Book Description

The challenges facing groundwater scientists and engineers today demand expertise in a wide variety of disciplines–geology, hydraulics, geochemistry, geophysics, and biology. As the number of the subdisciplines has increased and as each has become more complex and quantitative, the problem of integrating their concepts and contributions into a coherent overall interpretation has become progressively more difficult. To an increasing degree transport simulation has emerged as an answer to this problem, and the transport model has become a vehicle for integrating the vast amount of field data from a variety of sources and for understanding the relationship of various physical, chemical, and biological processes.

Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling is the first resource designed to provide coverage of the discipline’s basic principles, including the theories behind solute transport in groundwater, common numerical techniques for solving transport equations, and step-by-step guidance on the development and use of field-scale modeling. The Second Edition incorporates recent advances in contaminant transport theory and simulation techniques, adding the following to the original text:

-An expanded discussion of the role of aquifer heterogeneity in controlling solute transport
-A new section on the dual-domain mass transfer approach as an alternative to the classical advection-dispersion model
-Additional chemical processes and reactions in the discussion of reactive transport
-A discussion of the TVD (total-variation-diminishing) approach to transport solution
-An entirely new Part III containing two chapters on simulation of flow and transport under variable water density and under variable saturation, respectively, and a third chapter on the use of the simulation-optimization approach in remediation system design

Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling, Second Edition remains the premier reference for practicing hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, engineers, and graduate students in the field. In 1998, in recognition of their work on the first edition, the authors were honored with the John Hem Excellence in Science and Engineering Award of the National Ground Water Association

Suitability for those that are not engineers.......2005-10-14

This book provided an excellent explanation of the modeling of solutes and groundwater that conveyed a very good understanding of the challenges and methods used without resorting to the use of mathematical sophistication that actual ground water modelers no doubt possess.

In other words, I think that this book would benefit both those that are hydrologists and geologists as well as those that have had some training in environemental site assessment and remediation but have not been exposed to the actual number crunching that is essential for doing actual simulations.

Book Description

Of all Greek and Latin poets Catullus is perhaps the most accessible to the modern reader. Dealing candidly with the basic human emotions of love and hate, his virile, personal tone exerts a powerful appeal on all kinds of readers. The 116 poems collected in this new translation include the
famous Lesbia poems and display the full range of Catullus's mastery of lyric meter, mythological themes, and epigrammatic invective and wit.

Customer Reviews:

For students only.......2006-05-03

As a Latin student of Catullus, this book was recommended to me as a guide. While the format is great for students, Latin on the left side, English on the other, I have one serious quarrel with the translation. The translator takes many liberties and does NOT translate literally. He tries to make the English version sound as poetic as Catullus would and fails. Also, Catullus is very graphic in his descriptions of lewd acts and the translator flufs the English version to make it PG-13 instead of the intended R rating.

From Bed to Bed.......2004-04-05

"How many kisses satisfy, how many are enough and more?"
--Gaius Valerius Catullus

Catullus--wealthy, witty, and elegant--was only 30 when he died in Republican Rome, leaving a relatively small quantity of verse.

Written for his circle of friends, his bawdy and sexually direct lyrics can sometimes shock. His most memorable poetry, as passionate and sensuous as it is subtle, focuses on his love for an unattainable married woman named Lesbia and his changing attitudes towards her.

Roman poet bisected by Eros..........2004-02-17

This review relates to -Catullus: The Complete Poems-,
Translated and Edited by Guy Lee, Oxford World's Classics,
ISBN: 0192835874.
In the poet Catullus, we have a very interesting figure.
On the one hand he has a mentality which is satiric,
sharp-tongued in its sting (waspish, if not scorpion)
which is quick to feel a slight and retaliate in
even gutter-talk hyperbole -- yet, also, there is a
very intelligent, sensitive, driven soul which is
all too sensitive to its desires, its frustrations,
and the manipulations of others.
Catullus was fascinated and mesmerized and played with
by a woman whom he calls "Lesbia" (who may or may not
have been a notorious Clodia Pulcher, wife of Metellus
Celer -- "notorious for her sexual license, who was
even rumored to have murdered her husband Metellus by
poison" -- Lee, "Introduction.") But Catullus is also
drawn to and played with by a young male whom he calls
"Juventius" (Poems XXIV, XLVIII, LXXXI, and XCIX,
and the series dealing with male love, XV-XXVI).
According to Guy Lee in his "Introduction": "Indeed it
would be true to say that we know more about Catullus
from his poetry than about any other classical poet,
with the exception of Horace and Ovid. This is because
two thirds of his work are concerned with actual moments,
incidents, and personalities in his life. Virtually all
his epigrams (I-LX as well as LXIX - CXVI) are concerned
with his emotional reactions to other people, his
contemporaries."
According to Lee, also, "Catullus came from a rich and
influential family in the neighbourhood of Verona. He
had the entree to high society in Rome and like the
satirist Lucilius in the previous century could afford
to throw his weight about." However, Catullus is
also highly intelligent and literate: "...Catullus is
well known as a *doctus poeta* or scholar-poet (Martial
calls hiim *doctus* on several occasions) and was well
acquainted with Greek literature, as is shown by his
translations from Sappho and Callimachus, his knowledge
of Greek epigram, and his not unlikely connection with
the Hellenistic poet Pathenius...."
The sensitive side of Catullus can be found in the
poems bemoaning the loss of his brother in a foreign
land -- and the description of the betrayal and
abandonment of Ariadne by Theseus (Poem LXIV).
The best poem summing up Catullus might be LXXXV:
I hate and love. Perhaps you're asking
why I do that?
I don't know, but I feel it
happening, and am racked.
-- Robert Kilgore.

A unique voice from the past.......2002-10-02

All of humanity is but wind racing over the plain of life, never to return. What we have in the poetry of Catullus is an echo of deeply felt love from long ago. Catullus had what I would deem a very un-Roman view of the world. His voice of passion rises, if only briefly, above the usual din of duty and "the good life." It is a wonder to think on the paths pages must make to descend to future generations. It is a happy coincidence that these fascinating pages by a man with a unique voice have come unto us.

"One of the Greatest Personalities in Latin Literature........2002-09-21

The flamboyant poet from Verona, Catullus, who lived most of his life in Rome (84-54 BC), is probably one of the greatest personalities that stands out in Latin literature. His bold and skillful invective, summed up in witty epigrams, and his gallant love/hate relationship with the famous Lesbia all bring forth sharp reflections upon human emotions and ultimately surface Catullus' own personality. In these 116 poems, the reader will undoubtedly find something to relate to, even though they were written just over two thousand years ago. Many of the themes found here are relevant to the modern mind and condition, and seldom are boring and obscure archaisms found in the text. This complete collection of Catullus' poems, translated by Guy Lee and furnished with a parallel Latin text, is a great edition and indispensable addition to the classical library.

PEDICABO EGO VOS ET IRRUMABO.......2005-04-16

Catullus was the greatest lover-rebel of Rome. From his soft little versicles and his love of Lesbia and her sparrow to invective against Julius Caesar, Catullus is endlessly amusing and surprisingly tender. He savages his rivals and lovingly compliments his friends all the while creating charming descriptions of aging boats and scoffing brutally at odd men who brush their teeth with urine. He even had time to write what amounts to a mini-epic in the middle of his set of poems. This book may seem like a random collection of poems and invective, but it is in fact carefully arranged in order to produce a sad, sick and humorous effect. Catullus was indeed the pupil of Sappho and Eris. This book is a must read for any poet or lover.

Love for Lesbia, Love for Juventius, Sing Diana, anal sex!.......1997-02-04

Catullus is probably the best Latin poet that ever lived, and he remains well-known today for good reason. His poems range from speaking of his gentle love for 'Lesbia' (Claudia), from whence comes the famous line "Vivamus mea Lesbia atque Amemus" (let us live and let us love, My Lesbia), to piercing Gellius' naked body with his 'arrows', to male prostitution, to praising the worship of the Moon Goddess Diana. A must-read for anyone interested in Classical culture

Product Description

Catullus, a contemporary of Julius Caesar's, is the most modern of the ancient Latin poets. The majority of his verses are short lyrics of great personal intensity. He was both a romantic and a "confessional" poet long before the terms were invented. 'Odi et amo', addressed to his beloved and faithless Clodia Metelli, the "Lesbia" of his poems, is known even to those with no formal Latin. Through the ages he has kindled the imaginations of Pliny the Younger, Ben Jonson, W.H. Auden, Allen Ginsburg, and Carl Orff. In their amazing versions, Reney Myers and Robert Ormsby have perfectly captured the quality of Catullus' many moods in contemporary American English. The tender love poems and the scathing complaints, the corrosive wit and political jibe, the salacious epigram and elegiac ode...
