                Book Description

                This book seeks to provide a fully comprehensive and systematic account of Durkheim’s legal theory. Indeed, because his writings on law and on the sociology of law are scattered throughout his work, this book is in fact the first attempt in English to provide a detailed analysis of the entirety of Durkheim’s legal thought.

                The author argues that for Durkheim legal questions and moral questions were ultimately inseparable—not so much because law and morality cannot be analytically disentangled (as some legal philosophers argue), as because morality is embodied in the conditions of social life, the rules for which are articulated by law. Thus, for Durkheim, the study of law was an absolutely essential and central part of the sociological enterprise.

                Law aspires to express the moral commitments of people living in many different kinds of relationships of community, reflecting the values of those whose life it regulates. Durkheim’s writings have a parallel aspiration: they use history, ethnography, and social theory to uncover the intricate and shifting moral foundations of law—foundations uncovered empirically by studying the social phenomena in which they reside, and by understanding the nature of those phenomena and the conditions of their being.

                      3 out of 5 stars Not a bad reference book for astrophysics students.......2007-09-14

                      This book is an ok reference book, if you've already seen the material in the book. The price is way too high. Whatever you do don't pay 180 bucks for this book. The preliminary section is weirdly way harder than the main text of the book. I had as my freshman astrophysics course text book and nearly dropped the course because the prelimary section was so scary. My biggest problem is the book uses MKS not CGS units. This would make the book more acessible to the reader with a physics (but no astronomy) background, but only does a disservice to the reader who wishes to use this book as a bridge to more advanced astronomical literature.

                      5 out of 5 stars Intro to Astronomy.......2007-01-11

                      Nicely written textbook for the first year student in astronomy and astrophysics. Clearly written.

                      1 out of 5 stars DO NOT USE THIS.......2005-02-24

                      This book BLOWS. It's the WORST book I've EVER used in a physics-related course. There are several different values given for the same thing all over the place, equations frequently lack units, and the explanations just plain suck. Don't use this unless you have to.

                      5 out of 5 stars An excellent introductory book in astronomy/astrophysics.......2003-12-11

                      I used this book in an independent study class in astronomy and astrophysics while I was an undergraduate. With the exception of the some errors in the equations in the opacity section I found this book to be clearly written and not too difficult. You will need to know your college physics and some math but that should be expected since this is not a descriptive text. If you want a descriptive astronomy text search elsewhere, if you want an introductory astrophysics text this is a good choice.

                      3 out of 5 stars good if you know whats up.......2003-09-04

                      i think this book is good if you already know a bit about astronomy and physics. it covers the topics it wants to very well, and very in depth. however, it has no logical sequencing of the chapters, and thus is a wonderful reference text, but not so great when it comes to learning in a call

                        Product Description

                        The space vehicle spectaculars of recent years have been revealing the full scope and beauty of our own solar system but have also shown that a growing number of other stars too have planetary bodies orbiting around them. The study of these systems is just beginning. It seems that our galaxy contains untold numbers of planets, and presumably other galaxies will be similar to our own. Our solar system contains life, on Earth: do others as well? Such questions excite modern planetary scientists and astro-biologists. This situation is a far cry from ancient times when the five planets that can be seen from Earth without a telescope were called the "wandering stars". This notebook-cum-workbook provides an introduction to those profound and still-developing modern studies. Written by an expert in the field, it is pitched at a level suitable for beginning students. It is designed particularly for self-study but can also provide background support for students attending lecture courses or teachers developing such courses. The reader is encouraged to add to the arguments of the book as the subject develops. A special feature here is a substantial glossary of terms and people which serves as a starting point for further entries. Wandering Stars is a key to unlock the door to an exciting and fascinating universe which is still the object of active discovery.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A great text.......2007-09-29

                                    this is a great text for the undergraduate and graduate student as well as researcher in the colloids, polymers, and surface science field. It has the math that gives you the insight to apply to industrial or lab experiments and provides as a good reference for the experienced scientist/engineer. Excellent buy and worth every dollar.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2000-08-04

                                    Note: writing below review based on my perusing the first edition, which is not significantly different than the second, except for the aforementioned added chapter, IMO.

                                    Particularly liked the "Concept Map" at the beginning of each chapter - this tells me what I can find in each chapter and gives me a good overview of where to find what (more than any Table of Contents can).

                                    Could have done with a chapter on various analytical and experimental tools used to study colloids. This is done briefly in the chapter on bilayers but the spectrum of available tools in studying colloids, micelles, and other structures in this domain would serve the reader well and complete the book, so to speak. In any case, this is one of the books I'd like to buy soon.

                                              Around 1990
                                              with The Nation in mind, the
                                              pundit named Trillin
                                              determined he was willin'
                                              to mine politics' grapevine
                                              and write verse on deadline.
                                              His first inspiration was the sound of Sununu.
                                              From there he lambasted, oh, who knew who:
                                              A bachelor named Souter, a court nominee supreme,
                                              Ron, George, and "SAD-dam," and gun nuts extreme;
                                              Jesse and Mario, Bill, Bob, and Paul,
                                              candidates and may-have-beens, one and all;
                                              Bush, we're reminded, lost his lunch in Japan--
                                              not nearly as horrifying as Quayle comma Dan.
                                              Calvin, he thrills at the Texan Perot,
                                              for the rhymingest name on the season's ballot.
                                              The new era was Democrat, with Clinton and Gore.
                                              One still has Bubba fat; the other's a bore.
                                              No one escapes Trillin's sharp, sharp-honed wit,
                                              Excepting the reader, for whom the laughs just don't quit.

                                              Where the hell is Henry K., but let's call him "Hank" Maybe discussing his IQ with "so new nue" Or waiting in line at the humility bank?

                                              5 out of 5 stars wonderful.......1998-07-04

                                              I wish I could write this review in verse. That is what the book really calls for. Failing that I will simply say that the only trouble with this book is that you find yourself annoying everyone around you by constantly reading it aloud. It should not be missed.
