                    Book Description

                    From White Dwarfs to Black Holes chronicles the extraordinarily productive scientific career of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, one of the twentieth century's most distinguished astrophysicists. Among Chandrasekhar's many discoveries were the critical mass that makes a star too massive to become a white dwarf and the mathematical theory of black holes. In 1983 he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics for these and other achievements.

                    Over the course of more than six decades of active research Chandrasekhar investigated a dizzying array of subjects. G. Srinivasan notes in the preface to this book that "the range of Chandra's contributions is so vast that no one person in the physics or astronomy community can undertake the task of commenting on his achievements." Thus, in this collection, ten eminent scientists evaluate Chandrasekhar's contributions to their own fields of specialization. Donald E. Osterbrock closes the volume with a historical discussion of Chandrasekhar's interactions with graduate students during his more than quarter century at Yerkes Observatory.

                    Contributors are James Binney, John L. Friedman, Norman R. Lebovitz, Donald E. Osterbrock, E. N. Parker, Roger Penrose, A. R. P. Rau, George B. Rybicki, E. E. Salpeter, Bernard F. Schutz, and G. Srinivasan.

                        Book Description

                        This classic offers a meticulous account of the theory of finite elasticity. It covers the application of the theory to the solution of boundary-value problems, as well as the analysis of the mechanical properties of solid materials capable of large elastic deformations. Setting is purely isothermal. Problems. References. Appendixes.

                        4 out of 5 stars A defense of Ogden.......2003-09-28

                        It is easy to see why other reviewers do not like this book: it is very advanced. It is not for an undergraduate, and probably not for a graduate student unless she or he is already very familiar with elasticity and solid mechanics. It is not, at bottom, a text for learning the rudiments of the theory of elasticity: it is more on the level of a research monograph, and Malvern or Fung are better choices for many students. However, Ogden is probably the best work available (other than perhaps Truesdell, who can be an acquired taste) on the rigourous theory of non-linear elasticity. If you have an interest in the structure of constitutive relations, need a rigourous mathematical reference for finite element modeling, or are interested in exploring the assumptions and limitations of the linearised theory of elasticity, Ogden is not just the best place to start, but possibly the only place to go.

                        1 out of 5 stars If you can't teach it, you don't understand it........2003-09-08

                        This is a horribly written book. Instead of teaching non-linear elasticity to the reader, Ogden hides behind jargon and notation. Perhaps if you know finite elasticity very well, it would serve as a good reference.

                        If you are interested in learning continuum mechanics, I recommend starting with Introduction to the Mechanics of a Continuous Medium, by L. E. Malvern. Then continue with Nonlinear Solid Mechanics: A Continuum Approach for Engineers, by G. A. Holzapfel.

                        1 out of 5 stars Not good........2001-06-20

                        I have a big problem with the Dover series to which this book belongs. The price may look good, but explanations are brief and visual representations of subjects treated are sparse. Don't buy this book.

                                  Three of the author's most popular works — widely admired for their satiric wit, subtlety, and perfection of style — brilliantly re-create the provincial world of the early-19th-century English countryside, focusing, respectively, on husband-hunting mothers and daughters, the humbling of proud lovers, and the return of a once-rejected lover.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Good Box Set, But It's Missing Some Books!.......2005-10-02

                                  I think this boxed set collection of Dover Thrift edition Jane Austen books is a good idea, especially if you want to own the books in seperate volumes and not all together in one giant book as in the book the previous reviewer was referring to and as a book collector I like to own each book in their own seperate ediitions but why did they not include Emma, Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park in this box set? Hopefully a second Dover Thrift box set will be made for those books!

                                  1 out of 5 stars Not very good value - READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY.......2005-03-03

                                  This edition isn't such good value - here you only get three of Jane Austen's books. You can get all eight of them for only a few dollars more - take a look at this edition:

                                  (that's the ISBN number - copy and paste it into the Amazon search box, and the book will come up).

                                  5 out of 5 stars A Great Collection!.......2001-03-22

                                  This is a great collection for a new Jane Austen fan. It showcases some of her best work but the price is right if you're not sure you want to invest in hard cover editions just yet.

                                  Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice

                                  Jane Austen , the youngest child of a country parson , received a carreful education and led a normal life amid the quiet provincial surroundings of the south . In the youthful happiness pf Pride and Prejudice her art is almost perfect .The novel present the edge of the human relationships , relations filled with contradictions and ambiguities . The Pride leeds to prejudice and Prejudice involves Pride . The universe created by Austen is a dramatic universe . First of all , between the characters and reader interferes the autor , imposing her subtle -allusive point of view . Unlike the linear novel , who consists in a succession of dialogues , Jane austen creates the dramatic novel , characterized by the superposing of several plans and using the writer`s oppinion as a fourth dimension . The novel Pride and Prejudice may be devided in five scenes , all very much alike the entrances of a comedy . The first act contains the appearance of Bingley and of his sisters , his relation with Jane Bennet , Darcy`s reaction to all these and the departure of Bingley . The second part points out Mr. Collins ` proposal of marriage fallowed by a third section , showing Jane`s life at Rosings and Darcy`s proposal of marriage . The intermediar act , the fourth , presents Elisabeth at Pemberley and the last act ends with the marriages of the sisters . At the first sight , both Bennet sisters seem to claim the status of main character ,but anyway , Jane cannot claim an equal place with Elisabeth ,because she is too flawless and furthermore , as Darcy said : the complicated characters are the most interesting ones . Author`s irony wants to show that exactely these complicated characters make big mistakes . So , Elisabeth ,intuitive when it comes of her family , misjudge and makes mistakes when it comes an emotional affaire . On the other side , Darcy himself experiences a complicated process of evolution through amorous sufferences . In fact his counterpart is Elisabeth who learnes to love him ,fighting against her own feelings and fears .

                                  5 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone!!.......2000-04-19

                                  This is the best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I had to read it for a class in 10th grade, and I have gone back to it at least once a year ever since (I'm now a sophomore in college). The characters are wonderfully constructed by Jane Austin, and I haven't read anything that compares to it yet. If you enjoy the book, I highly recommend the A&E/BBC production of it. It captures the book perfectly, and if you fell in love with Mr. Darcy the way I did, then you will fall in love with the brilliant actor who plays him, Colin Firth. A great read and a great movie to go along with it!

                                    The globalisation of the world economy poses significant challenges for policy makers, regulators and legal professionals. The Asian and Brazilian financial crises have shown that difficulties in the banking sectors of some economies can have serious repercussions across world financial markets. It is clear that a sound legal infrastructure is crucial to promote financial stability in this global market. Particularly in the case of international bank failures, the need for harmonised and effective international insolvency procedures is becoming increasingly apparent. It is against this background that the Bank for International Settlements organised a workshop on International Bank Insolvencies in the summer of 1998. This unique work presents the edited workshop papers by expert lawyers from over twenty national central banks, the European Central Bank, the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision and the UN Commission on International Trade Law. Nineteen country reports provide a comprehensive overview of central banks and other institutions responsible for banking supervision and the co-ordination between authorities involved in insolvency procedures. The authors further discuss the instruments employed for crisis prevention and resolution and issues arising in the aftermath of a bank failure in the respective jurisdictions. In addition, twelve expert papers discuss issues ranging from specific national experiences to attempts at co-operation and harmonisation at regional and international level. The book further includes in annex the text of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and the EC Finality Directive. This work constitutes an essential addition to every banking and insolvency law library and will be of great value to legal academics and practitioners, bankers, regulators and policy makers.
