Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (4th Edition)
ASIN: 0750625880 |
Book Description
This highly illustrated student guide introduces the skills of interpreting a geological map and relating it to the morphology of the most important types of geological structure. Thoroughly revised, and with more international examples, it is ideal for use by students with a minimum of tutorial supervision.
Photographs of structures are set alongside their representations on maps. The maps used in exercises have been chosen to provide all of the realism of a survey map without the huge amount of data often present, so that students can develop skills without becoming overwhelmed or confused. In particular, emphasis is placed throughout on developing the skill of three-dimensional visualization so important to the geologist.
* Successful practical guide provides a solid introduction to the subject of geological maps
* Fully revised edition includes more international examples to increase the breadth of your knowledge
* Illustrations and end of chapter questions make this an ideal tool to aid self-guided study

Theory of Heat (Dover Books on Physics)
ASIN: 1402030150 |
Book Description
The second law of thermodynamics is considered one of the central laws of science, engineering and technology. For over a century it has been assumed to be inviolable by the scientific community. Over the last 10-20 years, however, more than two dozen challenges to it have appeared in the physical literature - more than during any other period in its 150-year history. The number and variety of these represent a cogent threat to its absolute status. This is the first book to document and critique these modern challenges. Written by two leading exponents of this rapidly emerging field, it covers the theoretical and experimental aspects of principal challenges. In addition, unresolved foundational issues concerning entropy and the second law are explored. This book should be of interest to anyone whose work or research is touched by the second law.
Book Description
She's smart. She's savvy. She's...well, she's working on the thighs. And with God as her witness, she'll never let that man spoil her happy ending!
Phoebe Grant is everyone's favorite movie geek-unbeatable at trivia, convinced that all the world's a movie screen. She can organize a four-hankie chick-flickathon with a wave of her tall, nonfat, double mocha. And she's a shoo-in for the job of her dreams-movie reviewer for the newpaper where she works.
Enter Alex Spencer-not only gorgeous but also a film buff, perfectly cast for a celluloid kiss and a fade to sunset. Unfortunately, Alex is the villain who sends Phoebe packing to the last place on earth she wants to be-back home to boring little Barley, California.
But wait. It couldn't be. Dark, handsome, and annoying Alex...in Barley?
Can Phoebe protect her hometown-and her heart-and prove
It's a Wonderful Life? Or is her promising future truly
Gone with the Wind?

Overrated Self-Opinion, Sparse Characters - Ultimately Pointless.......2007-09-29
I had bought this book already when a friend said she's read it and hadn't enjoyed it. I see why. It's formulaic, but then what isn't? The problem is, that other (good) formula books, like "What a Girl Wants" by Kristin Billerbeck, still have their own voice. Phoebe Grant's running monologue never seems authentic; everything from her random shopping references to her complaints about weight gain seem like the writing was on a timer: "every three pages, we mention relationships, every 1 1/2 we mention diets/thighs, every second paragraph is an ill-timed movie reference, and we should never go more than 15 minutes without mentioning a brand name." It's not that there's not enough story or that there are too many or too few characters. Everything just seems shallow and badly planned; it's there because it is supposed to be according to the recipe, not because the story moves in that direction. The jokes, the descriptions, the hah-ha scenarios were all stale and rote.
The biggest problem, aside from weak development, is that the main character is so unlikeable. Honestly, Phoebe is a bizarrely hysterical, judgmental shrew, and it is impossible for me to fathom that anyone would want to be around her at the end of the book. She flies off the handle at some poor guy (hero Alex) because months and months before she lost her job after a buyout. And his family company had done the buying. So, of course, all evil springs from him, he has nothing but personally malicious motives for every action, and she can misinterpret everything as a design to make her miserable. (He gave to a save-the-theater charity? That man is trying to buy the town and make it into Potterville! Burn him at the stake!) She has a strange aversion to her mom because she's a country town homemaker who apparently kept her dad back from Broadway-style, big-city living - but that won't happen to her! She lives in Cleveland! She has worked as a reporter for less than a year (despite being over 30), but is convinced that she is cut out to write for the New York Times, and any smaller paper is beneath her.
So the three strikes are poor plot and character development, unlikable heroine, and a painfully unfunny, forced style. It is certainly not the worst book I've ever plowed through, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Fun Read.......2007-01-07
Here is a fun book to read if you want some good Christian entertainment. I appreciated the clean and wholesome atomosphere found in this book. If you love movies you will enjoy the references to many. It would be fun to read a sequel to this one.
Good, but "God-y".......2006-12-11
I would love this book a lot more if it wasn't so relgiousy. It's not enough to make me stop reading, but it just makes me roll my eyes from time to time. It's cute, a liiiitttle too clean, but not bad.
yay for movie buffs!.......2006-09-30
I will not lie. I am a movie trivia buff and I am proud of it. I watch the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes every year (would watch the SAG awards but alas i don't cable). i love all sorts of movies (hence why i would include movies on that deserted island of mine). Therefore Phoebe Grant would prally be my new best friend. Out of all the chick lit books I've read so far, this is far and away my new favorite book. Funny, touching, and with TONS of movie references I didnt want the book to end (and yay there's a sequel). Phoebe is a working class woman who is not afraid to be single. Movies and her friends are the source of her life, until she loses her job in Cleveland and is forced to go back home to help her mom out in her small town in California. The characters are multi-dimensional and FUN! I honestly never had so much fun reading a book. I feel like I'm gushing too much about it! Her reactions and emotions are perfectly reasonably in certain situations. And she eats! And while yes she would like to lose weight, she is not obsessive about it, like other characters in other books. She is also not in search of finding a husband. If one turns out, great, if not she'll live. And yes Phoebe is a Christian, but the book is not preachy at all. My only complaint is that the book came out before the 2005 edition of Pride & Prejudice with Kiera Knightley. I'm sure Phoebe would have loved it too! Great books, highly highly recommended.
My first Christian chicklit .......2006-07-03
Laura Jensen Walker's debut novel features Phoebe Grant, a thirty-one year old movie junkie and journalism graduate who writes obituaries (obits) at the Cleveland Star, goes on blind dates and a member of the No More Lone Rangers singles group at her Presbyterian church. She knows and can quote from any movie (especially Casablanca), and she dreams of being the newspaper's movie reviewer. She knew she was a shoo-in for it, but then things take another turn that involves a handsome guy (who also happens to be a newcomer at her church) named Alex Spencer that leaves her jobless. With the help and support of her best friend Lindsey, she looks for temporary jobs to make a living. With more turn of events, she ends up having to go home to "boring little" Barley, California, to help her mother who broke both arms, not showing up in a blind date with a potential guy.
Phoebe couldn't wait to get out of her hometown because she knows she's made for the big city, so she keeps in her mind that her stay in Barley was only temporary. However, God has other plans for her as she falls in love with her hometown again as she works to save the town's theater (which houses most of her childhood memories with her late dad) from being closed down.
It's definitely a breathe of fresh air from all the novels I've read in the past years. It has a light atmosphere of Shopaholic or Sloppy Firsts (Megan McCafferty) but less of the darkness and ominous atmosphere that Peretti novels have. It features a normal single woman with her struggles that could well happen to anyone, including me. It was refreshing to read a woman praying (seriously) as well as reading the Bible and being pure and trying to be content with her singlehood (haha, I can definitely relate).
The novel tackles some of the issues that everyone goes through: looking for the perfect job, being single in the midst of couples, family conflicts, friendships and God's plan unfolding in the midst of everything. Phoebe Grant is so normal (except for her movie-madness) that I could easily see myself in her shoes (and that's a lot of shoes ha). :P
I read this book overnight, and I loved every bit of it. It also makes me want to watch the old movies mentioned in the book. :) Though some of the events and mysteries in a book are a bit predictable, it still leaves a warm and fuzzy feeling inside as everything unfolds. :)
Dreaming in Black and White is a great novel, and I recommend it to chick lit lovers as well as Christian fiction fans. =)
