A good book, but..........2001-01-23

I am a Biochemistry/Molecular Biology PhD who has made transition into one of the "alternative careers". Three years before I made the transition, I bought and read the book.

I found the book generally helpful. But at the time when I was struggling with my career decision, I found the book inadequate. The book tried to cover too many areas of professions. It includes not only life scientists, but also medical doctors, accountants, engineers, psychologists, and even English-major... These people, like me, all want to make career changes. This book is too general. It does not give me enough information for my particular case. In reality, there are "alternative career" opportunities which are open to an English major but closed to a Biochemist.

targeted at highly educated professionals and pre-profession.......1999-05-24

best for professionals and pre-professionals...parachute for scientists, doctors, engineers, and lawyers. really on target

One of the best.......1999-03-31

I would rank this book along with other great resources like Vaultreports.com as the best places for people in the sciences looking for a satisfying career.

Filled with Prose and Science.......2003-04-04

The book is written in a rhyming prose format. It depicts the life work of Mr. Halley, not merely the work on the comet named after him. It is filled with all kinds of science references. It is most appropriate for upper-elementary school children. While the pictures and prose would work well for the younger grades, the science contained in the book is most appropriate for the older kids.

Book Description

The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to all those who wish to use the complementary spectroscopic techniques of optical activity (circular dichroism, CD) and optical anisotropy (linear dichroism, LD) for the study of the structure of molecules and interactions between molecules in solution. The emphasis of the book is on what the techniques are and how to use them for both low and high molecular weight molecules. It is intended to be an easy guide to what a prospective user of CD needs to know and explains how LD is not merely an exotic technique only to be practised by experienced spectroscopists, but may be routinely and usefully employed as an aid to molecular structure determination. This book begins by describing the principles behind CD and LD and how these techniques can be used in the laboratory without using advanced maths or quantum mechanics. The next chapters describe how both techniques may be applied to the study of biological macromolecules and give a detailed description of how they may be used on small molecules to investigate molecular and electronic structure. The final part contains theoretical derivations of all the equations required for the applications described previously. Throughout the book specific molecular examples are used to illustrate concepts and to show the reader how to use the techniques in chemical and biological systems. Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism is the first book that is an easy, directly applicable manual to the use and interpretation of both CD and LD. It will be of use to both novices and experienced researchers in the field.

Book Description

Six days or fifteen billion years? At first glance, the biblical and scientific accounts of the creation of the universe seem quite different. How then can there be modern twentieth century people who respect the methods and conclusions of science, yet take the Bible to be literally correct? The answer is given in this book. Dr. Andrew Goldfinger is a physicist by profession and a chasidic Jew by commitment. He takes the reader through the story of creation from both viewpoints.

Customer Reviews:

An approach to the relationship between Religion and Science.......2006-01-27

My general view is that Science and Religion are different ways of seeing the world. And that in some sense they relate to different kinds of questions.
Religion I would want to say relates to questions of life's ultimate meaning , of the human relation to God. And science explores through methods of observation and verification whatever can be addressed by its methods.
In 'Thinking about Creation 'Andrew Goldfinger tries to tell the story of creation from both points-of -view. His aim is to see the parallels between the two accounts, and in a sense to reconcile the contradictions. He does in a sense the same kind of connecting task that Natan Aviezer and Gerald Schroeder do in their books.
Goldfinger conducts his inquiry with modesty and sense. In his concluding chapter he gives the following words of caution in regard to what he himself has done.

"We know that tomorrow the next generation of telescopes may tell us that our ideas of the cosmos need massive reworking. The behavior of a subatomic particle may violate the most deeply held theories of physics , and Nobel Prizes will be awarded to a new generation of young physicists who again will 'work things out'. Doubtlessly some of them will think that they have finally achieved the ultimate understanding, but we know otherwise. We know that 'Hashem 'has created a universe that can be understood only approximately, both in the physical and spiritual dimensions."

I recommend this book to whoever has an interest in the relation between Torah and Science.

Hocus Pocus.......2005-03-20

It's simply a bunch of hocus pocus. Creationism by any other name is not based in science. Kaballah and numerology also have no scientific basis, except the observation that people overall want to make connections and "sense" of things where there are no connections. Meanwhile, there is overwhelming empirical evidence for theories of evolution.

A must read!.......2002-10-07

This is one of many good books currently out that shows that Torah true Judaism and science can and do in fact live side by side with no contradiction. Actually, Jews have always been active in science (Rambam, otherwise known as Maimonedies, one of the best minds in Judaism in the Common Era was a doctor and scientist) and Dr. Goldfinger is simply participating in a long and proud tradition.

He is well able to comment on both Torah and science. He is a practicing Orthodox Jew (Chassidic actually) and lives Judaism every minute of his life (ours is not a religion that allows you to compartmentalize your religious convictions and the rest of your life). He is also an accomplished physicist (he works at Johns Hopkins as a researcher).

This book is a joy to read. A book that is heavy on physics has the potential to be very dry and boring (at least for me), good bedtime reading, but I find this one to be very interesting. No surprise since I've heard Dr. Goldfinger lecture and I've met him (I sometimes attend the same synagogue as he) and found him to be an extememly warm person. I am looking forward to his next book whenever it comes out.

Interesting; a triple, not a home run........2000-08-13

The writing style is light and enjoyable and the author reveals a lot of interesting concepts being generated by contemporary physics. There are also some interestting incites into Torah; but, as far as unifying Torah with modern physics there is still a bit of a way to go at the present time. Dr. Goldfinger does give it a good try though.

In my opinion the definitive work in this area remains Gerald Schroeder's Genesis and the Big Bang.

A very enjoyable and enlightening book!.......2000-03-30

Thinking About Creation : Eternal Torah and Modern Physics is very enjoyable and enlightening book. It explores both the Torah and the intricacies of modern physics, and demonstrates their convergence. While both of these topics potentially can be heavy reading, the author keeps them light without sacrificing a lot of technical content. I recommend the book for people who are interested in the topic and want to have fun at the same time.

Forget about learning how to make love to a man. First you have to learn how to make a man fall in love with you.

Customer Reviews:

Heard it all before! .......2007-10-02

I would say, don't bother with this book. First of all it's jam packed, the print is tiny and its just an endless stream of sentences so you get bored and loose track and its just a pain! Then the information in the book is pretty useless It has a lot to do with old fashioned seduction techniques which men see through a mile away and has absolutely nothing to do with the magic ingredient that actually makes people fall in love with each other. I think to be honest if someone ever found out what that magic ingredient was they'd bottle it and be world famous by now! The truth is, you can seduce anyone into liking you or fancying you, but 'love', 'real love' I don't think so! Obsession and dependence perhaps... but do you really want that?

Great Book!.......2007-09-06

Another new best seller that I love and recommend - How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You

Outstanding!.......2007-08-14

This is great book. Every woman should read it. You will be surprised how iformative this book is!
But you must read another new besteller which I highly recommend - "How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You" by Mandy Simons

These two books are fascinating!

Not what it claims--how to REALLY do it.......2006-12-31

As a person who loves the dating/relationship genre, let me assure you that there are MUCH better books out there. This book repackages the techniques usually recommended to salesmen--mirroring the other person in order to build rapport, and "speaking in their language." And that's exactly what you'll be doing--selling a falsified version of yourself in a marginally effective and pretty awkward way. (In spite of her exuberantly triumphant intro, Tracy Cabot is now divorced. I imagine it was hard to sustain this manufactured "bond" for very long.)

If you really want to learn about love languages, "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman is much better. It will teach you how to truly interpret and sincerely relate to expressions of love between you and your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner. And if you want to make a man fall in love with you, "Why Men Love Bitches" by Sherry Argov is hands-down the best. It takes the also-fabulous prinicples behind "The Rules" (which have worked for me beautifully) and makes them practicable for the modern and/or professional woman. (I highly recommend The Rules--loosely interpreted--as well). You can read any of these books in 2-3 hours. I have read the latter two more times than I can count.

If after reading Why Men Love Bitches and The Rules, you haven't solved your dating problems, you probably need to read "He's Just Not That Into You"--which is not about dating as much as it is about recognizing the excuses women make for men when the truth isn't what we want. (Gems include "No, he's not too busy to call you. Calling you takes less time than going to the bathroom. If he's into you, calling you is the bright moment in his otherwise busy day.") This should definitely help build the correct mentality for expecting--and getting--both interest and great treatment from men.

And, finally, "What Southern Women Know About Flirting" has some tips and ideas that will help anyone, but particularly those inclined to play the "Damsel in Distress" card. This one's just the icing on the cake.

Very different than most relationship advice books........2006-08-23

This book presents a unique approach to snagging guys. It teaches you how to use psychology to your advantage. The author argues that there are 3 types of men: visual, auditory, feelings. You speak to and treat each one differently. For example, when talking to a visual man, you say stuff like, "I SEE why you have that opinion". It makes them think that you really are on the same level and that you understand them. I can see why, from a logical point of view, that her advice and techniques would be successful. I was intrigued very much so by her "method" and have yet to try it for myself. To be honest, it wasn't what I expected. Sometimes, it got too wrapped up in psychology that it started to make relationships a little impersonal and mechanical. Well, at least she has her PH.D., so I guess her approach is accurate. I'd still recommend this, though, if you want a different read.
