AVR: An Introductory Course
Published in Paperback by Butterworth-Heinemann (September, 2002)
Author: John Morton
Average review score:

Great introduction and a great buy.
Has it been a while since your last uP project? Get this book. Easy to read with lots of good examples. I/O, timers, UART, I2C and etc. Covers mostly the 90S1200 and Tiny parts. Morton points out where and what the differences are for other parts. Only problem I see is the organization. It can be difficult to find a particular section when using it as a reference. Reads more like a book than a reference which some may say is a good thing.


Beachcomber : the works of J. B. Morton
Published in Unknown Binding by Muller ()
Author: John Bingham Morton
Average review score:

1930s british humorist
originally writing a 'humour' column for the generally staid british press, beachcomber was quite an inspiration for luminaries to follow, eg monty python, spike milligan. he was also great pals with the likes of hillair belloc, an' that. stock characters : 'dr strabismus (who god preserve) of utrecht', oh that;s enough typing....


Camp Morton, 1861-1865: Indianapolis Prison Camp
Published in Hardcover by Indiana Historical Society (October, 1995)
Authors: Hattie Lou Winslow and Joseph R. H. Moore
Average review score:

Very pleased...
I was very pleased with this book. I think the authors did a great job with the overall history of the camp. More importantly, I think I was able to get a good idea of what life was like for the prisoners held there. There are many good footnotes that will allow me further research into documents and holdings I didn't know about. There are only a few photos (all period), but very nice. It is well indexed (very few personal names mentioned..if any), but I was dismayed that there was no bibliography. A good value.


Charter Airlines: Their Aircraft and Colours
Published in Paperback by Airlife Pub Ltd (April, 2000)
Author: John K. Morton
Average review score:

Charter Airlines
Another fabulous book in the ABC series. Talks about many airlines you have never heard of (or seen rarley). Also, many, many beautiful pictures of the interesting schemes of charter airlines. Only fault is, text could be a little more describing. If you are curious about charter airlines, or just want to learn more about the aviation industry, this is a great book for you.


Comedy: The Irrational Vision
Published in Hardcover by Cornell Univ Pr (April, 1975)
Author: Morton L., Gurewitch
Average review score:

Of genius by genius.
Morton Gurewitch divides Comedy into four impulses--Irony, Satire, Humor and Farce--and examines their submanifestations. He relates literary and dramatic works to the comic theories to which they pertain. His thesis--that comedy is essentially irrational--is most easily demonstrated by farce, and it is farce that gets most of his attention.

I wish he had included a taxonomy of the phyla he discusses; that he had included more on Comedia; that he had referenced cinematic works; that he had examined timelines between theories and works they reference for pattern (are theorists always at least fifty years behind what they study?); and that he had used Adler and Maslow as well as Freud. I also wish that, after tracing adultery through Western literature, he had favored me with his view of this most conventional of unconventional behaviors, for there must be a satyr in those who study satyrs. But this book is a comprehensive analysis of comedy and its theorists in Western literature from Greece to now by one who has spent a lifetime studying both.

The book makes academic history, too. While English Departments were committing academic suicide--by alienating the creative element of their profession with culture wars, puritanism, and even more spiritually debilitating forms of reductionism, one scholar was constorting with its essence, the idea that Literature should be enjoyed. His style is itself a revolt against monstrous monotony. He delights in turning a phrase, demonstrating how adjectives should be used, and baffling the befuddled with periodic sentences. But his main achievement is using concrete literary reference to build a coherent and comprehensive account of what comedy is and where it has been.

A century ago, such a book would have made him famous, because it would have been read by intellectuals on three continents and hailed as a work of genius. Today, his reward is limited to whatever comfort his own theory can generate. There must be some. After all, he's writing about comedy in a culture that thinks satire is a hate crime.


Consistency Problems for Heath-Jarrow-Morton Interest Rate Models (Lecture Notes in Mathematics (Springer-Verlag), 1760.)
Published in Paperback by Springer Verlag (11 May, 2001)
Author: Damir Filipovic
Average review score:

A timely monograph on mathematical aspects of HJM models
The class of arbitrage free interest-rate models introduced by Heath, Jarrow and Morton in the 1980s has become the standard mathematical framework for interest rate theory since. In the recent years many researchers have approached HJM models from the viewpoint of infinite dimensional stochastic analysis, viewing them as evolution equations in the space of forward rate curves.
This monograph, which is based on the PhD thesis of its author at ETH Zurich, contains a rigorous mathematical presentation
of this point of view on HJM models plus a detailed discussion of the so-called "consistency problem": when is a given parametric family of forward rate curves invariant under an evolution specified by an HJM model?

Chapter 2 "Stochastic equations in infinite dimensions" is interesting in itself as a minimal and economical introduction to this topic without needlessly complicated formalism.
For example the infinite dimensional Wiener process is introduced as a sequence of independent scalar Wiener processes
and everything is understandable for a student who knows one dimensional Brownian motion.
Chapters 4 and 5 define a possible mathematical framework for viewing HJM models as evolution equations. This discussion, some of which is original work of the author, is what is missing (or even wrong) in many other works on this topic. I found this chapter clear and helpful; it is the best part of the book.

Chapters 6 and 7 discuss recent researh by Bjork, Christensen, Zabczyk and the author on invariant finite dimensional manifolds for HJM models. Although this is the main focus of the thesis it seems less interesting to me since I never saw any real
motivation of this problem from financial applications.

Some weak points of the book are: total absence of any empirical data, no figures (there is not even a single figure of what a forward curve looks like), no numerical examples showing how "bad" inconsistency can be, ...Also no application is given...But then these are problem typical of the whole corpus of (continental) European literature on mathematical finance.
Another point is the relation between the "infinite dimensional" viewpoint and the "random field" interest rate models. This is discussed in some parts of the text (see Chap 5) but only briefly.

Beyond the 90s
This book nicley discussed like what will be the management focus, tactics and techniques of progressive business in the 90s and beyond? How will these organisations adapt to their chaning environments and develop new directions and strategies?
