Book Description
This is the first book entirely devoted to travertine, a material in use for over 4000 years. The single-author work is a valuable reference source for travertine, covering all aspects of travertine origins, formation, composition, flora and fauna, occurrence and utilisation, as well as covering allied continental carbonates such as lake marls, calcretes and beachrocks. Travertine, some forms of which are often known as ‘tufa’, is of particular significance as a source of environmental information (fossils and isotope geochemistry), often permitting the reconstruction of past environments. Reviews of dating techniques, classification and geomorphology are included and the author attempts to provide an unbiased but critical appraisal of current models of travertine formation. Currently, travertine is in great demand as a building and ornamental stone. It has also been exploited in unconventional ways, such as ‘petrifying springs’ and by way of unusual and little known artistic techniques. Scaling of pipes and boilers is often the result of processes allied to travertine formation. The phenomenon is described parallel to methods of scale elimination and compared with natural processes where travertine formation is inhibited. Travertine sites are of special scientific interest, with their rich and often unique floras and faunas displaying their unique biodiversity, and their unusual and often fragile biota. Conservation issues are discussed, together with the description of travertine fossils and occurrences throughout the geological record.The content will be of interest to carbonate sedimentologists, hydrobiologists, palaeoclimatologists, physical geographers, water treatment engineers, astrobiologists, architects, and sculptors.
Book Description
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface in Australia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface to Australia? How important is Australia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface vary from one country of origin to another in Australia? On the supply side, Australia also exports cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface. Which countries receive the most exports from Australia? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface in Australia. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface for those countries serving Australia via exports, or supplying from Australia via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Australia fits into the world market for imported and exported cut marble, travertine, and alabaster with a flat or even surface. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Australia in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Australia is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Australia compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

Book Description
Dowsing is an art used for millennia to find water, minerals and metals, and today employed by builders, plumbers, and electricians the world over. Although it remains one of the most widely used paranormal skills, little is understood about it. Dowsing tells the story of this ancient science and its principles, offering instructions for making dowsing instruments, locating water, and dowsing your home.

Connecting man to his Earth home.......2007-07-12
This a delightfully short yet complete account of the uses of dowsing, a distillation of wide experience on virtually every continent. Written by one of the true gurus in this field it provides essential details which one can carry in a shirt pocket to refer to in the field. In all, a great introduction to an physical force, known for millenia, used by pre-christian cultures, yet still without complete scientific explanation.
An excellent introduction to this widespread skill........2004-09-28
This is a great little book on Dowsing, and a welcome addition to this excellent series on the ancient sciences. Miller covers the subject in some depth while remaining comfortably light-hearted. I first came across dowsing when working on a construction site and saw buried cables located by the technique. I later saw a missing dog accurately located using map dowsing and thereafter learnt what I could about it. Try telling a country farmer that it doesn't work as does an ealier reviewer! For the record Agricola records that dowsers "...wander hither and thither at random through mountainous regions. It is said that the moment they place their feet on a vein the twig immediately turns and twists, and so by its action discloses the vein; when they move their feet again and go away from that spot the twig becomes once more immobile." This is in fact what occurs and Miller's book, told with the simple charm of a master dowser, is an excellent and gentle encouragement into the mysteries of this venerable and ancient science.
Exploring An Ancient Art.......2004-07-12
This little book, written by a Brit, is both concise and comprehensive. It covers the history of the ancient art of dowsing, its multiple applications, and its future possibilities, in a way that can be understood by most anyone. I highly recommend it.

Worthless, laughable, and has facts wrong!.......2004-06-16
This glob of New Age silliness is part of an otherwise interesting and well-intentioned series called "Wooden Books," introductions to mathematical proofs, anatomy, etc. Sadly, this entry is a load of hooey, starting on page 2 when author Miller talks about the history of dowsing. He discusses a 1556 book by Georgius Agricola on the subject of using dowsing to find metal ore. Miller admits that Agricola actually discouraged dowsing, but claims that the refutation is due to Agricola being wary of dowsing's association with the occult.
In fact, Agricola, like many others, rejected dowsing because it simply was not useful: "A miner...should not make use of an enchanted twig because...a forked stick is of no use to him, for there are natural indications of the veins which he can see for himself without the help of twigs." Thus Miller, either through ignorance or design, has misinformed and misled his readers.
Dowsing, like psychic powers, has repeatedly been tested and repeatedly failed under controlled conditions. Miller fills the remaining 62 pages with unproven and wild claims about psychic powers, astral travel, time travel, and other such things. For those who know anything about the topics, it's actually kind of funny!
Dowsing: A Journey Beyond our Five Senses.......2004-06-12
Dowsing tells the story of dowsing and its principles, and offers instructions for making dowsing instruments, locating water, and dowsing your own home. The book is thin, impeccably designed, and will stimulate more thinking and subsequent "Eureka" moments than a dozen novels laced with narrative innovation. And, at $10.00, it's a marvelous gift for yourself or someone you care about. I loved it.

Book Description
WE KNOW THE AP PHYSICS EXAM
The experts at The Princeton Review study the AP Physics exam and other standardized tests each year to make sure you get the most up-to-date, thoroughly researched books possible.
WE KNOW STUDENTS
Each year we help more than two million students score high with our courses, bestselling books, and award-winning software.
WE GET RESULTS
Students who take our courses for the SAT, GRE, LSAT, and many other tests see score improvements that have been verified by independent accounting firms. The proven techniques we teach in our courses are in this book.
AND IF IT'S ON THE AP PHYSICS EXAM, IT'S IN THIS BOOK
We don't try to teach you everything there is to know about Physics--only the facts and techniques you'll need to know to score high on the Advanced Placement exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the AP Physics B & C, 1999-2000 Edition, you will learn to think like the test-makers and:
*Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
*Improve your score by knowing in advance what physics topics are tested
*Memorize complicated physics concepts with simple techniques
*Ace the free-response section by practicing with our sample questions
Practice your skills on the two full-length sample tests inside (one each for the Physics B & C exams). The questions are just like the ones you'll see on the actual AP Physics exam, and we fully explain every answer.

Great overall but only focuses on the harder aspects.......1999-07-12
The Princeton Review did a great job with this book; it covers everything you need to know and more. It does have one drawback, however. This book focuses on preparing you for the hard questions on the test without spending enough time on the simpler, more conceptual questions (which the AP test does cover). If this book were to be used in conjunction with Barron's AP Physics, you'd have all your bases covered. I used those two books to help me score my "5" in AP Physics B.
Good Preparation.......1999-05-28
This book gives nice, brief explanations of all the required topics on the Physics AP while going more in-depth in the example problems. The only downfall, and this may be true with other prep books too, is that the practice problems aren't similar enough to the real AP problems to give you good practice. The practice test is rather discouraging, but most prep books are harder than the real AP. In short, learn from this book, but don't practice too much from it.
Lots of good review and problems........1999-04-27
This a a nice, large study aid that works as an excellent review but doesn't teach you everything there is about physics, just what you need to know for the exam.
Book Description
This collection of lesser-known gems by Mark Twain (1835-1910) begins with a witty account of a fictional town called Hadleyburg, which prides itself on its long untarnished tradition of incorruptible citizens. One day someone in the town offends a stranger passing through and he vows to take revenge by plotting an elaborate scheme to show the whole nation just how corruptible this sanctimonious bastion of virtue really is. Twain is at his best here poking fun at small-town hypocrisy as the self-satisfied pillars of the community are done in by their own greed.
Also included are fourteen other short pieces of fiction and nonfiction, including Twain's account of his literary debut as a reporter, an essay on the famous author's "first lie," an amusing tongue-in-cheek petition to Queen Victoria regarding a tax bill sent to Twain by the English revenue office, an "Esquimau Maiden's Romance," a detective story, and other intriguing and scarcely known pieces.
These entertaining short works will be a welcome discovery to all those who have enjoyed Twain's popular novels and stories.
