Summary
Summary
When I signed my National Letter of Intent to attend Binghamton University I officially become a Division I scholarship athlete. As my pen slid across the paper, I thought that the most difficult part of the journey was over. Little did I know that arriving on campus as a vulnerable freshman, playing baseball in the snow belt, and having the coach who recruited me leave before my first semester ever began were just a few of the obstacles I would face on my personal "Road to Omaha". This journey, a four part chronicle beginning with my freshman year and culminating with senior year, offers an insider's view into the life of a college athlete. As I share my experiences on the baseball diamond, in the classroom, and up in the dorm room, the entire college baseball experience comes to life. To be able to live, sleep and play baseball with my best friends for four amazing years is an adventure that I will forever cherish. From late night study sessions, to eight hour bus rides, to game winning hits, this is my story of learning how to adjust in the face of adversity by "Going with the Pitch".

Choice Review
Levine and R. B. Bernstein's Molecular Reaction Dynamics (CH, Mar'75) was a widely accepted work that made "the essence of the subject accessible to the newcomer." Levine (Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem; Univ. of California, Los Angeles) has rewritten and expanded this book, successfully maintaining accessibility in one of the most complex topics in chemistry. Levine takes readers through experimental and computational work in areas that include molecular collisions, reactive collisions, scattering theory, molecular energy transfer, trajectory calculations, transition state theory, and stereodynamics, largely representing gas phase systems. He also dedicates two chapters to condensed phase and gas-surface processes. Exciting new topics including molecular machines and enzyme chemistry are presented. Endnotes are used effectively to expand important ideas. End-of-chapter problems range from insightful to very challenging, all interesting. The author thoughtfully provides advice on how to use the book in classes when the entire contents cannot be covered. The book provides readers with a conversation with an expert in the field. It is extremely well written, the definitive work in the field, and it provides a wonderful overview of current understanding of how chemical reactions occur, including insights into what still remains to be done. ^BSumming Up: Essential.
