Carefully Revised and Corrected. Baltimore: Published by William and Joseph Neal, 1832. x, 596 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-457-6. Cloth.

        * Reprint of the second American edition. First published in England in 1754-1756, this exposition of natural law and de Jure Belli et Pacis was one of the most important English treatises of the period. Reprinted in America in 1799, it was a standard text here for several decades. As late as 1847, Marvin observed that Rutherforth [1712-1771] was still "considered one of the ablest commentators upon Grotius" because "[h]is work is clearly and logically written, and exhibits great acuteness, sound argument, and learning.": Legal Bibliography (1847) 625.

          Book Description

          Nearly one half of the point-like gamma-ray sources detected by EGRET instrument of the late Compton satellite are still defeating our attempts at identifying them. To establish the origin and nature of these enigmatic sources has become a major problem of current high-energy astrophysics. The second workshop on Multiwavelength Approach to Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources intends to shed new and fresh light on the problem of the nature of the unidentified gamma-ray sources. The proceedings contain 46 contributed papers in this subject, which cover theoretical models on gamma-ray sources as well as the best multiwavelength strategies for the identification of the promising candidates. The topics of this conference also include energetic phenomena occurring both in galactic and extragalactic scenarios, phenomena that might lead to the appearance of what we have called high-energy unidentified sources. The book will be of interest for all active researchers in the high-energy astrophysics and related research areas as well as for scientists and graduate students interested in understanding the recent progress in high-energy astrophysics.

          Book Description

          In the last 15 years gamma-ray astronomy has undergone a tremendous development, changing from a rather marginal and exotic field to a key discipline that probes the most extreme manifestations of the physical universe.

          Through successful observational experiments like the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory and modern Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes, several types of cosmic gamma-ray sources have been detected and are currently being subjected to intensive study. These sources include some of the most extraordinary objects known by human beings. Objects like accreting black holes, neutron stars and their winds, supernova remnants, distant gamma-ray bursts, and the central regions of quasars and blazars.

          This book presents the most updated review of our current knowledge of cosmic gamma-ray sources. Besides chapters devoted to each type of known gamma-ray emitting object, it provides a self-contained introduction to gamma-ray astrophysics, including a description of the relevant physical processes, a guide through the basic phenomenology, and the prospects for further advances.

          The book will be of interest for all active researchers in the field, for scientists interested in understanding the recent progress in gamma-ray astronomy, and for graduate students.

          5 out of 5 stars A good source of astrophysical knowledge.......2005-07-04

          To revisit any relevant theory of high energy emission for a particular object, one can take this book and go directly to the subject, overcoming an exhaustive search through pages and pages as it happens for less specifically aimed astrophysics books. The review on high energy emission mechanisms is also very good, giving a good overview to all of those which are relevant for the field. Moreover, the style of the text, although many writers shared the duty of writing it, is understandable and well ordered, allowing for a first understanding of the subjects after a rapid reading. It is therefore a good book for general and concrete purposes of learning what is going on in the fields considered as well as the physics underlying them.

                                  In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of his famed Border Trilogy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.

                                  One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law–in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell–can contain.

                                  As Moss tries to evade his pursuers–in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives–McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.
                                  No Country for Old Men is a triumph.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Novel!.......2007-10-09

                                  This novel grips you on page one and doesn't let go till the end. It's really a simple story but simple in the sense that the greatest art is the simplest art. McCarthy makes it look easy, but the novel is an extremely skilled journey through a myriad of considerations. As a writer, McCarthy is unexcelled among current practitioners. His dialog is so accurate and authentic that your head will spin. His ability to build tension and excitement is superb. All writers can learn from McCarthy. All readers can enjoy.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Startling and affecting..........2007-10-08

                                  NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is, essentially, a novel about good and evil masquerading as a chase novel. Vietnam vet Llewellyn Moss is hunting antelope on the Texas plains one morning when he discovers what appears to be a drug deal gone bad: men lying gutted in the grass, dead or dying, surrounded by heroin and millions of dollars in cash. Llewellyn takes as much of the money as he can carry and leaves the rest of the scene as he found it, and it isn't long before he's being pursued across the plains by a deadly hunter: Anton Chigurh, a ruthless, unfeeling assassin who will kill anyone who gets in his way. Sheriff Bell, a celebrated war hero on the cusp of his retirement, is pursuing Moss as well, and his narrative serves as a framework for the novel.

                                  I am relatively new to Cormac McCarthy; besides THE ROAD, this is the only book of his I've read. But I think even if I had read everything he'd ever written, I'd still be awed at his remarkable ability to say so much with so few words. This enormous talent, this ability to create complexity and depth out of simplicity, is what makes him one of the greatest authors of our time. NCFOM is McCarthy at his sparsest, and yet somehow, he brings the world of his novel completely to life for readers: It is a place of ruthlessness and violence, and of tenderness and gentleness that juxtapose the lack of compassion so brilliantly. In this novel, people make choices with drastic consequences -- and virtually no one makes the right choice. I don't think anyone could thoroughly dissect this novel and find its true meaning with one reading, but here's my take: I think McCarthy's making a statement about the difference between the old world and the new -- the world where soldiers carry around guilt for their whole lives about an incident that may or may not have made them a hero, and the world where men kill without guilt, without compassion, without regard. What happened to that old world? McCarthy seems to lament -- that world of honor, of "taking care of things," of violence that was only exhibited on foreign shores, in foreign wars? The vista of his novel is, clearly, not a country for the men from that world. Certain passages in the book seem to indicate that the only things we can hold on to, the only things that can keep us human -- the only things LEFT from that old world -- are the moments of tenderness we steal with our loved ones.

                                  Cormac McCarthy is not for everyone -- especially not for those looking for lite reading. He will make you think, make you shake your head at the state of the world, and probably make you cry. But do read him for a pure, unadulterated glimpse into what makes us all human, for an incredibly emotional, provocative reading experience. NCFOM is profound, and affecting, and thrilling, and a novel not to be missed.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Turn on all the lights..........2007-09-26

                                  Brace yourself for a scary read and make sure all the lights are turned on. This story is a real page-turner, probably a good one to pass the time on an airline trip. A young guy finds a drug stash (and right away you wonder who may have seen him take it!) and is then pursued by an assortment of mean people, especially one killer psychotic . Yes, there is lots of killing but keep reading to find out if the hero makes off successfully with the money. If you are a Cormac McCarthy fan, this is one of his most exciting - and soon to be made into a movie.

                                  5 out of 5 stars An Expert With Minimalism.......2007-09-22

                                  This was my first book by Cormac McCarthy, and I must admit he has won a reader for life.

                                  No Country For Old Men explodes with subtly and simplicity as it offers us Moss, a man who finds a drug deal gone bad in the middle of nowhere along the Mexican border. Dead bodies are everywhere, and when he finds a case full of millions of dollars, he can't help himself. As you can imagine, there are numerable parties who'd like that money back. And so the hunt for Moss begins.

                                  Dialogue is terse, details are sparing, yet the story is absolutely riveting and I could not put it down. For some McCarthy's violence and unapologetic disregard for his characters' safety may be upsetting, but I loved his dedication to giving us the story as it could only unfold.

                                  We tend to shower accolades upon authors who give us specific descriptions on every conceivable object within a story. I personally found McCarthy's expertise with minimalism refreshing and quite admirable.

                                  I completely recommend you read No Country For Old Men.

                                  1 out of 5 stars Horrible book.......2007-09-21

                                  First book I've *ever* read where I skimmed the last 3 pages because I was completely uninterested and just wanted to get the darn thing over with. The book just kept getting worse and worse.

                                  I agree with the previous review saying the book is terrible and doesn't conform to the way stories are told.

                                  First annoyance-- dialog that is not in quotation marks. Why would you not conform to that basic standard of writing? What's next? Starting the story on the last page and reading from right-to-left?

                                  Story fizzled out.

                                  Waste of time. Especially compared to the book I had finished prior to this one: Lonesome Dove-- a true masterpiece from an author who knows how to tell a story.
