Good for Dimentional Modeling.......2007-10-05
I did not get chance to read it, but everybody says it the best source to learn Dimensional Modeling. I our project, the DBA is doing it.
A tool rather than a toolkit.......2007-07-03
This book delivers exactly what it says. Except that word "toolkit" in its title - you'd better think about this book being a single tool, not a whole toolkit. Ralph Kimball actually has a whole lot of books on data warehousing published, this is one of them, a tool in the toolkit. This one seems like a good starting point to the entire series, and it only shows a single facet - the dimensional modeling.
The book explains the basic principles of creating dimensions and fact tables in a data warehouse (assuming a relational star schema), and then dedicates a chapter per industry to show how those principles apply to sales, order management, CRM, accounting, human resources, financial services, telecoms, logistics, education, health care, e-commerce, insurance etc. Each one appears to be significantly different from the others.
There is a couple of teaser chapters starting with "we have that other book covering this, but will brief you out". Nice and makes you want to read the other books too.
The book also includes guidelines to the warehouse building process, in terms like "know your business sponsor", "talk to your users" and so on. Difficult to say what it has to do with dimensional modeling, perhaps it's included in all the books in the series.
There is no word on software, hardware, physical architecture, tuning or performance in this book. It is a textbook in dimensional modeling, period.
The book is written clearly, has a handful of simple and uniform diagrams and is easy to follow. It only leaves you wondering just how exactly large is the whole data warehouse area, how many pieces you need to collect yet.

Building a Data Warehouse.......2007-03-09
Excelent book, it shows how to build a good data warehouse by using the best patterns. I recommend the book to you, it is not as boring as another books regarding this issue, in addition it is cheap.
Great Book.......2007-03-08
This is a great book. Wish there was something like this for relational(3NF) modeling as well.

very bad.... .......2006-12-11
whatever pioneer or genius he is in the DW industry, the book is pretty bad, i wouldn't recommend it at all. the way he tries to convey concepts, explain techniques....
very bad organization, not clear but confusing sometimes, and very poor logical flow... he tries to make a big deal out of DW, when in fact it's not such a fancy or intellect intensive subject. very simple concepts are even hard to understand. someone else would be able to write a book more powerful and straight to the point in 100 pages MAX, and be much more useful....
it sucks when leaders don't know how to express themselves, maybe he was looking forward to have readers learn enough in DW to get projects started but not be able to do squat, and get some business from consulting...

Exactly what I needed.......2007-09-22
This book was much cheeper than the school book store and it was the exact same thing. It came in a very short time from ordering which is very important for a student! Thanks Amazon!
Dimensional Analysis for Meds.......2007-09-21
Purchased for college course. Book content and disk are both good. Math excercises on disk make learning/review very quick (e.g. decimal fractions - study + testing/mastery in an hour or so). Book itself however (paperback) had defective binding cover came unglued on 2nd day, but pages stayed intact. I plan to reglue myself.Dimensional Analysis for Meds
Execellent CD-ROM.......2007-09-19
I love the CD-ROM that came with this book. It makes the whole dimensional analysis process easy to learn and understand. After the first few lessons, I understand how to calculate a dose and an IV infusion rate and I haven't even read much of the text. Maybe it's just how I learn, but I find the CD-ROM alone to be worth the price of the book. If you have insecurities about math, this is the way to go.
review of service.......2007-08-23
I was pleased with the book as well as the service - it shipped on the day listed and arrived in two business days not four
Poorly devised text..........2007-08-16
I agree that one would reckon that 3 editions and in charging almost $80 for a text that is less than half an inch thick, Thompson could competently execute simple math operations. Next time, I will just run copies of a text for my partner and I, rather than pay for such a confounded and exploitative text.
Book Description
This book is well known and well respected in the civil engineering market and has a following among civil engineers. This book is for civil engineers that teach fluid mechanics both within their discipline and as a service course to mechanical engineering students. As with all previous editions this 10th edition is extraordinarily accurate, and its coverage of open channel flow and transport is superior. There is a broader coverage of all topics in this edition of Fluid Mechanics with Engineering Applications. Furthermore, this edition has numerous computer-related problems that can be solved in Matlab and Mathcad.

A comprehensive and understandable work on hydraulics..........2003-09-26
As a lecturer and graduate student in water resource engineering, I have read numberous textbooks covering the topic of fluid mechanics. I have reviewed textbooks written by aeronautical and mechanical engineers, and find that the civil engineers, particularly Dr.'s Finnemore and Franzini, have done an exemplary job in writing a book that is clear and logical, yet spares no detail, in presenting the fundamentals of fluids to undergraduates and graduates alike. The book begins with definitions, viscocity, and hydrostatics, then moves along to open-channel hydraulics and waterhammer.
The authors discuss the details in terms of concepts, testing, and mathematical computations while using a minimum of complicated vector integrals. They continue to present "the big picture" of hydraulics even while explaining fluid theory - a student and lecturer could not ask for more. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I laud this textbook and recommend it to any practicing civil or agricultural engineer, or to any student of engineering.
There isn't a rating less than 1 star?.......1999-09-01
I cannot help but feel like I would like to toss my cookies when I recall this work. Certainly, the author made a futile attempt to provide an apelike overview of fluid mechanics, as it was at the time- but did he really scrutinise those engineering applications? Really and truly? As a reader, I must judge for myself-does this textbook actually present a serious attempt to disseminate the theories and methodologies of fluid mechanics, or is it just a convenient outlet for the author to convey to his readers his most bizarre and disturbing fascination with pipes, heads, and viscous fluids? Personally, I wonder....

Ralph Kimball's The Data Warehouse Toolkit translates the author's extensive real-world design experience into a truly useful guide to building data warehouses for today's corporations. Written in a no-nonsense prose style, the author gives developers and managers the basics of designing, building, and running data warehouses that are effective and useful to upper management.
This book begins with the fundamentals of what data warehouses are and how they differ from traditional databases used in online transaction processing (OLTP). (Basically, data warehouses look at trends in millions of database records drawn from across organizations.) Once the author establishes this foundation, he solidly introduces the issues of data-warehouse design, using samples drawn from a wide variety of industries, including grocery stores, inventory warehouses, shipping, financial services, cable TV subscriptions, insurance, and travel. The author succinctly describes the relevant "dimensions" of each industry. (These are the values or features that management will most likely want to track for each industry. The data warehouse must be prepared to answer these "questions.")
The last section of the book covers the process of actually designing a data warehouse, from conducting user interviews to planning for the hardware needed to run a data warehouse (where databases easily run in gigabytes and include millions of records). This text also includes a discussion of how to create effective front ends for users (which will report the results of data-warehouse queries).
For its scope and intelligence, The Data Warehouse Toolkit is required reading for any developer or manager who wants to get a perspective on data warehouses before building one. --Richard Dragan

Dimensional Modeling Made Easy.......2003-09-26
Data warehosuing is a difficult subject to grasp. There are many disciplines that have to come together to make data warehousing work : database design, business understanding, management expertise, data mining, creating reports, project management, OLAP and more.
Finding a book that can full explain the full data warehousing picture is not possible, what one must look for is a series of books or materials that will together paint the full picture.
Building Dimensional Data Warehouses is one of the books that can help readers in the process of painting the whole data warehousing picture. Ralph Kimball is an experienced data warehousing leadder who has stayed away from hype and concentrates on facts.
The focus of this is book is creating the data structure for repositories in the data warehouse set-up. This is a highly recommended book for technical readers looking to enhance on their database design skills for building large data repositories that are optimized for providing analysis.
Business readers may obtain more value from reading some of the other of Mr. Kimball's books.
Please let me know if you have found this review helpful.
Great Starter.......2003-02-26
Great place to start learning about DW. The author builds the concepts layer upon layer. Very easy to follow the progression. Once you'e finished this book, then move on to Ralph's Lifecycle Toolkit for some nitty-gritty examples and much more about building data marts into datawarehouses.
A must read.......2002-11-14
This is the best book on dimensional modeling by the master himself.Equally useful for beginners as well as experts.
Data Warehousing by example.......2002-06-29
The real life implementation examples for different types of Data Warehouses from simple to the more complex, make this book one the better of the Data Warehousing books. Kimball is an leading authority in Data Warehouses since its beginnings, and the explanations and examples are very easy to understand. I took a Master's course in Data Warehousing and read Kimball's book and Ponniah's book(Data Warehousing fundamentals). Kimball's book was the better book of the two in how useful it was and easier to understand. The version I bought had a program to run reports based on the Data Warehouse structure for each type of example. It is an antiquated program (DOS based), but it is useful in learning and helps implement some actual Data Warehousing concepts. The program needs to be installed through the command line interface of the newer versions of Windows (2000 and XP).
Get the fundamentals of Dimension modeling from this book.......2002-05-01
This book contains concepts and implementation methodology associated with building and deploying a data warehouse.
To understand data warehouse, it is important to understand the difference between an OLTP system and a data warehouse (an OLAP system). The author first emphasizes this difference before getting into the nitty gritty of data modeling.
The author is a leading advocate of Dimension modeling. He gives clear reasons for doing so and then jumps into the techniques for dimension modeling, also called as Hub-and-Spoke architecture.
Book contains examples (in the form of chapters) of data warehouse models for many verticals such as shipping, insurance, banking, subscriptions, inventory. Going through these examples will help anyone to understand data modeling and to create a dimension model based on specific requirements.
The best book for fundamentals of data warehouse and especially, Dimension modeling.

ASIN: 0262200198 |
Book Description
The subject of turbulence, the most forbidding in fluid dynamics, has usually proved treacherous to the beginner, caught in the whirls and eddies of its nonlinearities and statistical imponderables. This is the first book specifically designed to offer the student a smooth transitionary course between elementary fluid dynamics (which gives only last-minute attention to turbulence) and the professional literature on turbulent flow, where an advanced viewpoint is assumed.
Moreover, the text has been developed for students, engineers, and scientists with different technical backgrounds and interests. Almost all flows, natural and man-made, are turbulent. Thus the subject is the concern of geophysical and environmental scientists (in dealing with atmospheric jet streams, ocean currents, and the flow of rivers, for example), of astrophysicists (in studying the photospheres of the sun and stars or mapping gaseous nebulae), and of engineers (in calculating pipe flows, jets, or wakes). Many such examples are discussed in the book.
The approach taken avoids the difficulties of advanced mathematical development on the one side and the morass of experimental detail and empirical data on the other. As a result of following its midstream course, the text gives the student a physical understanding of the subject and deepens his intuitive insight into those problems that cannot now be rigorously solved.
In particular, dimensional analysis is used extensively in dealing with those problems whose exact solution is mathematically elusive. Dimensional reasoning, scale arguments, and similarity rules are introduced at the beginning and are applied throughout.
A discussion of Reynolds stress and the kinetic theory of gases provides the contrast needed to put mixing-length theory into proper perspective: the authors present a thorough comparison between the mixing-length models and dimensional analysis of shear flows. This is followed by an extensive treatment of vorticity dynamics, including vortex stretching and vorticity budgets.
Two chapters are devoted to boundary-free shear flows and well-bounded turbulent shear flows. The examples presented include wakes, jets, shear layers, thermal plumes, atmospheric boundary layers, pipe and channel flow, and boundary layers in pressure gradients.
The spatial structure of turbulent flow has been the subject of analysis in the book up to this point, at which a compact but thorough introduction to statistical methods is given. This prepares the reader to understand the stochastic and spectral structure of turbulence. The remainder of the book consists of applications of the statistical approach to the study of turbulent transport (including diffusion and mixing) and turbulent spectra.

A First Course in Turbulence.......2006-09-16
This book is a "classic" in the field of turbulence. However, I cannot recommend it to anyone who is not a collector. The content is not particularly useful to the fluids engineer who must deal with practical issues of turbulent flow. Nor is this book the best reference for a PhD student or research scientist who must dig into the details. A much better choice for any reader in fluid dynamics is the the book on Turbulent Flow by Pope.
Interesting.......2006-08-05
Although it was my first book about turbulence, It was very easy to read.
Excellent and refreshingly brief discussion of turbulence.......2001-11-22
This book ranks among the classics for people who actually work with turbulent flows. It is a brief but well composed discussion of many of the most fundamental concepts describing turbulence. It is approachable and accurate. It is slightly dated and does not provide as many modeling details as would be useful, but it is excellent as a conceptual discussion.
Excellent Introduction to Subject of Turbulence.......2001-10-31
This book is an excellent introduction to the subject of turbulence for any newcomer in the field. The book is focus on the true heart of turbulence with the emphasis on the physical insight. Justified by physical simplification, the scaling argument/similarity methods are basic tools to solve turbulence problem in the book. The solution from such methods give you the impression of the key physical mechanism behinds turbulent flows and hence the better understanding of the flows. Follow the way authors solve the problem closely, you will know how to do a hand combat with a real world turbulence problem.
The book requires only a knowledge of basic calculus as well as tensor notation. You only need a simple tensor operation. There is no requirement of statistical/stochastic tool knowledge. You can start this book right after you finish reading a advance fluid mechanics book e.g. Batchelor(1967), Panton(1996) and White(1991).
With my long experience in turbulence subject, I would say if I have to choose only one book for general purpose, I will defintely have "A First Course in Turbulence by Tennekes and Lumley". I have been reading the book more than 3--4 times but I find the book never ceases to give me a new insight of turbulence everytime I read.
Nonetheless, if you are looking for the bible of turbulence. I really mean the bible. You might consider having "Statistical Fluid Mechanics Vol 1 and 2 by Monin and Yaglom".
Introductory level textbook.......2000-09-04
A good basic textbook about turbulent fluid flows, recommended for undergraduate and early graduate students. Not a high-level reference (should look at Hinze's for that) and a few topics, ideas, etc. are somewhat outdated now.
Book Description
This straightforward approach to dimensional analysis incorporates the simple to complex strategy while focusing on understanding how to problem solve. The Third Edition includes more practice problems, more case studies, and new features: Preventing Medication Errors and Solving Pediatric Problems. Pedagogy includes numerous exercises and actual drug labels throughout, as well as tear-out tests at the end of each chapter for faculty evaluation. A free CD-ROM containing more than 100 extra calculation problems is included with this edition. The ancillary package includes an Instructor's Resource CD-ROM.
Customer Reviews:
Wordy, out-of-touch with real world medication therapy and anything but, "made easy." .......2006-12-19
Simply stated, too much of this book reads like a verbose dissertation. For instance, "The 4.5ml/hr is the wanted quantity and is the answer to the problem." p. 142
Wanted quantity...what's wrong with, "4.5ml/hr is the answer!"
This type of wordiness is evident throughout the book and is totally without merit.
The author has developed equations called, "sequential method", and "random method" to problem solve. Nurses don't need to re-think simple math. The authors' computations are confusing...and I've been calculating drips for 10 years.
Finally, I'd like to comment on the drug conentrations used in problems. On page 141, Dobutamine is used in a problem with a concentration of 250mg/50cc. I understand that, theoretically, a nurse should be able to solve any drip problem. And perhaps the patient required extremely strict fluid parameters. But rarely, if ever, would a nurse see this concentration in real life. This drug has come premixed for years. Mixing is antiquated and, potentially, a step when errors can occur.
Still presenting drams and grains--without at least noting the utter abandonment of such measurements in this day and age--is a disservice to any new nurse.
New nurses should be presented with real-life scenarios in order to build strong clinical foundations.
These authors, I feel, are completely out of touch with contemporary hospital practices and should not be authoring critical information.
Book Description
This classic textbook for all users of NMR spectroscopy shows the basics of this technique and how to interpret the spectra. Covering the material taught in graduate courses, this text provides both students and professionals with a lucid introduction, thoroughly explaining the underlying theory but with a minimum of mathematics. Written by an NMR expert with long-standing teaching experience, this thoroughly enlarged and updated fourth edition includes
- polymer solid state NMR
- analysis of biopolymers
- applications of magnetic resonance tomography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
With its layout and illustrations designed for maximum clarity, this is a must for students and lecturers in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, as well as spectroscopists.
From reviews of previous editions:
This book deserves much praise... The book forms an excellent bridge between the very simple texts on spectral interpreataion and more specialist works with an emphasis on mathematical theory... The many diagrams are clear and of high quality, and the examples of NMR spectra throughout the book are well chosen. This book is highly educational and will be of benefit to those who have to teach NMr and to students and scientists in academic and industrial laboratories who use NMR spectroscopy.
NMR in Biomedicine
'This is an excellent book ... we have been using the first edition of the book in our graduate course in NMR for three years and have been very pleased with it. My opinion is that someone who began knowing nothing about NMR could become quite proficient at structure determination by simply mastering the contents of this book. I highly recommend it.'
Journal of the American Chemical Society.
'Almost every course in chemistry and biochemistry nowadays has some NMR component, and the student's interest depends on how the material is delivered. This book is a pleasure to read and if it does not arouse the student's interest, then it is difficult to see what could. It is clearly written and illustrated, with a near perfect balance of mathematics and text.'

Readable.......2000-04-19
As a student who doesn't always understand what they're talking about, this book was wonderful. Very clear, very easy-to-understand language. Thanks!
Book Description
This monograph presents a complete and rigorous study of modern functional analysis. It is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods, but does not have an extensive background and does not plan to make a career as a functional analyst. It develops the topological structures in connection with measure theory, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences (multifunctions), and the analytic approach to Markov processes. Many of the results were previously available only in works scattered throughout the literature. The choice of material was motivated from problems in control theory and economics, although the material is more applicable than applied.
Customer Reviews:
An excellent treatment of mathematical methods for economist.......1998-10-20
The monograph covers advanced mathematical methods for economists. It includes chapters on general topology, topological vector spaces, Riesz spaces and Banach lattices, measure and integration, etc. While the book does not contain (hardly) any economics, the mathematics covered is selected under the aspect of later applications to economics. The book contains for example a long chapter on correspondences, a topic which is hardly covered by any standard math book. The presentation of the mathematics is throughout clear and precise. The advantage of the book is that it covers a wide range of mathematical topics, which could not be found together in a book before. Graduate students in economic theory can use it as a text book, but it can also be used as a reference book. The only lacks of the book are that there are no exercises and that not all math areas important to economics (e.g. differential topology) are covered. Overall, this is an excellent book and should become part of the library of everybody interested in mathematical economics.

Book Description
The problem of evaluating Feynman integrals over loop momenta has existed from the early days of perturbative quantum field theory. The goal of the book is to summarize those methods for evaluating Feynman integrals that have been developed over a span of more than fifty years. `Feynman Integral Calculus' characterizes the most powerful methods, in particular those used for recent, quite sophisticated calculations, and then illustrates them with numerous examples, starting from very simple ones and progressing to nontrivial examples This book characterizes methods of evaluation of Feynman integrals in a systematic way. It concentrates on the methods that have been employed recently for most sophisticated calculations. Feynman Integral Calculus explains how the problem of evaluation has become ever more important since what could be easily evaluated has already been evaluated years ago. It demonstrates and explains how to perform the newest important calculations, while showing how to choose adequate methods and combine evaluation methods in a non-trivial way. The most powerful methods of calculation of Feynman integrals are characterized and then illustrated through numerous examples, starting from very simple ones and culminating in rather nontrivial examples.
This is a textbook version of the previous book (Evaluating Feynman integrals, STMP 211) of the author. Problems and solutions have been included, Appendix G has been added, more details have been presented, recent publications on evaluating Feynman integrals have been taken into account and the bibliography has been updated.
