One of the greatest courses for the Egyptian dialect by far
By TheophilusBana
To start off, I have to say; this has to be one of the most articulate, well organized book on how to speak and understand Egyptian Arabic. I can not thank Jane Whitewick and Mohammed Gafaar enough for laying aside their typical Modern Standard Arabic books to write a book on an actual dialect of Arabic. Both Whitewick's and Gafaar's books on Modern Standard Arabic have already a good reputation for its articulate and well organized fashion, and they transferred this same kind of style to this book. Sadly, I think their two previous editions of this book were lacking both in dialogue, vocabulary, and grammar points. However, they have such a great passion for people who want to learn Arabic that they actually were informed of the negative feedback and came up with this new edition. This edition has an English-Arabic dictionary, extra material on the publishers website, and all the dialogues in Arabic transcript in the back of the book for those who already know the Arabic script who think they are more comfortable reading it in Arabic for clarity (all the dialogues are in romanized transliteration).

I can not stress how important this book is for learning Egyptian Arabic as the book is well written and somewhat thorough. In contrast, the Kallimni 'Arabi courses for Egyptian Arabic suffer an extremely major flaw; it presupposes that it's audience has a sufficient amount of knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic to read the instructions in it! This is a huge problem because as most learners of Arabic know; there is a limited amount of resources for learning pure colloquial Arabic. Egyptian is well documented, but there are other dialects that need a good tour de force course. Even if there is, they are either probably overpriced, horribly written, leak Modern Standard Arabic into the course, or presupposes prior knowledge in Literary Arabic. This books flies right past all this (except its price with the cds included of course) and presents Arabic as understandably as it can, presupposing no prior knowledge in Arabic. Buying this course with the supplement CDs is enormously beneficial as it can help you correctly understand pronunciation and emphasis.

In all honesty, if you want to learn Egyptian Arabic, whether you are branching off from Modern Standard Arabic or find MSA useless for you, this should be your very first resource. From looking through this book quickly however, I sense that this course alone will not really be the "complete course" it really promises to be. What I mean is that you will definitely need much more information to completely convey in Egyptian Arabic. Sadly, I contacted the publisher and found out that there will not be a release of a part 2 in this series which is greatly upsetting. However, if you want to build on your early fluency after this book, here are my suggestions. First, buy an English-Egyptian dictionary to expand your vocabulary. Second, you can also get Maurice Salib's, "Spoken Arabic of Cairo", which is an introductry course as well. Salib's book is also written in romanized script which can be helpful. Thirdly, if you can, try and find an intermidate Egyptian Arabic course or another book that is transliterated. The biggest benefit would be to learn MSA and have the help of a native speaker so you can use the Kallimni 'Arabi series which will definitely get you to a near fluent level. Last of all, watch and listen to Egyptian shows, songs, and movies as Cairo is essentially the Hollywood of the Middle East! Listening and watching will help you understand grammatical structure and recognize words with its correct pronunciation! Study and keep studying as it is key to learning any new language.

Almost every Arab in other Arab countries can understand Egyptian Arabic due to Egypt's mass influence on Arabic popular media with shows,songs, etc, making it the most understood dialect of Arabic. You will not be disappointed, this will be your major breakthrough in actually learning spoken Arabic both fast and articulately.

Egyptian Arabic from scratch. Good for absolute beginners or those who understand Modern Standard Arabic.
By Patrick T. Baggett
In the US, it seems like there is mindset of "standard Arabic first, then dialects", and the existing learning materials seem to strongly suggest that dialects are somehow some kind of "advanced" study. This book breaks away from that model and starts with "So you speak English, huh?" and goes from there.

Short version: Is it good? Yes. Is it great? Maybe. Could it be better? A bit. Should you buy it? Probably. Will you be able to talk about desires, activities, food, shopping, places, dates, and travel in the past, present, and future? Yes. Will you reach "B1" level after completing this book? Eh, if you practice a lot of what you learn you may fall somewhat below it.

The course begins with greetings and slowly increases your vocabulary while throwing in grammar and culture points. The book is broken into a sequence of "units". The lessons in the units are "dialogue based", meaning that you typically see a particular piece of dialog with some concept (say "adjectives" or "the past tense") repeated many times, then a translation and mini-glossary for that particular conversation. The Arabic conversation is presented as a transliteration using the Latin script, but with a few digits (e.g. 9 = ع) and digraphs (e.g. 'sh' for the IPA sound /ʃ/). Stress is marked with an accent mark over vowels. If you are more comfortable with the Arabic script (and honestly, I'm not sure who reads an entire "Learn Arabic" book written in English but is more comfortable with the Arabic script), then you can use the Arabic script version in the back of the book -- but it has no vowels. Typically, you listen to the conversation a few times, then move on the to the lesson and activities. So let me say that again just to be clear: Every conversation has: a) Conversation in transliterated Arabic, b) English translation, c) Glossary for that conversation, d) Conversation in Arabic script (no vowel markings).

After the dialogues, you typically see a breakdown of the grammar concepts you just witnessed, and they often refer back to specific textual examples in the conversation. This is good for reinforcing what you've just read, or comprehending it -- and often times, you'll not be able to understand what you are reading/listening to until after you've read either the translation or the glossary. There are other writing / listening exercises that come after to make sure you get it. Per "unit" you will see usually two or three dialogues, grammar explanations with examples, a couple of listening exercises, and some reading / writing exercises. This book will not really help you learn to speak well, but there is more than enough material to get yourself on a site like italki.com or conversationexchange.com and find a conversation partner to practice some phrases and words with.

At the end of each unit is some bit about learn the Arabic script, usually 2-3 letters at a time. I am already quite comfortable with the Arabic script, so I did not make use of those exercises. Honestly, there are probably better ways to learn the script, but this is probably sufficient.

Purists may hate the fact that it takes until nearly the end of the book to fully learn the Arabic script, but the target audience is different: the audience is people who have never studied Arabic before. The script is an eventual necessity, but for speaking / listening, it's less so.

So what's good? The grammar explanations and examples are very useful. Transliterated is great for learners and to capture some of the oddities of going from written (standard) Arabic to spoken dialects, especially the vowel elisions and shortenings.

What isn't so good? Majority of the dialogues are great and on point, but sometimes they can throw in some weird stuff. Take this example: "Is she still afraid of aeroplanes? Yes, but she got a sedative from the doctor." Sedatives? Some other fun words I found while reading: "savages", "water pipe", "to breed".

What is bad: Honestly, the narrator (and I hope that it is not the author, Jane Wightwick) has the most dull, slow, and monotone voice I have heard in a while. It just sucks the enthusiasm right out of the lesson -- they really need to have someone who sounds excited to be alive; it's just painful to listen to the introductions to the audio tracks. I'm always waiting for the Arabic to start and the terrible, grandmotherly English drawl to end. The Arabic itself is fine, although sometimes it can sound a bit artificial. I suppose that's OK for learning a language though.

Petroleum Geoscience, by Jon Gluyas, Richard Swarbrick

Petroleum Geoscience is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geology and geophysics to the search for and production of oil and gas.

Uniquely, this book is structured to reflect the sequential and cyclical processes of exploration, appraisal, development and production. Chapters dedicated to each of these aspects are further illustrated by case histories drawn from the authors' experiences. Petroleum Geoscience has a global and 'geo-temporal' backdrop, drawing examples and case histories from around the world and from petroleum systems ranging in age from late-Pre-Cambrian to Pliocene.

In order to show how geoscience is integrated at all levels within the industry, the authors stress throughout the links between geology and geophysics on the one hand, and drilling, reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering, facilities design, and health, safety and the environment on the other.


  • Petroleum Geoscience is designed as a practical guide, with the basic theory augmented by case studies from a wide spread of geographical locations.
  • Covers all the key aspects of the origin of petroleum, exploration, and production. It takes account of the modern emphasis on the efficient utilisation of reserves, on new methods in exploration (such as 3-D seismics).
  • Book takes 'value-chain' approach to Petroleum Geoscience.
  • First new text on petroleum geology for geology undergraduates to be published in the last ten years.
  • Packed full of real-life case studies from Petroleum industry.

Review
"Despite the importance of Geology in the exploitation of hydrocarbon resources, there are remarkably few texts that explain in any detail exactly how a geoscientist goes about doing this job...The publication now of Petroleum Geoscience is therefore extremely welcome. Its coverage is both wide and deep, and it is right up-to-date with advances in technology and methods of practice...The authors bring to this book a wealth of personal practical experience and understanding gained from their own time working in oil companies and on research. As well as covering the theory, they make excellent use of examples to bring home the key points. Published examples are supplemented by extensive amounts of previously unpublished material from the oil company BP and with their own insights from involvement in many of these projects. Clearly illustrated is how academic enthusiasm has to be tempered by economic realism." Colin North, University of Aberdeen, Teaching Earth Sciences, 2003

Petroleum Geoscience - Gluyas & Swarbrick
By Wayne Ahr
This is one of the newest books on petroleum geosciences. It is a bit too advanced for beginners; consequently, I would not use it as a stand-alone text for an upper-level undergraduate course in petroleum geology, especially for students with diverse academic backgrounds. I would use it as a complementary text because it covers up-to-date material not in other books on the subject, most of which are years - if not decades - older than this one. This book also includes material on geophysics and especially on borehole logging, including the newer types of devices and the logs they produce. The authors are professionals and know what they're doing. This is a good reference with material not in Selley, North, or Levorsen.

Semiparametric Regression (Cambridge Series in Statistical and Probabilistic Mathematics), by David Ruppert, M. P. Wand, R. J. Carroll

Science abounds with problems where the data are noisy and the answer is not a straight line. Semiparametric regression analysis helps make sense of such data in application areas that include engineering, finance, medicine and public health. The book is geared towards researchers and professionals with little background in regression as well as statistically oriented scientists (biostatisticians, econometricians, quantitative social scientists, and epidemiologists) with knowledge of regression and the desire to begin using more flexible semiparametric models.

Review
"I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the field. It is very readable, informative without being heavy, and (excellent news) comes in a paperback version as well as hardback."
ISI Short Book Reviews

"This great book is the first one to remove barriers and to close gaps between advanced statistical methodology and applied research in various fields ... I highly recommend this book ... It provides a very readable access to modern semiparametric regression, demonstrates its potential in various applications, and is an inspiring source for new ideas. I enjoyed reading this book."
Biometrics

"... contains clear presentations of new developments in the field and also the state of the art in classical methods... I found it an easily readable book; its coverage of material was extensive and well explained and well illustrated ... I found the material useful and I recommend it strongly to anyone who is interested in modern nonparametric methods, whether they are expert or not ... here are 500-odd pages of good teaching material, nicely done, culminating in the arc-sine law and the Black-Scholes formula: anyone teaching probability would be glad to have it to hand."
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

"This book provides an extensive overview of techniques for semiparametric regression ... I think it may be very useful for a more practically oriented audience."
Kwantitatieve Methoden

"This book is a very nice book for data analysis and indicates how to flexibly develop and analyze complex models using penalized spline functions. The examples are nontrivial and very useful."
Mathematical Reviews

"Although appealing to statistically-oriented scientists, this book also should not fail to attract the attention of experts in the field, because it provides a fresh perspective on smoothing and addresses ongoing computational and theoretical issues. The text is quite comprehensive, and the chapters are carefully organized for a coherent development of the subject...this is a book that I would strongly recommend to practitioners who want to learn nonparametric regression techniques and apply them to their own problems without being burdened by advanced mathematical concepts such as a reproducing kernel Hilbert space."
Yoonkyung Lee, Journal of the American Statistical Association

another great text by the team if Ruppert and Carroll
By Michael R. Chernick
David Ruppert and Ray Carroll have been a research team for over 25 years. They have published many articles and books on regression analysis. These articles are always very clearly written and are great at showing the big picture and not just the nitty gritty details of the theorems that they prove. Two of my favorite books that they published are "Transformations and Weighting in Regression" published by Chapman & Hall in 1988 and "Measurement Error in Nonlinear Models " with Stefanski in 1995 and also published by Chapman & Hall.

This book is no exception. It is lucid in expostion and paints a general picture summarizing the area of nonparametric regression models and incorporating them with parametric regression both linear and nonlinear.

Their work has also been motivated by the desire to extend the theory of regression models to practical problems where the standard theory with assumptions such as linearity, normality, and homogeneity of variance don't hold.

In the first chapter, they motivate their methods through a number of examples in the areas of health science and environmental pollution problems. Chapter two goes through the standard linear regression models and the diagnostic checks for those models. They also cover other practical issues including model selection, use of transformations and extensions to nonlinear models. The special case of polynomial regression (a particular example of linear regression) is presented in detail.

Chapter 3 on scatterplot smoothing introduces many of the key ideas to their approach to semiparametric regression. Their approach in its most general form is based on mixed models which are introduced in chapter 4. Chapter 5 deals with automated methods for implementing the scatterplot smoothing techniques. The remaining chapters cover for example, simple semiparametric models, additive models, semiparametric mixed models, and generalized parametric models which include the very useful generalized linear models that they have extended to cover mixed effects.

The generalized additive models of Tibshirani and Hastie are covered in chapter 11, Other important issues including variance function estimation, accounting for measurement error, Bayesian approaches and more are covered in the latter chapters (12-17), Finally in chapter 18 seven examples are introduced to illustrate applications of the various methods. An epilogue, chapter 19, was written to motivate further research.

Many of these chapter are the subjects of whole monographs including some that Ruppert and Carroll have co-authored. In the preface they say that the book is intended for three potential audiences. The first audience is the students and scientists with interest in applying the techniques or learning about them but possess at most a moderate background in regression. The second audience (the group I would put myself in)are the biostatisticians ,econometricians and scientists in other disciplines who have a good working knowledge of regression and want to add the flexibility of semiparametric methods to their arsenal of techniques. The third group is the researchers in nonparametric regression who may not yet know about some of the new advances of Carroll, Ruppert and Wand that are included in this text.

I find in general that their books are masterpieces. As a statistician who has done both applied and theoretical work, I know what it takes to write books that summarize a body of theory or connect the theory and applications, or incorporate new results. These authors do both of these things in this book. They have the rare talent to find a way to unify and simplify existing theory and that is another great feature you will find in this book.

I haven't been able to do that and only a few others that I know can. One example that comes to my mind is the book on extremes by Leadbetter, Lindgren and Rootzen. At the time if of publication in 1978, they provided a unified theory for extremes combining the theory for independent and dependent cases. They also provide some examples in the bppk. But even that landmark book is heavily theoretical. Ruppert, Carroll and Wand emphasize applications and provide a number of examples throughout.

From Booklist
The bright, cheerful design of the Life: A How-to Guide series helps make it seem as if life skills are something to look forward to rather than suffer through. The tone is upbeat without being overly enthusiastic, and the advice offered is generally very sound. The format varies slightly with topics, but each book includes around eight chapters with text broken up courtesy of sidebar sections and well-chosen quotes. Bold, unevenly shaped boxes set off the illustrations nicely. Dealing with Stress defines stress before discussing it in physiological and emotional terms and making numerous suggestions for coping mechanisms. Each book includes notes, suggestions for further reading, websites, and an index. Grades 6-9. --Susan Dove Lempke

I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS A TEEN!
By S. Phillips
In an ever increasingly complicated world, Wroble has thrown out a life support to a generation of young adults that is sorely in need. Clear explanations for the types of stress, various symptoms, and healthy coping skills are offered in an easy to understand format that provide possible relief within reach for the reader. The lighthearted manner in which the book is written provides immediate solace to those under pressure. As a teen I thought my waves of reoccurring abdominal pain and nausea, two months prior to graduation, were frightening as I secretly thought I had some unexplained illness. Today I am surprised to read about other symptoms I had never thought were stress related. Parents should buy it for their kids and read it also.

This Is NOT A Diet Book--But It Could Revolutionize How You Eat!
By Jimmy Moore from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb
UK's premier low-carb physician and health journalist is Dr. John Briffa and he's back with a fabulous new nutritional health book entitled Escape The Diet Trap: Lose Weight For Good Without Calorie-Counting, Extensive Exercise or Hunger. This book continues to spread the message that weight loss isn't just about cutting your calories, eating less food, exercising until you pass out and suffering through glorified bouts of starvation. Instead, by embracing a healthy high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb nutritional lifestyle change, you can be freed from the bondage of the typical "diet" trends that are out there and live a life that is enjoyable and healthy at the same time. Dr. Briffa is the first to tell you that "this is not a diet book" and you'll quickly find out how it could revolutionize how you eat forever! He's quite an articulate and passionate defender of this way of eating that is changing the lives of real people every single day through stunning weight and health changes.

In this book, Dr. John Briffa explains how to get out of "the diet trap":

- He likes to keep "a healthy distance" from the white coat photos
- His "duty as a human being" to tell people these nutritional truths
- Why health journalism tends to be skewed against low-carb diets
- The major UK newspaper that ran excerpts from his new book
- A "real shift" happening in the minds of people about health
- His optimism about the "sea change of opinion" about low-carb
- How print media is "catching up" to the online journalism
- The trickle-down effect happening in the health blogosphere
- Looking at the comments of print media online is eye-opening
- Health professionals find the engaged patient "very difficult"
- The infallibility mindset that many physicians have about health
- How people are becoming "less deferential" to doctors now
- His pessimism about medical education shifting to nutrition
- Why non-medical people have more "objectivity" about health
- In medicine "we are allowed to do loads of things that don't work"
- The remuneration that doctors receive for reaching certain goals
- Doctors feel "compelled" financially to do the standard treatments
- His appreciation for the rebellious work of Dr. William Davis
- Wheat is "not the staff of life, it's the staff of nightmares"
- The story behind his disclaimer that "this is not a diet book"
- Many people want to read books that say more than "just do this"
- The heavy emphasis on BMI and why it's not the best obesity measure
- How waist circumference is a better way to measure body fat
- If you have a gut, then you need to get rid of it
- The actuaries who determine what health insurance should cost
- Why "cutting back" is exactly the wrong thing to do
- 1950 research shows the "disaster" that low-calorie diets are
- The body becomes resistant to weight loss as calories decrease
- How hunger is a one-way ticket for failure for weight loss
- How 1600 calories/day could be a "starvation" diet for some
- Why "a piece of fish and vegetables" isn't what a hungry person craves
- The less hungry you are, the more weight you'll lose and keep off
- Hunger "jeopardizes" weight loss efforts and why it should be avoided
- The hunger scale he encourages people to measure
- Why he promotes the use of a snack between lunch and dinner
- You can be "self-nourished" by using intermittent fasting
- Why fruit is "overrated" and not an ideal snack for controlling hunger
- Why he no longer consumes breakfast regularly anymore
- Cereal and toast for breakfast makes you hungry quickly
- How you can eat a little more low-carb food to go longer between meals
- Why "you should have animal" in your soup if you eat it
- The sandwich lunch culture that exists in the UK
- If he could outlaw just one food, it would be bread

Serious subject with humor and common sense
By Janet Cole
Not just about weight loss, but a lot about just eating the way our bodies were designed to utilize food. Dr. Briffa doesn't lecture about what we should do. He seems to share what he has seen working for himself and his patients. Even better: it doesn't really cost anything (aside from the cost of the book) to give his ideas a try.

Much needed!
By James F. Rendek
This is the book I was thinking needed to be written. It's for hard losers who want to be healthy while shedding the pounds. You won't find much new in the book but what you will find is a well written, easy to understand combination of Atkin's and Primal eating. This is the single best diet approach for most obese and health challenged individuals. I still recommend reading Atkin's, The Primal Blueprint and The Paleo Solution but this (as far as I can tell) is the first true progressive merger!

The Anthropocene Project: Virtue in the Age of Climate Change, by Byron Williston

The evidence presented in the recently released Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests strongly that continued failure to make meaningful cuts to greenhouse gas emissions could bring about disastrous results for the human community, especially for future generations. Summing up the findings of AR5, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, has stated that our persistent inaction on climate change presents a grave threat to 'the very social stability of human systems'.

The Anthropocene Project attempts to make philosophical sense of this, examining the reasons for the inaction highlighted by the IPCC, and suggests the normative bases for overcoming it. Williston identifies that we are now in 'the human age'-the Anthropocene-but he argues that this is no mere geological marker. It is instead best viewed as the latest permutation of an already existing moral and political project rooted in Enlightenment values. The author shows that it can be fruitful to do climate ethics with this focus because in so many aspects of our culture we already endorse broadly Enlightenment values about progress, equality, and the value of knowledge. But these values must be robustly instantiated in the dispositions of moral agents, and so we require a climate ethics emphasizing the virtues of justice, truthfulness, and rational hope.

One of the book's most original claims is that our moral failure on this issue is, in large part, the product of motivated irrationality on the part of the world's most prosperous people. We have failed to live up to our commitments to justice and truthfulness because we are, respectively, morally weak and self-deceived. Understanding this provides the basis for the rational hope that we might yet find a way to avoid climate catastrophe.

Review

"By relating his discussion to "mainstream" ethics, action theory and moral philosophy, Williston provides an excellent bridge for philosophers, from the familiar literature of their discipline to the facts about climate change. For environmentalists and others with little experience in philosophy, the book bears powerful witness to the relevance of our discipline... I recommend this book strongly to all those who want to see how some traditional philosophical notions can be extended in our struggle to cope with climate change."-- Dale Jamieson,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 02/09/2016


"Williston exemplifies these virtues as well as discusses them. His book is generous, well-written, and carefully argued. I recommend this book strongly to all those who want to see how some traditional philosophical notions can be extended in our struggle to cope with climate change."-Dale Jamieson, New York University
