excellent stuff!
for some this book is very tough (see other reviews), but I found it startlingly good - well edited, insightful and covering a wide range of materials ad concepts in the field. It's interetsing that those who don't like it are usually those who also don't like the critical turn in musicology. Choose your sides!!!

very helpfull book
This book is of great help to my work on a graduate project, where I'm trying to numerically evaluate pressure drop in a gas as result of its interaction with water jet. The FORTRAN code provided with the book (you will have to type it in, or request a copy of the source code from the authors) was exactly what I needed to make a progress in my calculations ( I had to modify it a bit to adjust for ...

Finest Hour

Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1999

Excellent Book!
I actually read this book on the plane flying back from England. It gives you real insight as to what was happening on various fronts during the war, both at home in England and on the battle fronts. More remarkable is how close England came to falling and the back door dealings as to what would happen to England and the British fleet if Germany had succeeded in conquering England prior to the ...

Leonardo Da Vinci: The Anatomy of Man : Drawings from the Collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

1 review
Martin Clayton, Ronald Philo, ...

Bulfinch Pr, 1992

A book to be contemplated
Da Vinci's anatomical drawing is not simply scientific record. It is a great man's comtemplation on humanity through the very basics of physical form. To back up this kind of inquiry, you need a god to in your soul or you have to be the god youself. Without this spiritual aspect, scientific research would turn into something crudely utilitarian or cruelly inhumane as we all have noticed in so ...
