Very good detailed textbook.......2001-12-16
For a textbook, this one was very well organized and had an easy flow in reading. Best economics related book I have read. It did, though, have some minor spelling and grammar mistakes though.
Intermediate Microeconmics.......2000-04-04
A very educational book that will be needed even after graduating from college. A book that contains the very basic concepts of Microeconomics.
Book Description
In Overseers of the Poor, John Gilliom confronts the everyday politics of surveillance by exploring the worlds and words of those who know it best-the watched. Arguing that the current public conversation about surveillance and privacy rights is rife with political and conceptual failings, Gilliom goes beyond the critics and analysts to add fresh voices, insights, and perspectives.
This powerful book lets us in on the conversations of low-income mothers from Appalachian Ohio as they talk about the welfare bureaucracy and its remarkably advanced surveillance system. In their struggle to care for their families, these women are monitored and assessed through a vast network of supercomputers, caseworkers, fraud control agents, and even grocers and neighbors.
In-depth interviews show that these women focus less on the right to privacy than on a critique of surveillance that lays bare the personal and political conflicts with which they live. And, while they have little interest in conventional forms of politics, we see widespread patterns of everyday resistance as they subvert the surveillance regime when they feel it prevents them from being good parents. Ultimately, Overseers of the Poor demonstrates the need to reconceive not just our understanding of the surveillance-privacy debate but also the broader realms of language, participation, and the politics of rights.
We all know that our lives are being watched more than ever before. As we struggle to understand and confront this new order, Gilliom argues, we need to spend less time talking about privacy rights, legislatures, and courts of law and more time talking about power, domination, and the ongoing struggles of everyday people.

Book Description
Bringing together a series of articles on the structural, functional, and developmental characteristics of epithelia, this volume represents a timely and valuable contribution to a growing field of study. Divided into three sections, the first part highlights the typical features of epithelia that can be understood in molecular terms: adhesive properties, interactions with neighboring cells and with the extracellular matrix, epithelial transport, and epithelial-specific gene regulation. The first cell types that emerge during development already show epithelial characteristics. The second section describes the generation and morphogenesis of the first epithelia, molecular control of epithelial-mesenchymal conversions (mesoderm formation) as well as molecular characteristics of mesenchymal-epithelial interactions. Defects in epithelial function and growth control play a major role in human disease, e.g., skin pathologies, and in the development of carcinomas which comprise more than 90% of human tumors. Malignant carcinomas cannot be understood without knowledge of the biological characteristics of epithelia. The third and final section discusses the molecularly well understood pathologies of epithelia such as loss of differentiation in carcinomas.

Book Description
To appreciate the chemistry and physical properties of complexes of the transition series, an understanding of metal-ligand interactions applied to complexes of the d-block is needed. Metal Ligand Bonding aims to provide this through an accessible, detailed, non-mathematical approach.Initial chapters detail the crystal-field model, using it to describe the use of magnetic measurements to distinguish complexes with different electronic configurations and geometries. Subsequent chapters look at the molecular orbital theory of transition metal complexes using a pictorial approach. Bonding in octahedral complexes is explored and electronic spectra and magnetic properties are given extensive coverage.The material addressed in this book forms the foundation of undergraduate lecture courses on d-block chemistry and facilitates learning through various key features, including: full colour diagrams; in-text questions with answers; revision exercises and clearly defined learning outcomes to encourage a reflective approach to study; an associated website; and experimental data and observations from everyday life.A basic knowledge of atomic and molecular orbitals as applied to main group elements is assumed.

Book Description
Quantum field theory (QFT) combines quantum mechanics with Einstein's special theory of relativity and underlies elementary particle physics. This book presents a philosophical analysis of QFT. It is the first treatise in which the philosophies of space-time, quantum phenomena, and particle interactions are encompassed in a unified framework. Describing the physics in nontechnical terms, and schematically illustrating complex ideas, the book also serves as an introduction to fundamental physical theories. The philosophical interpretation both upholds the reality of the quantum world and acknowledges the irreducible cognitive elements in its representation. The interpretation is based on an analysis of our ways of thinking as the are embedded in the logical structure of QFT. The author argues that philosophical categories are significant only if they play active and essential roles in our knowledge and hence constitute part of the theories in actual use. Thus she regards physical theories as primary, extracts their categorical structure, and uses it to rethink key philosophical questions. Among the questions this book tries to answer are: What are the quantum properties independent of measurements? How do we refer to individual things in a continuous field? How do theories relate to objects? What are the general conditions of the world and of our ways of thinking that make possible our knowledge of the microscopic realm, which is so intangible and counterintuitive? As a penetrating analysis of vital themes in contemporary science, the book will engage the interest of students and professionals in physics and philosophy alike.
Customer Reviews:
Some good ideas, but mostly unreadable.......2007-08-25
This book contains some good ideas, but large parts of it are too hard for me to get anything out of, both due to an assumption that the reader knows a good deal about quantum mechanics and due to a style which probably requires rereading most parts multiple times in order to decipher even those parts which don't require an understanding of quantum mechanics.
I was impressed by her explanation of how we should understand the uncertainty of position and momentum measurements. She says the quantum entities have genuine deterministic properties, but we shouldn't try to think of position and momentum as properties of any persistent entities. They are properties associated with specific measurements. The properties of persistent entities such as atoms are mostly stranger than what we can measure, and measurements only give us indirect evidence of those properties.
Her descriptions of coordinate systems used in quantum physics seem inconsistent with the impressions I got from Smolin's Trouble with Physics. Smolin implies (but doesn't clearly state) that quantum theory retains Newtonian background dependent coordinates. Auyang's descriptions of quantum coordinate systems seem very different. It's clear that I've only scratched the surface of what's needed to understand these issues.
Interesting subject - impossible to read........2006-07-12
It seems the author has deliberately chosen obscure terms to convey her thoughts. This book may suit an extremely narrow subset of readers, perhaps only those who are research scientists.
Selecting one line at random, as an example - 'The austere logical structures of many epistemological theories do not allow analysis of the concept of emperical objects'. end quote.
While the author may be a qualified scientist, I found her method of expressing ideas more likely to confuse than enlighten.
The title is brilliant; The subject matter has the potential for very wide appeal - opportunity lost by incomprehensible delivery.
A refreshing alternative to the usual philosophical doctrine.......2002-08-30
This book, very insightful into the intricacies of quantum field theory, is not based on what one might call the "standard assumption" of the philosophy of science, namely that science has an underlying foundation, that it is in a sense a derived collection of knowledge that needs "justification" philosophically. Indeed, the usual attitude in the philosophy of science is that a theory is only "possible" if its formalism is laid bare and shown to satisfy some essential philosophical assumptions. The predictions of a theory are not by themselves its justification, as this would presuppose too much of a "commonsense" attitude, and such an attitude is eschewed by philosophers of science.
But of course there is another outlook on science that is not held by any of the modern doctrines in the philosophy of science. This is one in which science is not assumed to need an underlying philosophical justification, that it is its own justification, and the goal of philosophy should be in discovering what this assumption says about philosophy. For example, what theories of mind and reality are entailed by quantum field theory? Do the invariance principles used in quantum field theory say anything about epistemology? Quantum field theory is rich in concepts and uses very sophisticated mathematical constructions, and it has, via the ingenuity of experimentalists, resulted in real predictions that are as of yet unrivaled by any other physical theory. Can one build an interesting philosophical structure, complete with a metaphysics and a nontrivial epistemology, using the assumptions and structure of quantum field theory?
In large measure, the author of this book does take this approach, and she is clearly not attempting to justify quantum field theory from the standpoint of the standard assumption. This is a unique and refreshing approach, and the book is a highly interesting one, as one can gain, as a bare minimum, a siginificant amount of understanding into the subtleties of quantum field theory. In addition, the analysis that the author has given is a positive one for quantum field theory. She assumes the existence of what could be characterized as 'epistemic fixed points' (my words here) in our ability to categorize phenomena in the microrealm. Also, she argues, a philosophical foundation for quantum field theory must deal with their success in actual practice. The author assumes from the start that quantum field theory gives us knowledge of the microrealm, and answers to the questions of the meaning of objects in this realm can be found within the theory of quantum fields itself. And, even more refreshing, she states that quantum field theory still requires the assistance of common sense, in order to apply the theory and derive meaning from experimental data.
The author has indeed done a fine job here, and has given the scientific and philosophical community a book that is an alternative to the usual philosophical standards. She describes and justifies a reality that humans can indeed understand via the framework of quantum field theory. This understanding takes place with concepts and constructions that might at first seem alien from a 'classical' perspective, but when one puts on the right epistemic glasses, things become clearer and the seemingly odd behavior in the microrealm becomes very natural and philosophically sound.
A good but difficult book........2001-03-22
This book is intended to people who already have some knowledge of quantum field theory (QFT), at least in a qualitative level. Someone who has never read or listened anything about the matter will have serious difficults to follow the ideas contained in the book. A previous knowledge of philosophy is not so necessary but maybe desirable because it is exhaustively discuted and, in general, the required concepts are explained inside the text. However, the text begins to become more and more complicated and, sometimes, boring as the philosophical discussions, which englobe Kant, Humes, Leibnitz and others, become deeper. The book will interest people who wants to study the philosophy of QFT, but do not expect to acquire mathematical or technical knowledge about the matter except for some good appendices that try to explain in a relatively simple way things as fiber bundles and probability measures. In summary, it is neither a technical book in QFT nor a book for the public in general, it is a primary serious attempt to fit QFT in a philosophical framework. It is worth to read, but only if you are prepared for a very difficult task..
Book Description
Biographies, poetic compositions, works that are mystical, prophetic, visionary, or meditative: the selections here reflect the developments in medieval piety, particularly in the link between female spirituality and the body. Included are the dramatic visionary writings of Hildegard of Bingen; letters and poems by Hadewijch expressing passionate love for God; and Marguerite Porete's allegorical poem "The Mirror of Simple Souls," a dialogue between Love and Soul that was condemned as heretical. Also included are biographies written by male ecclesiastics of women such as Christine the Astonishing, whose extraordinary behavior included being resurrected at her own funeral; revelations received by Bridget of Sweden, the first woman to found a religious order; and excerpts from The Book of Margery Kempe, in which Margery imagines herself as a servant caring for the Virgin Mary in her childhood.
This volume, edited by Elizabeth Spearing, who also prepared some of the translations, features a rich introduction to the lives and religious experiences of its subjects, as well as full explanatory notes.
