        Book Description

        Radio astronomy uses unique observational techniques and offers the only way to investigate many phenomena in the Universe. This book, by two founders of the field, presents both a clear introduction to radio telescopes and techniques and a broad overview of the radio universe. In the first half of the book, we are shown clearly how radio telescopes work - from basic antennas and single aperture dishes through to full aperture synthesis arrays. In the second half, a wide-ranging and up-to-date review is provided of radio observations of our Milky Way galaxy, stars, pulsars, radio galaxies, quasars and the cosmic microwave background. Handy reviews of Fourier Transform theory, celestial co-ordinate systems and a historical outline of the subject are provided in appendices. Wide-ranging and clearly written, this book provides a thorough introduction to the subject for graduate students, and an invaluable overview for researchers turning to radio astronomy for the first time.

        3 out of 5 stars Very poor editing and writing style, many errors..........2007-04-30

        Well, I got to say, this does pass the test of a pretty good introduction to the subject for someone with a good technical background. What others have said stands. That said, the careful reader with be constantly annoyed with the flagrant basic errors of math and language that frequent this text. Where the heck were the editors and proof-readers for this thing? Very often equations are written that are just flat out wrong due to omissions or typos that the reader must deduce. In other cases statements are made in the text I suppose to try to explain a point but in the end just demonstrate that the author's had absolutely no idea what they were talking about since what they state is in fact just plain wrong, oftentimes just plain bad basic math. Finally there is a general sloppiness to the writing style with the frequent use of ambiguous pronouns that often point to the wrong subject or predicate.

        Some small examples:

        Eq 5.8 is s = s0 + d

        (Vectors, little hats over s and s0 to indicate unit vectors, and d is actually the greek letter sigma).

        The text following states:

        ------
        where d is a small vector, normal to s0. (It must be normal, since both s and s0 are unit vectors).
        ------

        The parenthetical adds absolutely nothing to the understanding of the problem and is IN FACT WRONG. If s and s0 are unit vectors then d CANNOT be normal to EITHER ONE OF THEM. Basic vector math folks, in fact just a basic understanding of a right triangle. Amazing that the authors went out of their way to make a statement that not only contains no illuminating information but is flat out wrong. Not only that, but no proof-reader or editor noticed this obvious error - this is high-school math here. Other examples such as this are throughout the text.

        Another example highlighting the awful writing style:

        ------
        The autocorrelation function is related to the spectrum of f(t); for zero time shift it is simply its square.
        ------

        Try reading that a few times. The first clause is true. The second clause is extremely confusing. I love that "it" and "its" are in the same clause for starters. To top it off "its" refers to f(t) which would be your last guess unless you already knew what they were trying to say. It is plain bad english. Again, numerous examples throughout the text.

        I can't really fault the authors to much here. Writing a book is a very hard task and the authors have taken on a very wide subject and as far as information content goes have done a very good job. Unfortunately it reads a bit like some sloppy class notes. Often the most knowledgable folks, and even the best teachers, are not the best writers. It is the job of the editor to bridge the gap here. In this case the editors at Cambridge University Press should be ashamed of themselves. They have let both the authors and their readers down.

        Anyway, I guess I'd recommend, but get ready to be confused and annoyed. And not by the subject matter which is actually quite accessible.

        5 out of 5 stars Advanced Introduction - Targets Researchers and Graduate Astronomy Students, But Accessible to Others.......2006-05-28

        An Introduction to Radio Astronomy (1997) targets astronomy graduate students and others committed professionally to radio astronomy. The authors - two noted radio astronomers, Bernard F. Burke and Francis Graham-Smith - also hope to interest optical astronomers and others who want to be informed of the principal ideas current in radio astronomy, and may even be thinking of carrying out radio observations that would complement other work in progress.

        With a background in geophysics, I did not always find An Introduction to Radio Astronomy to be easy going, but most topics were not out of reach. That is, readers with some background in physics, electrical engineering, and/or signal processing will find substantial familiar ground, including electromagnetics, thermodynamics, Fourier analysis, and spectral analysis. I give five stars to this not-so-easy, self-contained, advanced introduction to radio astronomy.

        I found the first six chapters (about 80 pages) to be the most challenging, perhaps due to my limited familiarity with radio telescopes. Key topics included radio telescopes as antenna, signal detection and noise, single-aperture radio telescopes, the two-element interferometer, and aperture synthesis.

        Chapter 7 - the absorption, amplification, refraction, and attenuation of radio waves - addresses radiative transfer, astrophysical masers, radio propagation through ionized gas, Faraday rotation of polarized waves, scintillation (radio amplitude variations akin to the optical twinkling of stars), and radio propagation in the earth's atmosphere. Take your time with this chapter as the authors frequently return to these topics.

        The remaining nine chapters offer a wide-ranging review of the radio universe and are more immediately accessible to a wider audience. The chapter titles are Galactic Continuum Radiation, The Interstellar Medium (ISM), Galactic Dynamics, Stars, Pulsars, Radio Galaxies and Quasars, Cosmology and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Cosmology: Discrete Radio Sources and Gravitational Lenses, and The Place of Radio in Astronomy.

        Two Suggestions: I strongly urge the reader to stay the course with the first seven chapters as the later chapters require a basic understanding of radio observation methodologies, antenna temperature, radio brightness temperature, non-thermal radiation, 21 centimeter radiation, bremsstrahlung emission spectra, etc.

        Also, a reader that is relatively new to radio astronomy will find it helpful to read at an early stage the three appendices: Appendix 1 - a concise review of Fourier transforms, intended as a review, not as a self-tutorial, Appendix 2 - a general overview of celestial coordinates , distance, and time, and Appendix 3 - a fascinating account of the origins of radio astronomy (1932 -1954).

        4 out of 5 stars Excellent Advanced Radio Astronomy Text.......2002-03-20

                        This comprehensive volume brings together in a well-organized format the vast experimental data on phase relationships in elements, oxides, and silicates at high temperatures and pressures. It also provides a useful introduction to the basic principles governing phase relationships and
                        crystal structures of materials, and discusses how the data presented places constraints on possible earth models. The book is an essential resource to all those concerned with processes at depth within the earth, and is of particular significance to those doing research on the seismic structure of
                        the mantle and on mantle convection.

                          Book Description

                          The behavior of solid and liquid matter at high pressures and temperatures is best described in a phase diagram, which shows the regions of stability of different phases of the material. Thanks to the diamond-anvil cell, which has made possible much higher pressures, and to new and very accurate theoretical models and methods, Phase Diagrams of the Elements presents the most up-to-date information on the phase behavior of all the chemical elements from hydrogen to fermium.
                          The book summarizes, with the aid of tables and illustrations, the experimental data and the theoretical calculations. Each element is discussed in a separate section. Other chapters deal with methods, the liquid-vapor transition, and an overview of the elements. While comprehensively reviewing all that has been done in this important area, the author also points to questions that need much more experimental and theoretical work.

                              Supercritical Fluid Extraction is a technique in which CO2 is used under extremely high pressure to separate solution (e.g., removing caffeine from coffee). Separations is basic to all process industries and supercritical fluid extraction is a specific type which is receiving a high level of attention. The book will combine basic fundamentals with industrial applications. The second edition has been expanded and updated and includes new chapters on chromatography and food processing.

                              3 out of 5 stars Limited scope.......2007-09-30

                              I have to admit being a bit disappointed with this book. The content is sound, based to a large extent on ICH guidance, and for the most part, applies concepts to HPLC analysis. The actual text begins on p17 and ends on p 83, with an average words/page <250 (there are likely less than 16000 words in the entire text). So my rating is biased by what I consider a poor value in terms of cost/content. By way of comparison, the ICH Q2A and Q2B comprise almost 3700 words.

                              Although the book focuses on HPLC, the title concept also applies to other analytical methods (immunoassays, bioassays, mass spec., flow cytometry, etc.) There is clearly more to be learned on this topic. This text may be considered an intorductory primer, or a concise summary.

                              In retrospect, I would preferred to have spent more money to receive a more thorough text with applications in more diverse methods.

                              5 out of 5 stars Great Introduction.......2006-10-12

                              This book is a very good basic (and comparatively inexpensive) introduction to the terms and definitions of method validation. Certainly worth the price until the next edition comes out in early 2007.
                              Protocol sugestions, and the bibliography are worth the price alone.

                              2 out of 5 stars Analytical Method Development and Validation.......2006-07-24

                              Very general description of the method validation process. This book could only be the first step in undestanding of the general requirements for the method validation process. To deepen one's knowledge, the reader should choose the books (e.g. Development and Validation of Analytical Methods by Christopher Riley) which are focused on explaining the concept from the scientific prospective.

                                        High-pressure mineral physics is a field that is strongly driven by the development of new technology. Fifty years ago, when experimentally achievable pressures were limited to just 25 GPa, little was know about the mineralogy of the Earth's lower mantle. Silicate perovskite, the likely dominant mineral of the deep Earth, was identified only when the high-pressure techniques broke the pressure barrier of 25 GPa in 1970s. However, as the maximum achievable pressure reached beyond one Megabar (100 GPa) and even to the pressure of Earths core on minute samples, new discoveries increasingly were fostered by the development of new analytical techniques and improvements in sensitivity and precision of existing techniques.



                                        The book consists of six sections which group the papers according to their main topics: a) Elastic and Anelastic Properties; b) Rheology; c) Melt and Glass Properties; d) Structural and Magnetic Properties; e) Diffraction and Spectroscopy; f) Pressure Calibration and Generation.

                                            Book Description

                                            With the advent of modern instruments and theories, a considerable amount of spectroscopic information has been collected on molecules during this last decade. The infrared, in particular, has seen extraordinary activity. Using Fourier transform interferometers and infrared lasers, accurate data have been measured, often with extreme sensitivity. These data have also been analyzed and accurate molecular parameters determined. Volume II/20 "Molecular Contants mostly from Infrared Spectroscopy" is a recent Landolt-Börnstein publication series. It is made up of several subvolumes (A, B, C, D) with comprehensive compilation of critically evaluated molecular constants of diatomic (A), linear triatomic (B), other triatomic (C) and other polyatomic (D) molecules.

                                              Martin Slate spent the last twenty years in a cubicle working for a high-tech company; much of the time daydreaming about a tropical paradise with white sandy beaches, exotic foods and sun. Now the Portland Oregon engineer's dreams have come true as he escapes to a small tropical island off the coast of Mexico. There he takes a magical journey in a land where time stands still, honey has special powers and the locals believe in turtle Gods. On Esmeralda Martin discovers a different way of life and a rare breed of sea turtles about to become extinct. The battle that ensues pits Martin and the hilariously idiosyncratic local villagers against the mayor and his mainland cohorts.

                                              In my last review, I made a mistake. "Tortilla Flats" is accually by Steinbeck. I'm very sorry for the mix-up.

                                              I enjoyed this book tremendously!!!!!!!! It literaly took me to the Isle of Esmerelda. His discription of the isle brought me to paradise. His writing style is very much like F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was just like Fitzgerald's "Tortilla Flats." There were stories within stories that really captured my attention. The characters were outrageously interesting. In conclusion, I really enjoyed reading this book and would recomend for you to read it too.

                                              5 out of 5 stars Very "Tom Robbins" like!.......2000-11-29

                                              A charming and whimsical escape to paradise! I thoroughly enjoyed the tropical setting, made me feel like I was really there . . . and the wild and crazy antics that happen on Esmeralda reminded me of some of Tom Robbins novels. A very fun read!
