Well Written Q&A Resource Book.......2000-04-01

This book offers a good selection of questions and answers focused on financial issues that people face. I like the format, it is easy to read and to find questions that I am interested in understanding. In addition to questions for financial advisors, it includes questions to ask when purchasing a house, selling a house, and purchasing insurance. It covers a lot of different financial topics, more that I thought it would based on the title. I would recommend this book as a good general reference book to have on your home bookshelf.

Book Description

Drawing on recent academic studies of rural homelessness in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, this proposed book represents the first international text on homelessness in rural areas. Consisting of 15 specially commissioned chapters, the book will provide comparative material on the cultural, political and policy contexts of rural homelessness, the nature and scale of homelessness in rural areas, and the complex local geographies of rural homelessness.

Book Description

On 19 December 1996, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the Directive concerning common rules for an internal market in electricity. The key questions which arise from this development are the following: How far are the competition and internal market rules of the EC-Treaty applicable to the electricity sector? What are the contents of the directive and its consequences? How must Member States respond to enforce the objectives of the directive and what are the results of this new situation for both electricity supply and consumer undertakings?

Chemistry Solutions manual.......2007-08-25

Pretty helpful to have for the course. It tends to leave out answers to the simplest questions from the beginning of the problems in each chapter but otherwise is good. For me, I could use a little more step by step answers for some of the solutions but it may may be just fine for others. Overall, I would recommend having this manual for the course.

Confusing.......2005-03-21

This is not a very good textbook and should not be considered if you desire to learn chemistry. The text is not understandable even though I have a masters in chemistry from CalTech.

The organization is not well structured and it's hard to believe that people actually like this book. The writers of this book try to "cram" as much information as possible in each chapter which is NOT necessary. It could be sucessfuly done if they spread out the information and concepts.

HOWEVER, he book problems are excellent. I'll give them that.

Excellent overview of first year chemistry.......2003-06-01

This book is very well written, with helpful diagrams and detailed examples. It is easy to understand and text and with this book it is truly not hard to understand chemistry and do well. I easily got an A in Chemistry I and I believe that everyone who failed the class simply didn't look over the book or their notes after class. It certainly wasn't the fault of the professor or the text- both explained chemistry very well.

From D to B+.......2003-04-10

I had difficulties solving chemistry problems I also bought many books but when I found this one in My local library I was extremely happy with the simplicity of the text problem examples
THIS IS THE BEST BOOK FOR CHEMISTRY CLASS EVER ....I HAD A D IN MY FIRST CHEMISTRY CLASS NOW I AM GETTING As AND Bs Every household should have one .... The best book by far

Chemistry - A Study in Life.......2000-12-05

This book is a leader in the chemistry field, superior to any I've seen. Its explanations are thorough, yet concise. If you are a student, and you have any doubts about the effectiveness of this book, expel them from your mind. This is a book for autonomous thinkers, as it gives you a strong footing in intermediate Chemistry, allowing you to think for yourself. The media companion is also helpful. It brings the book to life, helping those students who work best with visual stimulus. Perhaps you do not have a computer in your home, but take the time to use this tool at your school. As for the teachers, you may have my assurance that my time spent as a student using this book was made more complete only by my professor's lectures. Please consider this book a valuable addition to your Chemistry library.

Excellent Book!.......2000-11-20

This book was more helpful for me than my professors' lectures! It is very helpful for all general chem students, including those who hate chemistry (I do not).

Book Description

Earthquakes and Atmospheric Hazards contains a selection of papers that were presented as part of the Sixth International Symposium on Natural and Man-Made Hazards (HAZARDS-96) held in Toronto, Canada during July, 1996. The Symposium was very timely, given the large number of natural disasters that have occurred in various parts of the world during the 1990s, the United Nations' International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). The human reaction to these disasters has varied widely from one event to the next and the economic and social costs have been immense with damage running into billions of dollars. Having in everyone's mind the Northridge, California (1994) and the Kobe, Japan (1995) earthquakes, the volcanoes in the Philippines, the cyclones and related storm surges in Bangladesh, and the floods in North America and Europe caused by heavy rains, the Symposium attracted more than one hundred papers covering various aspects of these events. The eleven papers included in this volume deal with the scientific and management issues of those earthquakes and atmospheric hazards that occurred during the late 1990s, with emphasis on the preparedness aspects. A summary report of the HAZARDS-96 Symposium and recommendations adopted by the participants is also included.
Earthquakes and Atmospheric Hazards forms an excellent reference for scientists, students, engineers, the insurance industry, authorities specializing in public safety and natural hazards preparedness and mitigation plans.

Book Description

The widely used theoretical models for calculating properties of hot dense matter are studied in this book. Calculations using the presented formulas and algorithms are illustrated by plots, tables, and also are compared with experimental results. The purpose is to help understanding atomic physics in hot plasma and in developing efficient and robust computer codes for calculating opacity and equations of state for arbitrary material in a wide range of temperatures and densities.

Key features:
- complicated problems of atomic physics are clearly presented
- most parts of the book are accessible to students
- models are reduced to formulas and algorithms
- emphasis on computational aspects of the models, in particular on the computation of opacity and the equations of state for high-temperature plasmas

Book Description

Journalist Drew Looney is in a rut, waiting for her job to get better—or at least for a decent story. Then, while covering a mundane deportation, she accidentally stumbles upon something far more sinister. Georgina Fitz-Simons has just overcome a flourishing cocaine habit, but not soon enough to stop her falling foul of gangster Broylan Grillo. As Drew and Georgina are thrown together by circumstance, they become increasingly mired in a dark world of drugs, slave labor, money, and murder. Not to mention an inconvenient corpse, a Serbian hit man, and a retired Glam rocker. Somehow they must find a way out.
