Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is intended primarily to serve the needs of the undergraduate civil engineering student and aims at the clear explanation, in adequate depth, of the fundamental principles of soil mechanics. The understanding of these principles is considered to be an essential foundation upon which future practical experience in soils engineering can be built. The choice of material involves an element of personal opinion but the contents of this book should cover the requirements of most undergraduate courses to honours level. It is assumed that the student has no prior knowledge of the subject but has a good understanding of basic mechanics. The book includes a comprehensive range of worked examples and problems set for solution by the student to consolidate understanding of the fundamental principles and illustrate their application in simple practical situations. The International System of Units is used throughout the book. A list of references is included at the end of each chapter as an aid to the more advanced study of any particular topic. It is intended also that the book will serve as a useful source of reference for the practising engineer. In the third edition no changes have been made to the aims of the book. Except for the order of two chapters being interchanged and for minor changes in the order of material in the chapter on consolidation theory, the basic structure of the book is unaltered. 432 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The term biotechnology has emerged on the contemporary scene fairly recently, but the basic concept of utilizing natural materials, either directly or in modified versions, dates back to antiquity. If we search the ancient literature, such as the Bible, we find hundreds of examples wherein people employed, or modified, natural materials for a variety of important uses. As far back as the days of Noah we find pitch, a natural material, being used as a caulk. Clothing was made from animal skins and the products of several plants. Today, we would consider these things as important biotechnological developments. Likewise, the human use of polymeric materials also has a long his tory. In fact, many of the original materials used by mankind were poly mers derived from nature, such as wood, flax, cotton, wool and animal skins, which were used for shelter and clothing. In recent years, however, the concept of biotechnology has taken on a new and renewed role in our society. This is due to a combination of factors, including an increased interest in environmental concerns and the desire to break free from the stranglehold that petrochemicals have placed on our society. If we can manufacture some of our polymers from renewable resources, then we can expect to prepare them for many more years into the future than we might if we could only depend on the petro chemical resources. 364 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The fIrst edition of the Science 0/ Photobiology edited by Kendric C. Smith (plenum Press, 1977) was a comprehensive textbook of photobiology, devoting a chapter to each of the subdisciplines of the fIeld. At the end of many of these chapters there were brief descriptions of simple experiments that students could perform to demonstrate the principles discussed. In the succeeding years some photobiologists felt that a more complete publica tion of experiments in photobiology would be a useful teaching tool. Thus, in the 1980s the American Society for Photobiology (ASP) attempted to produce a laboratory manual in photobiology. Cognizant of these efforts, Kendric Smith elected to publish the second edition of The Science o/Photobiology (1989) without experiments; anticipating the comple tion of the ASP laboratory manual. Unfortunately, the initial ASP efforts met with limited success, and several years were to pass before a photobiology laboratory manual became a reality. One of the major stumbling blocks to production of an accurate and reliable laboratory manual was the requirement that the experiments be tested, not just by the author who is familiar with the techniques, but by students who may be quite new to photobiology. How could this be accomplished with limited resources Many ideas were considered and discarded, before a workable solution was found. The catalyst that enabled the careful screening of all experiments in this book was a NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) devoted entirely to this purpose. 400 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -After his stunning debut with Boosting the Underachiever: How Busy Parents Can Unlock Their Child's Potential, Dr. Victor Cogen, this time, focuses his unique vision on inspiring the adolescent underachiever - a normal, healthy teenager who just isn't getting the grades he or she should. Here, Dr. Cogen tackles the intricacies of the adolescent mind. His innovative approach goes beyond the stereotypical views of the teenage personality and teaches parents how they can personally take advantage of their adolescent's developing cognitive and emotional abilities. Adolescents are trapped between a world of fantasy created to help them escape from failure, and a growing need to become part of the real world of adults. This breathtaking book explains how to appeal to the developing and sensitive people these children are becoming and discover the source of their poor scholastic records. Publishers Weekly hailed Cogen's earlier book: 'Practical, jargon-free, the book offers realistic hope to parents willing to invest time helping their 'C student' children.' This book does the same for adolescents, a group known for shirking school work in pursuit of peer approval. Dr. Cogen underscores the crucial yet often overlooked role of emotion in learning - as both a positive and negative force. Using true-to-life scenarios and practical advice, Dr. Cogen - a leading psycho-educational consultant - presents a comprehensive program that will teach critical analytical skills and improve teenagers' self-perception so that they can overcome the emotional obstacles hampering their intellectual progress. The crux of Dr. Cogen's program requires the aid of a family roundtable discussion group. These sessions, as he describes, will encourage independent thinking as well as other qualities essential for a successful academic career. Rewards, cajoling, and threats may provide a temporary patch to cover a festering and far more dangerous wound. Parents cannot simply tell their adolescent what to do and expect results. With Dr. Cogen's revolutionary approach, you will learn how to capture your teenagers' attention and help them discover the fruits of learning for themselves. 292 pp. Englisch.

Muller's comprehen sive work 'Gemischbildung und Verbrennung im Ottomotor' in 1967 [1.1]' Naturally, the field of mixture formation and combustion in the spark-ignition engine has wit nessed great technological advances and many new findings in the intervening years, so that the time seemed ripe for presenting a summary of recent research and developments. There fore, I gladly took up the suggestion of the editors of this series of books, Professor Dr. H. List and Professor Dr. A. Pischinger, to write a book summarizing the present state of the art. A center of activity of the Institute of Internal-Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering at the Vienna Technical University, which I am heading, is the field of mixture formation -there fore, many new results that have been achieved in this area in collaboration with the respective industry have been included in this volume. The basic principles of combustion are discussed only to that extent which seemect necessary for an understanding of the effects of mixture formation. The focal point of this volume is the mixture formation in spark-ignition engines, covering both the theory and actual design of the mixture formation units and appropriate intake manifolds. Also, the related measurement technology is explained in this work. 420 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The beauty of mathematics eludes all but a small, select handful of people. This monumental classic will illuminate the aesthetic delights of mathematics for all to behold. Why should only a tiny aristocracy hold the key to appreciating the elegance of mathematics Why should intelligent, cultured people, who can easily articulate the brilliance of Shakespeare's imagery, quake at the prospect of deciphering a simple algebraic formula Jerry King, a mathematics professor and a poet, razes the barriers between a world of two cultures and hands us the tools for appreciating the art and treasures of this elegant discipline. In his fluid, poetic voice, he initiates us into the splendid wonders of the Mathworld. He provides us with an original framework for contemplating mathematics as art. He deepens our ultimate comprehension of art by comparing the beauty of a Rembrandt as well as a Jackson Pollock with the riches to be mined in an elegant proof. Like the great philosophers of the past, Dr. King searches for pure Truth--a quest possible today only in the realm of mathematics. With his infectious enthusiasm, he explains with utmost clarity the intellectually stimulating underpinnings of both pure and applied mathematics. He goes on to decry how our educational system has failed by perfunctorily teaching us mathematics, depriving us of the pillars of beauty upon which mathematics rests. Never before has a book spoken so eloquently to our soul in instilling an appreciation for the grandeur of mathematics. Through Dr. King, the muses of mathematics will no longer sing for others and not for us. The elegant world of mathematics awaits us all to savor. 320 pp. Englisch.

My parents emigrated to England from the Irish Republic, and we have all lived in Britain for so long that no one can see the join - or can they Some years ago, my mother was admitted to hospital for a routine operation. Award nurse saw her obviously foreign name on the admissions list, and concluded she must be Asian. Accordingly, she arranged for my mother to have a bed in the same bay as other Asian women, and ordered her a curry for lunch. Part of me was angry at the stereotypical thinking rhat every one with a strange name must be Asian, but I had to concede that I myself knew little about other cultures. My own patients came from a variety of cultural traditions, but neither I nor my colleagues knew very much about them. What information we had was culled directly from patients and their families in a haphazard 'do this' or 'don't do that' basis. Because we had no understanding of the traditions, staff could become exasperated over what they interpreted as 'awkwardness'. Our inadequacies were further highlighted when patients did not speak English: there was always the question of who could translate for them, and whether they fully understood their illnesses and their treat ments. For some, the experience of being in hospital must have been frightening. 96 pp. Englisch.

Elmore Leonard This book is all about writing: it is both a practical and a personal account.

You stand to break the rules that you set up - quite badly. That is probably not such a terrible thing; besides, that should be part of the process of using this book. As you read it, notice when rules are broken. Check the phrasing, the sentence and paragraph construction, and see whether or not I have stuck to the rules. Then see whether or not the rules would have improved the passage in question. Begin to read books as much for their style, layout and general format as for their con tent.

With the wonders and horrors of the Persian Gulf war fresh in our minds, the development of laser weapon technology conjures up Flash Gordon-like images of vaporizing enemies, demolishing buildings, and burning through metal. In this exciting and thought-provoking book, Major General Bengt Anderberg of the Swedish Armed Forces and Dr. Myron L. Wolbarsht - acclaimed coauthor of Safety with Lasers - separate fact from fiction and reveal what modern miracles and perils this powerful new technology may bring. Armed forces in many countries are already using a great number of laser devices, and the inexorable pace of progress in developing special laser weapons indicates that they will ultimately revolutionize the modern battlefield. Practically invisible when fired, silent, capable of pinpoint accuracy, and traveling at the speed of light, laser weapons would seem to offer unparalleled advantages over conventional weapons. While this may be true, once unleashed, this awesome power can trigger other devastating consequences as well. Anti-eye laser weapons are currently being developed that can result in the mass blinding of soldiers, pilots, and tank crews. Laser experts Anderberg and Wolbarsht describe the staggering medical, societal, and psychological ramifications that the use of laser weapons will entail. Furthermore, they explore the historical development of these weapons and how far other countries, including France, England, and Russia, have progressed in their technology. Anderberg and Wolbarsht clearly illustrate how these awesome weapons can be used successfully against the enemy, as well as how theirstrength can be abused if they are employed indiscriminately. This intriguing, comprehensive work will prove indispensable to the layman and professional alike as we embark upon the laser weapon age. 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This insightful and penetrating book explores the contemporary status of women scientists in the predominantly male oriented world of science. How can women working in the life sciences, the physical sciences, chemistry, medicine, and engineering maximize their potential and be recognized as truly valuable and worthy of equal respect to their male colleagues In this honest and fascinating volume, readers are treated to a fund of knowledge and firsthand experience from both a female and a male representative of the system, each of whom has spent many years as a scientist and science administrator. Clarice M. Yentsch is a former facility director and continues as an active career oceanographer at the Bigelow Laboratory in Maine. Carl J. Sindermann, author of the acclaimed Winning the Games Scientists Play, is the former director of marine laboratories in Florida, Maryland, and New Jersey, and is now associated with the University of Miami. Together they examine the changing role of the woman scientist through the years, and offer a detailed prognosis based on current trends and patterns as evidenced by their own study. This absorbing account isolates the unique problems and dilemmas confronting women scientists both in the lab and at home. Is there gender equality in pay and promotion How do you deal with overt or subtle sexual harassment and discrimination from a male boss, mentor, or colleague Will marriage and motherhood ultimately destroy your career in science How can women avoid the 'invisible woman syndrome' and succeed without resorting to traditionally male power plays In addition to advising the women who have reached the middle and upper echelons of the scientificcommunity and occupy powerful managerial positions, The Woman Scientist addresses the needs of women entry-level scientists, laboratory technicians, and assistants. These probing authors offer practical advice on how to deal with male and female bosses, and explain how to ensure that stated opinions will receive the attention and recognition they deserve. Information derived from case studies revealing the personal and frank perceptions of over 100 women scientists speaks directly to matters of vital concern to all scientists--male and female. Readers will learn, for example, how others have coped with the struggles of a 'two scientist family', and how they can develop arrangements that will enhance the careers of both partners. The Woman Scientist describes how the status of women in science is improving, and offers extensive advice on career enhancement--by avoiding jobs that do not make full use of abilities, by transforming a desire to make significant scientific contributions into a rewarding career, and by taking full advantage of rapidly changing attitudes that will result in achieving equality with men in all aspects of a scientific career. 284 pp. Englisch.
