          It is evident from your investigation of this title that you are curious about the universe and human understanding. I have personally endured all of the confusion that results from reading the other books on cosmology and philosophy. This one is different. Prof. Munitz is a consumate teacher. He is clear and is not concerned to show how smart he is (although no one I know of is smarter). If you want to make sense of the universe and understand how humans are situated in it, then this is the only place to start. If you are a professional cosmologist who has spent a lifetime immersed in the details of astronomy, then this book will expand your horizons and satisfy a deep need that cannot be met elsewhere.

            Book Description

            The Big Bang, the birth of the universe, was a singular event. All of the matter of the universe was concentrated at a single point, with temperatures so high that even the familiar protons and neutrons of atoms did not yet exist, but rather were replaced by a swirling maelstrom of energy, matter and antimatter. Exotic quarks and leptons flickered briefly into existence, before merging back into the energy sea.

            This book explains the fascinating world of quarks and leptons and the forces that govern their behavior. Told from an experimental physicist's perspective, it forgoes mathematical complexity, using instead particularly accessible figures and apt analogies. In addition to the story of quarks and leptons, which are regarded as well-accepted fact, the author who is a leading researcher at the world's highest energy particle physics laboratory also discusses mysteries on both the experimental and theoretical frontier, before tying it all together with the exciting field of cosmology and indeed the birth of the universe itself.

            The text spans the tiny world of the quark to the depths of the universe with exceptional clarity. The casual student of science will appreciate the careful distinction between what is known (quarks, leptons and antimatter), what is suspected (Higgs bosons, neutrino oscillations and the reason why the universe has so little antimatter) and what is merely dreamed (supersymmetry, superstrings and extra dimensions). Included is an unprecedented chapter explaining the accelerators and detectors of modern particle physics experiments. The chapter discussing the hunt for the Higgs boson, currently consuming the efforts of nearly 1000 physicists, lends drama that only big-stakes science can give. Understanding the Universe leaves the reader with a deep appreciation of the fascinating particle realm and just how much it determines the rich beauty of our universe.

            5 out of 5 stars A fascinating and informative introduction.......2004-12-13

            Knowledgably written Don Lincoln (an experimental physicist and staff member of the world's premier particle physics laboratory), Understanding The Universe From Quarks To The Cosmos provides the nonspecialist general reader with a fascinating and informative introduction to the complex world of quarks, leptons, and the forces that govern particle physics. Written especially to introduce lay readers to subatomic mysteries, Understanding The Universe From Quarks To The Cosmos discusses the Big Bang, known and proven theories, suspected hypothesese that have yet to be firmly established, cutting-edge discussions of modern particle physics experiments, and much more. Black-and-white diagrams help illustrate the amazing ideas presented with a minimum of mathematics and a maximum of awe.

                        I first stumbled across this book researching paleontologists, and I'm glad I found it. It showed me some of the history on a field of science I have loved since I was very young. I found it to be enjoyable reading. It was neither a compilement of dry facts nor oversimplified mush, but informative and interesting. Worthwhile to read.

                            "The precious present has nothing to do with wishing. The richness of the precious present comes from its own source. The precious present is not something that someone gives you. It is something that you give to yourself." The parable of The Precious Present is a quiet one to muse upon and sit with, and finally to take into your heart. Spencer Johnson, coauthor of the bestselling business classic The One Minute Manager, has created a simple path for the reader to follow in the search for peace and clarity. While The Precious Present may read like a children's book for adults, its slow pace requires the mind to quiet down so that it can really register the meaning of Johnson's words. "The Present Is Simply Who I Am Just The Way I Am... Right Now. And It Is Precious." We may be familiar with this philosophy in theory, but the experience of reading The Precious Present is truly synchronous with its message. --Jodie Buller

                            Book Description

                            A simple story, engagingly told, The Precious Present does more than capture the heart; it is a valuable gift for anyone seeking a deeper level of fulfillment and personal happiness.

                            Telling a story of vital significance in today's fast-paced, competitive environment, The Precious Present will help you discover the joy in life we all seek--whether we go to Wall Street or around the world to find it.

                            Just as Spencer Johnson's bestseller The One Minute Manager helped rehumanize the workplace around the world, The Precious Present helps each reader rediscover his or her own humanity.  This beautiful tale demonstrates the delicate art of balancing your spiritual and material needs, and shows how this goal can be maddeningly elusive--and gloriously attainable.

                            A dear friend first gave me this book, and it has had a profound impact on me over the years. As tempting as it might be to live in the past or plan too frenetically for the future, this book grounds you solidly in the here and now.

                            The Precious Present is about a boy and his next door neighbor. The next door neighbor is old but he tells the best of stories to the boy. One day the man tells the boy a story about the precious present.
                            The boy dreams about the present when the next door neighbor dies and when the boy grows up he searches for it. People who like mysteries would like this story.

                            We used this book at work to kick off a leadership development program. Some of the participants liked the book because it made them reflect on appreciating life in the moment versus looking back or looking to far into the future. Much of the feedback was that it lacked substance and the parable was baby-ish.

                            I completely disagree with Chad, I understand where you are coming from but I think you completely missed the point. I like this book because it tells you to move forward, to focus on what you are doing today because if you live today to the fullest then tomorrow when you look at your past you'll have no regrets. It says to enjoy the things that you have today rather than to ponder on the things that you do not have or may have had in the past. It also says not to live in the future because the future is not here yet, this should not be taken as a call to living on a whim but rather to live your today and take care of all that you need to today because that will make your tomorrow. Give it another try Chad, the person that spent 18.00 on it really cares about you.

                            As a parent, I read this book to my children from grade school through high school. The Precious Present and Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus ranked highest in my rituals of reading what I thoght was important. The Precious Present states simply that which many seem to lose sight of in the midst of a time which is wrought with demands and distractions. As a consultant, I read or referenced this book to clients to aid them in understanding the importance of being where they are at instead of worrying about the future or regretting the past. The book was always received well. Albeit the range could be wide - from just stopping to ponder the idea to big aha's of getting how powerful the here and now can be and therefore making whatever the best decision with the resources available. It's all we have, this present moment.

                            2 out of 5 stars Information Vague and Contradictory.......2004-05-02

                            Taylor may give readers a good place to start in their efforts to preserve family photographs, but offers information that is both contradictory and vague.

                            She gives a basic explanation of the "enemies" your photographs are facing, even breaking down information on particular types of photographs, tintypes, Polaroids, etc. But does not bother defining some basic terms in the glossary such as lignin. Nor are many of her suggestions for which supplies are appropriate specific enough. Eg., what kind of brush should I use to clean photos? I know that Nylon brushes are probably not soft enough for treasured photos. Even worse she says polyethylene is a bad material to store your photos in, but a few pages later suggests using polyethylene freezer bags for freezer storage of items.

                            Taylor includes lengthy lists of resources for, and more information on preservation. But some of the web addresses she lists no longer exist.

                            While she has some good suggestions for long-term storage of photo collections, I would not recommend this book to anyone trying to learn about photographic preservation.

                            5 out of 5 stars Excellent for do-it-yourself photo preservation.......2002-07-23

                            For me, studying old photos is one of the more fascinating aspects of family research, even when I'm not related to any of the people whose faces appear. The military uniforms, hats, parlor furniture, automobiles, urban scenes, and especially the faces and their expressions, are like a kind of time travel, allowing you to peer back into someone's past. Taylor's previous book, _Uncovering Your Ancestry Through Family Photographs,_ investigated that process. But how to protect the photos you already have tucked away in albums have so future family members will get the same pleasure (and information) from them? And how to rehabilitate those you discover to whom the years and the elements have not been kind? This time, the author outlines the steps you can take to see that your photographs have the best chance of survival and describes the methods conservators and restoration experts follow when the task becomes too much for you. She also guides you through the process of creating a meaningful scrapbook of archival quality, discusses the use of computer enhancement and electronic archives, and points out the legal aspects of posting photographs on a web site. Most of the chapters end with checklists and answers to frequently-asked questions, and there are many sidebars and brief marginal comments regarding further reading and useful Internet resources on the subject. Keeping in mind that the technical aspects of photographic restoration and preservation continue to evolve rapidly, this is an excellent beginner's guide and reference handbook.

                            Mama won't take your Kodachrome away, it is time and the elements which are attacking your treasured family photographs. Your Polaroid snapshots are fading as you read this. Those "magnetic" photo albums with the adhesive pages are gassing your family pictures to crumbs. Your digital images may not be viewable by your great grandchildren. But don't give up hope - take action. Maureen Taylor's "Preserving Your Family Photographs" tells you how to take charge and protect your family's photographic history. "Preserving Your Family Photographs" shows you how taking some simple steps now will slow down the aging process of your photographs. And its doesn't require a chemistry set. The book further discusses how and when to choose a professional conservator, concerns about digital photography, how to organize your collection, and even how to safely place your treasures in a scrapbook. This book takes up where "Uncovering Your Ancestry Through Family Photographs" leaves off. After you've identified your family photographs, "Preserving Your Family Photographs" tells you how to keep them for generations to come.
