Book Description

Growing demands for plastics occur in many industries and resulted in the development of new technologies associated with paintability of plastics. Due to the fact that painting plastics requires extensive knowledge not only of paints but also of substrates, this monograph provides an overview of plastics paintability in a context of molding processes. This book is designed to serve those who are interested in painting plastic substrates, in particular, polypropylene, polyethylene, thermoplastic olefins, and many others. The book is written by a leading scientist in plastic industries and covers basic concepts of plastic processability along with its painting effectiveness. The coverage extends to all modern topics that are "a must" for engineers and chemists who are interested in coatings for plastics.

Book Description

The understanding of adhesion and interfacial effects has benefited from various technological advances in recent years. Advances in laboratory equipment, analytical tools such as the nanoindentor, SIMS, and ESCA, and improvements in computing technology have greatly expanded the relevant body of knowledge. Rapid progress in adhesion and interfacial science has made dissemination of results in a timely fashion more important than ever. Accordingly, the editors of this book organized an ACS symposium, sponsored by the Division of Polymer Chemistry, entitled Fundamentals of Adhesion and Interfaces. The papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the symposium.

A unique and useful book.......2001-04-12

I am a polymer scientist and surface scientist. This book contains a lot of useful information about wetting, surface energies, surface modification and adhesion.

Even more importantly for me is that it also contains special treatment of aspects not covered in any other book. In particular it has extensive information about transcrystallinity of polymers, how to induce it and it's affect of polymer wettability and adhesion.

This book is not for everyone but if you want to know about surface aspects of polymers the I highly recommend it. I'm hoping there will be a new edition one day...

Another extremely good book in this area is Polymer Surface Modification and Characterisation by Chi-Ming Chan.

The title The Great Human Diasporas implies that this book is a history of human migration, but it is much more. It is a readable, accessible summary of the lifework of Luca Cavalli-Sforza, who has done more than anyone else to reveal the genetic makeup of human populations. Originally written in Italian with Cavalli-Sforza's filmmaker son Francesco, it maintains some qualities of an interview: The Great Human Diasporas is full of anecdotes about the Pygmies with whom Cavalli-Sforza works, the text is frequently personal yet not self-serving, and it clearly shows how he helped tie together population genetics, linguistics, and anthropology to offer a new, non-racist view of human diversity.

Customer Reviews:

Good introduction to anthropology.......2006-02-25

This is a book covering a wide range of topics relating to anthropology. Cavalli-Sforza tells of his experiences with African Pygmies in the Congo, and relates these experiences to ideas as to what hunter-gatherer life was like. He explains the discovery and history of the theory of evolution, and explains the human tree. The spread and migration of humans since the dawn of their evolution is described in good detail. Molecular biology is easily explained. He also describes theories of agriculture's emergence and significance. Cavalli-Sforza juxtaposes what we know of human migrations from DNA with what we know from linguistic evidence. He also discusses cultural anthropology and the concept of race. It is impressive that Cavalli-Sforza has such a good command of a wide range of subjects.

The book is a good read, especially for the layman. Overall, it is an account of humanity's evolution viewed from a variety of fields.

good account of human history.......2002-10-27

Great Huaman Diaspporas covers the history of humanity from its origins in Africa and how it spread through different parts of the world. It goes into homo saphiens forefathers and how homo saphiens forefathers evolved into modern man. It also deals with how gene environments influenced genes. It also deals with how language language and race developed.

Overall, a account of how humanity developed it in terms of genes, race and langage.

genes, languages, prehistoric human migrations.......2002-09-22

The most rewarding part of this popular science book is the middle, fifth to seventh chapters, in which Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Professor of Genetics at Stanford Medical School, draws on scientific research in human population genetics, in which he has been a well respected pioneer, to describe the migration of human populations beginning about 100,000 years ago out of Africa until recent times. Because patterns of genetic and linguistic evolution exhibit high intercorrelations--even though their respective elements and mechanics differ--he also cites linguistic evidence for this account of migratory prehistory.

The most valuable contribution of this book to popular understanding is that population genetics provides possibly the best though not sole scientific basis on which to construct the prehistory of human "races." By this evidence, we learn, for example, about the migration of modern Homo sapiens to Southeast Asia and Australia approximately 55,000 to 60,000 years ago or about the spread of Neolithic farmer-cultivators from the Middle East into Europe beginning about 9,000 to 10,000 years ago. I suspect that readers unfamiliar with modern human evolution will find the genetic tree of the world's populations on page 119 intriguing. The diagram shows, for example, that Northeast Asians are more closely related to Europeans than Northeast Asians are to Southeast Asians.

For as rapidly advancing a science as human population genetics, it should not be surprising that some findings are dated. Recent evidence suggests, for instance, that North Asians descended from both southern China populations that gradually migrated northward as well as Caucasian populations that migrated eastward, so that some genetic mixing all across North Asia took place and is the source of the observed racial connections between North Asians and Caucasians.

In other chapters, Cavalli-Sforza tackles related topics somewhat unevenly. His anecdotes about the African pygmies are light and sympathetic. While his description of the hominid line is accurate for the time of publication, there are more insightful not to mention updated accounts now in print. His discussion of the links between genes and culture is engaging and humane but from the standpoint of science, no better than educated. His rejoinder to the controversial The Bell Curve (1994) is scientifically persuasive.

I very much enjoyed reading this book, the first I purchased at amazon.com.

Good, but no clear objective........2002-05-29

Much interesting material, and some difficult concepts explained clearly for the general lay person. However, the book has no clear objective. It is best read as a supplement to the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Jared Diamond, "Guns, Germs and Steel".

Really good, I Recommend it.......2002-05-15

Ok, this will be a short one. The book is really good, I recommend it vastly. As a molecular biologist I am impressed with the expertise of L. L. Cavalli-Sforza in varios areas of science. He does not only manage to comunicate in an easy manner the complexities of genetics and molecular biology (related to this subject), but also accomplishes to clarify lots of linguistic information gathered through his life studies. This last topic was the hardest for me to understand, though I believe language studies are not easy. So, as said in the beginning, this book is highly recommended.

Book Description

This symposium addresses all aspects of H- and D- sources, the formation of negative hydrogen and deuterium beams from these sources, and their beam transport properties. The discussion includes both the latest theoretical and experimental work in these areas. The negative ion sources are multicusp, Penning, magnetron, rf (1-13 MHz), surface converter, microwave/ECR (GHz frequency), and polarized source types. Experimental work also includes beam chopping, space-charge lenses, optimized negative ion extraction systems, and beam diagnostics. The negative ion production mechanisms are volume (pure hydrogen or deuterium discharge) and surface production using cesium or other alkali metal to catalyze negative ion production. Theoretical analyses include plasma chemistry, particle-in-cell modeling, and H-/D- extraction physics simulations. The main applications for H- sources are in high-energy neutral beam injectors for fusion reactors and H- sources for charge exchange injection into synchrotrons or spallation neutron source storage rings.

Book Description

The reported advances with small sources of negative ions, especially negative hydrogen ions, drive the progress of many accelerators and enable new research methods and technologies. Large sources of negative deuterium ions are being developed for the international experimental fusion reactor (ITER) that will require 40 MW of plasma heating. The developments increasingly use computer modeling to understand the underlying physics, improve existing, and develop new technologies.

Book Description

In her book, Serving Gravy with a Slotted Spoon, Freda Gower Ward takes a witty and humorous approach to life's occurrences, lampooning herself and husband, Hal, in the offbeat telling of the happenings of everyday life. With over fifty chapters about frustrating, ridiculous and riotous subjects, the book is sure to please readers of all ages. The anecdotes about the refrigerator that's too full to close, the hypothetical investing fortune--and loss--forgetfulness (my brain's out for breakfast and isn't back yet), the brush, floss and rinse diet, egg on the floor, water saving toilets and more will hit you where you live.

Perfect "Spare Moment" Book.......2002-04-13

Got a spare moment? Pick up Fred Ward's delightful book and serve up a spoon of charm and wisdom that will have you smiling and nodding in agreement. A great Mother's Day or get well book for the bedside table.

Irritating.......2002-03-20

Ward's perpetual condescension of everything from her husband to microwave popcorn makes this book irritating at best...

Humorus glimpse at everyday life.......2002-02-23

Freda Gower Ward turns the mundane of everyday life into humor with her Erma Bombeck-style novel ýServing Gravy with a Slotted Spoon.ý Page after page it is obvious that this authorýs glimpses into her life parallel my own. When my spouse walks in wanting to know where I hid his hammer because if he had used it last he would surly know where it is, I wonder if Mss. Ward has been peeping in my window. Serving Gravy with a Slotted Spoon is a must read that I am recommending to all my friends and next week I plan to start her unique diet plan.
