Pretty good overview of the NDE

The NDE experience is varied and people experience it in different ways.  Each story is quite short and this compilation gives the reader a good idea of the variety.  This book is a good overview of this kind of experience.

This is a good overview. It is a good reference to
have around, particularly for amateurs who seek straight forward information.

I thought this did quite a good job covering not just the distribution side, but some aspects of transmission and generation, with good supporting graphics. It includes some nice sections on SCADA/smart grid operations and future technologies as well. Overall one of the best electrical references I've ever had. However, I find a lot of the terms that are discussed in the book and rather important in general are missing from the index or glossary - which causes a lot of time to be spent searching where it is that they are covered. Also, having vocabulary lists at the beginning of some of the chapters (and some major sections) is nice, but the lists don't seem to be in any order - which can sometimes cause an annoyance when you're trying to recall a specific term mid-chapter.

I gave this book five stars because it is the best book I have read, regarding NDT/NDE. The authors of this book wrote an earlier edition, similar to this book, and it was great. This book has a way of explaining a sometimes-complex science into "easy to understand" chapters and has added more advanced methods of testing than the last version.  It was clear to me that the authors of this book care very much about what they wrote and seem to want to make it easier for others to understand NDT/NDE.

Good basic technical information.  Provides a nice overview of modification possibilities.  Gives the reader a lot of ideas to build upon.  Does a good job of explaining ramifications of modifications (good and bad) and why some are necessary (for example, structural/frame mods). The only thing I did not like was the lack of color photos throughout. Often I had to look at the black and white photos several times to discern details in the parts I was viewing. The photos were often too dark (most likely from the printing process) and lacked the necessary contrast to identify details I was interested in. I think higher resolution color photos would have helped.

Actually a very reasonable collection of sightings, research,explanations, and even debunking's.  It is actually a good starting point for interested parties. Most of the articles as I preliminary skimmed the subjects, were reported fairly in comparison to what I have gathered from other sources. One thing I noticed is the author is not jumping at the alien conclusion to the facts reported, but leaves this to the reader to decide.  Reading it all and forming conclusions is the right way. The author puts in some of the debunking theories, some of which I don't necessarily agree with.  But again, this is a condensed volume of subject that takes up several library shelves for proper coverage.  Glad I bought the book, even though I had almost expected to see the total dissasembly and explanation of repair of a UFO, as all of the other Haynes auto manuals do.

I found this book very purposeful towards explaining the physics behind DFB operation. It provides an interesting insight on the packaging and the current trends in DFB designs. However, it is little bit lacking when one  looks for details concerning non-linear affects which are not directly an  outcome of the DFB operation but may concern more with the externally  applied parameters such as the type of signal for modulation, ambient  temperature affects, impact of selection of bias point on prolonged  performance etc. Another area that particularly concerns my interests is  device modeling techniques. Not too many details are provided in explaining  the 0, 1, 2 and 3-dimensional vies of the device and also in terms of  parameter extraction methods and the current research going on in this  area. Apart of these minor defficiencies, i think the book fares well  towards providing the reader a good understanding of the DFB particularly  with reference to the time domain model and the application of the coupled  mode theory.

This book is more speculative than Moody's previous books, but I enjoyed it much more than them perhaps because of that reason. There is little that is new in this book, although he does discusee some additional topics. For  example, he defends NDE research as valid against certain critics. he  refutes quite easilt Carl Sagan's absurd attempt to related NDE's as  engrams from the birth experience and demonstrates that there are no known  psychoactive drugs that produce similar symptoms to NDE's in subjects (he  places particular emphasis on ketamine for some reason). It makes a good  companion to the other books, and I found ot to be more interesting, but it  is hard to know what else one has to say after the first two books. Many  people seem to have NDE's, and they are hard, if not impossible to explain  away using traditional understandings of the world, but what else is there  to be said? Interesting book, but I am not sure how much farther near death  studies can be taken . . .

Excellent scientific examination into NDEs and compilation of research by other scientists. Life After Life is another good one.  I also loved Closer To the light about NDEs in children.

A good read on another NDE experience. Eben has a different way of describing what his experience was like when he leaves this mortality which adds credibility to his experience. He was wise enough to write his story before reading about other people's NDEs. Many within the neurologist profession have been adamant the NDE experience can be triggered by a number of methods and Eben, having been one of those neurologists who was skeptical and a non-believer of NDEs, refutes every one of those theories based on his personal experience. I would highly recommend reading this, especially for those in the science community who have difficulties accepting these experiences are true.

I turned to this book for general information on tomography, as my actual interest is electron tomography in the transmission electron microscope (TEM).  Within this 556 page, 12 chapter book is a useful introductory chapter on image reconstruction (Chapter 3, pp. 55-117).  Chapter 3 addresses such topics as the filtered backprojection algorithm, Radon and Fourier transforms, and digital computing considerations such as aliasing.  The author uses equations as well as flow charts to help explain the calculation procedures and theory.  It is also worth mentioning that this book also contains a chapter reviewing such mathematical concepts as Fourier transforms, convolution integrals, statistics, linear algebra, and x-ray Physics (Chapter 2, pp. 23-53).  The rest of the book is specific to CT scanning.

A third of this book goes into the various theories and research of consciousness - greatly appreciated this aspect of this book on the NDE phenomena.

One day in 1995 I died, and had a NDE. Ever since then, I've been reading everything I can on the subject.  According to most stories I've read, I had an unusual one, not going down a tunnel, but experiencing many interesting phenomena all the same. It seems to me that there are some NDE books and magazine articles that are just hype, and published just to give recognition. I have found, through my many years and multitudes of books on the subject, that there is an underlining truth and spirit that pervades the true experiences. So, I have compiled a list of my best reads for NDE books - ones that I consider genuine and adding validating light to the personal NDE experience. I have left out compilations, these are personal narratives. I hope you enjoy them too.

It's a good overview of home generator operations, but it's a little thin on details. Very readable and easy to understand, wish it covered more ground; like per hour operating costs and benefits-- gasoline vs. propane vs. natural gas vs. diesel. How big is too big? How small is too small? Slaving generator outputs together, linking multiple fuel tanks together. Backfeeding vs. hardwiring. You get the idea. Not as comprehensive as it could be, but  worth the money. You just need to expand on the details of the topics covered on your own. Still a need for a comprehensive home generator guide.

Solid, reasonably sized and organized guide on java applications for enterprise. Was helpful on general orientation and a number of lookups.
Don't think of it as of the last book you'll need to buy. Just  like a map of MA won't be of much help to find your way thru downtown  Boston, it should be supplemented later by more detailed  information.
However, you'll find Boston very quickly.
On the minus  side - author is not always precise in code samples. Not a big deal,  though.

Good content and just enough example to help reader visualize the concept. Having design and build a few systems with DDD in mind and the so call microservices architecture, the content of the book really sure helped identify issues we encountered and provide fairly sound reasons and suggestions to work with the limitation/common problem in distributed system. However, it gets a little dry towards the end hence the one less start. Generally the book is very easy to read and one can probably finish it within a few hours of leisure time.
