              Book Description

              It was a lucky twist of fate when in the early1980s David Levy, a writer and amateur astronomer, joined up with the famous scientist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife, Carolyn, to search for comets from an observation post on Palomar Mountain in Southern California. Their collaboration would lead to the 1993 discovery of the most remarkable comet ever recorded, Shoemaker-Levy 9, with its several nuclei, five tails, and two sheets of debris spread out in its orbit plane. A year later, Levy would be by the Shoemakers' side again when their comet ended its four-billion-year-long journey through the solar system and collided with Jupiter in the most stunning astronomical display of the century. Not only did this collision revolutionize our understanding of the history of the solar system, but it also offered a spectacular confirmation of one scientist's life work. As a close friend and colleague of Shoemaker (who died in 1997 at the age of 69), Levy offers a uniquely insightful account of his life and the way it has shaped our thinking about the universe.

              Early in his training as a geologist, Shoemaker suspected that it wasn't volcanic activity but rather collisions with comets and asteroids that created most of the craters on the moon and most other bodies in the solar system. Convincing the scientific community of the plausibility of "impact theory," and revealing its power for penetrating mysteries such as the extinction of the dinosaurs and the timing of the Earth's eventual demise, became Shoemaker's mission. Through conversations with Shoemaker and his family, Levy reconstructs the journey that began with a young geologist's serious desire to go to the moon in the late1940s. Sent by the government to find a way to harvest plutonium, Shoemaker instead found evidence in desert craters for what became his impact theory. While he never became an astronaut, he did become the first geologist hired by NASA and subsequently set the research agenda for the first manned lunar landing.

              After a series of victories and setbacks for Shoemaker, the collision of Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter provided the most convincing proof to date of the role of impacts in our solar system. Levy's explanation of the scientific reasoning that guided Shoemaker in his career up to this dramatic point--as well as his personal portrait of a man who found white-water rafting to be an easy way to relax--sets these fascinating events in a human scale. This biography shows what Shoemaker's legacy will be for our understanding of the story of the Earth well into the twenty-first century.

              4 out of 5 stars A Giant of Science.......2002-05-18

              Gene Shoemaker was truly a giant of 20th Century Science. Involved in the development of (and frustrated by) the vestigal scientific programs attached to the oh-so-political US moon program, Gene Shoemaker was a frequently-acknoledged genius. Perhaps most famous, along with his wife Carolyn and (this book's author) David Levy, for his work discovering the comet chain (Shoemaker-Levy 9) which impacted Jupiter in July 1994, Shoemaker's true legacy lay in his role as a key proponent of the theory, now widely-accepted, that most of the craters we observe in the solar system were caused by meteor or comet impacts instead of being cause by volcanism, and that this process has been at work on the Earth for millenia as well, as can be seen at places like Meteor Crater in Arizona.

              Levy is always a treat to read, with an enthusiastic and easygoing style which keeps the subject accessible and the language casual. He moves the narrative effectively, and frequently refers back to earlier portions of the book to jog the reader's memory regarding various details. The book follows a more-or-less chronological course in relating Shoemaker's life, although it does follow concurrent threads in seperate chapters, so it may confuse less-attentive readers from time to time as Levy covers Shoemaker's gological work during a particular decade in one chapter, and in the next might jump back to the end of the previous decade while describing his astronomical work.

              The book's only real flaw is in it's extreme reverence for Shoemaker and the resultant unwillingness to dig for "dirt" in the process of profiling this colorful and contentious man, understandable considering how close Levy was to Shoemaker, and how close he remains to Shoemaker's wife Carolyn. While the general impression is that there was little actual dirt to be found, Levy glosses over some conflicts in Shoemaker's life, especially the significant personal break with his one-time student and co-collaborator Eleanor Helin, whose near-Earth object research has been truly influential as well. Additonally, passing but tantalizing mention is made in places of his (apparently) less-than-perfect relationship with his children when they were young.

              All in all, these lapses are insignificant (worth a point off a pefect score, though), especially since it will most likely be many years before we are treated to any more thorough and (perhaps) less-biased biography by any other writer. Heartily recommended to anyone who likes a good biography or who has an interest in geology or the search for near-earth objects.

              5 out of 5 stars Should Be A Big Hit
              .......2001-12-26


              This is an excellent (and probably the only) bio of Eugene Shoemaker, who nearly singlehandedly pioneered impact geology, and by doing so helped make modern, secular catastrophism palatable to scientists. On page 55 Levy quotes Stephen Gould (from "The Panda's Thumb") regarding the origin of gradualism as "a common cultural bias"; discusses Cuvier's near miss regarding the source of catastrophes attested throughout the fossil record (pp 51-52); and most nobly and notably, recounted with pretty good accuracy the central thesis of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision without resorting to the childish distortions and namecalling found in most books which mention Velikovsky at all. This factual, non-inflammatory mention of Velikovsky and what may be the most controversial non-political work of the 20th century reveals Levy as a man of reason, courage, and character.

              This biography is highly recommended.

              A truly delightful book about the premiere scientist. The book takes you from the early days when Gene was a kid collecting rocks in a jar, to his prominent role with the Apollo project to the seach for asteroids. Levy writes in such a way that you almost feel that you were friends with the man. Looking over his shoulder as he takes college kids on field trips to Meteor Crater and in the control room for the Voyager missions. I never knew Gene was involved in so many aspects of astronomy. Anyone who relishes science biographies should not miss this one.

              5 out of 5 stars A mark on the Earth and ashes on the moon........2001-01-06

              Soon after pieces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 began impacting Jupiter, I checked Jupiter with my 3.5" telescope and was delighted to see impact spots. Just a day before astronomers were fearful that there would be no visible trace of the impact and of the reaction of the media to the "non-event".

              Somehow I didn't take time to reflect on the "rightness" that the comet was discovered by the scientist most responsible for our current understanding of past and future impacts on the Earth. I guess it just seemed obvious that Shoemaker was the one to find the comet. (Actually, his wife Carolyn was the first to see it on film Gene and David Levy exposed.)

              The day after his death I heard of the idea to include some of his ashes on the Lunar Prospector satellite that was soon to launch, orbit, and eventually crash on the moon. While I instantly recognized what a wonderful idea that was, my memory was fuzzy on his long contribution to lunar exploration.

              Levy's biography is a wonderful summary of the Shoemakers' life and contributions to astrogeology. Shoemaker will be remembered as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. Shoemaker's enthusiasm for geology was a key to his success and Levy concentrates on that, leaving the technical aspects to the bibliography. The result is a book anyone can read and all can learn from.

              4 out of 5 stars A Smashing Story That Will Leave A Big Impact On You.......2004-06-05

              In July 1994, a once-in-a-lifetime event occurred: a planetary impact in our solar system. Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 headed straight for the comet and asteroid magnet known as Jupiter, our largest planet. Without Jupiter to act as a giant cue ball for incoming debris, it's unlikely that we would be here on planet Earth today, as there would be far more dangerous Earth impacts affecting life on our planet beyond the normal once-every-23 million years global wipeouts that have been occurring since life sprung up on our blue planet.

              David Levy's book is a personal odyssey of how he and the Shoemaker's (Carolyn and Gene, the latter deceased as of 1998) happened to discover the impact of SL-9 in 1995. It was the first of 3 consecutive comet shows during the 1990's, with Comet Hyukatuke in 1996 and Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997 helping to revitalize astronomy and comet interest after the disappointing return of much-expected Halley's Comet in 1986.

              The book does a good job of letting you experience the thrills that Levy and others went through during their confirming that the comet would hit Jupiter and the buildup to the expected collision dates. The diaries of the media frenzy are particularly illuminating. The one area where the book falls short is not having enough color photos of the impacts themselves. Published in 1995, "Impact Jupiter" should have had access to enough color photos, especially from the Hubble Space Telescope. There are some decent black-and-white shots, some interesting drawings and sketchings, but more color photos from the HST or other telescopes should have been included. Needless to say, there are a ton of such shots now available on the internet or in some quality astronomy and Hubble Telescope books.

              All in all, an enjoyable and in-depth read on an event that had a long buildup and then was over in the course of a few days. Perhaps if we are lucky we will get another chance to witness a planetary impact in our solar system -- and hopefully, NOT on planet Earth!

                Book Description

                There is something terribly wrong in the solar system, and it is about to take its toll on humanity.

                In the twenty-first century, an unthinkable chain reaction has manifested itself in an apocalyptic nightmare for the inhabitants of the Earth. Who would have thought it could have been born out of a seemingly innocuous comet, Shoemaker- Levi 9, which slammed into Jupiter in 1994?

                Astrophysicist Levon Halston is called to a meeting of internationally renowned scientists to discuss the possible consequences of Jupiter's orbital deviation. Within months, his dire predictions are dwarfed, as the barely perceptible orbital deviation escalates into rapidly occurring celestial upheavals. Earth is captured in the gravitational field of another planet, sending the entire world into chaos, with meteors, earthquakes, firestorms, and unusual weather disturbances. And to make the devastation complete, a rogue country launches a nuclear attack upon the other nations of the world, while the U.S. is crippled and unable to organize a counterstrike.

                Levon is plunged into an anxiety-ridden quest across the United States to find his 12-year-old daughter. Along the way, he converges with Michelle and Jordan, who are fleeing California's destruction. Together, they go through the furious struggles of a horrifying reality, at the same time trying to define their own utopia.

                The Bible's mysterious book of Revelation unfolds as author Douglas J Edgel weaves a bone-chilling account of the last days of the world. This riveting, complex tale excites and unforgettably engages the reader's imagination.

                5 out of 5 stars I couldn't put the book down! An excellent read..........1998-06-30

                This great book grabbed me within the first few pages, and didn't let go till I finished the last page. Actually, it still has me thinking about it. If you enjoy books like Steven Kings "The Stand", or others such as "Earth Abides", "Andromeda Strain", and those which venture into the arena of humanity facing extinction, you'll enjoy this book.

                Intriguing plot aside, it is well written; The dialog between the characters, transitions between scenes, and the story line.

                I chose this book for it's science fiction content and worried that the religious aspect might be a bit more pervasive than I would care for. But it all came together in a very exciting and thought provoking manner.

                Hmmmm... I think I'll go read it again.

                4 out of 5 stars the read is like watching a movie ........1998-06-28

                The reader is taken for a roller coaster ride across the country as the earth's end seems in sight. This is a wonderful book which will open the readers mind to the frail ,and false sense of securty that we have on this planet. I could not put this book down.

                  Book Description

                  The spectacular collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in July 1994 was a unique event in the history of astronomy. With a year's advance warning, astronomers and planetary scientists around the world were able to coordinate an observing campaign to track the event in unprecedented detail. A year after the event, a workshop at the Space Telescope Science Institute provided the first opportunity for them to bring together their observations and foster a new understanding of the impact. In this book, the editors present fifteen invited reviews from authors selected as international leaders in the study of the impact and its aftermath. They have edited and arranged the chapters to provide a thorough and comprehensive overview of our knowledge of the event. While our understanding of the impact will evolve with future work, this book provides a solid foundation for new insights.

                              Essentials of Organic Chemistry is a new textbook written for one-semester and one- or two-quarter organic chemistry courses for non-majors. Its goal is to facilitate the learning of organic chemistry for students who need an overview of the subject in order to support study in their chosen career field (such as nutrition, nursing, biology, psychology, etc.). The approach taken in this text is to limit the content and present only that material which is essential for understanding the elementary workings of organic chemistry. As part of the overall teaching and learning program, Essentials of Organic Chemistry makes full use of today's teaching and learning technology. A text-specific web site, called Organic On-line, contains a variety of student resources that have been designed to provide them with the opportunity to become active participants in the learning process, capturing their interest as they learn. In addition, a unique instructor resource, called the Instructor's Tool Kit CD-ROM, features several different tools designed to make your lectures the very best they can be.

                                Embryogenesis completes an ethnographer's 22-year study of the origins and boundaries of the universe. Echoing Sheldon Nuland's How We Die, Sogyal Rinpoche's Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, and many other sources, this book makes the vital link between science and religion as it discusses the evolution of the species. Touching on everything from Darwin to Derrida, and with headings running the gamut from "Chaos and Zen" to "The Universal Cellular Mold," this tome is for the reader with a large appetite for bold, eccentric investigations and with the leisure to digest such eclectic fare.

                                  What a delightful book. In this time of political rancour it is wonderful that we find a book that lets us see some humor in all of our extreme beliefs. It is set in Kansas but I think the political scene could be any state. The conversation between the radical women's rights advocate from New York and the political expedient Kansan is worth the price of the book.
                                  It is a first novel. I hope there are many more to follow.
                                  I loved it.
