...applied to the star rating of books. In brief, the Doppler effect addresses the perceived frequency of waves, such as a fire truck's siren, by taking into account the actual frequency, and the relative speeds of the source of the sound, and the observer.

I have to say that my opinion of this book has changed little since I first read it, back in high school. Basically, I don't like it. I did give it two stars though, because I have mixed feelings about it. In fact, the total dislike I felt for it the first time has mellowed somewhat. But not by much.
I consider it a masterpiece, albeit a flawed one. The prose style is definitely the work... more

To begin, Kudos to Amazon for processing & shipping this product in a timely manner, and having it arrive in a condition that was better than expected. It certainly saved a few $ from buying it from a major retailer.
That said, despite this being the 2010 version, upon taking the ASVAB I quickly realized that very little of the information and preps found within were actually applicable... more

This book was published in 1969, I would have been 12 so I am guessing I read it sometime in the 70's, my teen years and I remember being very moved. I have not read it again, but am planning to do so. I am very surprised and shocked at the controversy!! I had no idea someone wouldnt like it, or have the impressions that have been written in these reviews. I do know that rereading books from... more
