Book Description

Zeolite scientists, whether they are working in synthesis, catalysis, characterization or application development, use the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types as a reference. It describes the main features of all of the confirmed zeolite framework structures, and gives references to the relevant primary structural literature. Since the last edition 34 more framwork types have been approved and are described in this new edition. A further new feature will be that characteristic building units will be listed for each of the framework types.
Zeolites and their analogs are used as desiccants, as water softeners, as shape-selective acid catalysts, as molecular sieves, as concentrators of radioactive isotopes, as blood clotting agents, and even as additives to animal feeds. Recently, their suitability as hosts for nanometer spacing of atomic clusters has also been demonstrated. These diverse applications are a reflection of the fascinating structures of these microporous materials. Each time a new zeolite framework structure is reported, it is examined by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association (IZA-SC), and if it is found to be unique and to conform to the IZA-SC's definition of a zeolite, it is assigned a 3-letter framework type code. This code is part of the official IUPAC nomenclature for microporous materials. The Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types is essentially a compilation of data for each of these confirmed framework types. These data include a stereo drawing showing the framework connectivity, features that characterize the idealized framework structure, a list of materials with this framework type, information on the type material that was used to establish the framework type, and stereo drawings of the pore openings of the type material.

* Clear stereo drawings of each of the framework types
* Description of the features of the framework type, allowing readers to quickly see if the framework type is suitable to their needs
* References to isotypic materials, readers can quickly identify related materials and consult the appropriate reference

Book Description

Based on a taught by the author at the University of Cambridge, this comprehensive text on turbulence and fluid dynamics is aimed at year 4 undergraduates and graduates in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, and provides an ideal reference for industry professionals and researchers. It bridges the gap between elementary accounts of turbulence found in undergraduate texts and more rigorous accounts given in monographs on the subject. Containing many examples, the author combines the maximum of physical insight with the minimum of mathematical detail where possible. The text is highly illustrated throughout, and includes colour plates; required mathematical techniques are covered in extensive appendices. The text is divided into three parts: Part I consists of a traditional introduction to the classical aspects of turbulence, the nature of turbulence, and the equations of fluid mechanics. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, presupposing only an elementary knowledge of fluid mechanics and statistics. Part II tackles the problem of homogeneous turbulence with a focus on describing the phenomena in real space. Part III covers certain special topics rarely discussed in introductory texts. Many geophysical and astrophysical flows are dominated by the effects of body forces, such as buoyancy, Coriolis and Lorentz forces. Moreover, certain large-scale flows are approximately two-dimensional and this has led to a concerted investigation of two-dimensional turbulence over the last few years. Both the influence of body forces and two-dimensional turbulence are discussed.

what a good book but poor choice in typesetting.......2006-09-21

a book covering many interesting topics and i believe a student of turbulence will be very well-equiped in the basics of modern understandings of turbulence after reading this book. but what a poor page layout. the fonts are small and the book undoubtedly is bulkier because so much space is wasted on the wide margins! i think i had read somewhere that these margins would make the book a good study tools. readers can write on them. what nonsense! they could have just used a conventional layout, save plenty of pages and reading it would be better for my eyes. i can write notes and work out the equations, etc, on some notepad i have. i think it worths minusing two stars for the layout. you can say i judge this book by its font size.

A good book for graduate students .......2006-03-11

This text is well-written and presents a lot of advanced material in relatively short order. However, the mathematics involved are quite advanced and the book is certainly intended only for people with some background in fluids - it is far from an "introductory" text!

Excellent Book.......2005-01-21

This book is really great! The complex things in turbulence are explained in that way I've never seen it before. There are a lot of great figures that are explaining a lot of things - for example, vorticity dynamics is followed with great pictures. Main topic of this book is physical aspect of turbulence, and that's great.

If you're dealing (better to say coping) with turbulence in some way, you should have this book - specially if you're a novice in this area.

Not for beginners?.......2003-10-22

I read this book first when preparing tutorials in fluid mechanics for 3rd-year chemical engineering students. Maybe there are other textbooks which give more detailed derivations (although I'd like to see them!), but Middleman's text is one of the extremely rare books where mathematical derivations are balanced with detailed accounts of the motivation behind it all. In fluid mechanics, it seems almost unique in this respect, and I found it a pleasure to read.

Crazy.......2003-10-13

I am a junior chemical engineer taking a class that is using this book. This book is awful. The examples are made to be over complicated, and the problems at the end of each chapter are vague, and full with clarity issues. I would not suggest this book to anyone, and i pity those who are subject to its fury.

Very hard book!.......2001-12-15

This book is very hard to understand. The author uses very complex mathematics, that most graduate and professors don't even understand. When coming up with the formula he skips steps that he assumes everyone knows how to do. This book would be ok for graduate students, but for an introduction to fluid dynamics it is a very difficult book. The book does have a lot of examples on different types of systems that will be useful if you ever use that kind of system. The book does have examples for a wide variety of engineers (ie bioengineers, mechanical, civil...). But overall this book was very difficult!!!

The Perfect Introductory Reference for any Bookshelf!.......1998-09-30

I have used this textbook at the Graduate level in pursuit of my M.Eng in Aerospace Engineering. It was a reference textbook for our "Finite Difference Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics" course. It was invaluable! It provides a clear, comprehensive review of the Fluid Dynamic Equations including an excellent discussion of their mathematical properties. This is followed by a detailed development of the Finite Difference Method as applied to the computational solution of fluid dynamic problems. Included are discretization techniques, transformations and grids, stability analysis, and boundary layer solutions. Finally, the Finite Element Method is introduced and developed in detail. Although not directly applicable to my course, the FEM discussion layed in the ground work for further study. This book really is the perfect reference for both the undergraduate and graduate level CFD course.

Book Description

Set partly in the United States, this novel includes a searing satire on mid-nineteenth-century America. Martin Chuzzlewit is the story of two Chuzzlewits, Martin and Jonas, who have inherited the characteristic Chuzzlewit selfishness. It contrasts their diverse fates: moral redemption and worldly success for one and increasingly desperate crime for the other. In her Introduction to this new edition, Patricia Ingham discusses how, in writing a story that was meant only to recommend "goodness and innocence," Dickens succeeded in exploring "the intertwining of moral sensibility and brutality."

Martin Chuzzlewit conquers greed, wins a fair maiden, visits America and wins the plaudits of this reviewer.......2006-11-03

Greed and selfishness abound in this long novel originally brought to the 1843-44 reading public through twenty monthly installments. The book did not sell well and is today little known except to Dickens fans. It is well worth a perusal as it:
1. Exhibits a fascinating cast of characters from the alcohoic nurse Mrs Gamp and her imaginary friend Mrs Harris to the unforgettable Mr. Seth Pecksniff whose hypocritical lifestyle is a gem of descriptive satire by the master Dickens. Pecksniff is an architect seeking to wed his two daughters to rich folks, claim credit for other people' work and cast aside from his office such worthy young gentlemen as Martin Chuzzlewit, John Westlock and the timorous Tom Pinch. Tom and his Ruth are a beautiful example of sibling love and kindness to others in need.
The book is also an excellent mystery as the evil Jonas Chuzzlewit plots the death of his rich old father; murders a business associate and is finally arrested. Jonas commits suicide by poison orignally intended for his father.
All's well that ends well is this long serialized work. The section on Martin and his friend Mark Tapley's trip to the USA was inserted by Dickens to raise sluggish sale figures for the monthly installments of the work. Dickens had a keen eye for Yankee foibles from spitting to politics to making a quick buck. Martin and Mark end their journey in the swampy regions of the town of Eden. Only the help of Mr. Bevan a kind American allows them to return to England. Dickens had been disillusioned by the republic of his American cousins in his 1841 tour of the states. He briefly mentions slavery in America and his view is negative. It should also be noted that Dickens found much to find fault with and criticize about his native land of England.
This is not the first Dickens novel to begin with for there are parts (especially in the first installments) that drag as we learn about old Martin Chuzzlewit's ancestors and his disowning of his grandson Martin the hero of the novel. They will later reconcile in the exciting finish of this racing coach of genius across the broad sweep of the Victorian town and country landscape.
Charles Dickens was a genius whose words deserve to be read as long as the English language is spoken, celebrated and honored on this globe.
Great book!

4 and a half stars is more how I would rate it..........2006-02-20

because I really think that this is a great work, with only a few minor flaws. I admit that for the first 300 pages or so that I was somewhat unimpressed- it seemed like Dickens wasn't presenting anything different from his other works, but, as someone else mentioned, the pace really picked up the farther I got into it. I ended up spending much of the weekend reading just because I couldn't wait to find out how it ended! The only thing I would say was an issue was the sentimentality that showed up in characters like Tom Pinch and Mary Graham. As others have said, I wouldn't recommend this for one's first Dickens, but it is still a wonderful and enthralling read.

Great Cathartic Read for problems with $ and Family.......2004-06-16

Martin Chuzzlewit the elder is dying and all the family has designs on gaining their inheritance. His grandson seems the odds on favorite but young Martin, the grandson has fallen madly in love with the elder Martin's altruistic nurse, Mary Graham. Why the elder Martin finds this terrifying is puzzling. Does he really think Mary's interest in Martin the younger will compromise the quality of her job? Oh, oh...I've done it, I've caught Dickens capturing the foibles of humanity again!!!
These characters sometimes make me scream. I'd like to be face to face with them, vigourously attempting to argue them out of their other-destructive behavior...Of course it would be totally useless as far as they're concerned, but hopefully cathartic for me.
The PBS video is 6 hours long and it is the way I became familiar with this story. After viewing the video I plan to grab the book to see just what did happen to young Martin in America. From all indications, Dickens appears to offer a marked contrast to his near contemporary Alexis deTocqueville's. Where Tocqueville sees free association and high community spirit in his Democracy in America, Dickens saw flim-flam and greed everywhere. -Evidently, the trip over the Atlantic to `seek his fortune was symbolic here of exposing young Martin to the ills of selfishness by extreme overexposure. Other reviewers have commented on Pecksniff , Mrs. Gump, Jonas Chuzzlewit and Tom Pinch. Oh there are Dickensian characters in this book. The rivalry between Mercy and Charity Pecksniff results in this case, in alarming tragedies of self-centeredness. Then if you cna shift gears, if you can believe in a humorous wheeler dealer, keep your eye on Montigue Tigg (Tigg Montigue) He is every bit the operator vis a vis Mr. Merdle of Dicken's Little Dorritt. Rest assured, as Dickens torments the reader with the trials of his characters, this is one of those tales where just desserts are served in the end.

Good, but not Dickens' best.......2003-12-30

If you like Dickens, Martin Chuzzlewit is definitely worth the read. Like virtually everything he wrote, this novel is engaging, emotional, and intensely human. It follows a pattern that is bound to seem familiar to those acquainted with Dickens, and has a very Dickensian happy ending; but then, that is what we love about Dickens. There is still something to be said for virtue, and it satisfies our sense of justice when it wins out in the end. That isn't a very modern sentiment, but it is an undeniably good one. This isn't the first book I would recommend for someone wanting to pick up a little Dickens (Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist would probably all come first), but this is worth the read. I give it four stars only because I think it is second-tier Dickens; but second-tier Dickens is still first-rate.

Dickens best work, especially the character Mark Tappley..........2003-05-06

Mark Tappley, who is always 'jolly', and the worse the situation, the better opportunity he sees for himself to "come out strong"; is my favorite character in my favorite Charles Dickens novel, "Martin Chuzzlewhit": (here Jonas Chuzzlewhit rides in a carriage with the man he is destined to murder within a few days...)

The thunder rolled, the lightning flashed; the rain poured down like Heaven's wrath. Surrounded at one moment by intolerable light, and at the next by pitchy darkness, they still pressed forward on their journey. Even when they arrived at the end of the stage, and might have tarried, they did not; but ordered horses out immediately. Nor had this any reference to some five minutes' lull, which at that time seemed to promise a cessation of the storm. They held their course as if they were impelled and driven by its fury. Although they had not exchanged a dozen words, and might have tarried very well, they seemed to feel, by joint consent, that onward they must go.

Louder and louder the deep thunder rolled, as through the myriad halls of some vast temple in the sky; fiercer and brighter became the lightning, more and more heavily the rain poured down. The horses (they were travelling now with a single pair) plunged and started from the rills of quivering fire that seemed to wind along the ground before them; but there these two men sat, and forward they went as if they were led on by an invisible attraction.

The eye, partaking of the quickness of the flashing light, saw in its every gleam a multitude of objects which it could not see at steady noon in fifty times that period. Bells in steeples, with the rope and wheel that moved them; ragged nests of birds in cornices and nooks; faces full of consternation in the tilted waggons that came tearing past: their frightened teams ringing out a warning which the thunder drowned; harrows and ploughs left out in fields; miles upon miles of hedge-divided country, with the distant fringe of trees as obvious as the scarecrow in the beanfield close at hand; in a trembling, vivid, flickering instant, everything was clear and plain: then came a flush of red into the yellow light; a change to blue; a brightness so intense that there was nothing else but light; and then the deepest and profoundest darkness.

The lightning being very crooked and very dazzling may have presented or assisted a curious optical illusion, which suddenly rose before the startled eyes of Montague in the carriage, and as rapidly disappeared. He thought he saw Jonas with his hand lifted, and the bottle clenched in it like a hammer, making as if he would aim a blow at his head. At the same time he observed (or so believed) an expression in his face: a combination of the unnatural excitement he had shown all day, with a wild hatred and fear: which might have rendered a wolf a less terrible companion.

He uttered an involuntary exclamation, and called to the driver, who brought his horses to a stop with all speed.

It could hardly have been as he supposed, for although he had not taken his eyes off his companion, and had not seen him move, he sat reclining in his corner as before.

`What's the matter?' said Jonas. `Is that your general way of waking out of your sleep?'

`I could swear,' returned the other, `that I have not closed my eyes!'

`When you have sworn it,' said Jonas, composedly, `we had better go on again, if you have only stopped for that.'

He uncorked the bottle with the help of his teeth; and putting it to his lips, took a long draught."

This most wide-ranging of Dickens' books is also famous for it's criticisms of American culture in the 19th century, or the lack thereof, as well as the lack of ethics, personal hygeine, table manners, modesty, and of any ability to accept criticisms of that nature. People get very hostile toward good authors, and spitting tobacco juice on every available object, animate or inanimate, was apparently considered an important freedom guaranteed by the Constitution...

P.S. Charles Dickens was surely one of the greatest writers of horror, though he's unrecognized as such. I can't wait to start reading "Our Mutual Friend"... which opens with a father and daughter scavenging for corpses on the Thames.

Book Description

If Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-1844) is, as Steven Marcus has claimed, the first novel of Dickens' maturity, it is also true, as Robert E. Lougy has observed, that it is "a novel to which readers and critics do not quite know how to respond." By examining the overlapping contexts within which Dickens composed this work, The Companion to Martin Chuzzlewit makes original contributions to our understanding of the novel and its complex reception. The notes revise and expand the conventional wisdom regarding the sources for the American chapters, demonstrating that Dickens drew on a much wider field of writings about America than we have traditionally acknowledged. A more complete context provides insight into Dickens' composing process, allows us to read more accurately the ideological ground on which he constructed his view of America, and sheds light in the plot anomalies surrounding young Martin's emigration. By reading Martin Chuzzlewit in the light of contemporary professional journals, the notes expose in a more finely nuanced way the contemporary issues that underlay Dickens' portrayal of Pecksniff, young Martin, and the architectural scene. They show Dickens working within a set of concerns and controversies well known to his audience. Finally, the notes point to previously unidentified influences on the plot and characters of Martin Chuzzlewit and to the impact of Dickens' thinking on a wide range of texts, from the Bridgewater Treaties to the Bible, from popular songs and newspaper advertisements to medical treatises and parliamentary reports. An invaluable research and reference tool for Dickens scholars, students, and readers alike.
