon.....

Book Description
The name of Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983) commonly brings to mind the intriguing group of French composers referred to in the 1920s as "iconoclasts," and known as Les Six (with Poulenc, Auric, Durey, Milhaud, and Honegger). To envision her solely in this most brief of lights, however, does not bring a sense of justice to her legacy, for Tailleferre leaves behind a large and diverse body of musical work that spans 70 years, writing for more than a half-century after the precarious summit of Les Six. Although she was well acquainted with many influential 20th-century artists, from Picasso to Stravinsky to Charlie Chaplin, she remains a curiously mysterious, if not absent, figure in biographical studies and in studies of the times of which she was an integral part.

Book Description
How does the world work and what is mathematics’ role in its description? An authoritative and well-reasoned account of string theory’s fashionable status among today’s theoretical physicists, and promising new directions, including the role of beauty in mathematics and physics.
Customer Reviews:
In my case, mission accomplished.......2007-09-23
The "science fictional" elements of string theory have a tremendous appeal to me, frankly, so the physics presentations I've gone to and seen on video were virtually always string-theoretical in nature. Since I'm not paid to do physics, I only paid attention to the most exciting stuff. We were lucky enough to have Fenyman lecture to a couple of my physics classes, but the presentation I went to by him later was on nanoengineering, for instance, because that's cool and scifi-ish. I read the Feynman Lectures and lately worked my way through Penrose's Road to Reality. I have to say, the periodic admission or criticism that string theory, M-theory, branes+string etc. had not progressed made me wonder why it was so prominent, but I basically assumed that it was the high cost of testing it at fault, and also assumed that, frankly, the top physics researchers, including people like Hawking, knew what they were doing. I can't blame my professors, my physics study was very basic, Standard Model stuff in my 1st year of grad school (after which I stopped taking physics courses). And then and undergrad I wasn't that big on cosmology, I was into energy and thermal statistical physics and basic math tools. It was after that when a lot of my reading was popular physics books like The First Three Minutes that I basically assumed string theory had won out.
Thanks to this book (kind of the straw that broke the camel's back, frankly), I am going to look at and attend no more presentations on tachyon theory and smeared branes and so on. (You could do a whole geek-zombie comic book, I think, about students who turn into zombies studying the d-braned theories of inarticulate p-branes, shambling around calling out braaaanes.).
If you haven't read it, NEW's not stumping for anything else, not twistor theory, not steady state, not loop quantum gravity, nada. Purely establishing the negative. That's a tremendous plus. Also, I don't feel qualified to make the kind of metascientific judgment it would need to arrive at Peter Woit's position.
It seems to me more likely that the people who say you can reconfigure string theory as a convention of some sort are right. That does not mean I support the idea you can directly make string theory match conventional spacetime 4-dimensions field theory, but rather that you can PROBABLY find ways to model all the things that the string theory program gets when it uses extra compactified dimensions or branes.
I think Academician Prokhor Zakharov should have the last word, however, since his analysis was prescient:
"A brave little theory; and actually, quite coherent for a system of 5 or 7 dimensions. If only we lived in one!"
Thank you Peter.......2006-09-05
Excellent book. There are hard parts and easier parts. But the main point is that diversity is needed in the study of physics, I agree. Peter shows that string theory has not lived up to its hype, our research dollars can be better spend by providing funding for a portfolio of studies into various areas not only ST. See Penrose for some further ideas here. I vote Peter, Lee and Roger are the board of review for Physics funding based on there excellent approaches.
it is not wrong, just on the side.......2006-08-20
Reading the so pretending harvard professor "review" made me drop a few lines. My personal feeling is that all reviewers including book's author are wrong. String theory is not wrong. Any formal mathematical construct that can be proved is correct. Does it serve any practical purpose because of that? Not necessarily. Same with string theory, it describes what the laws of physics would be if the world just happened to function as string constructs specify. Does it? To the latest evidence it does not, but if there existed somewhere a world formed by tiny strings, perhaps string theory would describe it much better than any other.
Strings see things sideways........2006-08-06
Woit has written a very good book! Having studied strings since their inception (following on the duality work of Veneziano in 1968, and then many others) my work fortunately took a different path... The unique position that now appears is that of one who knows what strings are all about, but who enjoys seeing how long it'll take the rest of the physics fraternity to catch up - this claim is backed up below with a few solid predictions! Unlike a large proportion of stringy 'aficionados' (seemingly driven by egos rather than desires to advance physical understanding) Woit has taken pains to be unemotional (unlike Motl) and to present the hard facts (both in reality and as conceptually hard) to an intelligent readership. Woit has completed a difficult task well without relying on the 'descriptive' cover of mathematics - even though he has the maths tools to have done so.
A vital aspect of Woit's book is that it approaches the strings debate scientifically; that is, from its conceptual basis, although words are used to decribe the physics instead of mathematics. In my opinion this was hard. The well-chosen phrases that Woit uses to explain the physical concepts have an effective mathematical shorthand, but that's just another language; you don't need math to make useful contributions to physics - although to be heard it certainly helps. Woit's book is the first to ask the very 'hard' questions of a fraternity that does not liked to be questioned - he allows the readers to form their own views after presenting most of the hard facts.
The problem with strings (it is not a theory since nothing about it can be falsified - just as there is nothing falsifiable about a pretty picture even though it can be said to be descriptive of what the artist was thinking at the time) is that it attempts to describe physical reality from the side-in. The concepts of both quantum mechanics and general relativity describe reality from a top-down perspective, but reality is only generated from bottom-up in a very simple way. Looking in from the side one sees many things, depending on one's field-of-view; all different and parts of the whole. What strings attempts to describe is othogonal to reality as seen from above or below; thus, it is not surprising that the number of edge-on views available to strings is nearly infinite and so the true landscape of reality unseeable from its stringy perspective.
As promised above, some predictions that come from a bottom-up view of reality. The Higgs energy is 34.25 TeV, supersymmetry is true, but to see it needs high resolution, not high energy; a good example is the energy space between electron 510999 eV and selectron 512104 eV, and between proton 938272194 and sproton at just 7429 ev up-scale at 938279623 eV and spin-zero. Every mass is able to be calculated easily and exactly. The universe that we occupy is uniquely described by a very simple mechanism, and it cannot be any other way! I enjoy seeing how difficult all the stringy people are making things; they need to revisit 1972 and find the proper path. Woit's words will win in the end. He has had the courage to tell the story how it really is, and the truth is all that really matters in the end...
Perfect antidote.......2006-07-24
I've been reading popular accounts of physics, esp. cosmology and quantum physics, for the past 30 years. Inevitably, the past 10 - 15 years or so a lot of these books contained many pages extolling the virtues of the new miracle theory (perpetually) on the horizon aka "string theory".
I was always led to believe this theory would finally merge quantum field theory and general relativity, and soon the very first moments of the Big Bang would be a mystery no more.
I should have known something was amiss. Whereas one (a non-physicist I mean) can at least understand the gist of quantum physics and general relativity with at least a minimal understanding of calculus or topology, no such luck with string theory. The message always seemed to be: "string theory involves very, very complicated mathematics, and except for a very few lucky people everyone is just too much of a moron to understand any of it".
After reading Peter Woit's book, I understand why none of the popular books on string theory seem to make much sense. String theory is a dream that someday the magical formula that explains everything will pop out of the vacuum (sorry, infinite number of vacua).
I will continue reading popular science books, including those of the string lovers. But this book is certainly a must read for everyone interested in the frontier of physics.

GREAT photos you'd want to send to yourself.......2002-10-21
These photos are great. You could send them to your pals or you can send them to yourself. Great snapshots of scenes from your favorite Xena episodes. Gabrielle looks hot, too. All the Gabby pics are of classic Gabrielle--with the long hair. There are some hot photos of Callisto too! Really sexy! This is worth buying even just to keep for yourself. I miss the show but these bring back great memories.
Nice pictures!.......2001-01-06
In this postcard book, there are some really nice pictures, although there are a few less nicer ones. I'd recommened this book for any Xenite. There are some graet shots of Xena there, which is usually very hard to find. It features almost all of the characters that performed on the first 2 seasons (including Callisto). The quality of the pictures is very good. But don't let the describtion fool you: there are only 30 postcards in it. All in all, it's great, and worth the money.
Nice pictures........1999-01-17
There were a few mistakes on the back cover pertaining to this book, but the pics were pretty good. There was only one picture of Ares, and that was as a mortal. However, it had some nice Callisto, Xena, and Gabrielle pics, and also had many guest stars. My only warning is this book only runs through season 2.
