The best reference tool on the market.......2004-04-26

If you are searching for a job or job options you owe it to yourself to invest in this book. In my book, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality: solutions for a rewarding and meaningful career." I reference previous editions of this book.

In addition, most authors on the subject of job hunting and career use this information. The only problem is these references are not very comprehensive. If you want comprehensive information on the job out look this book is for. If you want to find your dream job invest in my book, "How to find your dream job and make it reality: solutions for a rewarding and meaningful career."

Good luck in your job search.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the sun, the powerhouse of our galaxy, sustaining life on earth, driving the weather, providing warmth and light--and, directly or indirectly, almost all the energy that plants and animals use.

Less a classic encyclopedia than a topic-by-topic textbook introducing readers to all things solar, astronomer Lang's compendium offers the very latest scientific views on a range of matters, from fundamental constants to the composition of sunlight, from the role of sunspots in terrestrial weather and human history to the methods scientists use to forecast such phenomena today, from the origins of the universe to days to come--when, 7 billion years from now, the "aging Sun will swell up to become a giant star," one that will spread to occupy the space the earth now occupies, and far beyond. Abundant photographs, charts, and line drawings, all very well made, accompany the text, which also includes a recent bibliography and a glossary of current terms.

Highly useful for students of astronomy and space science, this attractive volume will require little updating for years to come, and it serves as the best single general reference work on the subject. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description

The Sun is our powerhouse, sustaining life on Earth, energizing our planet, and fueling the engine of life. Its warmth drives our weather, lifting water from the seas, and producing winds that drive clouds over the continents. The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Sun is the fundamental, up-to-date reference source of information about this life-enhancing star, covering everything from basic facts to detailed concepts. Organized thematically, chapters feature: -the properties of the Sun as a star -the Sun's place in the Galaxy and the Universe -the science of the Sun's interior -the sun's visible disk -what makes the sun shine. Kenneth Lang also explains solar flares and the solar wind, and their impact on the Earth. Many full-color figures and photographs throughout the book make all the information highly accessible. Kenneth R. Lang is a professor of astronomy in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. He is the author of several astrophysics books including Wanderers in Space (Cambridge, 1991), Sun, Earth and Sky (Copernicus, 1997), and The Sun from Space (Springer Verlag, 2000).

What you should know about the nearest star.......2003-04-26

This is a very nice book that will be of interest both to amateur astronomers and people with good physics background. The author separated descriptive text from text with mathematical content and as a result one can choose to read in a depth appropriate to their background. The book is also very well illustrated with informative captions below each picture. It is clear that the author is enthusiastic about the subject. However, what I did not like was that almost 100 from the 250 pages are devoted to general astronomical concepts and a glossary. This material is good but I would prefer to read more details about the sun. If the introduction explained solar physics (such as magnetism, spectra) in much more detail then subsequent chapters would be understood even better. I recommend the book to all people with a serious interest in the physics of our star.

Book Description

Voted one of Christianity Today's 1998 Books of the Year!For decades, Christians have felt voiceless in the critical debate over evolution. Until now. Finally, ordinary Christians have the opportunity and the resources to defeat the false claims of Darwinism.With all of the complicated scientific debate swirling around the topic of evolution, Christians need an easy way to understand the basic issues without oversimplifying. Phillip Johnson has the answer: the key to defeating the false claims of Darwinism is to open our minds to good thinking habits. Here is first-rate advice on avoiding common mistakes in discussions about evolution, understanding the legacy of the Scopes trial, spotting deceptive arguments, and grasping the basic scientific issues without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.In the bestselling and critically acclaimed Darwin on Trial and Reason in the Balance, Phillip Johnson took on the academic elites and exposed the misleading claims of evolutionary naturalism. Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds provides a new and powerful treatment of these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors, youth advisors and ordinary readers. Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it in the right way-by opening minds to the truth.

Turning the baloney-detector on Philip Johnson.......2007-09-22

For someone who purports to build a case against evolution with a fair & open mind, Johnson sure stacks the deck by intentionally biased means. His primary techniques, repeated over & over, are: 1) quoting scientists out of context, & 2) lightly dismissing pro-evolution evidence that deserves serious consideration.

1. Our-of-context: It is not a secret, hidden from the public, that there are, & have been, mildly differing interpretations of the precise ways in which evolution works. The best known recent example of this is the proposal by Stephen Jay Gould & Niles Eldredge that the history of life on earth exhibits Puncuated Equilibria, as distinct from the incremental gradual changes that Charles Darwin envisioned. This hardly makes Stephen Jay Gould & Niles Eldredge anti-evolutionists. It does however allow Mr. Johnson to quote Niles Eldredge out of context, as if he were precisely an anti-evolutionist:

"No wonder paleontologists shied away from evolution for so long. It never seems to happen...that's how the fossil record has struck many a forelorn paleontologist looking to learn something about evolution." pp. 60-61.

Johnson oh so conveniently neglects to explain how Eldredge & Gould resolve this apparent dilemma in a manner that is perfectly consistent with neo-Darwinism, in fact in a manner that in my opinion (bolstered by my geology PhD) strengthens neo-Darwinism.

Similarly, Johnson abuses the work of Tim Berra (OSU zoology prof, pp. 62ff), George C. Williams (evolutionary biology prof, emer., Stony Brook; pp. 70ff.), and others.

Laymen may innocently misinterpret the healthy vigorous debate that constantly stirs within the scientific conmmunity regarding details of the evolutionary process as indicating some sort of growing weakness in the overall theory itself. Nothing could be farther from the truth. But Johnson is not an innocent layman, he is willfully misconstruing the thoughts & words of others. To a scientist, this is perhaps the purest form of evil, & consequently it makes me wonder how Johnson manages to square his actions with his Christianity.

2. Lightly dismissing substantive evidence. There are many examples of this scattered throughout Defeating Darwin, but one example will suffice, since it is repeated at least 10 times in Johnson's book. This is his constant derision of the thirty years of work by Peter & Rosemary Grant (& their multitude of students & associates) on the year-by-year changes in the fauna of the Galapagos. Johnson sneers at this massive body of work as "measuring finch beaks", of no relevance whatsoever. But he just happens to neglect to remind his readers that the Galapagos were precisely Darwin's unexpected natural laboratory that suggested the theory of evolution to him in the first place.

Consequently, when the Grants report on the remarkable physical changes that can occur in some species in a single season, that does in fact point precisely to the powerful potential for speciation to occur, given even a very minor amount of geologic time.

Two other points about the book: First, Johnson surprisingly does not speak in this book of 'speciation'. That used to be his mantra: micro-evolution yes, speciation no. Apparently he realizes that he is slowing but surely being driven from that particular battlement by the patiently accumulating work of tens of thousands of evolutionary scientists. Instead, Johnson focusses on demanding proof of the evolution of the first lifeform on earth from non-living organic chemicals. This is as reasonable as my refusing to believe that Philip Johnson exists, unless he can show me the particular sperm & egg cell that gave rise to his embryo-hood. But this sort of pretended willful ignorance is, I suppose, a highly useful tactic on his part, occupying a battlement that he knows can never be stormed, however silly a point it might be.

Second, this book advances no positive program of its own. It is an attack on evolution, but it fails at every instance to state what Johnson would substitute for evolution in the biology & earth science courses of this nation, beyond Behe's Intelligent Design. And presenting ID takes about 5 minutes, for what is there to discuss once the teacher has established that a supernatural intelligence (wink, wink) was responsible for Life, every different species, & every organ of moderate or greater complexity.

One is pretty much forced to conclude, by default, while reading Johnson's repeated pieties, that he imagines the remainder of the semester will be filled with detailed studies of the New Testament (& how many open-minded questions will be asked then?).

Science can be Dogma, Scientists can be fanatic........2007-06-02

Obliviously, most of the negative reviewers didn't even read this book. The main focus of this brief book is to give a quick introduction to philosophical, scientific and theological arguments against the Evolution. What most of the negative reviewers are missing is his main point: Evolution as asserted by Dawkins and other fanatics, means the universe and all life in it came by about by chance - it doesn't mean you disagree with darwin's finches or other microevolution.
He brings up cases of logical, particularly from microbiologists - objections to evolution that are shot down by 'fanatics' and just as illogical as fundmentalist creationists. For example a 15 year boy in denver objected to NOVA special on evolution being shown in his school. The press portrayed him as a fanatic, but his objection was that the flaws in the show, such as 'the first form of life was a bacteria that fed off of other bacteria' (!).
In short, this isn't the either or argument that the press makes it out to be - evolution cannot and has not explained all aspects of life -and for example Richard Dawkin's reductionist theories that we are just walking bits of DNA meant to pass on DNA passes the line from science to fanatical dogma

watered down.......2007-04-05

This was an unecessary book. It is simply a watered down version of Darwin on Trial. This book leaves out the evidence of the scientific flaws of Darwinism that Darwin on Trial contained. Also be warned, Johnson is not a 6 day creationist nor is he a scientist like Duane Gish. He is more in line with intellegent design. You can decide if that is a good or bad thing.

Some of you are missing the point!.......2007-03-01

There are scores of books on scientific arguments with evidence available for those who want to know. This book is designed to get people to use critical thinking and common sense to start a new dialogue on the origins of life. This is the sole purpose of this book, persuading a person to fairly look at both sides. IMHO the naturalistic evidence is so lacking that belief in evolution is equivalent to belief in God as creator in that neither side can explain exactly how it was done. However, the prescence of conciousness and information alone argue in favor of ID for the origins of life on earth. Many people are totally unwilling to consider any evidence contrary to naturalistic theory. And the reference made by another reviewer about Billy Graham is a little lacking. Mr Johnson explains quite clearly that Billy didnt have the time to fully investigate all the evidence and chose instead to believe God. This is not the same as being afraid to evaluate the evidence for fear of finding out you are wrong. In addition I think that most people would agree that just in the last 30 years there have been new discoveries in many fields that place intelligent design in a much more favorable light. So in the past Billy Graham's contemporaries may very well have been swayed by the evidence of naturalistic origins. Today, I think that anyone who honestly weighs the evidence on both sides would be hard pressed to believe that all we see in nature could have arisen by chance.

Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds.......2007-02-28

I recommend this book if you're someone who is straddling the line between believing evolution and creationism, or believe both. This book will teach you how creationism and evolutionism cannot coexist. I'm almost 14 years old, and I can understand this book, surely anyone else can. This book clearly portrays the falseness of evolution and makes it easy to understand that they can't be true at the same time. Remember, it takes more faith to believe evolution than creationism, because with creationism at least you have a starting point with God, and evolution you have nothing!

Book Description

This novel is about a man whose life is unremittingly awful. Every single event that befalls him on this odyssey goes the wrong way. Whether he is doomed by the Gods or the author of his own misfortune is for the reader to decide, but he certainly doesn't help the cause - he is a hopeless gambler, bitter and regretful. Hector Somes, narrates us through one calendar year of his life during which he moves from property owning and prosperous to destitute. In his despair to change his lot and to move on in life his awful decisions only serve to make it worse. He is flawed but he is not a fool. He is Everyman. His observations of middle management life will make you laugh out loud as too will his descriptions of the desolate agony of gambling. The novel eventually turns full circle and brings us back to where we began one year ago with Hector now one of the down and outs that he detested at the outset, to make true one of his earliest observations: that the Roads of Hell really do lead in circles.

Dunces Abound.......2005-12-15

If the sad-sack kidnappers from Fargo held Damon Runyon and Martin Amis at gunpoint in the mouldering cellar of some bent, bankrupt bookie's mock-Georgian mansion and ordered them to rewrite 'Confederacy of Dunces', the end result may well have resembled 'Another Think Coming', Todd Nelson's coruscating, heartbreakingly hilarious account of one man's fall from grace.

Hector Somes descent through the seven circles of Hell makes Dantes little outing look like a vicar's tea party.

A man with despair rather than oxygen in his lungs, Somes is the absolute distillation of every lost soul who's sat at their open-plan desk in some antiseptic, double-glazed, skyscraping penitentiary dreaming of a better life. Only Somes dares to do more than dream, he throws his cards back at the dealer and demands a new hand. Trouble is, contempt for your peers is one thing, contempt for the Gods something else altogether. Rather than redemption Somes finds Fate has something far more unsavoury in mind.

In 'Another Think Coming' Hector Somes is our unwitting, unwilling tour guide through the horrors of modern life. His is an open top bus-ride into the flames of Hades itself.
