A must have for every sales person.......2001-02-22

This book is an incredible resource to preparing a world-class sales rep resume. I thought I had a pretty good resume until I got this book. I just received two job offers and in both interviews got great feedback on my resume. I got from this book what would have cost me hundreds of dollars in professional resume writer fees. A great investment for your future!

Strategic yet practical help for getting that job you want.......1999-12-07

I found the book to be very helpful. It is well organized, concise yet insiteful. Very up-to-date with advice on how to get a job in the internet age. The resumes are very effective and offer good examples to craft your own resume from - much more helpful than other books I've read on the subject - most likely due to its targeted nature - sales and marketing resumes. That way I can look at almost any resume and find it helpful instead of wading thru a bunch of general resumes to find one that is applicable.

Book Description

White dwarfs, neutron stars, and (solar mass) black holes are the collapsed cores of stars which, near the ends of their luminous lives, have shed most of their mass in supernova explosions or other, less spectacular, instabilities. Here gravity crushes matter to realms that lie far beyond present empirical knowledge. This book explores the diverse forms that such compact stars can possibly take, as constrained by the laws of nature: the general principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, the properties of nuclear matter deduced from nuclei, and the asymptotic freedom of quarks at high density. The book is self contained. It reviews general relativity, essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics, and general features of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes; it includes background on such matters as stellar formation and evolution, the discovery of pulsars and associated phenomena, and the strange-matter hypothesis. The book develops a theory for the constitution of neutron stars and the more exotic Hyperon Stars, Hybrid Stars (containing a quark matter core surrounded by an intricate lattice of quark and hadronic matter) and Strange Stars and Dwarfs (composed of the three light quark flavors sheathed in a solid skin of heavy ions). This second edition has been revised throughout to clarify discussions and bring data up to date; it includes new figures, several new sections, and new chapters on Bose condensates in neutron stars and on phase transitions.

A very interesting but advanced textbook.......2004-11-23

Compact stars are fascinating objects. It is sad that it is difficult to adequately explain many of their properties in a book for the layman. This book does a great job, but it is basically a textbook for graduate students.

This book does review the fundamentals of compact stars. It shows the evidence that the source of energy for a supernova is the binding energy of a neutron star (that binding energy is about ten per cent of the mass).

Compact stars are relativistic, the book teaches us General Relativity, in what I consider a very readable and instructive chapter. The Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations are then derived to obtain the gravitational mass and pressure gradient for a static and spherically symmetric compact star. We're also reminded of a famous test of General Relativity provided by the Hulse-Taylor pulsar binary discovered in 1974. That test found a decay in the orbital period of 0.76 microseconds per year, agreeing to within a percent of the calculations of energy loss through gravitational radiation predicted by General Relativity: convincing evidence if you ask me!

And we're reminded that some of these compact stars rotate at very high rates. And that objects falling towards them starting at rest from a great distance fall not towards the center of the star but instead acquire ever larger angular velocities as they approach.

After that we learn some theoretical basics about white dwarves and neutron stars, their temperatures, the stellar sequences that produce them, and black holes.

Next we find we need to learn some Lagrangian Field Theory, so that we can try to derive a relativistically covariant theory of dense hadronic matter (the likely constituent of neutron stars). We learn about sigma-omega models and the isospin force. And the author also gets to the question of whether neutron matter is bound or unbound. While neutron stars are clearly bound by gravity, not the nuclear force, the issue is whether there is a bound state of neutron matter at any density. If so, then the surfaces of neutron stars are, well, neutrons, rather than some overlying layer of matter at subnuclear density.

There's a section on the observational evidence for neutron stars, namely pulsar observations. And then we get into the constitution (including the hyperon density) and phase transitions in neutron stars, followed by an extensive discussion of rotating neutron stars.

There's a discussion of pulsar "glitches" which are hypothesized to be starquakes, caused by deceleration-induced stress on the crust of the star. I wish Glendenning had said more about an additional possibility, namely that the star is a rotating neutron superfluid, penetrated by an array of vortex lines, and that the glitches are transitions between metastable states of the vortex array. There are also analogies with experiments done on superfluid liquid helium that support this, so I was hoping to see a discussion of it. Either way, the glitches seem to imply the existence of a crust, ruling out theories of a bound state of neutron matter.

Finally, we've gotten to the fun stuff: quark stars. After all, quarks are the constituents of nucleons, and they're asymptotically free. So are there hybrid stars, with quark matter in the central region and a nuclear matter mantle? That gets us into our introduction to the concept of strange and charm stars, and the MIT bag model of quark confinement. And at the end of the book, we see discussions of the structure of strange quark stars. This is an exciting field, as observations of sub-millisecond pulsars would imply the existence of these strange quark stars. That in turn would imply that the actual ground state of the stong interaction is not quarks confined in hadrons but deconfined strange quark matter. In short. "it would tell us that the universe is in a very long-lived but excited state."

This is a very interesting book, and it is a shame that it requires so much background material to appreciate it.

Recommended.......2005-12-04

This book is interesting in the respect that it takes a biological view on computational vision. I do recommend it for that perspective which is certainly valuable. It does not have fair coverage of biologically inspired vision, nor does it correctly show the author's work in relation to others.

Revolutionary thinker.......2000-09-29

Although dead at the young age of 36 from leukemia, Marr's computational and mathematical approach to vision revolutionized the entire area of vision research, after which it was never the same. There are strong hints of this approach in the earlier work of Julesz and Gibson, but Marr's work takes the whole field a quantum leap further, giving it a rigorousness and mathematical elegance never before seen.

For example, to mention just a few of his important ideas, Marr's demonstrations that retinal receptive field geometry could be derived by Fourier transformation of spatial frequency sensitivity data, that edges and contours could be detected by finding zero crossings in the light gradient by taking the Laplacian or second directional derivative, that excitatory and inhibitory receptive fields could be constructed from "DOG" functions (the difference of two Gaussians), and that the visual system used a two-dimensional convolution integral with a Gaussian prefilter as an operator for bandwidth optimation on the retinal light distribution, were more powerful than anything that had been seen up to that time.

It was as if vision research suddenly acquired its own Principia Mathematica, or perhaps General Relativity Theory, in terms of the new explanatory power Marr's theories provided. Truly an extraordinary book from an extraordinary thinker in the area of perception, vision, and the brain.

this is an incredible book!.......2000-06-29

It is quite true: this is probably the best book on vision ever published. David Marr combined an incredible depth and width of knowledge in all neccessary fields (psychology, biology, mathematics, computer science) into this book. You will need some background in mathematics before you can fully appreciate Marr's theories. (Notably Fourier transforms) The most important thing about this book is that it represents ONE paradigm to solve problems of perception, and proves that this paradigm works in a number of cases. Unfortunately, David Marr did not live long enough to implement his paradigm in all aspects of vision. Had he still been alive, we would be looking at a much more unified field of vision research today.

A MUST HAVE for researchers of human or machine vision!.......2000-01-14

This book has quickly become a classic since its publication in 1982. It offers an innovative theoretical approach to explain what it means when we say that we "see" something. Due to Marr's particular interests, his approach also offers, to those interested in creating machine vision that mimics human vision, potential algorithms for doing so. His breadth and depth of knowledge in mathematics, psychology, neurophysiology, and engineering allowed him to integrate the fields in a way never done before. His untimely death was a tragic loss for us all. Although this book may be a bit difficult to understand for the typical psychology student studying human visual perception, it really belongs on his/her shelf. I agree with Marr in his statement that ignorance of the necessary mathematics is inexcusable. For the typical mathematics or engineering student, the book will probably read fairly easily. Although I represent the typical psychology graduate student, it's apparent from my exchanges with my computer science friends working in artificial intelligence that the theories in this book are very well accepted in their academic circles as well.

The best book in vision among those published until now.......1998-08-23

I have been shocked three times after reading chapter one only of this book three years ago when I firstly contacted genius David Marr in my mind. It was because of i) his comprehensive understanding about human visual perception, ii) he was undoubtly young on the contrary to his comprehensiveness, and iii) regretfully he had gone young at his vital age. Until now, it is hard for me to deny his influences in directing my studies in vision. Don't say about vision before reading this book ! This is the best book in vision among those published until now at least in my sight.
