Jeffry V. Mallow – författare

What began as a casual collection of Jewish jokes for Jeffry V. Mallow''s personal amusement soon became a napkin-scribbling compulsion to document the very best in Jewish humor, whenever and wherever he came across it. The bigger his trove, the clearer it became to Mallow that the jokes were more than just funny-they were authentic in their depictions of Jews and their interactions with each other and with non-Jews; they represented the breadth of Jewish life.

Field-tested by Mallow''s stand-up comedy audiences for decades, here are guaranteed rib-ticklers about matchmakers, cantors, and circumcisers; the overly pious, freethinkers, and heretics; the illogic of Jewish logic; and even Jewish encounters with alien societies! In these pages, Jews poke fun at their own foibles and at the Gentiles who befuddle them, and Mallow offers witty and informative introductions, explanations, background, and cultural context. There''s also a handy glossary at the end.

Not only is this a laugh-out-loud compilation of the best Jewish jokes that date back to the Talmud and up to today, but it''s also a fascinating and entertaining look at Jewish life around the world and through the centuries.

Breakthroughs: Outstanding Physicists, Their Lives and Accomplishments describes the achievements of physicists, both greater and lesser known, who have made outstanding breakthroughs during their lives. Each chapter focuses on a single physicist and follows their careers, significant life events, and discoveries.The book is written at an accessible level with simple mathematics, which appears in optional appendices. Our target audience comprises those who have not studied physics, but are interested in both the lives and accomplishments of great physicists. This includes non-science university students, as well as the general public. Key Features:Focuses on physicists who have made ground-breaking discoveries.Women comprise half of the subjects.Ideal for students and general readers who are comfortable with simple mathematics.

We have written this book in order to provide a single compact source for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for professional physicists who want to understand the essentials of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. It is an outgrowth of a seminar course taught to physics and mathematics juniors and seniors at Loyola University Chicago, and of our own research over a quarter of a century.

The book provides a single compact source for undergraduate and graduate students and professional physicists who want to understand the essentials of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM). The text contains a large selection of examples, problems, and solutions that illustrate the fundamentals of SUSYQM and its applications. It is richly illustrated with figures and contains an attractive and relevant list of topics.
