A Little Bit Of Everything.......2005-08-28

I teach a class in Planetary Atmospheres at the local state university (Arkansas). There is no dedicated text on planetary atmospheres for the non-expert, but you can take parts of this book and do pretty well. And that's the general theme of this book: it has at least a little bit of coverage on almost every aspect of the solar system. I think you could easily do the same thing for a class in planetary geology or solar system evolution or orbital dynamics or even a little biology. Nothing is explored in tremendous detail, but almost every sub-topic of the solar system receives good coverage. Geology is probablly the most-addressed topic.

The book is a great read to just learn about the solar system and how it got here, but you'll need a strong background in chemistry and physics to really understand it. It was one of my favorite books even before I was selected to teach this course.

Lewis' writing is folksy at time, and that's a good thing. Sometimes he's even funny. He gives some thorough overviews of the history of figuring out the various aspects of our solar system, such as the long history of figuring out the composition of the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. It's definitely not a dry book.

The one downside is probably not the author's fault: the photographs are very poorly reproduced. This is probably a publisher thing, but pictures that I know to be beautiful are reduced to grainy, low-res grayscale. Also, be careful which one you order: there is a first edition, a revised first edition and a second edition. You want the latter, although they are not vastly different from one another. The second edition has some color plates grouped together, and this helps.

I recommend this book enthusiastically for anyone with a technical background that wants to learn more about any aspect of the solar system.

A great book loaded with practical information........1998-07-29

Chapters: I. Introduction; II. Astronomical Perspective; III. General Description of the Solar System; IV. The Sun and the Solar Nebula; V. The Major Planets; VI. Pluto and the Icy Satellites of the Outer Planets; VII. Comets and Meteors; VIII. Meteorites and Asteroids; IX. The Airless Rocky Bodies: Io, Phobos, Deimos, the Moon, and Mercury; X. The Terrestrial Planets: Mars, Venus, and Earth; XI. Planets and Life about Other Stars; XII. Future Prospects; Appendices; Suggested Reading; Index

This book discusses the physics and chemistry of the Solar System in great detail. It assumes that the reader has completed one year of mathematics, physics, and chemistry at the university level. Appropriate physics and chemistry formulas and equations are sprinkled throughout the book. The focus is on practicality, not on rigorous derivation: Formulas are often introduced with a phrase like "It can be shown that...", though some key concepts are discussed in more math! ematical detail in the appendices. For the reader who wants more, the "Suggested Reading" section lists many more publications dealing with aspects of the subject matter of this book, ranging in intended readership between non-mathematical and professional scientific.

The text is informative and to the point. Inclusion of many results from recent space missions to various planets, asteroids, and comets is evident. The author includes many pictures (mostly in black and white) of (parts of) the planets and other discussed celestial bodies. Also included are a great number of plots and diagrams that illustrate points made in the text. Many provide specific information on characteristics of the materials being discussed. I particularly like these diagrams: A general discussion of, for instance, the different kinds of water ice is interesting in its own right, but the inclusion of a diagram where you can look up your own favorite combination of temperature and press! ure to find which kind of water ice exists under those cond! itions allows you to consider also many situations that are not explicitly treated in the text.

The book starts with a discussion that puts the Solar System in a wider astronomical context (involving galaxies and the universe at large), and ends (after extensive discussion of the members of the Solar System) with a discussion of the physics and chemistry of life and planets around other stars, and of the future prospects for answering remaining questions about our celestial neighbors. Some exercises are included at the end of each chapter.

The only negative point I found about this book is that it does not discuss the one topic I was looking for when I bought it: the physics of the shape of celestial bodies. For instance, why can Mars support much taller mountains that the Earth? How irregular can the shape be of a moon or asteroid, depending on its size? This certainly falls within the scope of the title. Nevertheless, the great wealth and practicality of the other i! nformation contained in this volume ensure that I do not at all regret buying it.

Precise and clear, but at a high level.......2004-06-17

I found this text be be very precise and clearly written. The greatest advantage it has over other texts on the subject is in the precision and clarity of the definitions. The focus is more toward fundamentals than applications however and is written at a high level. While this is an older book and consequently nothing in the way of new advancements in the field, all the seminal works on mass tranport are in the references. There are better texts out there for an undergraduate course (Welty et al. for example), however for a graduate level course, or for someone wanting a deeper understanding of the fundamental science, this book is outstanding. (I too had the author's class several years ago and learned much from it!)

Advanced, detailed, authoritative, but not easy.......2001-09-21

If you have ever felt annoyed at the imprecision with which other authors treat the concepts of mass transfer, then this book is recommended reading. For example, few authors treat the issue of averageing mass transfer coefficients (local, arithmetic mean, log-mean) with such care - in fact most authors simply ignore this issue altogether. I find this degree of detail more conducive to understanding than the tacit omissions in other books. The price to pay is of course complexity and this book requires a sound priming in mass transfer.

Good reference for advanced studies.......2001-06-25

Excellent review of fundamental laminar and turbulent mass transfer. Parts of the book are not suited for undergraduate study.

Sounds like the author reviewed this himself.......2000-06-02

I am pretty sure that the author sent the only positive review. That is pretty pathetic. This book was written with no rhyme or reason. There is no good progression of information or understandable sense to it all. One star is stretch. Plus, i am asian, and it was still hard for me-that is when you know it is bad.

Book Description

It is possible to "stretch" a liquid and, when suitably prepared, liquids are capable of sustaining substantial levels of tension, often for significant periods of time. These negative pressure states are metastable but can last for days - long enough for substantial experimental investigation. This volume is a review of recent and current research into the behaviour of liquids under negative pressure. Part I deals with the thermodynamics of stretched liquids. Part II discusses the physical and chemical behaviour of liquids under negative pressure. Part III contains papers on the effect of negative pressure on the solidification of a liquid. Part IV is devoted to stretched helium and Part V discusses cavitation in various stretched liquids. Part VI deals with the effect of foreign substances on cavitation.

Midnight Drive to Morning---What a Ride !.......2000-01-17

MORNING DRIVE TO MIDNIGHT By Renee Prewitt-Killingsworth

What a ride! Real life former radio personality, Renee Prewitt-Killingsworth's debut novel Morning Drive to Midnight delves into the day to day operations of radio. This story is complete with humor and backstabbing as well as insider revelations of the world of radio. The complete recipe for a page turner.

Using her story's character, Adrienne Daniels, a former female radio personality, driven by the need to bring back to life a Chicago radio station, that according to the numbers has been declared dead, connects with the reader from page one.

Adrienne Daniels, now a newly-appointed General Manager faces all the ridicule and challenges that beset most strong-willed and capable women who play the game with the big boys. And, she does it despite nicknames like Dragon Lady and constant challenges to her authority. Amazingly, she succeeds and keeps her spirituality in tact.

This author has delivered a powerful and compelling debut novel and it will be interesting to see how the radio community responds. Not since the scandal of payola during the fifties has an insider, like Ms. Prewitt-Killingsworth, so cleverly exposed the fun-yet seamy underbelly of a business called---radio. A must read!

A different kind of book!.......1999-12-19

This book is an excellent read. It's a lot better than your run of the mill novel. The focus shifts from the perspective of the main character to the others in a way you don't normally see. Very entertaining and highly recommended.

A refreshing change from the somebody done me wrong books........1999-09-09

"Morning drive to Midnight" by Renee Prewitt Killingsworth, was a good read. What a pleasant change from the girlfriend/relationship books. This story opens up the imagination to radio listeners as to what goes on behind the scenes. Adrienne is a strong character. The story didn't leave you hanging.

I kept expecting something to happen and it didn't.......1999-09-03

After reading this book I feel I know more about the workings of a radio station that I needed to know. I could see the plot, and kind of know where the author is going, but she just did not quite get there. There was this build up and I kept expecting something exciting to happen and it didn't.
