Understanding "Les Fleurs du Mal": Critical Readings

Vanderbilt University Press, 1997

Surprisingly, there are few book-length studies available that approach the poems in Charles Baudelaireís collection on an individual basis. Understanding "Les Fleurs du Mal" fills this gap by providing students and serious readers with clear, scholarly "explications" to many of the most widely read of Baudelaire's poems.

Fatima Revisited: The Apparition Phenomenon In Ufology, Psychology, and Science

1 review

Anomalist Books, 2008

Behind the veil
The Fatima phenomenon is a paramount event in the history of the Catholic Church. Its ramifications and effects on the masses were considerable. Outside the religious perimeter, scientists question its validity. Ufologists embraced it as a "Divine Apparition" carrying an extraterrestrial message. Religious organizations- particularly in Portugal, Spain and Italy- venerated the apparition. ...

The Proud Highway (The Fear & Loathing Letters)
Hunter S. Thompson

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 1997

This is Hunter Thompson's perception of the 1960s as told through his letters from 1955 to 1967 (age 17 to 29). Addicted to drugs and alcohol at the time, Thompson's rage and drug-taking derived from his understanding of how much better the world could be, yet how little he could do to improve it.

Hammett, revisited
I have just finished reading HAMMETT'S MORAL VISION for the second time and I continue to be amazed at the conclusions drawn by Mr. Thompson. His suggestion, expressed late in the book, that these classic mysteries are a form of comedy, mystifies me. That being said, I like the way that "Rhino" shows the methodical changes in Hammett's writing through his career. I enjoyed thoroughly reading ...

Atlas for Computing Mathematical Functions: An Illustrated Guidebook for Practitioners With Programs in ...

William J. Thompson

Wiley-Interscience, 1997

nice reference book for practitioners
Don't expect an in-depth coverage of the theory behind the calculations. Said that, the book is a "concise" presentation of the programs used to calculate special functions present on the CD. For every program, the author shows the underlying equations and the bibliographic sources, plus nice discussions on accuracy/performance when you have the option of several methods. I would say the book ...

Angular Momentum: An Illustrated Guide to Rotational Symmetries for Physical Systems

William J. Thompson

Wiley-Interscience, 1994

A refreshing book
This book provides a pleasant alternative to the more classical books by Edmonds, Brink and Satchler or Rose: it's much more fun! The large number of illustrations (127) helps the reader to grasp some fundamental aspects of angular momentum. All the basics of this subject are covered. The reading is facilitated by the fact that many proofs are left as exercices (and can be found in more ...

Designed in 1934, Bryan Park was a haven for crime by the 1970's. The narrative tells how Laurie Olin opened the park to the street and thus to New York's community. Bryant Park is now an unparalleled success story and a prototype for saving public spaces in other cities
