Book Description

The terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001 have greatly affected our lives, our livelihoods, and perhaps our way of living. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights were designed to inhibit excessively powerful government. But now, we are counting on it to prevent Americans from being killed with impunity, and to "insure domestic tranquility". In these times, the government must concentrate more on protecting concrete lives than protecting intangible privacy. The subject of this book - privacy - is where the conflict among our competing interests after September 11 is likely to be sharpest. "The right to be let alone", pales next to the right not to be blown-up. So "privacy" will inevitably need to accommodate security and safety to a greater extent than before September 11. But for America to continue being America, our constitutional mandates must still be genuinely respected.

Book Description

Yield losses and reduced crop quality, caused by plant viruses are an increasing problem. Several important plant viruses are, in addition to their sap and vector transmission, also transmitted through seed. Seed transmission of plant pathogens plays an important role for the early outbreak of
disease in a crop, for the survival of inoculum from one crop season to the next, and for its international dispersal. Freedom from seedborne viral infection can be revealed by certain seed health testing methods. This book provides a practical guide to the commonly used detection methods for
seed-transmitted viruses and viroids affecting both tropical and non-tropical crops.

Book Description

This book describes the principles derived from our knowledge of the biology of seedborne pathogens and how these are applied in the practical control of seedborne diseases. The pathogens covered are seedborne fungi, bacteria and viruses which attack temperate and some tropical field crops. The main part of the book is concerned with the processes of infection of seeds, the location and the survival of inoculum, and the transmission and spread of seedborne pathogens. The author then describes how, with this knowledge, strategies and methods have been developed and employed at national and international levels to exclude and eradicate seed-transmitted diseases. Effective methods for the detection of seedborne inoculum are necessary throughout and a specific chapter is devoted to these technologies. The book is written for practicing plant pathologists as well as for advanced students of plant pathology seeking a general review text of this subject area. It is also highly relevant to workers in this agrochemical industry with special interests in seed treatment and seed treatment methods. _

Finally!!! A book that shows math set ups in an easy to understand format!.......2007-04-06

Chemistry contains A LOT of math, at least my professor requires it.

I am taking a college Chemistry course to satisfy my degree requirement in the nursing field. I am an adult student whom has always struggled with math. I have searched high and low for a book to show the right set ups for the math problems that must be dealt with in order to succeed in this subject. I finally found it, Basic Concepts of Chemistry.

At the beginning of the book, it shows how to set up conversions. It does a beautiful job of showing mole to mole conversion in later chapters. It also shows you the geometry that you need when you encounter the valance shell electron pair repulsion theory (VESPR) in an easy to understand format.

This book may contain typos and errors but it delivers the good by explaining what you need to know. If you can overlook them, you've got yourself a winner.

Yes, this book is not college level, but it is a fast read, and explains concepts clearly. The book seems to help "prepare" you, or get you ready for the math that you will face in Chemistry without it seeming overwhelming to the student. I only wish I had this book at the beginning of the semester, instead of towards the last, when I really needed it.

For comparisons, I do like it better than The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry, 2nd Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to) and Chemistry for Dummies. The book that my class requires is Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry (with CD-ROM and ThomsonNOW Printed Access Card). It does an okay job but out of all of them, Basic Concepts of Chemistry is the best.

Worst text I have ever used.......2006-11-20

This book does an extremely poor job of explaining basic concepts. The explanations lack even more clarity because of the absurd amount of typos that occur throughout (the study guide contains several typos per chapter...and we're not talking grammar, we're talking wrong answers/formulas). I actually bought a second textbook for my chemistry course and found it more helpful than this one (and the course was taught from this text). Someone needs to A.) PROOFREAD THE TEXT AND STUDY GUIDE, and B.) DEVELOP REAL, LUCID EXPLANATIONS, not relate molar mass to apples and oranges. For anyone who is interested the second book I purchased was the one published by McGraw-Hill(and no I do not work for them).

Better then expected.......2005-09-24

I was very pleased w/ my purchase. You said it was like new and I really don't think it had ever been opened.

Barely the Basics 7th edition.......2003-07-21

CONS:
If your planning on taking college level chemistry, don't waste your time with this text. It's overly simplistic and is not able to explain many of the regular concepts that are required for completing a college chem. course. Although the simplicity appears appealing to the beginner level, the text will leave you hanging with numerous unanswered questions.
PROS:
The book is a "ok" "review" unless your in high school and still you'll need more then it offers. The math examples and color are probably it's best features. ...

The Perfect Companion.......2000-01-08

This book is the perfect companion for those studying Chemistry at a beginner level (high school, and to a lesser extent first-year College study.) Its detailed explaination of ideas and concepts coupled with the lively and colorful diagrams all provides excellent back-up notes for one's course of study. Take it to class and have it ready to go when you study. Malone writes in a friendly and non-formal style, but still gives very good and up-to-date deatils of current chemistry techniques. The tag questions on each page will make you think about each chapter's contents and will reinforce the content of the book. Like chemistry, the ideas in this book are universal and will benefit your study no matter where in the world you are.

Book Description

Hardbound. When Fertl's first book, Abnormal Formation Pressures, was published by Elsevier in 1976, the topic was relatively new in book form. In the years that followed, his book became the standard work for petroleum engineers and drillers. The list of major petroleum provinces with abnormally high pore pressures has grown steadily over the years, and with it has grown our knowledge and experience. There have also been technological advances. A new book was required, but no longer could the topic be covered adequately by one person.

The problems of abnormally high formation pressures encountered in the subsurface while drilling for petroleum are very diverse, involving geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, and borehole logging engineers. The acute anticipation of such pressures before drilling has become possible with modern technology. This book treats these developments and covers the following topics: world

Book Description

This is an introduction to the ideas of randomness that are central to much of modern physics and have overthrown the "clock-work universe" conceptions of earlier centuries. The author shows how the laws of probability and statistics were developed by such mathematicians as Fermat, Pascal, and Gauss, and how they received their first major application in physics in the kinetic theory of gases developed by Maxwell and Boltzmann. Here the use of statistics is necessary because the number of particles involved is too great for a deterministic calculation. But soon the mathematician and physicist Poincare demonstrated the unpredictability if certain systems containing only a small number of bodies, because of extreme sensitivity to initial conditions. He thus became a founder of chaos theory. Finally, with the advent of quantum theory, physics seemed to be based on an essential randomness, whose reality was debated by Bohr and Einstein till the end of their lives. Only recently, in the experiments of Alain Aspect, has a convincing demonstration been given the inescapable randomness of quantum theory is a fact of nature. Professor Ruhla guides the reader skilfully through all these developments and provides mathematical details in appendices. The book provides an accessible introduction to the modern physicist's conception of the world of cause and chance.

Customer Reviews:

Chances are, you'll like this book.......2003-05-01

If you ever read one book on quantum theory, then this is the book you should read. Especially if you want to understand Bell's Inequality and how the experiments done by Alain Aspect in the 1980's verified that the inequality is violated.

I first heard of Bell's inequality and the EPR Paradox while reading an article by David Mermin in "Science News" and did not understand it at all. Then I read Robert Adair's account of it in "The Great Design" (a good book to have) and I began to gain a rudimentary appreciation of what was going on. But it wasn't until I read Ruhla's "Physics of Chance" that I learned how to derive the predictions of quantum theory - the predictions which show that two distant objects can exert influence on one another, "faster than the speed of light."

But Bell's Inequality is not the only subject in here. The text begins with rather simple treatments of probability, applied to coin tosses and telephone queues, on to Boltzmann Statistics, and then finally to quantum theory. So as your reading through the chapters in the book, you pick up the "tools" you need as you go along, in order to understand the more difficult material later on.

Ruhla's writing style is engaging, although silly at times. ...

A wonderful overview of statistical physics.......2003-03-13

This book is extraordinarily well written and illustrated. It introduces the major themes of statistical physics at a level that shold be readily accessible to senior undergraduates or scientists and engineers who are non-specialists. Highly recommended; a gem!
