        Book Description

        Federal regulations have required thousands of underground storage tanks (USTs) to be dug up and removed or replaced. The contamination of soil and ground water from leaking USTs has become widespread and has produced an overwhelming number of sites that require remediation. Assessment and Remediation of Petroleum Contaminated Sites presents the broad scope of the remedial process from initial site assessment to closure in an integrated, understandable format. The book guides you effortlessly through regulatory requirements, site assessments and sampling, and remediation methods. RCRA and CERCLA federal regulations are addressed. The chemistry and toxicology of petroleum hydrocarbons in the remediation process are explained, and factors affecting soil remediation are discussed. Environmental assessments, site characterizations, remediation planning, and remediation methods are all covered in detail. The book is an essential guide for environmental consultants, regulatory agency personnel, engineers, and environmental attorneys.

          Book Description

          The petroleum industry must minimize the environmental impact of its various operations. This extensively researched book assembles a tremendous amount of practical information to help reduce and control the environmental consequences of producing and processing petroleum and natural gas.

          The best way to treat pollution is not to create it in the first place. This book shows you how to plan and manage production activities to minimize and even eliminate some environmental problems without severely disrupting operations.


          It focuses on ways to treat drilling and production wastes to reduce toxicity and/or volume before their ultimate disposal. You'll also find methods for safely transporting toxic materials from the upstream petroleum industry away from their release sites. For those sites already contaminated with petroleum wastes, this book reviews the remedial technologies available. Other topics include United States federal environmental regulations, sensitive habitats, major U.S. chemical waste exchanges, and offshore releases of oil.

          Environmental Control in Petroleum Engineering is essential for industry personnel with little or no training in environmental issues as well as petroleum engineering students.

                    4 out of 5 stars Great Handbook for the initiated and experienced!.......2000-05-26

                    As a scientist and an engineer I found this book to be very helpful in comparing European methods of analysis and remediation with American ones. The book quickly scims the basics and gets right to the point in the second chapter. No time is wasted on extraneous defintions and explanations, you have to know about the topics and chemistry involved before this book gives you what it was written for.

                      Book Description

                      With oil spills occurring worldwide, much media and practical attention has been given in recent years to the rapidly maturing field of hydrocarbon bioremediation, particularly with application to marine spills. Hydrocarbon contamination of soil and groundwater, although less visible, is even more widespread and has provided the background for the numerous studies presented in this book, in addition to those devoted to shoreline spills. Chapters address a wide variety of theory and practice and cover important subjects such as biofiltration, natural attenuation, surfactants, and the use of in situ bioventing compared to soil venting. This unique book represents the collective global experience of practitioners and researchers in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. It describes experiences in tying laboratory studies to field applications. Nowhere else can anyone involved in hydrocarbon bioremediation find more up-to-date, relevant information on field experience using the various techniques and combinations of techniques in remediating hydrocarbons by biological means.

                          Book Description

                          The field of superconductivity has tremendous potential for growth and further development in industrial applications. The subject continues to occupy physicists, chemists, and engineers interested in both the phenomena itself and possible financially viable industrial devices utilizing the physical concepts. For the past five years, within the publications of the American Physical Society, for example, 40%-60% of all articles submitted to major journals in the area of Solid State Physics have been on the subject of superconductivity, including the newer, extremely important subfield of high temperature superconductivity (high Tc).

                          The present volume is the first handbook to address this field. It covers both "classic" superconductivity-related topics and high Tc. Numerous properties, including thermal, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, phase diagrams, and spectroscopic crystallographic structures are presented for many types of superconductors. Critical fields, critical currents, coherence lengths, penetration depths, and transition temperatures are tabulated.

                            Product Description

                            Since the 1980s, a general theme in the study of high-temperature superconductors has been to test the BCS theory and its predictions against new data. At the same time, this process has engendered new physics, new materials, and new theoretical frameworks. Remarkable advances have occurred in sample quality and in single crystals, in hole and electron doping in the development of sister compounds with lower transition temperatures, and in instruments to probe structure and dynamics. Handbook of High-Temperature Superconductvity is a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of both experimental and theoretical methodologies by the the world's top leaders in the field. The Editor, Nobel Laureate J. Robert Schrieffer, and Associate Editor James S. Brooks, have produced a unified, coherent work providing a global view of high-temperature superconductivity covering the materials, the relationships with heavy-fermion and organic systems, and the many formidable challenges that remain.

                                    This two-volume handbook offers a comprehensive and coordinated presentation of SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices), including device fundamentals, design, technology, system construction and multiple applications. It thus bridges the gap between fundamentals and applications, and will be a valuable textbook reference for graduates and for professionals engaged in SQUID research and engineering. It will equally be of use to specialists in multiple fields of practical SQUID applications, from human brain research and heart diagnostics, via airplane and nuclear plant testing to prospecting for oil, minerals and buried ordnance.

                                    The first volume presents the theory of SQUIDs, their fabrication from low- and high-temperature superconductors, the necessary readout electronics, and the design and performance of practical direct current and radio-frequency SQUIDs. It concludes with an overview of the most important SQUID system issues. In addition, an appendix summarizes the foundations of superconductivity that are necessary to understand SQUIDs, while a glossary and tables of units and constants are also included.

                                    The second volume is devoted to applications.

                                          It's the return of the sistahs! Tastes Like Chicken is Lolita Files's much anticipated continuing story of the lives of Misty Fine and Reesy Snowden, the dynamic heroines of the bestselling novels Scenes from a Sistah and Getting to the Good Part. With steamy thrills and disastrous infidelities, Lolita's latest is a tale of two women who find themselves poised at life's crossroads with everything to lose but their friendship.

                                          What's a girl to do when she finds out her man's been feeding her lies? When readers last saw them, Misty had just married her dream man, Rick Hodges, and was off on a fabulous honeymoon. On an equally hopeful note, a pregnant and newly engaged Reesy was riding off into the sunset with her fiancé -- reformed ladies' man Dandre Hilliard. But it isn't long before the men start misbehaving again, and in Tastes Like Chicken, they get what's coming to them.

                                          Reesy gets the shock of her life on her wedding day, when a vengeful stranger delivers an ugly surprise that gives her serious doubts about the man she loves. Reesy doesn't stick around to hear more bad news -- she hightails it to California, leaving her old life and her fiancé behind. Dandre is fast on her heels trying to prove the legitimacy of his feelings, but those California girls prove to be a dangerous distraction, and Reesy herself finds some racy excitement in the heady world of L.A. casting calls and nightclub scenes.

                                          Meanwhile, back on the East Coast, family and friends of both women are wrestling with their own relationship problems. A seductive interloper threatens to upset Reesy's parents' marriage, and Misty and Rick get a surprise of their own, which forces Misty to confront some shocking truths about the man she married. With her best friend on the other side of the country, Misty can only hope that she doesn't have to face the future alone.

                                          As fans of these savvy, sexy women know, not much can keep Reesy and Misty from their ultimate dream of "having it all." Filled with the humor and personal drama that made her first books national bestsellers, Lolita Files's Tastes Like Chicken takes the sistahs -- and readers -- on their wildest ride yet.

                                          5 out of 5 stars "Crazy Funny".......2007-02-04

                                          This book was so crazy and the characters reminded me of my own family members. I loved it and found myself laughing out loud many times. I don't want to give anything away, but Reesy's mom was off the chain, and dad showed what he was made of and I can't even think about those "cousins" without laughing. I got this one from the library, but after reading it, I had to have it for my collection. I'll definately read it again, when I want a few laughs. Loved It.....

                                          3 out of 5 stars Left me confused and wanting more..........2006-07-21

                                          To me the story was short and very incomplete. Although she gave us plentry of drama in the lives and relationships of our main charecters. I wanted to know what happened with Tyrene and Tyrone; and Misty and Rick?? It ended to happily ever after to me..and so much was left out. All in all it was a good read but I expected more from Ms. Files!

                                          2 out of 5 stars Tastes Like Chicken.. NOT, more like CRAP.......2006-05-12

                                          Tastes like chicken???

                                          I don't know what that is a reference too, but I do know this book was not a good read. Sure the girls- Reesy and Misty are back. I was looking forward to reading their adventures, but it was not their adventures, it was more like the Reesy show, and her show did not get good reviews. From the beginning it had potential, the trip to California added even more potential, but then it basically just ended with a bunch of loose ends, with undeveloped plotlines. Sleazy was funny, but who was he? Heck if we the readers know. The twins role in this book and it was boring, and pointless. Rick, ok he needs help... I guess we have to wait until the fourth installment of this series to see how this mess ends. I think the author should have spent less time, calling out names, (Maxell, Malika Yoba, Eric Jerome Dickey) and spent more time ending storylines.

                                          I must admit this book was funny, but so is an episode Seinfeld, and there is no charge to watch it. This book costs $$$. I enjoyed the part about the dogs. I googled that breed to see if I saw a resemblance to a cat, I did not. The Tyrene/Tyrone storyline was unappealing. Overall, I doubt if I would want to read yet another book about these same people. After all the whole storyline could have been wrapped up in this book, not extended to a fourth book. The author should have learned that in writing 101

                                          5 out of 5 stars Everyone has skeletons in their own closet, becareful in how you judge........2006-05-09

                                          Each character wanted to judge another for their own faults, but could not realize their own situation.

                                          For example, Tyrene, was yelling and calling everyone else wrong, when she was a common-law wife for years and never set the right example for her own daughter. Along, with this, she cheated with the father of her daughter's fiancee, one of the main persons she could not stomach. Tyrene, may have had these feelings all along and not realized her emotions being drawn into the desire of her not only from Dr. Hill.

                                          Next, you have Tyrone, he is just as much blame in setting a bad example for the daughter. He could not for years speak his mind or opinion. But when, it came to a very drastic problem, he decided to let it out the wrong way and at the wrong time. Also, not telling his daughter about the common-law marriage, being one of the Panthers, and last but not least, orgies his wife and him were having. For being lawyers, they could have settled their case another way in court. He decided he wanted to go kill his wife and Dr. Hill, but through God his friend Trini caught him just in time. Was the guilt over the fact his wife was cheating or was it over the fact who she was cheating with?

                                          Dandre, he needed to have forgiven Chloe and Zoe and helped them to reform from the loose life. Instead he just had gotten rid of them and had them to moved somewhere else, but from his own frustration and guilt. At least he did have the "somewhat decent Sleazy" to show him how to come to an understanding of forgiving others as well and accepting them for not being perfect as well. Even though Dandre, knew he was in love with Reesy, he still accepted her faults, but in the beginning he did not when he caught her cheating. Dandre, is a former playboy, "Ex-Ho." But from what I understand in previous books, the two of them are more compatible for one another than a little.

                                          Misty and Rick altogether, were deceiving one another. They wanted the love and the romance involved, but to their own hidden agendas. They could not come to realization when it really should have been stated clearly in the beginning of how what was to be expected out their marriage.

                                          There's a lot to be said, when it comes to forgiving, but let us not withhold our own inhibitions, to deceive others by judging one another. Especially, when judgement day will come.... I apologize, if I am retelling the story, but it tells you how much I enjoyed the book, my movie in other words. And I wanted to say much more about Dr. Hill and the main character Reesy, but they had to learn to forgive and forget also.








                                          5 out of 5 stars OVER -THE- TOP DRAMA!!!.......2005-09-13

                                          The girls--Misty and Reesey--are back, with all of their drama! Our girl Reesey is about to marry the love of her life--reformed playboy Dandre. But a spectre from his past shows up to throw scandal on the big day. Reesey flees to L.A. to begin anew, and almost becomes caught up in everything that one has to beware of when trying to "make it" in Hollywood. But you can't hide, and ex-fiance Dandre follows her to California, determined to win back her heart....

                                          Meanwhile Reesey's parents Tyrone and Tyrene are due for a little drama of their own. After being together for most of their lives, both seem to be getting a little bored. Soon Tyrene discovers lust in the most unlikely of places..but when Tyrone finds out (and he will), there will be hell to pay!

                                          Best friend Misty and her husband Rick seem to have the idea marriage. They adore each other, and their love life is sizzling. Unfortunately, they are on entirely different timetables when it comes to building a family. And desparate men do desparate things, and husband Rick's desire for a baby soon drives him to do the unthinkable.....


                                          A true pageturner, readers will delight in the hilarious drama of it all. Most will be pumping their fists for our girls and their men, mistakes and all......
