    Book Description

    The basic concept of this new edition remains unchanged: Emphasis is again put on a broader description of the general methods and processes for the synthesis, modification and characterization of macromolecules. These more fundamental chapters will be supplemented by 115 selected and detailed experiments. In addition to the preparative aspects the book also gives the reader an impression on the relation of chemical constitution and morphology of Polymers to their properties, as well as on their application areas. Thus, an additional textbook will not be needed in order to understand the experiments.

    The 4th edition nevertheless contains numerous changes: Chapter 1 and 2 are enlarged, 15 older examples have been replaced by new ones and background text is added. Suitable for students in organic and polymer chemistry as well as for chemists in industry who want to acquaint themselves with the theoretical and practical aspects of macromolecular chemistry.

    From the reviews:

    "This is an excellent book for all polymer chemsits engaged in synthesis research studies and education. It is educationally sound and has excellent laboratory synthetic examples. The fundamentals are well done for the teaching of students and references are resonably up-to-date. As in previous issues, there are sections dealing with an introduction; structure and nomenclature; methods and techniques for synthesis, characterization, processing and modification of polymers.

    ....The authors have noted the following changes from previous editions- a new section on correlayions of structure, morphology and properties; revision and enlargement of other property and characterization procedures; additional new experiments such as controlled radical polymerization; enzymatix polymerizations; microelmulsions; and electrical conducting polymers.

    This is a high quality textbook at a reasonable price and should be considered as a suitable references for all engaged in synthetic areas of polymer research." (Eli M. Pearce)

                  3 out of 5 stars A thought-provoking book with a few faults.......1999-10-04

                  The Great Dinosaur Extinction Controversy is a well-written book containing interesting theories with scientific data & charts galore. The book succeeds in driving home the point that the Alvarez theory, as currently accepted, is probably not the answer for the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, Officer and Page don't fully explain a couple of their own theories. For example, much of their data is speciously based on the fossil record, which is scarce and not necessarily indicative of all the species present at any time. Also, they mention the sea level lowering dramatically, which would go hand-in-hand with massive global climate changes as the water collected (possibly) at the polar ice caps (this is not explained). The book does a good job, however, of debunking the pseudoscience and mystique of the Alvarez hypothesis. Although Officer & Page have some gaps in their theory, it is better explained than the "impact idea". Unfortunately, massive volcanism is not as exciting as extraterrestrial doomsday objects hurtling toward earth. This book is definitely food for thought, and it shows how certain theories, when promoted by powerful individuals within the scientific community, can be accepted as truth with very little proof.

                  5 out of 5 stars An Excellent, Thought Provoking Book!.......1999-06-08

                  An excellent, well reasoned book with plenty of data to support the volcanic-theory of the KT extinctions. A good example of how a reasoned apporoach to a popular scientific theory is important to read.

                  5 out of 5 stars The book is an excellent study of how a lie becomes fact........1998-09-28

                  This is a book debunking, sucessfully in my opinion, the popularly accepted idea that a asteroid hit the earth 65 million years ago. The asteroid impact theory actually consists of two parts,one that a comet hit the earth 65 million years ago and the other that this caused a mass extinction of life on earth. Most professionals knew the second part was nonsense from the get-go, the mass extinction took place over a two million year long period and could not have been caused by an asteroid strike. However there was always the coincidence of the timing of the impact. Officer and Page summarized data that points out that there is no evidence for an impact that cannot be better explained by other sources or indicates that evidence is being contorted (to say the least), i.e. volcanism is shown to have been the source of the iridium layer, the Chicxulub crater the wrong age, etc. The authors may have written a more important book than they intended, in debunking a popular psuedo-scientific theory (there is simply no non-debatable evidence of an impact) they show how nonsense is turned into fact by repetition and politics. Note; the book is written for laymen and not professionals. Then again professionals do not need it.

                  1 out of 5 stars Unscientific.......1998-08-12

                  This book is more interesting as an unintended study of human nature than it is as a scientific work.

                  When initially proposed as an explanation of the Cretaceous Mass Extinction in 1980, the meteor impact theory of Alvarez et al was greeted with widespread "howls of rage and laughter" (to use the words of Gould). Over the ensuing years data after data has accumulated till now it is the reigning paradigm. People don't give up their cherished beliefs, their hard earned intellectual positions easily and without good evidence. Some never do. As Kuhn has pointed out some never do accept a new paradigm and we must wait for a generation to die out.

                  The case in point here is Officer and Page who are still in a state of denial. Their book, THE GREAT DINOSAUR EXTINCTION CONTROVERSY can be viewed as a last gasp attempt to "just say it isn't so". It is not a fairly written book. They leave out data. (example: the results of core drilling at the Chixulub Crater site). And without the hard data to back their position, they fall back on polemics -- They simply deny that there was a meteor impact at all.

                  One would be annoyed by this, if one did not realize that Officer has left the realm of science and entered that of religion where beliefs must be accepted on faith.

                  For a comprehensive review of the data that has won over the bulk of the scientific community see NIGHT COMES TO THE CRETACEOUS by James Lawrence Powell, or T. REX AND THE CRATER OF DOOM by Walter Alvarez himself.

                    Book Description

                    There is a growing understanding that the progress of the conventional silicon technology will reach its physical, engineering and economic limits in about a decade. What will take us beyond 2010 are new molecular and other nanotechnologies that require the efforts of trans-disciplinary teams of physicists, quantum chemists, material and computer scientists, and engineers.
                    This volume represents a unique collection of interdisciplinary review and original papers by experts in molecular nanowires, carbon nanotubes, mesoscopic super- and semiconductors, and theorists in the field of strongly correlated electrons and phonons. Topics include molecular nanojunctions and electronics, mesoscale semiconductors and superconductors, carbon nanotubes, low dimensional conductors, polarons and strongly-correlated electrons in nanoobjects, quantum theory of nanoscale, and new techniques for making nano and mesoscopic sensors and detectors.

                    The third novel of Hamilton's Anita Blake series has the petite necromancer fighting a giant cobra and a rogue vampire, Alejandro, who wants her for his human servant. Anita is still resisting the advances of Jean-Claude, St. Louis's master vampire, but she does need him on her side, if not in her bed. Anita's reluctant involvement in the odd goings-on at the supernatural Circus of the Damned introduces her to Richard, the werewolf of her dreams, and Larry, her powerful but nervous partner in zombie-raising.

                    Mystery fans will love the tightly plotted, Paretsky-esque action, and horror fans will love just about everything in this unusual series.

                    4 out of 5 stars good quick read.......2007-09-28

                    This is the last book of the Anita Blake series i have read as of this review (need to order the rest :o ) but i can safely say that this series is a winner. Each book so far has carried the series' plot forward, while at the same time you could pick one up and read it in any order, as they can almost be called separate books in a greater story line, much like the New Jedi Order books where for that series.

                    Not too long in length, this is a good book, and a quick read. i would recommend reading this in a place where you can focus on it, and wont be distracted. The first book i picked up (was the second book of the series, whoops!) i read on an airplane. i would imagine a long bus ride or other form of long travel it would be good for as well.

                    The only down side i personally find with this book, and the others of the Anita Blake series, is that i want to go and read them all after finishing one. Well, i guess thats not a bad thing, per say.

                    Last comment, as i have read now three of the series' books you could well call me a fan. If you are looking for a completely objective review, i suggest you take this one with a grain of salt...

                    4 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-09-03

                    So I needed a Vamp fix after Black Dagger Brotherhood (best series I have read so far action, drama, passion, romance ...the works). So I decided to check out Anita Blake, it was not what I expected there has been no romance, or steamy scenes of any kind so far Im on book 3....but I AM NOT disappointed the action and drama is fast paced. I love a cycnical kick @$$ chick. I bought the first 11 and intend to read them all. It's a great series, very gory, gritty, and abit scary I LUV it;)Hard to stop reading once you start! I just wish she would get with Jean-Claude already...

                    4 out of 5 stars Super Reader.......2007-08-26

                    There is a dose of politics in this one, both the human kind, and the vampire kind. The human issue is one of separatism, basically, as the Humans First organisation wants more information on and the ability to get rid of, the vampire power structures in the city.

                    This book again has Edward, which is always good.

                    Imagine if the Executioner or the Punisher got bored with hunting and killing crims and decided on something trickier, and you have a bit of an idea what Edward is about. Except that he is not so keen on the girls as the Executioner.

                    Another powerful group of supernaturals also roll into town, and there is a nice, big, battle, which is action packed and a lot of fun.

                    5 out of 5 stars Another Thriller.......2007-06-04

                    Fantastic read. I couldn't guess the end the book was full of suspense action and betrayal. We saw Anita's life hand in the balance alongside Jean-Claude - will they ever get together..... already ordered the next book. Absolutely loved this book very short read (two nights) couldn't put it down. There is also a new possible love interest for Anita in this novel and we are left hanging for the next installment as to who she will pick! can't wait.

                    5 out of 5 stars FINALLY a good introduction to the werewolves.......2007-03-27

                    We meet Richard who becomes Anita's new lust interest. Jean-Claude shows his heart. More kick-butt action from Anita. More murders, although the actual investigation scene wasn't as graphic as hunting down the animalistic vampire. Anita meets two more master vampires, both older than Nikolaos from Guilty Pleasures. She agress w/Mr. Oliver, the older master of the two, when he requests that she give up the name of the Master of the City so he can take over and reverse the legislation that legalizes vampires. He wants it back to survival-of-the-fitest becasue he strongly believes that the legalization of vampires will lead to extinction of humans. Anita accepts a date w/Richard however is poisoned. I don't want to give away any more but in this book Richard tells Anita that he believes Jean-Claude loves her and that he wishes her love in return. She denies it at first then admits that in some dark corner of her heart she might love him after all. But the fact that he is the living dead she refuses to believe it. She, however, starts to wonder how undead he really is, being that vampires are not supposed to have a soul or a reflection - yet Jean-Claude has a reflection. She accepts Richard being a were-wolf, even almost defends it at the very last page of the book.

                    4 out of 5 stars Fun!.......2007-09-09

                    I bought this series for my boyfriend and have found myself paging through it. Hamilton's novels are quite fun and full of action, which keeps the reader energized. However, those expecting these works to mirror Anne Rice will not be satisfied, as these novels lack the level of detail present in Anne Rice novels. They do of course concern themselves with vampires, so those fond of Anne Rice will have fun with these. Definitely worth the read!

                    3 out of 5 stars Bubble Gum.......2007-08-18

                    Bubble gum is not good for your teeth, but I chew it anyhow. I know it will satisfy a craving consistently. Like bubble gum, I cannot stop chewing up these books. It is primarily the sexual tension on the pages and the fact that I am a Buffy fan and need my vampire fix. The plots are formulaic, and Ms. Hamilton does need a better editor. "Alright," though used, is not really acceptable in formal text. In the third volume, Anita's car gets totaled, and then suddenly, she has a car again to follow someone to the million-year-old vampire's digs. I also cannot stand some of the author's phrases, such as "heap big vampire slayer." Quite possibly I cringe because no young woman would talk like this. As well, I have a hard time buying some of Anita's outfits. I was in my twenties in the late 90's, and I never would have worn the ensembles Anita wears. Thank God that Blake is taking some hints from the Master of the City. Granted the protagonist has bigger things on her mind; however, she dresses like the would-be love child of Richard Simmons and Minnie Pearl. There are some other typos and logical inconsistencies scattered throughout other books. All the things I just mentioned are "nitpicky," but some of them do stop me in my tracks as I am flying through the pages. I do not want to encounter sand when I am chewing my gum.

                    5 out of 5 stars Amazing books.......2007-06-27

                    Perfect! I finished this box set in less than a week. The books have excellent plots, detailed characters, and witty humor that have me laughing out loud. I made the mistake of getting one of the later books first and was so glad I started at the beginning. These books are fun and frisky. Definitely a recommended read for those who like action, romance, and refreshing characters.

                    5 out of 5 stars Got me Started.......2007-03-17

                    This 4-book set was the first I had read of the Anita Blake series. I have since ordered another 5 books from that series and will order the rest after I read those. These are really well written and move right along with interesting characters and plots.

                    5 out of 5 stars Anita Blake foursome...........2007-03-15

                    Anyone who loves Laurell K Hamilton will love this foursome. These are the first books in the Anita Blake series and well worth your time for a great price.

                            An omnibus edition of the first three Anita Blake novels. The dust jacket flap reads: "I'm Anita Blake, expert on creatures of the night. Vampires call me The Executioner. What I call them isn't repeatable. Ever since the Supreme Court granted the undead equal rights, most people think vampires are just ordinary folk with fangs. I know better. I've seen their victims. I carry the scars ... In my job -- I'm an animator; I raise the dead -- I've seen just about everything. I've dined with shapeshifters, danced with werewolves and been wooed, but not won, by Jean-Claude, the most powerful bloodsucker in St. Louis. When a serial killer started murdering vampires, it was Jean-Claude who wanted me to find the killer. Later, a rogue vamp named Alejandro hit town and wanted to make me his human servant. A war of the undead had begun. Over me. I'd have been flattered, if my life weren't at stake. Speaking of life ... and death ... every animator worth her salt knows that the older the zombie, the bigger the death needed to raise it. After a few centuries, the only death "big enough" is a human sacrifice. Now, I'm no assassin -- sure I kill vampires -- and I don't do it for the money -- but I don't kill people. Like I said, working for Animators, Inc. is just a job, like selling insurance. But all the money in the world wasn't enough for me to take on the particular job Harold Gaynor was offering. Somebody else did, though -- an insane animator. And he wasn't just raising the dead ... he was raising Hell. And it was up to me to stop it ...
