The Karoo: Ecological Patterns and Processes
Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521554500 |
Book Description
The Succulent and Nama Karoo form part of the arid southwestern zone of Africa, a vast region of rugged landscapes and low treeless vegetation. Studies of this unique biome have yielded fascinating insights into the ecology of its flora and fauna. This book is the first to synthesize these studies, presenting information on biogeographic patterns and life processes, form and function of animals and plants, foraging ecology, landscape-level dynamics, and anthropogenic influences. The contributions offer novel analyses of the factors distinguishing the Karoo from other temperate deserts and challenge generalizations about semi-arid ecosystems.Download Description

Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies: Micelles, Microemulsions, Vesicles and Lyotropic Phases (Surfactant Science)
Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0824758226 |
Book Description
Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria, tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the structural similarities of amphiphilic block copolymers to surfactants, this volume elucidates the dynamics of more complex self-assemblies that surfactants and amphiphilic block copolymers form in solutions. The book first discusses self-assembling processes taking place in aqueous surfactant solutions and the dynamic character of surfactant self-assemblies. The next chapter reviews methods that permit the study of the dynamics of self-assemblies. The dynamics of micelles of surfactants and block copolymers, solubilized systems, microemulsions, vesicles, and lyotropic liquid crystals/mesophases are reviewed successively. The authors point out the similarities and differences in the behavior of these different self-assemblies. Much emphasis is put on the processes of surfactant exchange and of micelle formation/breakdown that determine the surfactant residence time in micelles, and the micelle lifetime. The last three chapters cover topics for which the dynamics of surfactant self-assemblies can be important for a better understanding of observed behaviors: dynamics of surfactant adsorption on surfaces, rheology of viscoelastic surfactant solutions, and kinetics of chemical reactions performed in surfactant self-assemblies used as microreactors. Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies offers a unique and comprehensive review of the literature that exists on the dynamics of the various surfactant self-assemblies and a unified perspective on this topic. It provides researchers with a useful guide for the dynamics of the surfactant systems that they wish to investigate.

Book Description
This book entertainingly traces the history of physics from the observations of the earlyGreeks through the discoveries of Galileo and Newton to the dazzling theories of such scientists as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Bohm. This humanized view of science opens up the mind-stretching visions of how quantum mechanics, God, human thought, and will are related, and provides profound implications for our understanding of the nature of reality and our relationship to the cosmos.Customer Reviews:

A Laodicean is a fine 1881 love story by Thomas Hardy.......2007-08-31
Ouch!.......2004-03-08
I couldn't wait to finish this novel, which is the worst of his I've read since "The Hand of Ethelberta". It's a minor potboiler of a romance, filled with cut-out characters and ludicrous melodrama. There's no examination of the thought processes of the characters - the sorry plot just plods along like an aged emaciated donkey. Even when Hardy tries to inject some life into the novel by switching the setting to the Continent, it only makes things worse by making the plot convolutions even more far-fetched.
It just goes to show that even great novelists can have an off day. Thankfully, Hardy wrote far better novels than this earlier in his career and went on to write better ones later. Thank goodness for that.

Not Very Subtle, But Often Surprising.......2001-01-09
The novel begins with George Somerset, a flighty and intelligent young man who has tinkered with several pursuits, but is finally settling into architecture. Wandering about the vicinity of Markton village, he comes upon a rustic baptism. Paula Power, a young heiress whose late father was a railroad tycoon, refuses to be baptized, raising Pastor Woodwell's charge against her that she is a "Laodicean," a lukewarm believer. George is engaged to work on the restoration of Paula's new residence, Castle De Stancy. Somerset's fascination with Power is born and the action of the novel begins in earnest.
Some of the themes of interest include technological advance - the telegraph's intrusion into the most ancient spaces - the gothic castle and photography. With the image of the crumbling gothic Castle De Stancy, Hardy questions the relevance of hereditary aristocracy and religious fervor to the cosmopolitan modern age. With Paula, Hardy's lifelong interest in the independent heroine is complicated and subtly nuanced. With the fascinating Mr. Dare, Hardy plays with his gothic and colonial subtexts, prefiguring Bram Stoker's late 1890's "Dracula."
"A Laodicean" is worth reading because it is itself lukewarm - unsure whether progress is always positive and uncomfortable with the flippancy of both the aristocracy and new wealth. It is a book whose very instabilities and insecurities make it engaging.
Not one of Hardy's best, but an interesting read........2000-04-24

The Church of the Laodiceans (The Last Message)
Victor A. Manjon Manufacturer: Trafford Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1412047234 Release Date: 2006-07-06 |
Product Description
The world is full with books about Christian faith; few of them are outstandingly precious to the acquirement of knowledge and, which is more important, the blessings of the Holy Ghost. Most of them together with the creation of countless Christian sects have accomplished the main target of the Evil Spirit, to create the biggest confusion in Human History: The Spiritual Babylon, as one of the undoubted accomplishment of the prophecies of the Most High.The Church of the Laodicean is now presented to the reader in order to dissipate this confusion, to guide back the faithful ones to the true beliefs of the primitive brotherhood reformed by our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is also presented to clarify some confused concepts about Christian History and doctrines; to show the world that Christianism is not - as most scholars pretend a new religion barely six centuries older than Islamism. The Church of Jesus has always existed since the beginning of Creation, since the appearance on this planet of our first parents Adam and Eve. That it never identified itself with any visible Institution through the dance of centuries and millennia. That the Church of God verily exists and it is spread out among all the unaccountable Christian sects but that it is, above all, greater than the sum of all of them.
This book was written too to show the reader and the student of the Holy Writ that to understand the New Pact - which tells us all about the Antitypical Ministration, it is necessary, due its overwhelming importance, to know and thoroughly understand first the Typical Ministration widely explained in the Old Pact. Without this spiritual requisite it is really easy to get entangled in the webs of the spurious teachings of the churches.
Most of all, though, inside the pages of this book it is plainly shown the last message of the Most High to Humankind, The Signs of the Times expressed in the biblical prophecies show us clearly that the end of this cycle of life is about to come. The hinge of Human History is about to turn definitively very soon. Sooner perhaps than anybody who studies the Holy Bible may think...
