                      5 out of 5 stars Peek Under the "Hood" of the Sun!.......2005-01-07

                      I get a lot of requests for book recommendations, and "Idiot's Guide to the Sun" is one that I've suggested often to people as an interesting astronomy read for themselves or to give as gifts. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learned a few new things myself!

                      Dr. Pasachoff loves to talk about the Sun. If you didn't know before you bought the book, you'd find out soon enough. This is because he and his students have studied the Sun extensively for years, most notably through solar eclipses. At last count I think he'd been to 35 of them! In this book he takes all that knowledge and shares it, guiding you gently through the intricacies of how our star works, how it evolved, what we learn by studying it, what eclipses are, and how the Sun and Earth are interconnected.

                      Sure, you're going to learn some physics along the way, but it doesn't hurt! Dr. Pasachoff's approach just about guarantees you'll find something to appreciate at whatever level works for you. As in his textbook in physics (which I used lo these many years ago as a physics student), he uses some great examples from history and popular culture to teach about the Sun. Those just grab your attention in a way that less-colorful writing would not! And along the way you learn something about the really complex workings of our star. Give it a chance (despite the word "idiot" in the title) -- it's a neat way to get to know the Sun.

                      1 out of 5 stars Not for idiots, not for laypeople - poorly written book.......2004-07-20

                      I returned this book after having it for only a few days because the July 2004 issue of National Geographic did a better job of explaining the Sun in terms that the layperson could understand than this book did.

                      Jay Pasachoff is a preeminent scholar on the sun, but he was the wrong choice for this book (either that, or his editors really did a number his writing). When I read concepts that I myself understood clearly, and could perhaps have written that particular section, I found that I had to read them two or three times to make sure that, yes, this was what he was trying to explain.

                      This is not a book for idiots or laypeople. Idiots won't get it, because, well, they're idiots, and laypeople would get bogged down by the author's inability to relate relatively simple concepts. This book is a quagmire for anyone that wants to learn something about the sun.

                      Seek out the July 2004 issue of National Geographic if you really want to learn something, and don't know much. It's a terrific article, with wonderful color illustrations, cross sections - everything you could want to know.

                      5 out of 5 stars All You Want to Know About the Sun.......2004-07-06

                      The author is a professional solar astronomer who is able to explain every aspect about our solar system's star in a way that lay people can understand. This was obvious to me as I flipped through the book for the first time, checking to see if it was what I needed to learn exactly how the sun functioned.
                      Admittedly, there were a few things which I had to reread more than a couple of times to really understand, but understand I eventually did. The sun is a complicated object (basically its an enormous nuclear fusion reactor), and to make such a scientific subject comprehendable by the masses is no small task.

                      I really bought it looking for two things: an easy to read textbook about the sun and its workings, and a guide to help me observe it properly in white light telescopic viewing. It should be understood that this latter objective was not the intention of the book. Though the amateur astronomer with a small amount of solar observing experience would be able to sift through the chapters and find some things which he or she could use in bits and pieces, this is definitely not the correct book to be used as an observer's guide. I have to say that I still haven't found a better book for the beginning white light solar observer than James Muirden's "How to Use an Astronomical Telescope," though I am still looking.
                      For "The Idiot's... Sun's" intended purpose, which is teaching the curious about how the sun performs the way it does, this book is very hard to beat.

                      5 out of 5 stars A Stellar Book!.......2004-05-19

                      While the title, not chosen by the author Jay Pasachoff, is less than endearing, the contents are superb. The newcomer to solar astronomy would be well educated after studying this book alone. It comprehensively covers just about all the solar studies that have been and are being done in a remarkably concise manner. This is quite and achievement in a field as dynamic as solar astronomy. Historical work from the Galilleo and Christopher Scheiner up to the modern era are woven in as a backdrop to modern research. In this book you will find discussions on topics from backyard white-light solar observing to the latest work being done by the GONG Network on solar oscillations or results of the SOHO and TRACE satellites, explained in easy to understand language. In fact, many sections are presented as answers to questions that well might be asked at that point by the incisive reader. This and the enjoyable flow of the writing leads the reader from one section and chapter into the next. The book ends with a list of solar observatories and organizations as well as a very good bibliography. While this book may be called "The Complete Idiot's Guide" you will be anything but that when finished!

                      On January 14, 1993, Stanley Williams led a party of fellow geologists up Galeras, a Colombian volcano that, though historically active, had been lying quiet long enough that they suspected it was due for an episode--and thus an opportunity for the volcanologists to practice their predicting skills. As they reached the lip of its great crater, Galeras obliged them with a vengeance: it erupted in a burst of fire and toxic gas, killing several members of the party and leaving Williams scorched and broken, "sprawled on my side, caked in ash and blood, wet from the rain, bones protruding from my burned clothes, my jaw hanging slackly."

                      Rescued by two colleagues, Marta Velasco and Patty Mothes, Williams faced several challenges in the years to come--not only healing his body and exorcising the ghosts of Galeras, but also contending with other colleagues' whispered charges that he should have known the mountain was about to blow. But death, Williams and collaborator Fen Montaigne (Reeling in Russia) write, comes with the territory. Whenever a volcano has erupted in recent years, it seems, a volcanologist is among its victims, for, Williams notes, "the best way to understand a volcano is still, in my opinion, to climb it," and to climb it in all of its moods. And those moods, Williams and Montaigne add, are not easy to forecast, even if earth scientists have developed ever more accurate ways to predict events such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

                      At once a study in mountains, the history of geology, and the will to endure, Surviving Galeras is often terrifying, and altogether memorable. --Gregory McNamee

                      Book Description

                      Through a harrowing first-person account of an eruption and its aftermath, SURVIVING GALERAS reveals the fascinating, high-risk realm of volcanology and explores the profound impact volcanoes have had on the earth's landscapes and civilizations. In 1993, Stanley Williams, an eminent volcanologist, was standing on top of a Colombian volcano called Galeras when it erupted, killing six of his colleagues instantly. As Williams tried to escape the blast, he was pelted with white-hot projectiles traveling faster than bullets. Within seconds he was cut down, his skull fractured, his right leg almost severed, his backpack aflame. Williams lay helpless and near death on Galeras's flank until two brave women -- friends and fellow volcanologists -- mounted an astonishing rescue effort to carry him safely off the mountain. The tale of how Williams survived Galeras is the framework for a groundbreaking book about volcanoes, their physical and cultural impact, and the tiny cadre of scientists who risk their own lives to gain knowledge that might one day save many others' lives. Volcanoes unleash supremely powerful, unpredictable forces, and we have paid dearly for our understanding of their behavior. Even with ever more sensitive measuring tools and protective equipment, at least one volcanologist, on average, dies each year. Yet Williams and his fellow scientist-adventurers continue to unveil the enigmatic and miraculous workings of volcanoes and to piece together methods for predicting their actions. Volcanologists often put themselves in peril, not only because the discipline attracts risk-takers but because they know that volcanoes threaten as many as 500 million people worldwide. For Seattle, Tokyo, Mexico City, Naples -- and for volcanologists -- the clock is ticking.

                      5 out of 5 stars A gripping read.......2005-06-18

                      A friend loaned me this book, as he had shared a long hospital experience in Phoenix with Stanley Williams; both of them had grievous head wounds.

                      I write as a geologist, though not a volcanologist. The relevant geologic facts about our planet are beautifully interpreted for the layperson, who is introduced to the small cadre of scientists who work with active volcanoes. I've known two volcanologists with the USGS, both of whom have suffered severe burns in the course of their work; it's a tremendously dangerous field working alongside a superheated, unknowably complex, hidden, overpressured, shuddering, wildly branching plumbing system.

                      Dr. Williams ego AND his suffering over the loss of so many are both fully on display. Anyone who has experienced severe trauma, especially to the head, knows that their memory is horribly impaired, along with judgment. In my experience people who deliberately place themselves in terribly dangerous places MUST have a strong ego [I've known a lot of carrier pilots; they're often a cocky lot!] with self-confidence in spades. They are adrenaline junkies.

                      I don't second-guess the author; there are probably less than half-a-dozen people in the world who have the educational background and experience to look BACK at the data pre-eruption and evaluate if the author should have stayed home that day.

                      I do think this is an enormously interesting book, impossible to put down, and a terrific introduction to those few who try, at great risk, to save our lives if we live close to one of these fire-breathing monsters. I close with a quote from the philosopher, Will Durant: "Civilization exists by geologic consent, subject to revocation at any moment."

                      5 out of 5 stars Great adventure read.......2003-04-16

                      I couldn't put this down. It is a great adventure story and and excellent look at a breed of the most adventure-seeking people in the world -- field vulcanologists.

                      1 out of 5 stars Nothing but a damn lie.......2002-09-28

                      Unfortunately, most of this book is built on nothing but Stanley Williams' ego. After parading around the media for years bragging about how he had been the only survivor of a scientific expedition on Galeras, Williams continues the lie by writing a book about the explosion but conveniently forgets about the other 5 scientists who got out alive. A more compelling and truthful account about Galeras is the book by Victoria Bruce called "No Apparent Danger". Bruce took the time to interview the dozens of people involved with the Galeras tragedy and so her book is much more broad-based than the single-handed novel written by Williams.

                      4 out of 5 stars Daring the goddess.......2002-08-27

                      In his quest for knowledge that could save thousands of lives, Williams entered where most would fear to tread, the crater of an active volcano. Like others before him, he was caught by whimsical nature of this most awesome phenomenon. It erupted, taking the lives of six of his colleagues; Williams was perched just over the rim of the crater. Williams, to his own amazement, survived, but remains of some of his friends and co-workers were never found. This book is a testament to the few courageous scientists around the world who climb and investigate these capricious mountains. Williams captivates the reader with the subject of volcanology and descriptions of those who brave the risks to study the goddess Pele's offspring.

                      In telling his own story of risk, injury and survival, Williams recounts his life and his colleagues' around the world. They come from many lands - Russia, Italy, Columbia and other regions beset by earth's upheavals. Williams, almost an anomaly as a native of Illinois - far from any volcanic activity [except, perhaps, politically], is intensely dedicated to the science. He describes the various volcanic processes and the impact volcanoes have had down the ages. The aim of the studies is to learn how to forecast eruptions. A major success in that endeavour was the saving of thousands of lives when the Philippine mountain Pinatubo erupted in 1991. Galeras, the Columbian volcano that nearly took Williams life, is neighbour to a town of three hundred thousand, Pasto. Attempts to instill evacuation programmes there was met with derision and resentment - it would hurt business.

                      Williams' accounts of volcano disasters make enthralling reading. From Pliny the Younger's attempt to rescue his uncle during Pompeii's famous outburst to modern eruptions, the failure of human populations to accommodate the threat are vivid examples of short-sighted views. Williams stresses the obvious threats, lava flows, "pyroclastic" flows of mud, ash and rocks mixed with toxic gases. He also recounts poorly recognized after effects the debris can evoke - chemical poisonings and crop and herd losses. Famine is a regular result of volcanic activity. Volcanoes are capable of global climate impact, the most famous being the 1815 Tambora explosion resulting in New England's "Year Without A Summer" which devastated crops and herds over wide areas. Williams attributes the wave of Western expansion to the impact of an eruption "a world away."

                      As a combined personal account and scientific study, there are few faults in this book. One can only hope someone derives a synonym for "pyroclastic flows" someday. Williams feelings about the event and the subsequent lives of the survivors are told with intense feeling. One can only sympathise with his distress at losing friends and co-workers and how the families bore up under the stress. His historical accounts cover both fact and mythology. Strangely, although Williams describes many of the gods associated with vulcanism, he omits the only American deity - Pele. As capricious as the Hawaiian goddess is, Williams reminds us that the island volcanoes don't threaten explosive eruptions. While that might offer some mild comfort to that State, Mammoth Mountain in California remains an unheralded threat to thousands in the Golden State.

                      4 out of 5 stars the perils of vulcanology.......2001-12-02

                      Galeras is a Colombian volcano within hiking distance of the Colombian town of Pasto. When it showed increased activity, several scientists were killed in a minor eruption that made headlines, and provoked controversy: mainly about whether or not the scientists' deaths could have been prevented.
                      Williams book is a well written personal account of the disaster and of William's life afterward, including his struggle with his injuries and his guilt over whether he could have better predicted and prevented the deaths.
                      For those interested in vulcanology, it would be a good introduction on what scientists do to monitor dangerous volcanos, and the very real risk that many of them take with little publicity to protect hundreds of thousands of lives of those people living within the shadow of these dangers.

                                This symposium was devoted to the so-called minor bodies in the Solar System, and their mutual interrelationships. Asteroids, comets and meteors provide essential information on the history of the Solar System, starting with the early phases of planetary formation, until the present epoch. Different evolutionary processes have shaped the physical characteristics of the populations of minor bodies. Among them, collisional phenomena have played an essential role, as has been generally recognized by modern planetary research. This symposium was one step in the effort to sketch a general unifying scenario of the properties of the different populations of minor bodies, which are generally studied by separate scientific communities. In particular, the most recent findings on the interrelationships between asteroids, comets and meteoroids suggest that an interdisciplinary approach should be preferred. Only in this way can the properties of different populations of minor bodies be interpreted in the framework of a coherent picture of the history and evolution of the Solar System.

                                      Book Description

                                      This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP'93), held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 1993. Formerly, the events in this biennial conference series were thought as a forum where East European researchers and professionals from academia and industry had an opportunity to discuss their results and ideas with Western colleagues active in image processing and pattern recognition. Now, CAIP'93 has a much more international scope, and in the future these conferences will not any longer take place only in East European countries, but roam throughout whole Europe. Besides invited talks by Belikova, Gimel'farb, Haralick and Roska, the volume contains 114 contributions, either presented as lectures or posters and carefully selected by a highly competent international program committee from a total of some 230 submissions; thus the book gives a thorough survey on recent research results and their applications in image processing and pattern recognition. The proceedings is organized in 20 sections, for example on image data structures, image processing, edges and contours, Hough transforms and related methods, shape, motion, 3-D vision, character recognition and document processing, biomedical applications, industrial applications, and neural networks.

                                            When Professor Bud Harkness is found dead near the campus of Allegheny State University, Dan Quarrier, an old friend and colleague, cannot accept suicide as the apparent cause of death.

                                            With the help of Wally Fosse, his younger, red-bearded and quick-thinking sidekick, Dan's private investigation, which is sanctioned by local police detective and former student Art Morris, turns up some very disturbing information regarding the victim and his past relationships in the university community.

                                            In addition to solving the crime, Dan and Wally come across some humorous absurdities regarding life in a modern institution of so-called higher learning.
