Engineering Noise Control: Theory and Practice

Taylor & Francis, 2009

Although this fourth edition follows the same basic style and format as the first, second and third editions, the content has been considerably updated and expanded, yet again. This is partly in response to significant advances in the practice of acoustics and in the associated technology during the six years since the third edition and partly in...

Taylor & Francis, 2002

This book will be of particular interest to specifiers applying the principles of the new European Standard EN 206-1 for the first time; to postgraduate researchers in mathematical modeling of degradation mechanisms; to undergraduates of engineering, architecture, and building technology; and to students of advanced concrete technology who...

The Origin and Evolution of the Solar System

Taylor & Francis, 2000

The Origin and Evolution of the Solar System begins by describing historical, i.e. pre-1950, theories and illustrating why they became unacceptable. The main part then critically examines five extant theories, including the current paradigm, the Solar Nebula Theory, to determine how well they fit with accepted scientific principles and...

Small Water Supplies: A Practical Guide (Clay's Library of Health and the Environment)

Taylor & Francis, 2004

There are approximately 50,000 small water supplies in the UK alone, and thousands more worldwide. Dealing with idiosyncratic characteristics of small water supplies requires specialist knowledge. Small Water Supplies: A Practical Guide provides invaluable guidance for their appropriate management.

This book covers how small,...

Feed Your Genes Right: Eat to Turn Off Disease-Causing Genes and Slow Down Aging

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

The study of DNA in heredity and disease has led to a great many
heady scientific discoveries and, ironically, to some humbling acknowledgments
of ancient medical wisdom.

Scientists discovered nucleic acids, the general chemical building
blocks of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and genes, in the 1890s.Within
several...

Psychology and Religion : An Introduction

Routledge, 2000

This is a rather unusual book on the psychology of religion. As usual I try my very best to set down what is empirically true in the light of what is now extensive evidence on this subject. But I also take a sympathetic view of religion—I have faith in both enterprises, psychology and religion, and believe that in the end they can be...
