Tomorrow's Professor: Preparing for Careers in Science and Engineering Review

Reading this book brought back vivid memories of my own job hunt just a few years ago; of the time, energy, and preparation needed to get an academic position. The author mentions today's tight job market, and recommends that job seekers keep a broad view by not ruling out jobs in government or industry. The book is, however, a primer on obtaining a position in academe, and the preparation needed to succeed once you are there. Tomorrow's Professor is thoroughly researched, and covers just about every imaginable base in preparing someone for an academic career. It is well written and easily read. The first part of the book details the peculiar culture of a university, including its teaching, research, and service missions; its governing structure; and tenure. It confirms much of the anecdotal evidence about universities that I thought were particular to the schools that I was familiar with. In Part Two the author outlines the foundation necessary for gaining an academic position. Any student seriously considering a future career in academe must begin early on developing the research and teaching portfolio necessary to gain a coveted position. In research, it is important to begin publishing research papers, presenting results and making contacts at conference, and helping to obtain external support. For teaching, one must go beyond working as a teaching assistant, and start teaching one's own classes. For the current job seeker, the heart of the book is Part Three, where Reis outlines job identification and application strategies. The time and energy required to find out about a particular position and tailor one's application to fit the requirements is well worth the effort, he writes. This section also covers most of the steps necessary in preparing an excellent application, and it is often the inclusion of these details that can make or break an application. In today's tough job market, where hundreds of people often apply for a single position, following the steps outlined in this book could give applicants the edge they need to be noticed. Tomorrow's Professor: Preparing for Academic Careers in Science and Engineering is an extremely invaluable read.

A Secret World: Sexuality And The Search For Celibacy Review

Richard Sipe's study of how celibacy is lived providea challenge to the Church and to celibates themselves. The issues that Sipe raises uncovers the need on the part of the Roman Catholic Church to become engaged in the issues of celibate living from the beginning of a priest's training in the seminary to ongoing formation throughout his life.For the celibate Sipe's study is comforting as well as disconcerting. It is comforting because it demonstrates various ways of coping with celibacy in which many have achieved a lilfetime of celibate living. It is disconcerting because Sipe's revelations challenge the celibate to become more conscious of things he might take for granted.Sipe begins his study by reviewing the origins of celilbacy as well as defining the meanings of celibacy, The practices of celibacy take up a major portion of his study. While this section may disturb many, Sipe's research is based on 25 years of intervieiwng priests and male religious as well as other forms of research. Perhaps the fact that celibates engage in some sort of sexual activity, be it masturbation or sexual fantasies, pornography or sexual liasions demonstrates that celibacy, while a gift, is developmental. For those who lilve religious life, many do not express shock when they live less than ideal lives in the practice of poverty or obedience. Yet somehow something less than complete abstnence is the area of chastity is a shock.And that is where the challenge to the Church comes is. In the last secion of his book Sipe notes how archaic is the Church's teachings sexual morality. The human develops. And so does human sexuality develop. If celibacy is to be practiced it, too, will have to be adapted to human development. The implications actually go further then the Roman Catholic Church's value of celibate ministering. It impacts on the total teaching of sexual morality. Most of it is cognitive, or prophetic, as Sipes would have it. That means it prohibits or allows. Without a context of! an objective or lyrical voice, this prophetic voice sounds empty and certainly uninspiring. As Sipe points out, however, to attract men into celibacy, the Church needs to present a sexuality that is coinherent with one's human development in a transcendent experience. The Church's present teaching is integrated with deformative accretions from misguided applications of various philosophies to an ignorance of celibacy and sexual practice of Christ and his apostles.Sipe's study is most welcome and provides challenges, information and inspiration. He is not against celibacy and in fact promotes its achievement. But that achievement is a lifelong process whose appreciative formation can be realized only through a varieties of prayer and appreciative service, physical development among other things. This is long overdue. Sipe's reflections can be helpful in developing celibate formation programs. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

Product Description

Pressure vessels are found everywhere -- from basement boilers to gasoline tankers -- and their usefulness is surpassed only by the hazardous consequences if they are not properly constructed and maintained. This essential reference guides mechanical engineers and technicians through the maze of the continually updated International Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes that govern safety, design, fabrication, and inspection.

* 30% new information including coverage of the recent ASME B31.3 code

Pressure Vessels : ASME Code Simplified Review

This is an easy to use reference that allows a non technical person to deduce what ASME's code is there for and how it's used. ASME's Pressure Vessel Code is highly complex, huge, and if anything overly technical, with references pointing to other referenced callouts making one's search a back and forth elimination for overall understanding. This book breaks down the sections of the code into understandable abstracts that have mostly meat and leave the out the non essentials. I recommed it as a good reference book to those who need to get information quickly on pressure vessel compliance without having a code breaker and Phd in mechanical
mechanical engineering at your side.
