BTW[edit]

Most of the references aren't contributing anything to this article. They are just redundant listing. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 06:33, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Abductive (reasoning) 07:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the notability criteria for this isn't going to be reliable sources in the mainstream press. If you are so inclined see WP:BK#Academic books and reference 8 of this notability guideline. Hence, CRC press, the publisher, appears to be an academic (or scientific) publisher. This book appears to be listed in a sufficient number of University Libraries, according to WorldCat. It is listed in the Library of Congress [1], [2] per Threshold standards.I doubt the mainstream press is going to provide any kind of focus for these books. This is a "series" based solely on scientific research, written in a review format. In addition, the related (or relevant) peer reviewed research papers, are listed at the end of each chapter. In other words, the content of the book based on primary research. So how do I reference the above as notable for the article? ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 09:16, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These three references have different summations [3], [4], [5]. I admit one has the same summation as the publisher, which I did not notice earler. However, the publisher summation is not one of these three. The third reference appears to be the same as CRC press (the publisher).

Furthermore, Google books also has a different summation. So counting google books is four references, so far. But I doubt there will be much more than this. Let's face it, this book is not aimed at a general audience. Even the publisher claims [6] to be only aimed at "researchers, academics, professionals, and students". It is a publisher of scientific and technical work, collecting "collect essential reference material and the latest advances" aimed at its audience. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 09:38, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
