An Introduction To Black Holes Information And The String Theory - Susskind, Lindesay

http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/18020000/18021854.JPG

Synopsis
Over the last decade the physics of black holes has been revolutionized by developments that grew out of Jacob Bekenstein's realization that black holes have entropy. This revolution has culminated in a remarkable principle called "the holographic principle," which is now a major focus of attention in gravitational research, quantum field theory and elementary particle physics. Leonard Susskind, one of the co-inventors of the holographic principle as well as one of the founders of string theory, develops and explains these concepts.

Black Holes - Don Nardo
http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/23420000/23427540.JPG

Annotation
Discusses the history and current state of scientific understanding of black holes, exploring what they are, how they are formed, potential uses, and what they tell us about the fate of the universe.

Francine Thomas - Children's Literature
Consider an object with such gravitational pull that even light cannot escape it and where most natural laws do not hold true—a "hole that curves space and warps time." Though there are potentially large numbers of black holes, these mysterious objects are not easy to observe since their darkness hides them from view. Interestingly, it may never be possible to discover what is hidden inside as long as we remain in our present physical form. Yet they continue to intrigue us and fire our imaginations. Evidence hints these wonders may be "intimately connected to many of the most fundamental processes of the universe" such as gravity, stellar evolution, formation of galaxies, and effects of time on space. In other words, understanding black holes might tell us where and how our universe began. Author Don Nardo explains that a black hole is not simply an "empty hole, or void, in space, but instead a cosmic entity having very substantial mass." He journeys through discovery beginning with Isaac Newton's 1666 theory of universal gravitation and Albert Einstein's vision of space and time in the early 1900's. Nardo reveals a complicated subject in a detailed, but straightforward manner. He poses questions to spark exciting challenges for the mind. Can black holes be used as cosmic gateways? Do they have implications for the fate of the universe? While the black and white illustrations add much, color would further enhance the drama of this nonfiction work. Bibliographic information is included for additional study. 2004, Lucent Books, Ages 8 to 12.

Review
'As a professional trying to learn MatLab by self study I found A Guide to MATLAB the best of the four books I have tried. Three things I liked that I have not always found in other books. The progression is slow but not trivial, with short examples to test your understanding. Symbolic computation is introduced early, and not relegated to the last chapter. Comprehension is tested at stages by three exams for which the solutions are completely worked out.' George Dieter, Professor Emeritus

' ... can be recommended to students and practitioners alike.' Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete Mathematics Abstracts

Product Description
Here is a short, focused introduction to MATLAB, a comprehensive software system for mathematics and technical computing that should be useful to both beginning and experienced users. It contains concise explanations of essential MATLAB commands, as well as easily understood instructions for using MATLAB's programming features, graphical capabilities, and desktop interface. It also includes an introduction to SIMULINK, a companion to MATLAB for system simulation. Written for MATLAB 6, this book can also be used with earlier (and later) versions of MATLAB. Chapters contain worked-out examples of applications of MATLAB to interesting problems in mathematics, engineering, economics, and physics. In addition, it contains explicit instructions for using MATLAB's Microsoft Word interface to produce polished, integrated, interactive documents for reports, presentations, or on-line publishing. This book explains everything you need to know to begin using MATLAB. Intermediate and advanced users will find useful information here, especially if they are making the switch to MATLAB 6 from an earlier version.

A Guide to MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming


http://img.amazon.ca/images/I/51sMw0gab5L._SL500_AA240_.jpg


A Guide to MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming is the first book to deliver broad coverage of the documented and undocumented object-oriented features of MATLAB®. Unlike the typical approach of other resources, this guide explains why each feature is important, demonstrates how each feature is used, and promotes an understanding of the interactions between features.
Assuming an intermediate level of MATLAB programming knowledge, the book not only concentrates on MATLAB coding techniques but also discusses topics critical to general software development. It introduces fundamentals first before integrating these concepts into example applications. In the first section, the book discusses eight basic functions: constructor, subsref, subsasgn, display, struct, fieldnames, get, and set. Building on the previous section, it explores inheritance topics and presents the Class Wizard, a powerful MATLAB class generation tool. The final section delves into advanced strategies, including containers, static variables, and function fronts.

With more than 20 years of experience designing and implementing object-oriented software, the expert author has developed an accessible and comprehensive book that aids readers in creating effective object-oriented software using MATLAB.

Female Sexual Pain Disorders

http://o.b5z.net/i/u/10023334/i/FSPD_cover_0001_ezr.jpg
For more than two decades, the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders have been referral centers for the treatment of vulvodynia, sexual pain disorders, dermatologic diseases of the vulva, recurrent vulvovaginal infections, and female sexual dysfunction. In 2009 we celebrated the 24th anniversary of the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders in Washington D.C. and the 8th anniversary of our offices in New York City and Annapolis, Maryland.

Dr Goldstein's textbook Female Sexual Pain Disorders: Evaluation and Management was released in March 2009. It is the first textbook devoted completely to the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that cause pain during intercourse. All proceeds from this textbook will be donated to the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health.
We are often asked, "Why do I need to come to a specialist for my problem? Isn't my doctor able to treat this?" The unfortunate answer to these questions is that most physicians or nurse practitioners who provide routine gynecologic care have not received adequate training in the diseases of the vulva. In fact, a recent editorial in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology called the vulva the "forgotten pelvic organ." In addition, most health care providers have insufficient training in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual problems including pain during sex and decreased libido.
Most women believe that vulvar itching, burning, and vaginal discharge can only mean one thing: a yeast infection. But in fact, more than two dozen diseases can cause the symptoms of genital itching, burning, irritation, rawness, throbbing, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and pain during sex. The physicians at the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders are specialists in the diagnosis and treatments of these conditions.
The diseases we treat include vulvodynia, vulvar vestibulitis, interstitial cystitis, lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, chronic candidiasis, recurrent bacterial vaginosis, desquamative inflammatory vaginitis, atrophic vestibulitis, pelvic floor dysfunction, human papiloma virus infection (HPV), VIN, herpes, post-herpetic neuralgia, pudendal neuralgia, endometriosis, persistent sexual arousal disorder, and chronic pelvic pain.

Formulas and Functions with Microsoft Excel 2003

http://i30.tinypic.com/acbqrn.jpg

The old "80/20" rule for software - that 80 percent of users use only 20 percent of a program's features - doesn't apply to Microsoft Excel. Instead, this program operates under what could be called the "95/5" rule: 95 percent of Excel users use a mere 5 percent of the program's features. Most of those users know that they could be getting more out of Excel by using more of its commands and options, but aren't sure where to start. Excel is big and complex, and most of its intermediate-to-advanced features are shrouded in the mysteries of mathematics, finance, and impenetrable spreadsheet jargon. This Business Solutions title demystifies the program's features and presents them in a jargon-free way. This book not only takes them through Excel's intermediate and advanced options, but also tells them why these options are useful and shows them how to use them in everyday situations and real-world models. This book aims to do all of this with no-nonsense, step-by-step tutorials and lots of practical, useful examples.

Statistical Physics: Statics, Dynamics and Renormalization - Kadanoff

http://i37.tinypic.com/33o06e8.jpg

Product Description
The material presented in this textbook has been tested in two courses. One of these is a graduate-level survey of statistical physics; the other, a rather personal perspective on critical behaviour. Thus, this book defines a progression starting at the book-learning part of graduate education and ending in the midst of topics at the research level. To supplement the research-level side the book includes some research papers. Several of these are classics in the field, including a suite of six works on self-organized criticality and complexity, a pair on diffusion-limited aggregation, some papers on correlations near critical points, a few of the basic sources on the development of the real-space renormalization group, and several papers on magnetic behaviour in a plain geometry. In addition, the author has included a few of his own papers.

Oracle SQL: Jumpstart with Examples

http://i34.tinypic.com/353dog6.jpg
Review
"As a consultant with more than 12 years of experience working with Oracle databases on a daily basis, reviewing this book was a unique and enjoyable experience. The SQL language is without doubt one of the most critical database skills and it is best learned by example. This book addresses that crucial need. Mr. Powell does an excellent job of clarifying the concepts by using meaningful and easy to understand examples. Frankly, I have not come across any other book on SQL that is as good a compilation of SQL concepts in a single source as this book.

One comes across very few books that make a significant difference in your fundamental understanding of the subject. This is one such book if you want to understand a core database skill SQL. This book deserves a place in your library and you will find it a great reference not only for learning SQL but also for learning data relationships, data organization, data analysis possibilities and so forth. I feel that the title, Oracle SQL: Jumpstart with Examples, might be too simplistic to describe the content. Read on, you will find the real value hidden inside this book." --Ravi Sharma, Senior Principal Consultant

Statistical Physics, Third Edition, Part 1
http://i33.tinypic.com/5n7ouv.jpg

This book is a classic, especially in the sense it is somewhat old fashioned in its basic approaches when compared with newer books. For example it examines statistics and entropy from the ergodic as opposed to the ensemble approach. Information Theory and role of symmetry and symmetry breaking is not treated in detail. However I can't hold these omissions against the book since these developments happend mostly in the late 70s.
What Landau does here, and which in explicably very few Statistical Mechanics books do nowadays, is the full Gibbs Formalism. Not only is the Gibbs Formalism more compatible with Quantum Mechanics, it can also fits in beautifully with Ensemble Statistics and Inofrmation Theory. More over, it is at once clear Maxwell and Boltzmann statistics are only special cases of the Gibbs formalism, and can be easily shown in a few lines.

What Landau does, is to gave an elegant and cohesive view the trully fundamental features of Statistical Mechanics. Chapters 1-6 of this book alone displays a deeper level of understanding than whole books that have been written. If you are interested in Statistical Mechanics at all, this must be a centerpiece of your library.

Thermodynamics of Systems Containing Flexible-Chain Polymers by V.J. Klenin

http://i37.tinypic.com/2lvmkv9.jpg
Hardbound. This book deals with the problems of the thermodynamics of systems containing flexible-chain polymers as the basis of polymer material science. The main thermodynamic quantities and concepts are introduced and discussed in the order of the objects getting more and more complicated: gases, magnets, low-molecular-weight substances and mixtures, and finally, polymers and polymer blends.
All topics are considered in a common clue, using the principle of universality. The stability conditions for the one-phase state of multi-component systems are given. Phase separation is regarded as a result of loss in stability. The critical state of a system, with the one-phase state being close to the boundary of stability conditions breaking, is discussed in detail. The effects of both light scattering (elastic and dynamic) and diffusion, as directly depending on the thermodynamic parameters characterizing the one-phase state stability, are considered
