Electrocrystallization: Fundamentals of Nucleation and Growth

Springer, 2002

The book is an up-to-date introduction to the fundamentals of the initial stages of Electrocrystallization, which are dominated by nucleation and growth of the first clusters of the new phase. It offers a readable exposition of the topic, in simple terms, providing a detailed theoretical description of the phenomena involved. The most relevant...

Issues in the Integration of Research and Operationsl Satellite Systems for Climate Research: Science and Design (Compass Series)

National Academy Press, 2000

This is the first of two reports that address the complex issue of incorporating the needs of climate research into the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). NPOESS, which has been driven by the imperative of reliably providing short-term weather information, is itself a union of heretofore separate civilian...

Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions (2 Volume Set)

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

In this second, completely revised and enlarged edition, Francois Diederich is joined by Armin de Meijere in bringing together in two comprehensive volumes everything of importance related to C-C and C-N cross-coupling reactions.

Totality: Eclipses of the Sun

Oxford University Press, 2008

A total eclipse of the Sun is the most awesome sight in the heavens. Totality takes you to eclipses of the past, present, and future, and lets you see--and feel--why people travel to the ends of the Earth to observe them.

An absolutely indispensable resource for anyone who plans to observe an eclipse, and a must read for all...

Hilbert Space Operators in Quantum Physics (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 2008

Some praise for the previous edition:

“I really enjoyed reading this work. It is very well written, by three real experts in the field. It stands quite alone....” (John R. Taylor, Professor of Physics and Presidential Teaching Scholar, University of Colorado at Boulder)

This course-tested book explains in detail the theory...

Solar Radiation and Daylight Models, Second Edition: For the Energy Efficient Design of Buildings

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2004

A practical guide to the modelling and application of solar energy data

The cost of operating a building far exceeds the cost of constructing it, and yet until recently little attention was paid to the impact of solar radiation on the costs of heating, cooling and ventilation. And now that there has been a surge in interest...

The Everyday Language of White Racism (Blackwell Studies in Discourse and Culture)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

In The Everyday Language of White Racism, Jane H. Hill explores the myth that White racism is fading in the western world. Instead she reveals it to be a pervasive and highly adaptive cultural system, one that has endured in various forms for hundreds of years. Hill’s incisive analysis of everyday talk and text shows how language...

Model Predictive Control System Design and Implementation Using MATLAB® (Advances in Industrial Control)

Springer, 2009

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is unusual in receiving on-going interest in both industrial and academic circles. Issues such as plant optimization and constrained control which are critical to industrial engineers are naturally embedded in its designs.

Model Predictive Control System Design and Implementation Using MATLAB®...

Wind and Solar Power Systems

CRC Press, 1999

- K.G. Craig, Journal of Environmental Quality, 2006

Throughout the text, it is abundantly clear the author is a knowledgeable engineer with considerable experience in the diverse sciences and technologies that provide the foundations of wind and photovoltaic power generation. It is also obvious that he is an experienced teacher, because...

How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae

Springer, 2008

The aim of this popular science text is to explain aerodynamic and astrodynamic flight without the use of mathematics, in an informal style, for non-technical readers who are interested in spaceflight and spacecraft.

The book will open with a concise introductory chapter, chronicling the ‘space age’ up to the present, and a brief...

Ecology of Marine Sediments (Oxford Biology)

Oxford University Press, 2009

Marine sediments provide the largest habitat on planet earth, yet knowledge of the structure and function of their flora and fauna continues to be poorly described in current textbooks. This concise, readable introduction to benthic ecology builds upon the strengths of the previous edition but has been thoroughly revised throughout to incorporate...
