No Binding. Condition: Good. No Jacket. This is a 99-page photcopy of a document of unknown origin. The copying is of an older type (Gaestetner or Roneo, perhaps) of a typewritten original. Profusely illustrated, but with only fair reproduction quality, the Introduction reads in part "Following the lines of earlier notes on Western Canadian military badges, the following makes no pretense of being a resume of military formations of the Maritime Provinces. It is produced for badge collectors only and with the realization that it is far from complete. While one of the collaborators, Mr. Harper, has done extensive research into such documents and records as are available, it has been necessary to consolidate his findings to tabloid form, thus nullifying to a considerable degree the value of an excellent reference medium." An interesting and informative look at badges associated with Canada's Maritime Provinces. Punched along the spine for a 3-ring binder (not included).

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the unique chemistry of trimethylene, a substance with a three-carbon ring structure. The author traces the history of research on trimethylene compounds and explores their fascinating properties. Through a series of experiments, the author demonstrates the remarkable stability of trimethylene derivatives, a stability that sets them apart from their unsaturated counterparts. The book also sheds light on the relationship between trimethylene compounds and other cyclic hydrocarbons, examining how their properties and behaviors differ. By comparing trimethylene to tetramethylene, the study highlights the influence of ring size on chemical characteristics. Ultimately, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of trimethylene chemistry, enriching our knowledge of these intriguing compounds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
