* "Professor Plucknett has such a solid reputation on both sides of the Atlantic that one expects from his pen only what is scholarly and accurate...Nor is the expectation likely to be disappointed in this book. Plucknett's book is not...a mere epitome of what is to be found elsewhere. He has explored on his own account many regions of legal history and, even where the ground has been already quartered, he has fresh methods of mapping it. The title which he has chosen is, in view of the contents of the volume, rather a narrow one. It might equally well have been A Concise History of English Law...In conjunction with Readings on the History and System of the Common Law by Dean Pound...this book will give an excellent grounding to the student of English legal history." Percy H. Winfield. Harv. L. Rev. 43:339-340.

Excellent overview of an often complex history.......1999-03-10

I recently ordered this book from Amazon. I had been looking for a more concise rather than lengthy explanation for many of the legal mechanisms and principles we enjoy (endure?) today. Without question, the "History of the Common Law" goes far to do just that. It is well organized and deftly written. I am reluctant to admit this about a history of law, but I confess that I found it hard to put down. Forty years after publication, the book remains a pillar and outstanding guide to our legal heritage

Our legal heritage.......1997-12-25

While it has been many years since I read this book, I recommend it to any who have an interest in our common law legal heritage. Of particular interest was the part of the book that explained the political genius of the Normans who instituted a much superior system of courts throughout England that replaced the manorial courts. These courts made available a body of law "common" to all of England and supplanted what could only have been a patchwork of arbitrary rules and procedures. If the Normans achieved an astounding political legitimacy after invading England with this stroke of genius, consider what is happening in the United States as our legal system gradually transforms itself into a dominant central government and weak state governments serving only as administrative units of that central government, and otherwise becomes an instrument of extortion.

Book Description

Leading infectious disease researchers and pharmaceutical scientists comprehensively review the latest genomic technologies and their application to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The authors' cross-disciplinary approach, with expertise acquired from studying disease-causing viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, reveals how sequence information from diverse pathogens has uncovered novel targets for drug discovery, antigenic determinants for vaccine development, as well as diagnostic tools. The authors also discuss the application of DNA micoarrays and the impact of genome sequencing comparisons on the discovery and choices of novel drug targets. The result is a better understanding how genomic information can reveal the fundamentals of microbial pathogenesis and how organisms interact with their host environment.

original papers - what more can you ask for?.......2007-02-11

The book contains the original papers on quantum electrodynamics. It is is fascinating to see how the minds of these physicists work, in particular, since the authors include several Nobel Price winners. The difference between Schwinger and Feynmann is the very interesting, one is mathematical and the other is intuitive, but both were completely correct! Dyson's paper where he shows that both theories are the same is a classic. An excellent reference for learning QED and for the history.

Quantum electrodynamics:meet the heroes!.......1998-07-24

This is a collection of fundamental papers on quantum electrodynamics, starting from the very first, by Dirac, and going to the paper by G. Kallen showing that at least one of the renormalization constants is infinite (this paper has been called "poetry in quantum field theory"). This is invaluable for the historian, but much more, I think, for the student and, yet more, for the researcher. These days the students learn these things in classroom. This is all right, but it is only in the good pioneering papers that you find the reasons for the choices made, motivations for treating the problem and a full explanation of what is being done and why it would be wrong to follow that other, seemingly much more natural, way. As examples, you'll find here four of the greatest papers by Feynman. If you think Feynman wrote well because you read his popular books, wait till you read his scientific works! There is also the monumental paper by Dyson, where the founding pape! rs of Tomonaga, Schwinger and Feynman are made to coalesce into the beautiful formulation that, afterwards, was repeated in all textbooks. My favorite paper is the great "On gauge invariance and vacuum polarization", by Julian Schwinger, a masterpiece of insight, style, and incredible virtuosity, a paper that still gives rise to original research. The preface by Schwinger is a must for understanding the origin and early development of our main tool in theoretical physics: quantum field theory.

Book Description

This book offers a unique compilation of papers in mathematics and physics from Freeman Dyson's 50 years of activity and research. These are the papers that Dyson considers most worthy of preserving, and many of them are classics. The papers are accompanied by commentary explaining the context from which they originated and the subsequent history of the problems that either were solved or left unsolved. This collection offers a connected narrative of the developments in mathematics and physics in which the author was involved, beginning with his professional life as a student of G. H. Hardy.

Freeman Dyson's Garden.......1998-07-26

Some time ago the great physicist Chen Ning Yang had the brilliant idea of including, in a book of his selected works, his own comments on the papers and on the circumstances of their making. The idea was very successful, and gives birth now to this wonderful volume "Selected Papers of Freeman Dyson". The Dyson collection is a joy to read (he is a fine writer, both sacred and profane) not only by the quality, but also by the variety of his scientific production (only his scientific works are included). Perhaps you don't know, but, before becoming a physicist, Dyson had made his mark in mathematics, when still a student, to the point that, when he arrived at Cornell to study under Bethe, he was preceded by a recommendation letter written by Littlewood telling that he (Dyson) "is the best mathematician in England".Accordingly, the first papers of the collection are mathematical. Then comes the series of papers on quantum field theory which made his nam! e in physics. At a comment we learn the circumnstances under which it became possible for him to coalesce into one paper the three extant versions of QED, Schwinger's, Feynman's and Tomonaga's, which looked like different theories. The great paper "The Radiation Theories of Tomonaga, Schwinger, and Feynman" and a set of lecture notes based on it taught the new wisdom in QED to generations of physicists. Concerning physics I think, however, that his greatest work is the series of papers which proved the stability of matter tied by Coulomb interaction, which, besides its enormous intrinsic value, opened a new area of theoretical physics, where "hard analysis" was crucial, and that, perhaps, culminated with the paper of Lieb-Thirring (Lieb writes a beautiful Foreword for the volume). To give you a taste, the Contents include papers on Number Theory, Analysis, Topology, General Mathematics (including a paper beautifully entitled "A Walk Through Ramanujan's! Garden"), Quantum Electrodynamics, Field Theory (of J! ost-Lehman-Dyson fame), Statistical Mechanics, Random Matrices, Stability of Matter, Gravitation, Variation of the Fundamental Constants (triggered by Dirac's conjecture on the abnormally small size of the gravitational coupling constant), Scattering Theory, General Physics (including "Feynman's Proof of the Maxwell Equations",by which, alone, I would have bought the book), Engineering and Biology. And, in a comment, Dyson's medicine against depression: reading Ramanujan's "Notebooks" and trying to prove some of his conjectures. This is a very great book., Either buy it or ferociously fight so that the library nearest to you do it.

Critical but excellent.......2004-11-23

Kellner is highly critical of Baudrillard's turn from Marxist/political solutions to a kind of techno-nihilism but the book is a great review and analysis of Baudrillard's work; it is much easier to read this book with many passages from Baudrillard's own writings with Kellner's critical but complete commentaries than to read some of the horribly translated works of Baudrillard out there. Baudrillard read's more like a sci-fi dystopian at times-his theory of the code and his use of the term Matrix (pre-movie) is very interesting stuff. This is a great introduction to a cutting edge philosophy that provocatively analyzes our current capitalistic and media saturated society.
