Older Couples New Couplings: Finding and Keeping Love in Later Life 2 reviews
Edith Ankersmit Kemp, Jerrold E. Kemp
Unlimited Publishing, 2001
A sign of hope
....I am 68 years old and was widowed last year. I am not presently in a relationship, but found this book to be helpful in other ways. The interviews with older couples were enlightening for a person who is trying to sort out issues from a 31-year marriage which was filled with the usual complications, but also with love. The loss of my husband was a terrible thing for me. It left me with ...

Coupling of Electromagnetic Fields to Transmission Lines3 reviews
Albert A. Smith
John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1989
Coupling of External Electromagnetic Fields to Transmission
A. A. Smith's treatise must be the definitive work on field-to-wire coupling. His formulas are repeatedly used to test and verify results from method of moments (MOM) and other codes, and after becoming familiar with his closed-form solutions (which by the way are easily brought into MathCAD) they become an essential tool for predicting EMC interactions. He covers the effects of incident ...

SOA in Practice: The Art of Distributed System Design (Theory in Practice)12 reviews
Nicolai M. Josuttis
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007
This book enabled me to understand SOA
Josuttis does an excellent job in transferring his vast experience with SOA architecture to the reader in ways that allow you to take your previous knowledge of enterprise software and (finally) understand SOA to the point where you can guide a team as to whats important and not important and where the pitfalls are.
There are some initial chapters that have some confusing points specifically ...

Silane Coupling Agents1 review
Edwin P. Plueddemann
Springer, 1982
Classic text on this topic, a bit old, but essential reading
Excellent reference book. Essential reading for any chemist or student working in the the field of bonding polymers to glass. Assumes degree level chemistry, so not so accessible to engineers hoping to get background on sizing. Does not discuss micromechanics nor fiber/matrix interphase in mechanical terms. Main focus is bonding glass fibers to thermosetting resins, but also looks at ...

Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex1 review
Mary Roach
W. W. Norton & Company, 2008
The best pop science author does it again
One of the most fascinating aspects of science is the behaviour of the researchers themselves - while published papers are formal, dry documents, the story behind experiments - how they were cooked up and executed - can defy belief. Mary Roach always seems to dig up these hidden and hilarious stories and when she turns her attention to the science of sex (how DO researchers persuade strangers to ...

Noise Coupling in Integrated Circuits: A Practical Approach to Analysis, Modeling, and Suppression + Free ...1 review
Cosmin Iorga Ph.D.
NoiseCoupling, 2008
Awesome book, easy to understand content
This is a clear, concise, and easy to understand book that does a wonderful job of explaining the fundamentals of noise coupling in integrated circuits including the parasitcs on package and PCB power distribution. A lot of effort has been put on simplifying things and explaining common misconceptions. With a correct mental image of noise coupling mechanisms it is then very easy to understand ...

Book content value
This volume contains the most comprehensive list of mechanical components and variations on any given theme that I've seen in one place. Additionally there are significant extensions to computation methods and overviews not found elsewhere. It is an extremely high value book.

Springer, 2008
FINALLY
As a researcher for an aeronautical research institution (I am not at liberty to divulge the exact name), I can say that this book is a gem. Part of our Q3 2008 research syllabus was studying the congenial radioactivity of Silicon-29 on the bimercator isotopes of Tungsten-47 and Manganese-36 to create a type of heat-resistant material suitable for sustaining its physical properties on the Mars ...

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and the Production of Entropy: Life, Earth, and Beyond (Understanding Complex ...1 review
Springer, 2004
if you want to understand how Gaia works.
I saw this book reviewed in Nature magazine. It had a rave review there, so I bought a copy. I wasn't dissapointed, this is a reprint of all the seminal papers on the subject of MEP (Maximum Entropy Production). It is a modern version of Schroedinger's famous book - "What is Life".
My only wish is that the book could be a little MORE mathematically complete.

I Love You, Nice to Meet You: A Guy and a Girl Give the Lowdown on Coupling Up5 reviews
St. Martin's Press, 2006
HILARIOUS AND INSIGHTFUL -- the BEST new book about love
This is the funniest book I've read in a long time -- I was actually laughing out loud and stopping to call friends and read portions of the book to them. But despite the hilarious observations of both authors (who say they aren't dating but I can't understand why not -- they're both incredibly witty and clever and seem to have a natural rapport), I actually found their insights to be valuable. ...

Robin Tamblyn

Relay race of lovers
These twelve short stories in which sex is passed like a baton from one couple to another are probably the best Tamblyn has written so far. We face some quite different men who have only one thing in common and that's their sexual orientation. There is the son who left his wealthy parents, the faithful caring family father, the cancer-sick pensioner, the Spacey-inspired actor who's used to be ...

W. W. Norton, 2008
Newly discovered Mary Roach, and glad I did!
"Bonk" is funny, enlightening, fascinating and, oddly, sexy in a way. Mary Roach makes her topic speak to the reader in way that keeps interest and makes her work very hard to put down. I will be reading more of Ms. Roach.

It is longer that the first edition but still focused including more than 170 excellent figures. The new edition is even more valuable than the first one, not only for students, Post-Docs, but also ...

Photodiode Amplifiers: OP AMP Solutions 4 reviews
Jerald Graeme
McGraw-Hill Professional, 1995
Thorough review of photodiodes driving op-amps
This book lives up to its title by giving a thorough review of photodiodes driving op-amps. It does not consider specialized, discrete photodiode amplifiers. By limiting the coverage to op-amps, the bandwidths are necessarily those of op-amps, a few tens of megahertz at the time most of the book was written, perhaps 100 MHz or so today. Truly wide bandwidth solutions (GHz) are left to the ...
