Tenth International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF10)
This proceedings includes papers that were presented at the 10th International Conference on Cold Fusion held in Cambridge, MA, in August 2003.Following the initial announcements by Martin Fleischmann and Stan Pons in 1989 of an excess heat effect in electrolysis experiments with PdD, both theoretical and experimental work has been pursued by scientists seeking to understand the excess heat and related phenomena.Similarly, following the announcement of Steve Jones of low-level nuclear emissions from TiD, scientists have continued to explore the effect.Recent results in these areas and other areas were reported in more than 90 proceedings papers included in this proceedings.Topics reported on include: [1] experiments on excess heat, calorimetry, correlation of excess heat and helium, laser-induced excess heat; [2] tritium production; [3] transmutation, including elemental and isotopic anomalies, the Iwamura experiment, and other observations; [4] nuclear emissions from metal deuterides; [5] theory.

The conference was very strong technically.Because of the success of this conference, DoE conducted a review of cold fusion in 2004. ... Read more

Great book, but no customer services from MCP/QUE
Great book if you want learn what is the Cold Fusion.However, I had an error when I installed the single version cold fusion that it come with the book.I called the MCP/QUE user support but cut me off with the phonemessages.I emailed them but no response.

A must for beginners and intermediate CF users alike
Before I bought this book I had never heard of Cold Fusion (Except the Nuclear stuff in school). After using this book I had a database driven web site up in a week. If you are new to CF and do not have version 4.0, BUYIT! lots of great examples.

Still use this as a constant reference
I have had this book for about a year and a half and I still find myself returning to it again and again (Probably because my memory isn't what it used to be). Introduces web designers todatabase creation for dynamic webpage generation. Great examples that show how easy it is to create web todatabase integration. Shows uses of javascript with Cold Fusion.If youcan't wait for Cold Fusion 4.0 to come out, get this one!

The ONLY book I would recommend to get going quickly
I picked up this book not even knowing what Cold Fusion was capable ofdoing and within days I was writting code that could be used within ourorganization.The size may intimidate, but it covers every topic you needto know.My only complaint is the brief (and confusing) manner in whichsession variables are explained - an important topic if you need to developsecure web sites.

A Great, But DATED book This is not 3.0 !!!!!!!!!!!
I have had to make extensive use of some of the new 3.0 features. They are NOT covered here. This is the best organized & best written reference on the subject of Cold Fusion.Unfortunatley it is useless for 3.0 features, I had to use the online manual & the John Burke book to decipher them. To his credit he has not labeled the book 3.0, but he has not labeled it 2.0 either. ... Read more

Product Description
While historical and political aspects of the Russo-German relationship over the past three to four centuries have received due attention from scholars, the range of the far more diverse, important, and peculiar cultural relations still awaits full assessment. This volume shows how enriching these cultural influences were for both countries, affecting many spheres of intellectual and daily life such as philosophy and religion, education and ideology, sciences and their application, arts and letters, custom and language. The German-Russian relationship has always been particularly intense. Oscillating as it has between infatuation and contempt, it has always been marked by a singular paradox: a German cultural presence in Russia resulting either in a more or less complete fusion, as in the case of Russifield German, or in a pronounced mutual repulsion, accompanied by the denigration of each other's culture as inferior. It is this curious paradox that determines the perspectives of the articles that were specially written for this volume, providing it with a unifying focus. ... Read more

Product Description
Undead Science examines the story of cold fusion, one ofthe most publicized scientific controversies of the late twentiethcentury. In 1989 two Utah-based "discoverers" claimed to havedeveloped an electrochemical process that produced more energy thanwas required to initiate the process. Finding no other explanation,the researchers described their findings as some kind of nuclearreaction. If they were correct, an important new energy source wouldhave been found. Objections surfaced quickly, and in the year thatfollowed hundreds of scientists worldwide attempted to reproduce theseresults. Most, though not all, failed, and the controversy becameincreasingly antagonistic. By 1990, the promise of an energyrevolution died as scientific opinion favored theskeptics. Nevertheless, many scientists continue to do research oncold fusion, an instance of what Bart Simon calls "undead science."

Simon argues that in spite of widespread skepticism in the scientificcommunity, there has been a continued effort to make sense of thecontroversial phenomenon. Researchers in well-respected laboratoriescontinue to produce new and rigorous work. In this manner, cold fusionresearch continues to exist long after the controversy has subsided,even though the existence of cold fusion is circumscribed by thewidespread belief that the phenomenon is not real.

The survival of cold fusion signals the need for a more complex understanding of the social dynamics of scientific knowledge making, the boundaries between experts, intermediaries, and the lay public, and the conceptualization of failure in the history of science and technology. ... Read more

A very good reference
This book fills the niche for those who have some experience and those who have none. In clear and easy to understand steps, the author guides the programmer through html, through forms and on to advanced concepts inColdFusion database manipulation. While there are some errors, if one takesthe time to actually READ the book, YOU will be able to use the informationgained through reading to find and correct those errors (and that's a goodfeeling!) An excellent value and an excellent resource. One provisionthough, in order to get the MOST from this book, it is necessary toactually READ it!

This book is terrible
My shredder had a hey day with this rag

Poorly written, innappropriate subject matter, and errors!
This book seems to try to please all audiences and ends up failing on all counts.It doesn't work for someone who is familiar with cold fusion and the databases covered in the book and doesn't work for those who are starting with no background knowledge.The writting is poor and difficult to understand from a grammatical perspective.The information is basically regurgitated from install manuals for various products.The chapters describing various databases do little more than tell you how to install them(click install icon, then follow the instructions on the screen).I would not recommend this book to anyone for any reason.

This book is hideous.
This book is not for those looking for a good reference source for two very good reasons.It attempts to teach CF by example, which might be adequate for those who have never worked with CF and have a limited scope for HTML, but both the text and the example code is filled with errors (McGraw-Hill's fault--somebody should be fired).The book is written as if we are listening to a lecture where, if Burke has a deviation in his train of thought, we are forced to follow down that track (Burke's fault).

Big disappointment, loaded with errors in coding!
This book is a waste of money.There are errors on many of the pages.Coding is improperly constructed.It's very evident that the author never ran a validator against the code.Examples are spaces after "=", no double qoutes where they are required, etc, etc. ... Read more

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Timewyrm: Genesys is an original Doctor Who novel, published by Virgin Publishing in their New Adventures range of Doctor Who novels. It was the first book in that series, and featured the Seventh Doctor and Ace; it also features a brief cameo of the Fourth Doctor- in the form of a holographic message to his future self- and the Seventh Doctor briefly uses the TARDIS to summon the personality of his third incarnation when he needs his past self's technical expertise. Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the ongoing story of the television series is open to interpretation. In ancient Mesopotamia the Seventh Doctor and Ace together with Gilgamesh face a mythological Gallifreyan terror the Timewyrm. In space above the planet Earth, two spaceships fight. One, commanded by a cybernetic woman, is shot down by the other. She survives and her escape pod crash lands somewhere in ancient Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, finds the escape pod while engaged on a spying mission against Kish. The woman, who claims to be the goddess Ishtar, tries to lure Gilgamesh into helping her. Gilgamesh refuses, and Ishtar becomes enraged, vowing that she will have her revenge. On board the TARDIS, Ace awakens to discover that she has no memory of who or where she is. The Doctor informs her that he is accidentally responsible for the removal of her memories. Before he can correct this error, the Doctor triggers a message from his own past in the form of a holographic projection...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4625119 ... Read more

Muddled account, overly long
You won't get a memorable account of what happened around the 1989 fake "discovery" of cold fusion from this book. Taubes doesn't even bother to explain what cold fusion really is, why it's significant, and how it differs from regular fusion or fission, for example. Instead, without making clear what's at stake, he launches breathlessly into what he hopes will be an engrossing account of the personalities involved in this folly - for hundreds and hundreds of pages. He might as well be talking about angels dancing on the head of a pin, and adds to the general, erroneous impression that it's easy for "scientists" to fudge their results and pull the wool over an uninformed public's eye. Taubes has done nothing to encourage the lay reader to get more informed about scientific progress. There's almost no science in here that would be in the least comprehensible to even an informed reader. Bad Science Writing would be a better title. I suspect the only people who made it through this book were insiders wanting bitchy details about their colleagues. Very disappointing.

Gary Taubes Has A Lot of Explaining To Do
Well, now it's 2004, eleven years after Gary Taubes eulogy to Cold Fusion, "Bad Science : The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion". Unfortunately for Mr. Taubes, science eventually sorts things out and figures out what's real and what's not real.Well, now fifteen years after the big Pons & Fleischmen announcement, it turns out that Cold Fusion is on the cusp of regaining legitmacy in the scientific community.Not only has the U.S. Navy revealed a decade of clandestine Cold Fusion research, but numerous reputable labs around the world have verified that the Cold Fusion is real.

While a well written, and fairly well researched book, Mr. Taubes' burial of Cold Fusion is going to more of a historical artifact in the long saga of Cold Fusion than the definitive last word for this controversal field of science.Seems like Mr. Taubes is going to have to update this book soon, with an admission that he missed the mark in 1993.

The History of Cold Fusion -- In Depth
This book is excellent.It describes in amazing detail the events leading up to and following the "Cold Fusion" news conference.It's the story of how two scientists fooled themselves into believing that they were onto something so big that they had to claim credit for it -- fast.And it's the story of how the least qualified researchers quickly "confirmed" Cold Fusion, and how the best qualified researchers found nothing.If you're interested in how science is done, both well and poorly, read this book.

revealing, witty
I strongly recommend this book.Taubes carries the reader through complex issues with wit and clarity.Some of his deadpan observations are hilarious.(Even though Pons and Fleischmann hadn't tried to measureneutrons, they should have known their apparatus wasn't producing enough ofthem to be consistent with their claims of nuclear fusion. "Theyweren't dead, for instance.")

Although it's primarily written in thestyle of fly-on-the-wall journalism, "Cold Fusion" is also ameditation on human frailties and on the differences between good and badscience.But fundamentally, it is a tragic story of people getting lost incircumstances beyond their control.

Mr. Taubes' book is seriously truncated and misleading
When the original Cold Fusion press conference was held on 3-23-89, the reaction of the physics establishment in the first world was immediate , orchestrated and highly hostile. Mr. Taubes book is an effort tospin-doctor an entire area of emerging global science out of exisitence .As of 3-23-99 there are over 3000 peer reviewed scientific papers availablein this area of science with nearly every institution connected withnuclear phenomena having checked in. Mr. Taubes confines himself withattacking Drs. Fleischmann and Pons during the begining few years of thiscontroversy and ignoring the mountain of officialreplications:EPRI, USNaval Weapons Lab China Lake,U of Minnesota, MITI et al... If you want tosee how "black propaganda" works read this tome. I recommend itto anyone getting involved in the "new Energy" movement to get atemper of the opposition.As Lord Macaulay put it over a century ago" If a big enough commercial interest were threatened, even Newton'slaw of Gravity would be called into question".

`An authoritative, frank, hard-hitting account of the cold fusion fiasco.' GLENN T. SEABORG`As a distinguished nuclear chemist he is uniquely qualified to evaluate the field. Cool, dispassionate scientists and policymakers will receive hisbook, I trust, with the respect it deserves.' FRANK CLOSE, NATURE`Members of the scientific community and lay readers interested in the history of the cold fusion episode and its broader implication for the scientific process will find much to consider in John Huizenga's thoughtful account of this astonishing chapter in the history of science.' STANLEY C. LUCKHARDT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. NATURE`This book belongs in all college and university libraries.' CHOICEIn the spring of 1989 two electrochemists, B. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, working at the University of Utah, claimed to have duplicated the high-temperature process powering the sun at room temperature in a small jar on a laboratory tabletop. Scientists worldwide rushed to verify cold fusion, but analyses showed that most of the positive reports were plagued by experimental uncertainties, inadequate controls and improper assessment of errors; a definitive experiment still does not exist. Huizenga tells the story of the cold fusion claim in this book, presenting his own analysis of the reports, exploring the damaging consequences of the claim, and affirming his view that test tube fusion with watts of power remains a chimera. JOHN R. HUIZENGA, former Tracy H. Harris Professor of Chemistryand Physics at the University of Rochester, was co-chairman of theCold Fusion Panel of the Energy Research Advisory board. ...

Dr. Huizenga Will Have To Write a New Book
Since Dr. Huizenga wrote this scathing book against Cold Fusion, so much has happened in the field.Even the U.S. Navy revealed in the Spring, 2003 that they have been clandestinely researching Cold Fusion for a decade.Their conclusion?Cold Fusion is real and it warrants an official government funded research effort.Dr. Huizenga, well meaning or not, missed the boat on Cold Fusion.It's too bad he put his closed-minded scientific views in writing for the whole world to see.I wonder if he'll be writing a new book when Cold Fusion re-emerges into the scientific mainstream in coming years?Cold Fusion is being replicated all around the world, and the skeptics are just flat-earthers at this point.
