    4 out of 5 stars the shortcut for rocket scientists........2006-03-21

    During my painful thesis writting, I read this book in order to get some relaxation together with Hull's book. If you are a rocket scientist, such as a struggeling ph.d candidata like me, you will find Hull's book is useful but simplified. This book is quite helpful to me because I used PDE. Statistic, SDE, numerical method here and there and in the book, Seydel shows how to put these skills together and how to solve problems.

    3 out of 5 stars Worth reading, but..........2003-09-08

    Seydel is at a level of sophistication comparable to Wilmott et al. (2000). Indeed, it makes a lot of sense to read both books side-by-side. While Wilmott focuses exclusively on "differential equation methods" of financial engineering, Seidel takes a more balanced approach. The two books complement each other well.

    The main part of this book is focused on methods of how to value american vanilla options. He does this only in the diffusion transformed version of B&S. He starts with the equation in this form, without mentioning much of how to get there, and why. And thats typical for the rest of the book aswell, much of it is "cookery book form" (even if the book contains lots of usefull references in the endchapter). He discusses several ways of solving PDE:s, mainly implicit/explicit/Crank N and then there is a very introductory chapter on FEM. The discussion on stability issues is to brief (and not to understandable), I'd say (Tavella does this much more elegant). In the endchapter he discusses how to value exotic options (using asian as a case), and concludes that the methods ealier in the book isnt of much use, but as the author says this is an introductory book.

    Book Description

    "With All Deliberate Speed is just wonderful. It gives the reader fascinating insights into the Roosevelt era, the Supreme Court, the Justice Department. It is funny, and endearingly human. Three cheers!"
    -Anthony Lewis, New York Times columnist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning
    author of Gideon's Trumpet

    "The fascinating, eloquent, and skillfully edited oral memoir of a distinguished public servant, who was at the epicenter of major legal controversies that his memoir illuminates. A major contribution to modern American legal history."
    -Richard A. Posner

    "With All Deliberate Speed provides an insider's rich account, spanning over thirty years, of the inner workings of the Supreme Court, the Solicitor General's Office and the Federal Trade Commission that anyone seriously interested in a frank behind-the-scenes view of the federal government should find exceptionally provocative and intriguing"
    -Drew Days III, Alfred M. Rankin Professor of Law, Yale University, and former Solicitor General of the United States, 1993-96


    From a modest childhood in Patterson, N. J., Philip Elman rose to become clerk for the great Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, and then to a position in the U.S. Solicitor General's Office. As a member of that office, Philip Elman had an exceptional vantage point on one of the most momentous cases in U.S. Supreme Court history: Brown v. Board of Education.

    In this oral history memoir of Elman's life, With All Deliberate Speed, author Norman I. Silber reveals the maneuvering that led to the Court's overturning the doctrine of "separate but equal." Working behind the scenes, it was Justice Department attorney Elman who came up with the concept of gradual integration-an idea that worked its way into the final decision as the famous phrase "with all deliberate speed." Though this expression angered those pressing for immediate desegregation, Elman claims that it unified a divided Court, thus enabling them to stand together against the evil of segregation.

    With All Deliberate Speed records a decisive moment in Supreme Court history, but it is also Philip Elman's unforgettable oral memoir-the story of his entire career in government service, including his work with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy as commissioner of the FTC, and his role in founding the modern consumer protection movement, which includes the antismoking campaign that put the Surgeon General's warning on cigarette packs.

    At once rich historical testimony and a gripping read, With All Deliberate Speed offers a rarely glimpsed insider's understanding of the politics of the American legal system.

    5 out of 5 stars A View of Brown from the Solicitor General's Office.......2004-06-04

    Norman Silber's With All Deliberate Speed is a highly entertaining and informative presentation of Philip Elman's oral memoir. Silber's commentary, which he appends to the end of each chapter includes background material that is especially useful for readers who have only passing acquaintance with the dramatic doings of the Supreme Court during the 1940s, `50s and `60s, including brief summaries and citations of cases Elman refers to, as well as bibliographical material. The high-point of the book is Elman's recounting of his close relationship-perhaps improper ex parte relationship-with Felix Frankfurter and with his and their role in bringing about the inclusion of the phrase "with all deliberate speed" in Brown v. Board of Education. The beginning few chapters consist of Ellman's telling of his time at City College of New York and then at Harvard Law School, at which he first met Frankfurter. In the middle chapters, he recalls his two years as Frankfurter's clerk and his seventeen years in the Solicitor General's office, during which time he retained his intimate close relationship with Frankfurter. Elman's apparent comfort with Frankfurter's thinking of him as "his lifetime law clerk" is perhaps the most revealing mark of his character. The last few chapters recount Elman's work as an often dissident member of the Federal Trade Commission.
    Much of the material concerning the Brown-case has already been published by Silber (and Elman) in the Harvard Law Review (100) 1987, 817-52. The current book, however, has the advantage of including Elman's discussion of the criticism of both Elman and Frankurter that arose as a result of that publication, especially concerning the propriety of Elman's substantive discussion of the case with Frankfurter, as well as of his belittling of the case presented by Thurgood Marhall.
    It was through his frequent conversations with Frankfurter that Elman came to believe that the case could not be won without including in some fashion a proviso that would give the states time to prepare for integrated schools. Such a proviso, of course, is highly unusual. Those deprived of their constitutional rights are entitled to immediate relief. Moreover, as might well have been expected, the result of including such a proviso was lengthy delay and prolonged social turmoil. It is a humbling dilemma, and this reader deeply appreciates the opportunity to consider the thinking that led some of the key players to their decision.

    5 out of 5 stars An Interesting Perspective on Brown v. Board of Education.......2004-05-05

    While this fascinating book covers a number of interesting topics -- whether it be Harvard Law School in the 1930's; clerking for Felix Frankfurter; a long and distinguished tenure in the Solicitor General's office; or service as an activist FTC Commissioner -- probably the most significant issue is the relationship between Philip Elman and Justice Frankfurter during the Supreme Court's consideration of the Brown case. In 1987, when Harvard Law Review published excerpts from the oral history interviews upon which the book draws, quite a storm of controversy arose over ex parte contacts between Elman (then in the SG's office) and the Justice. Elman always defended himself as Frankfurter's "law clerk for life" and argued that the contacts occurred before the government knew it would enter the case. Others, such as Professors Randall Kennedy and Andrew Kaufman, were highly critical. Whether or not such contact was inappropriate, the book offers an invaluable insight into the hammering out of Brown. A helpful "Afterword" discusses the controversy. The editor's outstanding and extensive notes add a great deal to the significant contributions of this volume.

    5 out of 5 stars A captivating story from inside American history.......2004-05-01

    If you don't know who Philip Elman is, don't let that deter you. This is a fascinating book.

    Elman, as it turns out--and as the cover photo suggests--was present for some of the greatest moments in mid-20th century American history. After clerking for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter--one of the greatest legal minds ever to sit on the court--Elman became a government attorney. He first worked on the denazification effort in Germany after WWII, then became a key player in many of the earliest civil rights cases of the 1940s and '50s. It was then that he helped determine history with his work on Brown vs. Board of Education, writing the government brief that first devised the notion of gradual desegregation. This was a very controversial position. Elman claims that proposing a gradualist solution was the only way to get the Court to decide in favor of desegregation. Others (including well-known scholars such as Randall Kennedy) have vigorously objected to this claim, insisting that gradualism sold out an entire generation of young black people, who were left with a handshake and a promise.

    Elman went on from the solicitor general's office to become a commissioner of the FTC, where he pioneered the consumer protection movement (he helped devise the now-famous health warning on cigarette packs). But the Brown material is really the heart of his story, and the moment at which, for good or ill, Philip Elman helped to shape the future of American liberalism and civil rights.

    This book is well-written, even funny at times, is well-documented without seeming academic, and makes for an enjoyable and fascinating read. I wish they had titled it in a way that made the subject's importance more clear, but this is really a minor quibble.

          Book Description

          This book focuses on the dynamical processes influencing the structure of coral communities, some of the most biologically diverse communities on earth. A variety of biological and physical processes operating across an enormous range of spatiotemporal scales are highlighted (e.g., niche partitioning, biological interactions, disturbance phenomena, large-scale tectonic, eustatic, climatic, and oceanographic processes). The focus on the community provides a framework for presenting some of the best examples from the literature using multiple taxonomic groups (e.g., corals, fishes, encrusting invertebrates).

              Book Description

              The surface characterizations of engineering materials effects their scratch/abrasion/Mar resistance, coating adhesion/strength, and abrasive wear mechanism.
              Scratching of Materials and Applications has chapters devoted to direct industrial application and contains some of the important works that are being conducted. Scratch testing of materials has grown extensively since the earlier days of the Mohs Scale for ranking minerals according to their relative scratch resistance. This test has been used on metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers and coatings of various types and thicknesses.
              The chapters are grouped according to the type of the engineering materials used. The beginning chapters relate mostly to bulk polymers, which are followed by different types of coatings (hard wear resistant to the diamond-like carbon coatings) and finally, chapters on the application of scratching technique to metals and ceramics are included at the end of the book. Thus, the book covers a fairly wide spectrum of engineering materials which are useful to engineers and researchers.

                Growing demands for plastics occur in many industries and resulted in the development of new technologies associated with paintability of plastics. Due to the fact that painting plastics requires extensive knowledge not only of paints but also of substrates, this monograph provides an overview of plastics paintability in a context of molding processes. This book is designed to serve those who are interested in painting plastic substrates, in particular, polypropylene, polyethylene, thermoplastic olefins, and many others. The book is written by a leading scientist in plastic industries and covers basic concepts of plastic processability along with its painting effectiveness. The coverage extends to all modern topics that are "a must" for engineers and chemists who are interested in coatings for plastics.

                  Book Description

                  This book is concerned with the configuration of polymers at the interfacial zone between two other phases or immiscible components. In recent years, developments in technology combined with increased attention from specialists in a wide range of fields have resulted in a considerable increase in our understanding of the behavior of polymers at interfaces. Inevitably these advances have generated a wealth of literature and although there have been numerous reviews, a critical treatment with adequate descriptions of both theory and experiment, including detailed analysis of the two, has been missing. This text hopes to fill this gap, providing a timely and comprehensive account of the field as it stands today.
                  This long needed work will be invaluable to experts as well as newcomers in the broad field of polymers, interfaces and colloids, both in industry and academia. Whilst industrial laboratories involved in this field will find it indispensable, it will be equally important to anyone with an interest in interfacial polymer or colloidal research.

                            Book Description

                            The authors illustrate the basic physics and materials science of conjugated polymers and their interfaces, particularly, but not exclusively, as they are applied to polymer-based light emitting diodes. The approach is to describe the basic physical and associated chemical principles that apply to these materials, which in many instances are different from those that apply to their inorganic counterparts. The main aim of the authors is to highlight specific issues and properties of polymer surfaces and interfaces that are relevant in the context of the emerging field of polymer-based electronics in general, and polymer-based light emitting diodes in particular. Both theoretical and experimental methods used in the study of these systems are discussed. This book will be of interest to graduate students and research workers in departments of physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials sciences studying polymer surfaces and interfaces and their application in polymer-based electronics.
