The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers

The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers
Springer |2007-09-18 | ISBN: 0387310223 | 1341 Pages | 4.23 MB | PDF
The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers is a unique and valuable resource for historians and astronomers alike. The two volumes include approximately 1550 biographical sketches on astronomers from antiquity to modern times. It is the collective work of about 400 authors edited by an editorial board of 9 historians and astronomers, and provides additional details on the nature of an entry and some summary statistics on the content of entries. This new resource for historians, astronomers, and the interested public provides biographical information even on the next generation of astronomers, going beyond existing references, and enhances the information on earlier periods by including many more astronomers and by utilizing contemporary historical scholarship. Individual entries vary from 100 to 1500 words, including the likes of the superluminaries such as Newton and Einstein, as well as lesser-known astronomers like Galileo's acolyte, Mario Guiducci. An Appendix of Countries enables researchers to locate astronomers by country, and a comprehensive subject index helps researchers to identify the authors of important scientific topics and treatises.

Encyclopedia of Rape

Merril D. Smith, Encyclopedia of Rape
Greenwood Press | ISBN: 0313326878 | August 30, 2004 | 336 pages | PDF | 1.5 MB

Rape has been considered a crime and significant cultural event since ancient times, cited as far back as the Code of Hammurabi. It is part of mythology, the Bible, and current ethnic wars. In many cultures even today, the aggrieved party is the father or husband rather than the victimized woman, but its victims can be men as well as women and children. It is, as the introduction to this volume states, "much more than the actual physical act."

For this volume, 79 contributors drawn mainly from academia have produced 186 entries, all with suggested readings, that examine the topic of rape from as many aspects as possible: legal, historical, and social, to name a few. Most of the entries are a page in length or more and have a decided American focus, though entries such as Comfort women, Genocide, and War crimes approach the issue from a more global perspective. There are several biographical entries for leading feminists, legal scholars, and rape victims, such as the Central Park jogger. Each of the current date-rape drugs also has an entry.

The volume begins with a "Chronology of Selected Rape-Related Events," an alphabetical list of all the entries, and a topical list of entries. Extensive cross-references and an index help with access. A "Resource Guide" lists important books, Web sites, organizations, and films. The entries themselves maintain an informative and dispassionate tone despite the highly charged nature of the information provided. This timely and useful--though disturbing--volume should have a place in all libraries concerned with women's and criminal justice issues.

Review
“In an exceptional encyclopedia, Smith has created an invaluable, highly accessible guide to terminology, history, and current issues surrounding rape. The alphabetically arranged entries cover the physiological, political, and psychological aspects of rape, and supply biographical sketches of notorious rapists and their victims from ancient times to the present. The language used is at times graphic, and by its nature the volume is intended for adult readers, but entries are written with an unflinching regard for facts, avoiding sensationalism....Users at all levels will find this volume a useful resource for scholarly information on recent high-profile rape cases, and it will also serve as an entry point for further research on rape and its subtopics. Highly recommended. General and academic readers.”–Choice

“Starred Review This carefully researched work will serve as an excellent introduction to the subject for an student. Highly recommended for public, college, and high school libraries.”–Library Journal

“The authors' straightforward writing styles contribute greatly to the success of this resource. The one- to two-page entries are written with high-school and college students as well as general readers in mind. Each entry provides a basic overview that often includes references to historical events or people, legislation, or other issues explored in the book. Numerous cross-references, in bold type, supply links to other topics that may be of interest....The Encyclopedia of Rape is an excellent general overview of various topics relating to rape. Highly recommended for public, academic, and high-school libraries.”–Feminist Collections

“This useful guide is highly relevant to public and academic libraries.”–Lawrence Looks at Books

“This timely and useful--though disturbing--volume should have a place in all libraries concerned with women's and criminal justice issues.”–Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin

“Any college-level collection strong in social issues or women's issues will want to include the invaluable Encyclopedia of Rape in their collection.”–MBR Bookwatch Donovan's Bookshelf

Popular Psychology: An Encyclopedia

Popular Psychology: An Encyclopedia
Greenwood Press | ISBN 0313324573 | 2005-01-30 | PDF | 296 pages | 1.32 MB

A lot of what is marketed to the public as psychology is actually quite unscientific. Attempting to counteract the tide of misinformation about what psychology really is, this book is a concise guide for anyone seeking to understand the true scientific nature of psychology. Self-help books; television specials; and articles in the popular press all serve to obscure the true intellectual and scientific premises on which the field of psychology is based. The serious work of the great psychological thinkers and schools of psychological thought is lost to the average person. High school and college students as well as the interested lay reader will want to consult this work to understand what is good in the popular presentation of psychology and what is unworthy of serious attention. A unique and especially helful feature of Popular Psychology: An Encyclopedia is the Guide to Related Topics. Major topic sections list the individual entries pertinent to that idea. For example, major sections include Biological Bases of Behavior; Drugs and Chemicals; Popular "Gurus" and Movements; Pseudoscience; Psychological Theories and Ideas; Treatments. There are 121 entries covering such subjects as: acupuncture; alien abduction; aromatherapy; birth order; brainwashing; chemical imbalance; drpressants; Down's Syndrome; emotional intelligence; facilitated communication; Howard Gardner; gingko biloba; insanity defense; intelligence; kava; learning disability; Dr. Phil; mood disorders; Mozart Effect; nervous breakdown; parenting styles; post-traumatic stress disorder; psychiatry; seasonal affective disorder; sleep and dreaming; Tourette Syndrome. Ideas and persons familiar to the general reader or to the high school and college student are discussed in an engaging yet knowledgeable style. A general bibliography as well as further reading following each entry and a complete index make this accessible and informative work a useful addition to any library.

The Encyclopedia of World History

Product Details
»Book Publisher: Houghton Mifflin (24 September, 2001)
»ISBN: 0395652375
»Book author: Peter N. Stearns
»Amazon Rating: 4.0

Book Description:
The “Langer Encyclopedia,” as the professional academics call The Encyclopedia of World History originally edited by the late William L. Langer, is basically a history of everything–and an outstanding reference volume. Want to know why the English called their 10th-century king Ethelred “the Unready”? See page 181. Or what the Ottoman Empire’s constitution of 1876 said? See page 531. Or when women in Honduras got the vote? See page 955. This sixth edition, completely updated and revised by a team of scholars led by George Mason University’s Peter N. Stearns, packs all it can into a year-by-year and region-by-region chronicle of human life on planet Earth. The book is big, the type is small, and the maps and genealogical tables are excellent. Stearns has added more material on women, leisure activities, and demographics to this edition, and the sections on Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America are much different from the previous version. As if this weren’t enough, the book comes with a CD-ROM featuring the complete text and fantastic search capabilities. The Encyclopedia of World History is highly recommended for serious history buffs. –John Miller

The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century

Product Details
»Book Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (05 April, 2005)
»ISBN: 0374292884
»Book author: Thomas L. Friedman
»Amazon Rating: 4.0

Book Description:
Thomas L. Friedman is not so much a futurist, which he is sometimes called, as a presentist. His aim, in his new book, The World Is Flat, as in his earlier, influential Lexus and the Olive Tree, is not to give you a speculative preview of the wonders that are sure to come in your lifetime, but rather to get you caught up on the wonders that are already here. The world isn’t going to be flat, it is flat, which gives Friedman’s breathless narrative much of its urgency, and which also saves it from the Epcot-style polyester sheen that futurists–the optimistic ones at least–are inevitably prey to.

What Friedman means by “flat” is “connected”: the lowering of trade and political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet. This in itself should not be news to anyone. But the news that Friedman has to deliver is that just when we stopped paying attention to these developments–when the dot-com bust turned interest away from the business and technology pages and when 9/11 and the Iraq War turned all eyes toward the Middle East–is when they actually began to accelerate. Globalization 3.0, as he calls it, is driven not by major corporations or giant trade organizations like the World Bank, but by individuals: desktop freelancers and innovative startups all over the world (but especially in India and China) who can compete–and win–not just for low-wage manufacturing and information labor but, increasingly, for the highest-end research and design work as well. (He doesn’t forget the “mutant supply chains” like Al-Qaeda that let the small act big in more destructive ways.) Friedman tells his eye-opening story with the catchy slogans and globe-hopping anecdotes that readers of his earlier books and his New York Times columns will know well, and also with a stern sort of optimism. He wants to tell you how exciting this new world is, but he also wants you to know you’re going to be trampled if you don’t keep up with it. His book is an excellent place to begin. –Tom Nissley
