Typical, simple clipart of the Seashore.......2007-10-11

Nice images of the classic shorebirds were a pleasing treat for me; however, the quality of the images were lower than expected. Yet this gave me freedom to design my images using these as outlines into something that I can truly say is my art. A nice Dover Clipart Book of life in this realm.

Sea Life.......2007-09-10

I was very disapointed in this book. I expected a lot of clip art of different sea creatures, but instead the book only has a few species in a lot of different sizes.

waste of money.......2007-01-04

These illustrations are very crude and in my opinion badly drawn. It might be right for some projects, but wasn't what I wanted at all.

Book + CD-ROM.......2003-01-30

...this collection of Mallory Pearce's excellent illustrations includes a CD-ROM with the book's graphics saved in BMP, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PICT, and TIFF formats. Have fun with the shore birds, crustaceans, mollusks, echinoderms, Porifera, Coelenterata (I looked the last two up), and flora! Great to use on faxes, letters, and envelopes. This may turn out to be my favorite Dover clip art + CD-ROM collection since "Food and Drink Illustrations" ISBN: 0486999440.

Book Description

For chemists, biochemists, physicists and materials scientists, pressure as an experimental variable represents a tool that provides unique information about the microscopic properties of the materials being studied. In addition to its use as a research tool for investigating the energetics, structure, dynamics and kinetics of molecular transformations of materials, pressure is also being used to modify the properties of materials to preserve or improve their properties.
The contributions collected here cover the main areas of high pressure research, including applications in materials science, condensed matter physics, chemistry and biochemistry. In addition, some papers offer more specialised aspects of high pressure studies. The book makes clear the impressive range of fundamental and applied problems that can be studied by high pressure techniques and also points towards a major growth of high pressure science and technology in the near future.

From the author: A specially designed falling body viscometer has been used to obtain low shear viscosities of dilute solutions of high molecular weight polyethylene in decalin and for detecting phase transitions at high pressures. The method provides valuable rheological data at pressures that correspond to those in lubrication and some extrusion processes. In addition, the method enables detection of phase transitions, such as crystallization, that result in detectable changes in rheology. The influence of pressures as high as 0.6 GPa ([approximately] 80,000 psi) is illustrated here through a study of crystallization, with verification from light scattering and calorimetry.

Book Description

In recognition of Walter Gautschi's many contributions to mathematics and computer sciences, and to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday, an international conference was held in his honor at Purdue University in December 1993. From that meeting has arisen this collection of invited papers, providing an intimate view of the work of 60 outstanding scientists from sixteen countries, and standing as a tribute by his colleagues and students to Walter Gautschi. The book provides an extensive survey of the most current topics in the fields of approximation, orthogonal polynomials, quadrature, and special functions. It is a uniquely uniform representation of a broad spectrum of mathematical subjects. It will be of crucial interest to researchers in the forefront of the topics covered, doctoral students requiring the most up-to-date results, and historians concerned with the exceptional contributions of current scientific researchers and writers.

Book Description

This is the first book on constructive methods for, and applications of orthogonal polynomials, and the first available collection of relevant Matlab codes. The book begins with a concise introduction to the theory of polynomials orthogonal on the real line (or a portion thereof), relative to a positive measure of integration. Topics which are particularly relevant to computation are emphasized. The second chapter develops computational methods for generating the coefficients in the basic three-term recurrence relation. The methods are of two kinds: moment-based methods and discretization methods. The former are provided with a detailed sensitivity analysis. Other topics addressed concern Cauchy integrals of orthogonal polynomials and their computation, a new discussion of modification algorithms, and the generation of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. The final chapter deals with selected applications: the numerical evaluation of integrals, especially by Gauss-type quadrature methods, polynomial least squares approximation, moment-preserving spline approximation, and the summation of slowly convergent series. Detailed historic and bibliographic notes are appended to each chapter. The book will be of interest not only to mathematicians and numerical analysts, but also to a wide clientele of scientists and engineers who perceive a need for applying orthogonal polynomials.

Book Description

Eco displays in these essays the same wit, learning, and lively intelligence that delighted readers of The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s Pendulum. His range is wide, and his insights are acute, frequently ironic, and often downright funny. Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

Customer Reviews:

Interesting collection of essays.......2004-01-23

Many readers will probably be attracted to books like these after reading and enjoying Eco's novels, especially The Name of the Rose and Foucalt's Pendulum. If so, be warned. As I discovered, the Eco of the essay is NOT the Eco of the novels. Both Ecos are eccentric, clever and witty. However, the Eco of essays is a more radical and postmodern thinker. His topics can be seen by some as mundane. He's interested in pop culture and some of his theories are a tad obscure.

This collection is a series of loosely connected essays by Eco. It's an interesting book to read not cover-to-cover but to read an essay once in a while until the book is finished. That way the attitudes can sink in. The biggest fault I found with the book is certain essays to do with semiotics have arguments that are complex and hard to follow. This is understandable as they're taken from more specialised publications whereas in the novels, he strives to bring his ideas to the general public.

The essays I found to be most likeable are Travels in Hyperreality (about the proliferation of wax museums in the US and the general obsession with replicas in society), Reports from the Global Village (a series of essays on media), an analysis of Casablanca and In Praise of St Thomas (Eco's PhD was on Thomas so his views can be seen as fairly authoritative).

A good read but not brilliant.

Reader from Israel.......2003-08-08

Well this was my third book by Mr. Eco and dthe continue to get worse. The Rose was excellent and made me hungry for more but after the Pendulum and this Hyper-Realty bit I'm going to have to call it quits. The author has the ability t oput together a great novel such as the Rose, I wish it were mine, but the other stuff is just not happening.

Amorphous Lump o' Eco.......2003-03-17

Umberto Eco is clearly a genius - his fictional works testify to that. I assume his reputation as a semiologist is well earned (since I know little about the subject beyond what Walker Percy digested).

Unfortunately, I found "Travels in Hyperreality" to be a hastily pasted collection of observations and commentary that is not really worthy of Eco's growing portfolio. The book was sometimes interesting, but dry and tasteless. I thought the whole lot of it could be encapsulated in Eco's strange observations concerning "the wearing of blue jeans." That is, if you're really, really, really into Eco and want to soak up everything he says, then this book will not disappoint. If, on the other hand, you have limited time on your hands, then Eco's fictional works, or "Search for the Perfect Language," are far better temporal investments.

Perhaps I didn't get it, or perhaps it was a mistake reading much of it in a bar in Santa Clara, but I would assert that this is only a book for the Eco purist.

Does Disney Own The Planet?.......2003-02-01

A deliriously funny trip through the mad places the earth's inhabitants call home. Eco skewers like "kitsch-ka-bob" the artificial pseudo paradises we have created with all our so-called modern conveniences. What have we turned our cities into, by the way? Do we really understand art?

If you've ever driven through rural Arkansas or Texas and wanted to capture with words the seemingly inexplicable, paradoxical sights along the way, it's been done for you and can be enjoyed in these side-splitting pages.

Lots of fun.

on travels in hyperreality.......2001-04-20

i got this book because of the essay by which it is entitled. it is a great work, and a basic reading for those interested on the topics of hyperreality, simulated or thematized environments, and the like. quite contemporary tho Eco's work is Baudrillard's la precession des simulacres. so they are from the 70's and much more has been written on the topic, but these texts are, as i said, basic to understand all the rest. eco's work is quite openning ranging from xanaduswax museums, the theming of nature, etc. it is worthy.
