Book Description

In Flame Structure and Processes, renowned physical chemist Robert M. Fristrom comprehensively documents the numerous experimental techniques used to study flame microstructure, and provides an interdisciplinary overview of how such research is revealing exciting new information about combustion and high temperature processes. Using premixed laminar flames as models for studying individual high temperature chemistries, physical processes, and their interactions, Fristrom expertly details experimental and mathematical methods for analyzing overall flame structure or any other high temperature reacting flow system. Specialized techniques required to obtain high spatial resolution under extreme temperature conditions are also described. Fristrom goes on to discuss what is currently known about flame chemistry, physical processes common to all flames, and combustion. An extensive bibliography and many useful tables round out the book. The only up-to-date book solely devoted to flame structure and processes, this book will be welcomed by students and professionals in chemical/mechanical engineering and physical chemistry.

Ótimo livro.......2007-07-17

É realmente um livro indispensável para qualquer profissional que lide com ciência do fogo. Seu conteúdo deveria fazer parte do currículo mínimo dos Cursos de Formação de Oficiais Bombeiros Militares (CFO-BM) e dos Cursos de Perícia de Incêndios ministrados no Brasil.

A great reference .......2006-11-15

An indispensable guide to Fire Science and excellent starting point in Fire Engineering - the old faithful of my undergraduate studies at University !

The Master Speaks - Again.......2006-08-22

An excellent update of Dr. Drysdale's "must-have" 1985 introduction to advanced fire physics. Dr. Drysdale brings the reader up-to-date (as of the 1998 publication date) on the state of the art in fire behavior, analysis, prediction and modeling.

I bought the paperback, because (a) the hardback is more expensive (Dr. Drysdale is Scottish, after all...); and (b) the 3rd edition is hopefully only a few years away. Readers in active day-to-date fire science application work probably will want the more durable hardback edition.

Book Description

In recent years fire science has made rapid progress due to the increase in research on the subject. This book brings together state-of-the-art contributions on those aspects of fire within the engineering science ofcombustion. Written by leading experts, the book seeks to identify the role of fire in the spectrum of combustion science. Individual chapters address solid phase combustion, turbulent diffusion flames, and thermal plumes. The text then examines the consequences of fire occurring within an enclosure from ignition, through flashover, on to the fully developed phase. Using zonal and CFD methodologies with consideration for fire chemistry, the text also reviews the latest research in the numerical modellingof enclosure fires.
This book will interest all those concerned with fire safety. In particular it will be of value for combustion scientists with an interest in fire and fire protection.

Key Features
* Presents a state-of-the-art treatise on fire science
* Consolidates our current understanding of this very complex problem
* Provides a solid foundation to a rapidly developing engineering profession
* Includes applications of computer simulation to design and fire investigation

Book Description

A random field is a mathematical model of evolutional fluctuating complex systems parametrized by a multi-dimensional manifold like a curve or a surface. As the parameter varies, the random field carries much information and hence it has complex stochastic structure.

The authors of this book use an approach that is characteristic: namely, they first construct innovation, which is the most elemental stochastic process with a basic and simple way of dependence, and then express the given field as a function of the innovation. They therefore establish an infinite-dimensional stochastic calculus, in particular a stochastic variational calculus. The analysis of functions of the innovation is essentially infinite-dimensional. The authors use not only the theory of functional analysis, but also their new tools for the study.

Book Description

In “The Lighthouse at the End of the World,” Jules Verne is seen at his simplest and best. No antecedent improbability here has to be made good. The remoteness of the scene where the drama is laid supplies an element of dread of which advantage is skillfully taken, and the shortness of the period over which the story is extended adds excitement to the race against time which the villains of the piece are compelled to make in their attempt to escape justice. The rest is pure action, courage and resourcefulness pitted against ferocity and power of numbers, with no merely invented complications to retard the issue. As a simple adventure story “The lighthouse at the End of the World” must be declared a little masterpiece.

Survival and Suspense.......2003-07-04

Don't read this book execting all of the "good guys" to survive. It's too realistic for that, but it was great. It had a pleasing ending and the "bad guys" got their dues. If you like modern-day stories, don't read this. If you like classic adventures, you'll like it. Also, it made me feel what the main character was feeling.

Early thrill-a-minute novel.......2002-07-06

Beware: I will give away some of the plot

The modern action novel has its English antecedents in the books of Robert Louis Stevenson, and, it turns out, its French antecedents in those of Jules Verne. This short and exciting novel could be described as Die Hard with pirates. On an Island on the southernmost tip of South America a lighthouse is built and three men are left behind to tend it. The island is also inhabited by pirates, who capture a damaged schooner, bring it into the port with the lighthouse, and immediately kill two of the lighthouse keepers. The third escapes and must survive on his wits and attempt to stop the pirates from leaving the island until a group of soldiers come to relieve him. Pretty gripping stuff.

I highly recommend this for those interested in seeing the roots of the modern action novel (who would have thought that the literary path to Alistair MacLean and Robert Ludlum would have passed through Jules Verne), as well as anyone interested in lighthouses (the descriptions of the island and the function of the lighthouse are great) and, of course, Jules Verne. It is also great to compare this to Robert Louis Stevenson's seafaring novels, especially Treasure Island, Ebb-Tide and The Wrecker.

The writing in this translation is a bit simple. I suspect that this is due to the translator, who was not an artist but a mechanic. Based on a brief comparison with a French text of the novel, however, the translation seems accurate, and it is definitely readable.

Labyrinth of mystery and the surreal.......2007-01-09

Anyone familiar with the work of Edgar Allan Poe or the unforgiving world of slander, misfortune, and ultimate tragedy that his actual life took place in will immediately recognize a labor of love and compassion for this tragic artist of the macabre in Marlowe's powerhouse work of historical fiction. This puzzling and enigmatic mindf**k employs every single tactic to give Poe the man a more substantial face and soul, two attributes he has sorely lacked for over a century now.

While I still can't claim to have understood the entire narrative, this is undeniably the sort of creative fiction which is absolutely impossible to put down. There is not one character, one attribute of Poe's work or life that is not worked into a drama, whether real or imaginary (often it is hard to tell the difference.) C. Auguste Dupin, Poe's predecessor to Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, smokes meerschaum and wears a pair of emerald green glasses while trying to decide whether his most prized subject--Poe himself--is merely delusional or correct in his assessment
of the cosmos' potential destruction at the hands of a tribe called "the Yaneek". One single shard of a kaleidoscope broken at the hands of the author himself as a child may or may not determine, along with this tribe, the fate of humanity, so invested is it with the power of imagination and enlightenment.

The death of Poe's only true love, Virginia, is given full and at times unbearably heartwrenching treatment by Marlowe. Poe's subsequent madness and (seeming) death by cholera is given equally moving and horribly realistic treatment.

I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to try to explain this book; I can only say that I would like it somehow to be the first and last word on it's subject, since a million annoying biographies filled with monotonous statistics and dates could never communicate the haunted greatness of
Poe as this book does.

Lighthouse at the End of the World.......2004-06-20

Stephen Marlowe's book, Lighthouse at the End of the World, is a fantasy fiction portrait of Edgar Allan Poe revolving around the yet-unsolved mystery of Poe's death. In the first 200 pages of the novel, Marlowe combines historical fiction and fictional biography with fantasy and mystery. Interspersed in an account of Poe's life, narrated in a fairly linear and cohesive fashion by Poe himself, are surreal, fantasy episodes narrated by Poe doppelgangers.

In the final third of the book, there is a sharp break in the already fractured, multi-layered narrative. Fantasy takes over completely as Poe descends into the alcohol, opium and exposure-induced encephalothopy that killed him. C. Aguste Dupin emerges out of the blue to investigate Poe's disappearance and strange illness.

Although this book is inordinately difficult to follow, Marlowe's writing is very beautiful and unique (the adjectives "kaleidoscopic" and "shimmering" come to mind). This book has an overall feel to it which is reminiscent of a Jean Cocteau film. The intrigue and beauty of Marlowe's writing manage to carry the reader through the difficult parts to the final three chapters where Marlowe ties the story together. The ending, by the way, is quite bizarre and surprising.

The most fascinating aspect of this novel, by far, is the metamorphosis in Marlowe's writing between the first few chapters and the end of the book. As the story proceeds, Poe starts to become very much like his own fictional characters. Poe alternately becomes a kind of William Wilson, Arthur Gordon Pym and Roderick Usher. All the while, Marlowe's writing slowly, subtly but surely takes on Poe's distinctive style, complete with elipses, italics, anachronisms and footnotes where the narrator directly addresses the reader. It is very unnerving and effective. Marlowe's masterfully-crafted writing earns this novel a five-star rating in spite of the difficult and complex plot.

slow at first, but very intrigueing ........1998-10-16

Great book. A bit slow at first, hard to get into I think. As you read it more though, the book begins to develop around you and draw you in. I enjoyed it greatly. Being able to walk in Poe's footsteps, see through his eyes, you begin to wonder and imagine that you are Poe. The sheer historical and visual aspect of it is enough to capture the imagination and intrigue of anyone.

Mesmerizing, confusing, poetic prose, historical........1998-09-05

I found the book hard to follow, and yet by the end I was strangely drawn to it - its bewildering account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe. I plan to hang on to my copy and reread it later, if anything, just to figure out the plot(s).
