Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science

156 reviews
Atul Gawande

Macmillan Audio, 2007

Why your Doc says, "I don't know."
It's not that doctors skip most of their classes or that they're getting a second-rate education. It's that we walk in as enigmas--we don't fit the textbook case. Just extracting this idea from "Complications" is worth your time and money. Instead of becoming frustrated and/or scared from an "I don't know" response, we can attempt to appreciate the complexity of our bodies and the influential ...

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd Edition)

97 reviews
David J. Griffiths

Benjamin Cummings, 2004

Good introductory text
This book will take you through the core topics on quantum mechanics. As a confirmation of the author's statement that quantum mechanics is conceptually rich (p. vii) this book indeed introduces you to topics encompassing but no limited to thermal physics, statistical physics, solid state physics, chemistry, optics, astrophysics, that should give you an indication for its wide spectrum of ...

The Misadventures of Russell Quigley: Photographer's Mate, United States Navy

5 reviews

David Griffiths, 2000

Funny, funny, funny......and all true!
This was one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. While I didn't make the Navy my career, I did spend 5 years in as a Photographer's Mate reaching the rank of Petty Officer Second Class. Some of the stories in this book seem completely unbelievable, but let me tell you, from the limited experience I had in the Navy, they are all possible. One, in particular, the episode where he has ...

A must read for anyone who has ever played ball hockey
I read this book with both of my childern and they and I love it. This book brings back is both an accurate and loving portrayal of what it was/is like to play ball hockey.

Introduction to Electrodynamics (3rd Edition)

105 reviews
David J. Griffiths

Benjamin Cummings, 1999

The undergraduate standard
This is the one you are most likely to use as an undergrad in physics. It's been called "verbose", but I appreciate that many steps are explicitly spelled out in this book. I have used Wangsness, also good, for a review before grad school, but Griffiths is the best.

Learning LaTeX

David F. Griffiths, Desmond J. Higham

SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1997

One of the best Latex resources
I have tried reading a lot of online articles about learning Latex, and none of them was very helpful. After reading this book for 1 hour, I started creating my own document (which had a pressing deadline). Do buy this book if you are beginner in Latex: the treatment is lucid, helpful and easy-to-read. 95% needs of 90% Latex users will be served by the commands given in this small 60 page book. ...

Introduction to Elementary Particles

14 reviews
David Griffiths

Wiley-VCH, 2008

The perfect introduction
This is the perfect introduction for any student learning about particle physics, the Standard Model, or Quantum Field Theory. It introduces Feynman calculus very well, although anyone planning to continue will need Peskin & Schroeder's book as well for the details not introduced here. This book contains an excellent appendix with all formulae and rules needed for even an advanced researcher.

Vancouver

6 reviews
David Cruise, Alison Griffiths

HarperCollins, 2003

The peoples of Vancouver
Historical fiction can be tough to do, but David Cruise and Alison Griffiths have put together a very solid read that relies less on history and more on fiction. With historical fiction, writers can dip into a character's point of view and write down the nuances of thought and motivation -- something that biographies and histories rarely get to do. "Vancouver" covers numerous individuals who ...

American Guestworkers: Jamaicans and Mexicans in the U. S. Labor Market (Rural Sociology)

Pennsylvania State University Press, 2007

The H-2 program, originally based in Florida, is the longest running labor-importation program in the country. Over the course of a quarter-century of research, Griffith studied rural labor processes and their national and international effects. In this book, he examines the socioeconomic effects of the H-2 program on both the areas where the laborers work and the areas they are from, and, taking a uniquely humanitarian stance, he considers the ...

In ship modeling, this has resulted in a new form of the hobby midway between traditional build-from-the-box simplicity and the time-consuming demands of fabricating everything from scratch.
