                                        The importance of shock waves in astrophysics has long been recognised by the astrophysical community and their study has developed rapidly in the last few years, driven by increasingly sensitive observations and significant advances in computer power. Shock waves affect astronomical objects on scales from that of the solar wind-terrestrial environment to stellar jets in molecular clouds, and to galactic-scale events. This volume contains reviews by many of the leading researchers in shock wave astrophysics and covers observational and theoretical studies of shocks in a variety of situations from Herbig-Haro objects to Supernova Remnants to Active Galactic Nuclei. The reviews are supported by contributed oral and poster papers which discuss a wide variety of new observational and theoretical results. Audience: In addition to research workers in areas of astrophysical gas dynamics, this book provides a useful introduction to research students, and to mathematicians and physicists who work in other areas of shock wave studies.

                                          This glossary briefly defines the botanical terms likely to be used in the descriptions of mosses and other bryophytes, and is illustrated with remarkable photographs taken at various levels of magnification, mostly using a microscope, that reveal the amazing details of structure in nearly 400 mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. The book will be of interest not only to those specifically concerned with mosses but to naturalists in general

                                          5 out of 5 stars Arcane yet Awesome.......2001-08-06

                                          With absolutely stunning photographs and accurate definitions, this book is a landmark in publishing. The authors have created an illustrated dictionary using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The nearly 1000 color pictures, the majority photomicrographs, are crisply reproduced. The book's strength is in presentation of details of cellular structure, so important for identifying mosses and their ilk. This book will be useful for years to come. This is not a book for the beginner; without solid training in general botany it is likely to be overwhelming, if not impenetrable. This is a reference book, not a text. For the beginning student of mosses, however, it can be a stepping stone to mastering this fascinating group of land plants. The only caution is for northern hemisphere botanists: almost all the subjects are drawn from the flora of New Zealand. Although the images might illustrate a term well, a North American reader will never encounter most of the species depicted.

                                          This is a highly technical book. Brush up on your latin before you purchase it. Illustrations range from a few side views of whole clumps to individual plant photos. If you are interested in the molecular structure, this book is for you.

                                          Book Description

                                          The publication in 1934 of Yang Chengfu's book, Essence and Applications of Taijiquan (Taijiquan Tiyong Quanshu) marked a milestone in the modern evolution of the art of taijiquan. Using what is best-termed demonstration narrative, the author presents form postures and suggested applications from his own perspective, as he performed them. This methodology renders Yang Chengfu's direct, hands-on teaching of the art with such immediacy and liveliness that the reader experiences the master’s teaching much as his students did.

                                          This English translation finally makes Yang Chengfu's classic work available to taijiquan enthusiasts in the West. It includes notes and commentary that clarify the author's frequent classical and literary turns of phrase and elucidate the philosophical and political underpinnings that shape the text. The translator investigates and compares several early taijiquan books in order to help explain the roles played by two of Yang Chengfu's students, Dong Yingjie and Zheng Manqing, in bringing Yang Chengfu's words and teachings into print.

                                          Serious students of taijiquan, and those wishing to deepen their knowledge of taijiquan history and theory, will find this seminal work indispensable to their study and practice.

                                          4 out of 5 stars Whispers from the Master.......2007-06-16

                                          While the Translator, Louis Swaim, made a moderately successful attempt to transmit the intentions of Yang Chengfu, he did not have sufficient material to do a complete and faithful rendition of Yang's teachings.

                                          A unique aspect of this book is that the movements are presented as responses to attacks. But the problem of the presentation is somewhat like trying to recreate a complete motion picture starting with a handful of scattered strips from the original film. Although you can't be expected to learn taiji from this book, what is presented is worth owning.

                                          The introductions, forward and two prefaces, while they do not offer new insights, they do provide interesting reading.

                                          The body of the book, which contains 94 movements, contains movement descriptions and photographs showing Yang's posture at the end of the movements.

                                          The photographs are dark and could stand digital reconstruction.

                                          At the end of the book, a description of Push Hands is given. An attempt is make to make this a teaching section, but Push Hands does not easily lend itself to verbal description. Push Hands is followed by an explanation of Dalu, a two person push hands form.

                                          In the Appendix, some of the Taijiquan Classics are given: The Taijiquan Treatise, Song of the Thirteen Postures, The Mental Elucidation of the Thirteen Postures, The Taijiquan Classic, and the Song of Pushing Hands.

                                          Primarily, this is a book for your library.

                                          Unfortunately most Tai Chi books are written as supplements to training already received by the Masters students. The translator for this book points out several instances where there are questions of interpretation and he cross references other works to try and arrive to a meaning as close as possible to what Yang Chen Fu intended. Very informative and enlightening. It has improved my Tai Chi practice and understanding. Based on the text alone I would give this 5 stars. The quality of the pictures is why I only gave it 4 stars. Thats not the publishers or the translators fault but it distracts from an otherwise outstanding book.

                                          This is the only martial arts book I have bought with truly helpful applications. Most applications are simplistic pictures and text and even in Taiji they are usually demonstrations of wai jia usage. Taiji is nei jia and Yang was one of its 20th Century masters. His applications are purely descriptive and help me to understand how one physically uses Play the Lute (for example) in the spirit of true Taiji.

                                          I've been studying the Yang long form for 2+ years now with a teacher who studied under Yang Zhen Duo. This book is a thoroughly annotated translation from the original Chinese; itself based on notes by earlier lineage holder in the Yang family and probably written by Zheng Man-q'ing/Cheng Man-ch'ing, pick your transliteration. Essence covers the Yang form as a series of responses to one or more attackers, in the format "suppose I'm in this stance and the opponent does X". Each response gives reasons and expected results. The translator includes notes on the response, changes from earlier books and photographs on the form, and elaborates on the classical Chinese mindset and references used in the original. He himself is an experienced practitioner of the form. The book has changed both the way I view many of the elements and how I practice the form itself. Essence is essential if you're studying Yang form, or interested in any of the Tai Chi schools.

                                            Macy grew up unwanted, unloved, and alone. By his teens he had quit school and begun stealing. In and out of juvie, Macy is a shoplifter, a car thief, and, by age eighteen, a murderer.

                                            Danny grew up physically disabled, raised by his grandmother, and a loner. Now sixteen, he finds solace in taking photographs, particularly of monarch butterflies, and thinking about Leah, the most beautiful girl in town.

                                            It is Leah who unwittingly causes these two very different boys, who share some startling similarities, to meet in a first and final terrifying encounter.

                                            The outcome of this hard-hitting and spellbinding novel from an exciting new author will rivet readers and leave them thinking about nature, nurture, justice, and the remarkable power of human kindness.

                                            1 out of 5 stars Stereotype characters in a stereotypical conflict.......2005-05-21

                                            I was surprised that this book was so bad since it was on the eighth grade AP English reading list. It has a soulless monster created by his environment; a beautiful, rich, and nice girl; the dumb, mean high school jock; hardworking Hispanic parents whose lives are centered around their beautiful and smart daughter who is (of course) murdered; and the poor,ugly, handicapped but very sensitive guy as main characters. I'm sure you can figure out the plot just based on the characters since it is as obvious as they are. The ending tried to start a discussion about the death penalty but with these cardboard caricatures, I don't see how anyone could get involved in the issue. I don't recommend this book for anyone - reading is supposed to be interesting.

                                            2 out of 5 stars Page-turner, yet empty.......2004-09-10

                                            This book keeps you reading at warp speed to see how Macy turns out and what other trouble he can possibly get into. However, the writing was simple, lacking description, at times unconnected, and choppy. Often times, there should have been detail added and more reason given for putting something into the plot (i.e. many of the "gold nuggets" sections). It felt like there were parts missing. This is not a great piece of literature, but it is a can't-put-down story. It would be good for reluctant readers.

                                            5 out of 5 stars Teenage serial killer.......2004-03-27

                                            The lives of six teens converge one Sunday morning on hill in Shiloh. One is shot dead. This is the gripping tale of the events leading up to that disastrous day.

                                            Macy is 18 -- and a serial killer. But he wasn't born to kill. The reader is introduced to an innocent toddler, raised by an abusive mother who left him alone outside in the rain for hours, tied by the ankle to an old swing set. Then she came home drunk. By the end of middle school, he was sent to juvie for stealing. When he got out, he stole a car and was sent back. For Macy, the food, accommodations, and attention at juvie were more than he ever got at home. As a rebellious teen, he bought a gun and killed store clerk, Mohammed Aziz. And got away with it. That's how the killing started. After spending a year in prison for attempted robbery, he steals a car, buys a gun and heads off on a killing spree that winds up in Shiloh.

                                            Danny is a disabled 16 year-old who lives with his grandmother. He loves monarch butterflies and Leah, the most beautiful girl in Shiloh. He works at The Store with her younger sister, Sally. Leah's boyfriend, Chad is the star athlete and he hates Danny. The Saturday afternoon Macy drives into town, he sees Leah jogging. He chooses her for his next victim and abducts her. In the search for her, the six teens end up on the hill that Sunday morning. One is a killer, one is a victim, and everyone's life changes forever.

                                            Told in a third-person, easy-to-read, almost journalistic style, the narrative flits -- like a monarch -- in and out of the lives of the people who cross paths with Macy, those he victimizes and those who victimize him. "Shooting Monarchs" is an excellent teaching aid for any class or discussion about justice or social issues. In the end the reader must decide Macy's fate. Does he deserve the death penalty?

                                            4 out of 5 stars No easy answers.......2004-02-12

                                            Just like real life, there are no easy answers found in "Shooting Monarchs". While one or two characters may seem cliche, the message of the book is that people are a complex blend of their environment and their determination. It is an excellent book for sparking debate on the death penalty. Should someone who has committed murder be forgiven if he is the victim of horrific abuse that has rendered him insane? Again, there are no easy answers.

                                            3 out of 5 stars Disappointing, but still OK.......2003-07-23

                                            Although Shooting Monarchs takes a different approach to making teens think about what they read (on capital punishment and the judicial system), I would prefer a book with some nice closure.

                                            I found it difficult to care about Macy, the main character, when all I had was contempt for him. The other characters were almost likeable, but it felt like something was missing.

                                            The sentence structure of this book seemed simplistic and undeveloped. I wouldn't recommend it to people looking for a fun or exciting read.
