Laboratory Exercises in Oceanography

This acclaimed course in the calculus of functions of several variables and vector analysis is aimed mainly at second-year undergraduates. Marsden and Tromba provide a concrete, student-oriented text that fosters computational skills and intuitive understanding. The Fourth Edition maintains the balance between theory, applications, optional materials and historical notes present in earlier editions, but has been refined throughout. "This is a superbly produced book, whose clear and orderly presentation and informative diagrams immediately invite closer study ...The best way to evaluate a textbook is to teach from it, and it is clear from the companion study guide by Pao and Soon that it has passed this test." The Mathematical Gazette Supplements: Student Guide/Instructor's Manual

This introduction to human neuropsychology begins with the essentials of neuroscience and neurology and the general principles of brain organization. The core of the book then offers in-depth treatment of the functional organization of the human brain, and coverage of neurological disorders associated with different functions.

Offers a balanced presentation of the clinical description of psychological disorders, theories of causation and treatments. The book discusses diverse perspectives without bias, showing the stengths and weaknesses of each and highlighting the questions that remain unanswered. The book also provides clear descriptions of all the latest research findings, including research into the possible biological underpinnings of abnormal psychology. Ancillary texts include an instructors manual, testbanks available in print or computerized (for IBM or MAC) and a study guide.

"Keep your eye on the ball!" may be good advice--but it is impossible to do. The batter can track the ball until it is about five feet in front of the plate, but then he falls behind because the ball is moving too fast. In Keep Your Eye on the Ball, Robert G. Watts and A. Terry Bahill--engineers by vocation, baseball fans by avocation--have devised a series of experiments that put some of baseball's most cherished myths to the test. By applying physics, psychology, physiology, and other scientific principles to baseball, the authors have resolved, once and for all, some of the controversial issues that have intrigued fans for decades, including: * Do curveballs really curve? Do fastballs rise? * How do knuckleballs and spitballs work? * What exactly happens when the ball hits the bat? * Does corking the bat really help a hitter? * Are aluminum bats more dangerous than wooden bats? * Can certain physiological factors help predict success for a hitter? * Why are more home runs being hit than ever before? * Are today's players better than yesterday's? Completely revised and updated to include recent statistics, new research, and additional historical commentary, Keep Your Eye on the Ball is a highly informative and entertaining guide to the science of baseball that all fans of the game--regardless of scientific background--will enjoy.
