Freeman & Company, 1994 A picture is worth a 10³ words! Amazing! I've seen this book for the first time in 1985, when I was kid. It is still my all-time favorite. Although the book does have lots of textual info pages, the core of the book is a series of 42 full-page pictures which depict the an ordinary picnic photo in different scales. Starting from an ordinary dude resting on the grass, each page turn shows the scene from 10 times farther away.

Wood Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 1995 The best explanation of the Lorentz Transformation I didn't really buy this book with any expectations. and I'm not really a UFO buff but I do have an open mind about such things.

Galambos The Universal Scientific Publications Company, Inc., 1999 Don't read this book First off, this is not a book. It is a course. A lot of college loan money could be saved by investing in this tome first, then not reading but digesting it. After this feast of fine dining, an education might take on a different hew.

Instead, I found not only a more richly multidimensional book, but a glimpse into the ...             McKe Price Guide to Antique & Classic Cameras 2001-2002 (Price Guide to Antique and Classic Cameras)14 reviews James M.
