      Book Description

      This complementary text provides detailed solutions for the problems that appear in C.A.J. Fletcher's treatise Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics. The solutions are indicated in enough detail for the reader to complete any intermediate steps. Many of the problems require a computer program to be written, some of which are completely new; their listing forms part of the solution. Many problems are substantial enough to be considered mini-projects, and they should encourage the reader to explore extensions and further developments. Although targeted at instructors, the manual should be of considerable interest for mechanical engineers and fluid dynamicists.

      3 out of 5 stars Ok for reference.......2005-10-02

      This text makes a decent reference book, but I find that the introduction of new ideas is not accompanied with sufficient explanation or motivation. I find myself continuously refering back to Burden and Faires, "Numerical Analysis" instead for more clear and concise descriptions of the same concepts. While our professor required the book for the course (because it is on the book list for qualifying exams), he rarely refers to it. I have accumulated about 5 numerical analysis books now, and I would recommend Burden and Faires, "Numerical Analysis" (7th edition) as the best for senior undergradute to 1st-year graduate level, as it has the best combination of theory, explanation, and examples. Stoer presents slightly more theoretical motivation to problems, which I think would be more interesting the second time around, but not as an 'Introduction'.

      4 out of 5 stars A classic, but don't expect just recipes, this is maths.......1998-10-02

      A classic. However this book is not a "cookbook" of numerical recipes, rather it places a strong emphasys in the numerical properties of algorithms. Good all-rounder and good sections on linear systems and interpolation. You'll probably want to complement this book with specialists on matrix computations, ODE, PDE and optimisation.

        4 out of 5 stars Good Starting Point for Building a Foundation.......2003-02-17

        Though 20 years old, or "lacking modern ... issues" as the previous reviewer said, this book presents the fundamental material of semiconductor device modeling in a logical and organized way. Though recent developments are not covered in this book, the fundamentals of how to discretize a PDE (i.e., poisson eqn, continuity eqs, etc) using finite difference methods, etc., don't change, and this book is a good starter for learning that. If you want to understand the concepts behind device simulators like DESSIS, MEDICI, PISCES, etc., this is a good place to start.

        I'd give it 5 stars if it was written in the later 90's, and therefore had up to date info on mobility and recombination models, etc, and more on the hydrodynamic formulations.

        3 out of 5 stars Great starter for those into device modeling.......2001-01-09

        I have often referenced this book for due to the nature of my graduate research. It is a good introduction to the finer points of semiconductor device modeling. (The stuff not really emphasized at the undergraduate level) However, this book is lacking with respect to many modern device structures and issues. (e. g. power transistors, HEMT's, III-V compound information) I still recommend it as reference material.

                    The 7th edition of ENDURING QUESTIONS continues to explore and examine virtually all of the classical and contemporary questions posed by the major philosophers of western civilization. From the philosophical traditions of ancient Greece to the present day, the ways of understanding our own knowledge, the nature of reality, the basis of morality, and social ideals are presented in the philosophers "own writings", a panoramic collection for introductory students. This text has endured since Melvin Rader originated it in 1956, and it continues to stand the test of time as a valuable core book of readings for introductory courses in philosophy.

                        In this completely revised and considerably expanded new edition, Steven Connor considers the recent work of the most influential postmodern theorists, including Lyotard and Jameson, and offers accounts both of the work of newly emerging theorists and new areas of postmodernist culture which have developed over the last decade, especially in law, music, dance, spatial theory, ethnography, ecology, and the new technologies.

                        I had to use this textbook for a Hebrew History and Lit. class and it was a surprisingly easy read. Tullock does a great job painting a picture of what happened in history, and for those of us (me) who get easily confused when it comes to history (the whos, whats, and whens) I actually enjoyed reading it. It was like a novel.

                        2 out of 5 stars About 100 years behind the times.......2003-01-09

                        We used this as a textbook in Old Testament Survey at Belmont - I suspect largely because the author had just retired from a professorship there. The book is well written, and accessible, but not particulary useful.

                        Tullock assumes the validity of the documentary hypothesis (as developed by Wellhausen et al.) and proceeds from there, which is a fatal flaw for two reasons: 1)The introductory student probably doesn't care about theories of composition and would be better served by spending more time becoming acquainted with the content and themes of the OT books; 2)Wellhausen's theories are deeply flawed, as many authors in the past century have pointed out (as an example, see Kline's Structure of Biblical Authority, which makes a compelling case that the form of Deuteronomy is that of an ancient treaty and only fits the milieu of the Mosaic period).

                        Skip this one.

                        Note: the above comments apply to the edition which was current in 1991. One hopes that Tullock has improved the book during the intervening decade.

                        4 out of 5 stars A simple straightforward history of the Hebrews.......2000-08-08

                        The Story of Israel is one of the textbooks for the Old Testament Survey course I teach at the community college. Because background information is essential to understanding the environment into which these people came (though VERY unpopular to students!), Dr. Tullock writes a brief but informative section on background. It is long enough to set the stage, but short enough to keep the students interested in the course. In an effort to keep the book short, Dr. Tullock does not cover everything, but does a great job overviewing and explaining the important spots. I am pleased with this book and plan to continue using it for the courses I teach.

                          Book Description

                          Contemporary American Fiction provides an introduction to American fiction since 1970. Offering substantial and detailed interpretations of more than thirty texts by thirty different writers, Millard combines them in an innovative critical structure designed to promote debates on cultural politics and aesthetic value. The book is the first of its kind to offer a wide-ranging survey of recent developments in the fiction of the United States. Recent novels by established writers such as John Updike and Philip Roth are analysed alongside the fiction of younger writers such as Gish Jen and Sherman Alexie. The books innovative structure encourages new ways of thinking about how American writers might be configured in relation to each other, while providing an analysis of how contemporary fiction has responded to changes in central areas of American life such as the family, the media, technology, and consumerism. Contemporary American Fiction is a substantial critical introduction to some of the most exciting fiction of the last thirty years, an eclectic and thorough advertisement for the extraordinary vitality of American fiction at the end of the twentieth century. This is an excellent introduction to the subject for undergraduate students of modern American literature.

                          5 out of 5 stars Not too much. But enough to make you want more........2004-06-15

                          The author doesn't go into great depth about any particular work, but a few pages here, a few pages there, he shows the value of several books that I had too hastily passed by, and so I am now revisiting Louise Erdrich's TALES OF BURNING LOVE and Barry Hannah's HIGH LONESOME with new insight. I have ordered David Antrim's novels discussed in here, and am looking forward to reading them.

                          Recommended.

                          5 out of 5 stars The best introduction to the subject.......2000-11-30

                          I can't imagine a better introduction to the subject than this. Millard is the best reader of contemporary American fiction I've come across, and here he gives lucid and invigorating readings of more than 30 works of fiction. The books are grouped together in sections - the family, sport, the West, Language and Power, etc - to bring out different aspects of themes common to related novels, which makes the book ideal for anyone studying the subject. But anyone with a liking for the works of a wonderfully varied range of contemporary American authors (Updike, Roth, DeLillo, Doctorow, Donald Antrim, Sherman Alexie, Gish Jen, etc., etc.) will have their enjoyment of the books enhanced and their appetite for more sharpened. Enthusiastically recommended.

                            Book Description

                            Contemporary British and Irish Poetry provides an engaging, stimulating and lively introduction to the subject. Sarah Broom covers poets from a broad range of ethnic and regional backgrounds and explores a wide variety of poetic styles, including well-known names like Seamus Heaney and Carol Ann Duffy alongside more experimental poets like Tom Raworth and Geraldine Monk.The book discusses all of the most compelling issues with which students, readers and writers of poetry are engaged today: class consciousness and economic divisions in society; political conflict and violence; gender, sex and embodiment, and the intersections of gender and nation; race and ethnicity; the self, subjectivity and agency; the relationships between the so-called "mainstream" of British and Irish poetry and "experimental" and "performance poetry" communities.Including close readings of individual poems, and providing a sense of the parameters of the relevant critical and theoretical debates, this is an indispensable guide for all those interested in the work of some of Britain's and Ireland's most successful and exciting contemporary poets.
