ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is helping to create a new business environment in which businesses are bound together as well as to service and support customers to their mutual benefit.

Book Description

This volume is a collection of the papers presented on a study day `Transfrontier Mobility of Law' held in Erasmus University, Rotterdam, on 23 September 1994. It shows the range of interests that can fit under such an umbrella title. The postscript section of the volume gives an overview of the discussions that took place on that day. Transfrontier mobility of law is a most fruitful field in which researchers will reap great rewards. There is a need, however, for a new analytical framework. Many aspects of the new movements have different features from those of earlier migrations of legal institutions. The papers help the reader to see how the problems associated with the transfrontier mobility of law are universal, how very interesting such movements are and how there is indeed a universal need for a wider analytical framework to assess future developments.

Book Description

An examination of both theoretical and practical approaches to the geochemistry of natural waters with a more tightly focused emphasis on fresh-water environments. The third edition focuses more on environmental issues than the previous edition, reflecting the importance on environmental geochemistry as a result of increased environmental awareness and regulatory requirements. Prepares readers to interpret the probable cause of a particular water composition and to predict the probable water chemistry in those situations where data do not exist.

Geochemistry of Natural Waters.......2004-06-17

I had used this text book for a graduate class in Chemical Hydrogeology while doing my Masters. I found this to be a very poor text to use. The textbook presents a very qaulitative approach to geochemistry of natural waters and does not lend itself to quanititative problem solving. I purchased other texts on ths subject so that I could cross-reference and determine how to setup problems for equilibrium chemistry. I would not recommend use of this text.

Needs Work.......2001-11-09

This book does not lend itself to an introductory class in geochemistry for the graduate student. The material does not present comprehensive derivations of calculations, but relies on prior knowledge and assumption not generally available,or known by the graduate student first being introduced to Geochemistry. The majority of the book is normally only comprehensable to the student after the material has been described by persons knowledgable in the subject mater. In other word this book is worthless to read prior to the lecture on the subject mater. Furthermore, the appendices are full of errors and contradictions to other references, and the book has numerous typos and difficult language constructs that make the text incomprehensible at times. I hope there is a better book for the introductory graduate class in geochemistry out there, because this book does not cut it.

Valuable Reference for Aqueous Geochemistry Concepts.......2001-01-18

Drever's has long been a valuable reference in my own work and in the classes I teach. It is one of several references I use for understanding geochemical processes. The first sentence of the preface states that the text is intended for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses. I first used this text when I took Aqueous Geochem in grad school and it really made a difference in understanding applications. Spend an hour with Stumm and Morgan and then look at Drever. You'll almost see the lightbulb go on over your head. The example calculations are great and the addition of the geochemical models enhance the applicability of the text.

However, I would note that if you need to start with introductory chemical concepts this isn't the book for you.

If you are weak in chemistry start elsewhere.

Still... two thumbs up from this reviewer.

Esencial para los geologos.......2000-10-18

Libro muy sencillo de leer y sus ejemplos son muy didacticos

This book overcomplicates even the simplest of topics........1998-10-29

This book fails to explain topics in a manner suitable for beginners in this field. I recomend choosing any other book over this one.

Book Description

Well logging has come a long way from the simple electrical devices of the early years. Today's tools are much more diverse in their applications. Among these are tools which characterize geological properties of rocks in the borehole in a way that was previously only possible with oriented cores. Thus, borehole imaging, nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and paleomagnetic logging provide precise information on bedding, mineralogy, texture and age of the rocks traversed by the borehole. Many of these logs can not only be acquired in the traditional "wireline" mode, but also in logging-while-drilling mode where the sensors are placed directly behind the drill bit, and the measurements are transmitted in real-time to the surface. Combined with new technology to drill deviated wells, the geoscientist now has tools which enable him to specify and develop reservoirs more accurately. This book is for researchers, graduate students and practising geoscientists.

Book Description

The author presents in detail a new non-perturbative approach to the fermionic many-body problem, improving the bosonization technique and generalizing it to dimensions d>1 via functional integration and Hubbard--Stratonovich transformations. In Part I he clearly illustrates the approximations and limitations inherent in higher-dimensional bosonization and derives the precise relation with diagrammatic perturbation theory. He shows how the non-linear terms in the energy dispersion can be systematically included into bosonization in arbitrary d, so that in d>1 the curvature of the Fermi surface can be taken into account. Part II gives applications to problems of physical interest. The book addresses researchers and graduate students in theoretical condensed matter physics.

Book Description

This book describes the mathematical framework on which the interacting boson-fermion model is built and presents applications to a variety of situations encountered in nuclei. It addresses both the analytical and the numerical aspects of the problem. The analytical aspect requires the introduction of rather complex group theoretic methods, including the use of graded (or super) Lie algebras. The first (and so far only) example of supersymmetry occurring in nature is also discussed.

Still just one for the fans (or early 20th C. public schoolboys).......2007-03-07

Well I finally twigged that the reason I couldn't find a unifying plot in these early school stories is that there isn't one. Same setting, often the same characters, but separate fictional anecdotes. I suppose that wasn't as clear to me in the preceding `Prefect's Uncle' because I didn't notice the punchline in a few stories, such as the title one.

This collection makes it a bit clearer, and has some wonderful moments (such as the enchanting description of a Latin master getting an electric shock), but as I compulsively work through the Gutenberg Wodehouse chronologically I'm hoping he hits his straps soon. These stories probably would have delighted the contemporary public schoolboys they were written for, but their appeal doesn't extend as far as many of his later stories. One for the trainspotters/fans like myself.

Book Description

It scarcely seemed possible. And yet--Bradshaw was generally right. If he said he had a scheme for doing--though it was generally for not doing--something, it rarely failed to come off. I thought of my sixpence, my only sixpence, and felt a distinct pang of remorse. After all, only the other day the chaplain had said how wrong it was to bet. By Jove, so he had. Decent man the chaplain. Pity to do anything he would disapprove of. I was on the point of recalling my wager, when before my mind's eye rose a vision of Bradshaw rampant and sneering, and myself writhing in my chair a crushed and scored-off wreck. I drew the line at that. I valued my self-respect at more than sixpence. If it had been a shilling now.

Mostly for Wodehouse completists.......2005-11-30

This is Sir Pelham's third book, and first collection of stories, with three essays at the end. Like his first two novels, the stories are pleasant but extremely weak tales of misbehaving schoolboys, mostly of historical interest only. There are a couple of hints of the mature Wodehouse in the story "Author!", but it quickly degenerates to his usual formula. I found the essay "Work" intriguing, especially for the claim, "People who ought to know better will tell you that Virgil is hard." "The Tom Brown Question" is an amusing parody of Homeric scholarship, with a interesting observation about the original Flashman.

Early Wodehouse stories for boys.......1998-02-17

A collection of 12 short stoires and 4 essays originally published in British boys magazines in the early 20th century. Their intended audience limits their interest to present-day readers, but Wodehouse's trademark use of language and story-telling skills remain in evidence.

The stories invariably feature noble boys learning valuable lessons about life. It's interesting that the only story where villainy actually triumphs (A Shocking Affair) was the only one which was not accepted for prior publication--it didn't fit the required mold. Yet, that story is most reminescent of the mature Wodehouse.

This moralistic emphasis infects such characters as Charteris. A delightfully unorthodox character in the Pothunters, he appears here as a typical schoolboy athlete who learns his lesson after breaking school rules and reforms.

Book Description

Pillingshot was annoyed. He was disgusted, mortified; no other word for it. He had no objection, of course, to Mr Mellish saying that his work during the term, and especially his Livy, had been disgraceful. A master has the right to say that sort of thing if he likes. It is one of the perquisites of the position. But when he went on to observe, without a touch of shame, that there would be an examination in the Livy as far as they had gone in it on the following Saturday, Pillingshot felt that he exceeded. It was not playing the game. There were the examinations at the end of term. Those were fair enough. You knew exactly when they were coming, and could make your arrangements accordingly. But to spring an examination on you in the middle of the term out of a blue sky, as it were, was underhand and unsportsmanlike, and would not do at all. Pillingshot wished that he could put his foot down. He would have liked to have stalked up to Mr Mellish's desk, fixed him with a blazing eye, and remarked, 'Sir, withdraw that remark. Cancel that statement instantly, or-!' or words to that effect. What he did say was: 'Oo, si-i-r!!'
