Book Description

Authored by electron microscopists and leading members of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), the Atlas of Virus Diagrams includes chapters on virus classification. The diagrams, selected for content and historic and aesthetic value, illustrate vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant bacterial viruses taken from English, French, and German language virological literature. The book presents this information in three sections: o Overviews, including vertebrate and plant viruses o Viruses with cubic and helical symmetry o Viruses with binary symmetry (tailed bacteriophages).

Book Description

Now fully updated to cover recent developments, this book covers the closely related techniques of electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) specifically from a geological viewpoint. Topics discussed include: principles of electron-target interactions, electron beam instrumentation, X-ray spectrometry, general principles of SEM image formation, production of X-ray ‘maps’ showing elemental distributions, procedures for qualitative and quantitative X-ray analysis (both energy-dispersive and wavelength-dispersive), the use of both 'true' electron microprobes and SEMs fitted with X-ray spectrometers, and practical matters such as sample preparation and treatment of results. Throughout, there is an emphasis on geological aspects not mentioned in similar books aimed at a more general readership. The book avoids unnecessary technical detail in order to be easily accessible, and forms an up-to-date text on EMPA and SEM for geological postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, as well as those working in industrial laboratories.

Excellent Book on the Basics.......2000-05-19

This book is great for someone who has a little background in physics and calculus. It gives a good breakdown of how the probe works and what kinds of analyses it works best for. This is not an in-depth book on quatitative analyses, but rather, an excellent place to start!

Book Description

This book gives a comprehensive account of both experimental and theoretical aspects of electron microprobe analysis, and is an extensively updated version of the seminal first edition, published in 1975. The design and operation of the instrument, including the electron column and both wavelength- and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometers, are covered in the first part of the book. Experimental procedures for qualitative and quantitative analysis, using both types of spectrometer, are then discussed. Matrix (‘ZAF’) corrections, as required for quantitative analysis, are treated in some detail from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. Special considerations applying to the analysis of ‘light’ elements (atomic number below 10) are covered in a separate chapter. The emphasis throughout is on a sound understanding of principles and the treatment is applicable equally to the electron microprobe in its ‘classical’ form and to scanning electron microscopes fitted with X-ray spectrometers.

Book Description

Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant -- you know, the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male.

But Charlie's been lucky. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store with the help of a couple of loyal, if marginally insane, employees. He's married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. And she, Rachel, is about to have their first child.

Yes, Charlie's doing okay for a Beta. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. Just as Charlie -- exhausted from the birth -- turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel's hospital bedside, a man who claims that no one should be able to see him. But see him Charlie does, and from here on out, things get really weird. . . .

People start dropping dead around him, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death. It's a dirty job. But hey, somebody's gotta do it.

Christopher Moore, the man whose Lamb served up Jesus' "missing years" (with the funny parts left in), and whose Fluke found the deep humor in whale researchers' lives, now shines his comic light on the undiscovered country we all eventually explore -- death and dying -- and the results are hilarious, heartwarming, and a hell of a lot of fun.

A Dirty Job is Minty Fresh.......2007-10-02

I am a huge fan of Christopher Moore, and in particular, this book. It is in my top ten all time favorites. A Dirty Job is the type of book you will read more than once just to see what you missed. I read this one first and felt the need to possess more of his novels. I actually own two copies because I keep on passing them on to more people.
Charley is a grim reaper who believes he is the ultimate Death. The descrptions and prose are laugh-out-loud funny, to the point where I had tears running down my cheeks. That rarely ever happens. The suppporting cast of characters are such that they should get their own books. It is well written with a type of sarcasm that is impossible to write let alone pull off.
I have and will keep on recommending this book to anyone with an interest in(first and foremost) great writing, quarky characters and a great sense of comic timing.

Nice book, like bear........2007-09-10

I want a sequel. No, that'd probably be bad. I want a continuation of this book. As in, I want to get off my chair, thumb to the end of the book and find 200 or so unread pages just waiting to be devoured. Chris Moore's imagination knows no bounds, from dark seductresses who live in the sewers to tiny walking creatures assembled from different body parts of different animals. This is a great book, my first from Chris and it's whet my appetite for some more. One of the funniest authors, and a rare one too; his writing never gets old.

I actually recommened it to my friends.......2007-09-05

I got to the "kitty" part and laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I had to stop and email my friends to tell them to pick it up. Two of them plan on reading it, or something else by him soon.
On a less light note, it made me feel better about the whole death thing. I'm going through a tough time with a family member facing his mortality (he's 85) and this is just what I needed to give me hope of an after life!

minty fresh.......2007-08-30

What impressed me most of this book is the excellent dialogue, riotous to say the least. The story is original, interesting, and profound while at the same time seeped in absurdity. Solid set of well developed and memorable characters, both male and female, and a rich setting (San Francisco). The story revolves around the true secret about what happens to our souls upon death. They go into an important material possession which is retrieved by a Death Merchant to then be sold at a rummage store to another soulless human who possesses it and continues the upwards journey of the soul to a higher level. I did not realize that how it works. Upon the death of his wife, Charlie Asher (if they ever make a movie of this novel, it would have to be Paul Giamatti) becomes one such merchant-perhaps even more than that- and with the assistance of other death merchants fights beings from the underworld attempting to steal the souls to gain power and take over the world, classic battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil. The style of the novel is a blend of Tom Robbins, Elmore Leonard, Kurt Vonnegut, and simply a style of its own making. This writer is awesome and I shall right away purchase and read another of his novels.

Hilarious.......2007-08-27

I've read three and this is the best Christopher Moore book so far. It's full of quirky and clever mouthed characters that, at one point, left me laughing in tears on the couch. I recommend it for anyone who's looking for a humorous fiction to pass some time with.

Wonderful.......2007-09-22

I'm a huge fan of Mr. Moore's books & this one knocked my socks off. Thanks for the laughs & the surprisingly touching story. I loved it all.

Truly a Funny Book.......2007-09-21

This was my first Christopher Moore novel. It will not be the last! The characters were very bizarre, yet totally likeable. But it was set in San Francisco, so what else would you expect? In fact, you kinda wish they were real...well, maybe not. I have to admit that I lost the liking for ham after reading this. It is seldom that I laugh out loud while reading a book, but this one did it more than once.

I will knock it down a star, though, for the overuse of the "f" word. I also think the ending was a bit disappointing. It just kind of ran out of steam, unfortunately. But given the originality of the storyline, the quick wit (albeit a bit dark), and gut-wrenching humour (even to the end), I would recommend it as a fun read for the end of a mind-numbing day.

Hilarious!.......2007-09-18

I laughed my way through this! This novel has everything and the kitchen sink in it and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It is my favorite Christopher Moore so far, (although it's hard to top "Fluke")!

Oh So Funny..........2007-09-14

This book just kept me in stitches. All the characters were funny and blended well with the story. The ending was a shocker to say the least. I am recommending this to everyone and this authors other book "Biff". That was funny.

I absolutely loved this book.......2007-08-27

It's hard to explain to spectators why a passage is laugh-out-loud funny.
It's especially difficult in A Dirty Job.
It's such a fun read. The characters are absurd and believable at the same time, and Christopher Moore's explanation of Beta Males was just great.
I can't wait to dive into another Moore book.

From back cover: "Chris Moore has written the ultimate guide to death, dying, and the sewer system of San Francisco. A Dirty Job deserves a place on the shelf next to Kubler-Ross, even if it screws up the alphabetizing. Thank God they let Chris out of his straitjacket long enough to write this book. It's the perfect read for anyone considering a ride on the Stygian Express." --Bill Fitzhugh, author of Pest Control and Radio Activity
