Story CD: Style, Structure, Substance, and the Principles of Screenwriting172 reviews

HarperAudio, 2006

Let me tell you a Story
Fantastic content and narrative! McGee's book is awesome however the Audio CD really brings it all to life. Candidly, I'm surprised Robert is also so talented narrating the audio - this is a must-have purchase, even if you've already bought is book "Story".
  
  











  



  
Transport Category Aircraft Systems (AIP, Inc. Training Manual)2 reviews
Thomas W. Wild

Jeppesen Sanderson, 1996

Great Book - Better then others offered
I graduated from Western Michigan Universitys Aviation Flight Program. This book helped out an extreme amount - without it it would have been much more difficult to understand some systems and concepts. The previous review suggested another book, I don't. This one is it.

Topics discussed include: Plasmas, Atomic Physics, High Energy Density Physics ...
  
  











  



  
AIP Physics Desk Reference1 review

Springer, 2003

Keep up with physics
It is difficult for physicists to keep track of the latest findings in their field. By necessity, if you work in physics, you often have to specialise. Yet for intellectual reasons, if nothing else, it is good to keep up with what is in your occupation. For decades, the American Institute of Physics has tried to help, with earlier versions of this book. This is the latest update, from 2003. ...
  
  











  



  
The Eye of Heaven: Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler (Masters of Modern Physics)2 reviews
Owen Gingerich

AIP Press, 1993

Required reading!
This book is essential for anybody who wants to understand what Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler really did. It's a bit more technical than "The Great Copernicus Chase", but if you're serious, you'll appreciate it. And if you're really serious, you'll get a copy of the paper by James Evans in Am. J. Phys 56 (Nov, 1988) 1009-1024. It answered tons of technical questions for me. Just do it, you'll ...
  
  











  



  
Review of Progresses in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (AIP Conference Proceedings / Materials ...

American Institute of Physics, 2008

These Proceedings provide the latest research and development papers in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and its applications to flaw detection, material properties, and structural reliability. The papers are prepared by a line-up of internationally known researchers and are reviewed by qualified scientists. Papers cover recent developments in essentially all measuring techniques (ultrasonics, electromagnetic, X-rays, thermal, acoustic emissions, ...
  
  











  



  
Me Talk Pretty One Day719 reviews

Hachette Audio, 2000

His best
I'll make it very short and sweet. This is his best book so far. If you never read his work start with this one (Although 'santaland diaries' from Barrel Fever is one of the funniest thing I've read).
  
  











  



  
Frontiers of Time: Retrocausation - Experiment and Theory (AIP Conference Proceedings)

American Institute of Physics, 2006

Traditional causation posits that the past alone influences the present. In principle, however, the basic laws of physics permit the future an equal measure of influence: retrocausation. This symposium explores theoretical developments and experimental evidence for retrocausation. It is unique in stressing recent experiments in this exciting and potentially important new field.
  
  











  



  
Lorentzian Wormholes: From Einstein to Hawking (AIP Series in Computational and Applied Mathematical Physics)1 review
Matt Visser

American Institute of Physics, 1996

Buy a used copy
Some of the words in this book have appeared in movies and science fiction stories, but in this book they take on a mathematical/scientific meaning, thanks to the efforts of the author. Although the concepts in the book are still far-removed from experimental verification, one must credit the author with writing of a book that may be standard reading in centuries to come. When reading the book, ...
  
  











  



  
New Ideas in Tokamak Confinement (Research Trends in Physics)1 review

AIP Press, 1994

The Tokamak Thermonuclear Fusion
Nuclear Fusion.Vol.38.No.3(1996) This book provides a valuable perspective, circa early 1992, on ideas for improving the tokamak. It is one of the La Jolla International School of Physics' Research Trends in Physics Series (V. Stefan, Series Editor), a forum for the publication of edited topical books within key fields of physics. The papers have been reproduced from camera ready copy supplied ...
  
  











  



  
The Physics of Skiing: Skiing at the Triple Point2 reviews
David Lind, Scott P. Sanders

AIP Press, 1996

Want to Know about Skiis and Snow? This book will tell you
As a ski instructor the subject of how and why these damn things work as well as how to set up your skiis has always been of interest. This book will give you 95% of the answers to those questions. The book covers down hill, cross country as well as a catagory called adventure skiing. I will be ordering extra copies to give to my skiing friends W. E. M.
  
  











  



  
Bright Galaxies Dark Matters (Masters of Modern Physics)1 review
Vera C. Rubin

AIP Press, 1996

Mysteries of Our Universe!
A most fascinating and highly readable account! by Vera Cooper Rubin, who in 1993 received the National Medal of Science -- the nation's highest scientific award -- for "her pioneering research which demonstrated that much of the matter in the universe is dark." Today it is accepted scientific theory that mysterious dark matter (that is, non-light reflecting, but which can be inferred from its ...
  
  











  



  
Atoms in the Family: My Life With Enrico Fermi (History of Modern Physics, 1800-1950, Vol 9)5 reviews
Laura Fermi

AIP Press, 1987

A charming account of Fermi's life by his wife
I first read this book more than 40 years ago. I still reread it, now and then. It is the source of most of the anecdotes that helped to explain, and disseminate, the Fermi style of doing physics. I am particularly fond of the memories of the youth of Laura Fermi, when Enrico was a young "dottore", and, together with a group of friends, used to hike the Italian Alps at holidays. Everything was ...
  
  











  



  
Nonlinear Acoustics (Research Trends in Physics)
K. A. Naugol'Nykh
