Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Rutley's elements of mineralogy has been around for a long time, certainly throughout my own lifetime; and if my great grandfather had read geology, it would have been prescribed reading for him too! It has been rewritten and revised frequently since fir~t conceived by Frank Rutley in the late 19th century. Major revisions occurred in 1902, and then in 1914, when H. H. Read first took over the authorship, and thereafter in 1936 and in 1965 when the last major changes occurred. It was with some trepidation that I agreed to attempt this revision. I had been asked to do it by Janet Watson in 1979, but various commitments delayed my start on it until 1984. This 27th edition encompasses a number of changes. Chapters 1-5 have the same headings as before, but considerable changes have been made in all of them, particularly 1, 3, 4 and 5. Comments sought prior to the revision revealed considerable disagreement about the role of blowpipe analyses in the book. I have only once had blowpipe analyses demon strated to me, and have never used them; but there is no doubt that they are employed in many countries, and many of the tests (flame colour, bead, etc. ) are still useful as rapid indicators of which element is present in a mineral. I have therefore kept blowpipe analysis information in Rutley, but have relegated it to an appendix. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 'Proceedings of the 9th conference, Washington D.C., 10-14 June 1985.' The book is in very nice condition. As you can see from the photos, the covers are clean. There is some toning on the spine, and a little bit of the same on the rear cover, just adjacent to the spine. The black and blue lettering on the front and spine is very bright. There are small creases at a few of the corners. The one at the rear top corner created a very light crease at the corner of some of the latter pages, though only other rear side, not much of anything. Getting back to the covers, there's little bit of rubbing at the bottom of the spine (second photo). The edges are free of rubbing with the exception of the bottom edge of the spine. The corners have just a little bit of light rubbing. The spine has a slight forward lean, but the book is solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. The covers are also nicely tight. The pages are exceptionally clean. That includes the white inside covers and end papers. Scrolling through the pages, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I saw two corners that had been turned down, so there is a crease on each, and a few of the pages before and after each of these have a very vague impression of these creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind (NOT ex-library). And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There are a great many illustrations, photographs, charts, tables, drawings. They all appear to be in excellent condition.

xiv + 276pp, index, notes, paperback, some wear to covers, sunning to spine and spine area, name half-title, good copy. "A collection of papers on philosophy of science, conceptual history of science, and sociology of science written by Taiwanese scholars. Some of the essays included show Orientals study topics that are typically Western philosophy of science; others show how traditional topics in the history of Chinese science (mathematics, optics and geology) could be studied with high sensitivity to the philosophy and sociology of science. It also touches upon issues of the "autonomous" development of social sciences in Taiwan, a society whose academic researchers are greatly influenced by the West. This work should be of interest to scholars of philosophy of science, philosophy of language and psychology, history of Chinese science, history of science in East Asia and history of mathematics."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The popularity of the Boiler Operators Handbook has prompted the issue of a revised edition. Other than a relatively small number of developments, essentially associated with solid fuel firing methods using the fluidised bed technique, no radical changes have occurred since the first edition of the Handbook was issued in 1969. In revising a work of this kind there is a great temptation to omit practices that are now less common in the UK. In view of the enormous pressure on Global energy resources, however, the chapters dealing in methods of hand-firing have been retained in the hope that they may be of value to those in the less developed nations where energy problems are infinitely greater than ours. High combustion intensity boilers, commonly known as Package Boilers, of the Shell Construction design, have now much greater steam output than their predecessors and the need for high levels of maintenance and operating skills remain as essential as when this group of boilers first appeared on the market. Also the standard of water treatment required is probably higher than the Operator has been accustomed to. The Health and Safety at Work Act re-emphasised the continued need for adherence to the principles that ensure a pressure vessel be maintained in a safe condition at all times. Accordingly the revised edition of the Boiler Operators Handbook has enlarged its sections on Safety and the Clean Air Act. High combustion intensity boilers, commonly known as Package Boilers, of the Shell Construction design, have now much greater steam output than their predecessors and the need for high levels of maintenance and operating skills remain as essential as when this group of boilers first appeared on the market.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sixth Edition 1983. In the sixth edition of this work John Fry has reverted to the format of the earlier editions published in 1965, 1970 and 1973 and has presented statistical data drawn widely from many sources. General practice in the United Kingdom and elsewhere throughout the world has undergone many changes in the past decade. This new edition brings the available statistical informa- tion up to date and indicates the way ahead. General practice, the College and the National Health Service have been closely linked in effecting change. The membership of the College con- tinues to grow and its influence in changing the face of general practice in the United Kingdom is significant. John Fry's new book presents that characteristic blend of fact and personal opinion which was so successful in earlier editions and so valuable to general practice and others in primary health care. Once again he has shown what can be achieved by one man based on his own work and those of others in general practice.John Lawson RCGP, 1983 President of the Royal College of General Practitioners vi Preface The Present State and Future Needs series had its roots in the dark days of the early 1960s when morale in general practice was low and when numbers of new entrants were actually going down. They were the days of mass emigration of doctors from Britain and the National Health Service. The fourth and fifth editions were entitled Trends in General Practice (1977 and 1979).

Paperback. Condition: New. Backing up the pioneering medical researchers and experi- menters are the phalanxes and cohorts of practising clinicians in district general hospitals and in general practice who may have to implement and apply any breakthroughs and advances in practical and realistic terms. This they cannot, and should not, be expected to do without careful consideration and analysis. It is essential, therefore, to have regular reviews of the growing points of medicine which are constructively critical as well as being enthusiastic and which can present the issues and implications clearly and fairly to clinicians. The Practical Clinical Medicine series is designed to provide such regular reviews on selected subjects. Each volume is under the charge of an invited editor who selects his team of 4-6 experts. Each contribution is an authoritative, detailed and referenced examination of his topic, is clearly presented in an understandable manner and is practical, relevant and applic- able to everyday clinical practice. The series is intended as a means of communication between researchers and practising clinicians.It is dedicated to gener- alists who provide primary health care in general practice and to generalists providing secondary medical care in district vii viii Series Editors' Foreword general hospitals. Both are involved in applying good general practical clinical medicine for their patients, but can only succeed in a climate of constant review and examination.
