Customer Reviews:
Classic text on this topic, a bit old, but essential reading.......2000-05-08
Excellent reference book. Essential reading for any chemist or student working in the the field of bonding polymers to glass. Assumes degree level chemistry, so not so accessible to engineers hoping to get background on sizing. Does not discuss micromechanics nor fiber/matrix interphase in mechanical terms. Main focus is bonding glass fibers to thermosetting resins, but also looks at thermoplastics, elastomers (not much detail) and Chapter 8 briefly covers various non composite applications such as water repellent surface treatments, silica packings of GLC (chromatography), etc. etc. Book shows it age in places, but well worth having on your bookshelf.

From the supplier: The existence of chemically active silanols in silicas can affect the rubber compound properties. Rubber grade silicas have semi-reinforcing or highly reinforcing surfaces that resemble those of rubber grade carbon blacks. Silane coupling agents increase the performance and applications of silicas in rubber compounding compared to carbon blacks.

Book Description
Hardbound. Frequent updating of existing interpretation codes and routines is a prerequisite for modern seismogram interpretation and research. The primary goal of this book is to present in a rather tutorial form all the necessary information and techniques pertinent to essential seismogram interpretation. The treatment is descriptive rather then mathematical, and emphasis is placed on practical aspects, especially for the benefit of students and junior seismogram interpreters affiliated to seismographic stations and observatories. Those workers more knowledgeable in seismology, and curious enough in the detailed deciphering of seismogram peculiarities, will also find the presentation useful.
The book is divided into two parts: a verbal description (Chapters 1-6) and a collection of 55 plates (Chapter 7) with interpretations. The verbal description explains in a rather elementary form the most fundamental physical phenomena relevant to seismogram a
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book.......2000-09-28
Really, an interesting and informative book. Very helpful to decipher the phases in seismograms. After a brief review of various seismic phases, author gives the detailed information about the seismic wave. A must for a seismologist.

XTC Song Stories, a good read.......2005-07-04
It helps being a convert or fanatic of this Swindon-based pop-rock group who defies most classfications, but even the less-motivated reader will find plenty to chuckle about in this book. Written in a very breezy, readable style the author tells us bits about the group's catalogue of songs, dating back to the late 70's when XTC was a punk-prototype and New Wave band replete with synth and keyboard special effects. Of course, XTC is still alive and well and recording pop classics, but they're retired, somewhat, and still living in their hometown of Swindon in England. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
"Pastoral Punks", corporate showdowns & rubber sharks.......2003-09-08
There's nothing lurid or scandalous about the band XTC, or its members Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory, who unspool a 25-year and counting history together in this long-overdue "musical biography". Author Neville Farmer places interviews with his subjects into a chronological order from the band's formation at the dawn of punk, then letting them "take over" as co-authors, telling jokes, anecdotes and personal musings on the writing and recording of each and every song in their catalog. As it progresses and more is revealed of the band through its music, it's a good idea to have some of the records handy as a tour guide of sorts. And though it's not loaded with your typical "Behind The Music" style exposes of a "band who had it all and lost it all", it does have its share of backstage drama as the band is cheated by record companies and double-dealing managers, the lead singer suffers a bout with nervous exhaustion that changes the course of the band's history forever and an unprecedented artist vs. commerce showdown results in a strike where XTC refused to record ANY music for a solid decade! It's also a bittersweet farewell to longtime guitarist Dave Gregory, who split with the band after surviving all this and more over artistic differences. So, if you're already a fan of this incredibly underrated band, or you've never heard of them, but are interested in a great "David and Goliath" story (similiar to the Wilco film, "I am trying to break your heart") I could not recommend this more wholeheartedly.
Complete, but not.......2002-04-25
XTC has a large catalogue, and all of it is documented here pretty thoroughly;however, since it's an "authorized" biography, it of course downplays bad business moves, and almost ignores personal political interworkings, in favor of accentuating musical sophistication and "good clean fun." It has song stories, and Andy's subconscious execution of a simple refusal to tour anymore. It also has a controlled feel, which makes you want to read all the parts edited out more than the page in front of you!This is the quality that made me prefer Chalkhills and Children.
Wonderful to see the story attempted but limited details........1999-10-06
I support any effort of XTC and was happy to see this come out tied somewhat to the Apple Venus cd. Encouraged to see the band participated in the interviews rather than lame 3rd hand accounts. But I was looking for so much more detail--how they write, how the tracks really came together. Many people credit XTC with laying the production style into place that others copied and influenced generations of later bands and I really wanted to see that addressed--it didn't. The departure of Terry Chambers was handled as a non-event and he seemed to be one of postpunks most important drummers and a hugely important part of the Black Sea and English Settlement sound--he left and the sound changed (not in a bad way) why didn't this get discussed? Very little insight from Dave G. on how the complex guitar tracks are built. The elements besides lyrics seemed ignored; I understand somewhat. Some people do come to XTC for more than their genius wordplay though.
Interesting book only scratches the surface of xtc.......1998-11-12
Since reading a review of this in Q magazine, I had been eagerly anticipating this book on XTC. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. While the book doesn't pretend to be comphrensive, it lacks an sort of objectivity and analysis from Farmer. Altogether, it isn't a bad place to learn about the band if your a neophyte, but, for those of us who have been faithful for many years, it could have used a little bit more insight on the part of the author and the artists.

Book Description
Ranch life in the 30's and 40's was a juxtaposition of romance and hard reality. Cattle drives, campfires, bucking broncs, and "making do", are what Barbara Corn Patterson experienced as a child growing up on a ranch in southeastern New Mexico. Her rich pioneer heritage will kindle memories of a by-gone time when neighbors were neighbors, and a business deal was sealed by a simple handshake. Families and friends working and playing together during the Great Depression and World War II, in an environment where one's livelihood and survival were threatened by the harsh conditions of the American Southwest, provide a beautifully written backdrop for this bittersweet memoir of a dying way of life.

Download Description
Soil degradation has made erosion control and water harvesting an important measure in most of sub-Sahelian Western Africa. The construction of stone lines, dikes and dams has been proven a sustainable measure which is widely accepted by the rural population of northern Burkina Faso. The objective of a field study which was conducted in Bam Province from 1992 to 1994 was to investigate economic profitability of erosion control measures under farmers' conditions on household level and for different household sub-groups. Main aspects concerned yield changes in small farmers' staple food grain production of sorghum and millet as well as the competition of rock bund construction with other dry season activities. Based on farm surveys, assessment of impact on farmers' fields, investment calculations and risk considerations examined different types of costs: construction and maintenance costs, opportunity costs of dry season activities as well as subsidies offered by development organizations. Results show a high dependence of investment on opportunity costs of family labor and the competition of dry season activities to resource conservation. Farmers' perception of weather induced harvest failure and conservation induced harvest gains makes risk an important factor in rock bund construction. Women as one of the major household sub-groups have no rock bunds on their individual plots and only gain from resource conservation by family fields. So far, it can not be guaranteed that women's economic position is stabilized by resource conservation.
