Book Description

The development and implementation of flotation technology during this century has been significant in the effective utilization of our mineral resources. The ability to selectively separate fine and coarse particles by flotation is the heart of most mineral processing operations. In the US alone, more than 2 million tons per day of material are processed by flotation. Important advances continue to be made in flotation technology, from the detailed study of interfacial chemistry to the design and construction of column and 100-m3 flotation cells. These contributions, dealing with fundamentals, equipment design and development, and instrumentation and control, have impacted all mineral commodities, sulfides and precious metals, nonsulfide minerals, and coal cleaning.

Book Description

To stay profitable while complying with environmental regulations requires that the coal industry not only improve fine coal recovery but also finds better ways for its utilization. This is the first monograph on the processing of fine coal which recognizes that all unit operations that handle fine coal depend on coal surface properties, and which in one single volume provides a comprehensive introduction to coal surface chemistry, using it rigorously in treating coal flotation fundamentals and engineering, fine coal manipulation, pelletization and briquetting, and coal-water slurries.

Book Description

Practically all mined ores of non-ferrous and rate metals and an increasing share of industrial minerals and coal are processed through flotation. This book presents the analysis of a wide range of problems in the process theory of flotation columns, including the first published analysis of models of flotation froths. The experience of pilot tests and commercial applications of column flotation for mineral processing and in waste water treatment circuits are also considered. This is the first book to consider column flotation design and operation experience and to present data on column parameters.

Super Reader.......2007-08-26

They realise they have a bit of a problem with the Maugrim character. The enemy is from outside their reality, so is just may not be possible to kill him.

Lancelot and Arthur have monsters to fight, and Arthur has to make a stand against his on this world's version of Camlann. Diarmuid steps in for Arthur and sacrifices himself.

Darien comes up with a sneaky trick to get rid of Maugrim.

Some of the people from Earth stay, some go home.

Solid finish.......2007-06-07

Finishes off the series relatively well, but the arthurian legend pieces could have been eliminated

Appreciation of a great tale.......2006-04-18

This book while not as satisfying as the promise in the first two, is still an excellent story.Kay is gifted and his use of celtic and other legends to further his work is excellent!
I originally purchased the first volume of The Fionavar Tapestry in the early '90's, and eagerly awaited the following volumes. I am a heavy reader, 2-6 books per week, and this is one of the few tales that brought tears to my eyes in the last 50 or more years of reading. The man IS a storyteller and this tale is captvating!
I have been slightly disappointed in his other books, and I believe that he can do better. The Light of the Sun is slightly better than most of the others
In closing, I have read The Fionavar Tapestry at least 7 times in the time I have owned it and recommend it highly to others. Its a great story and is presented well.

A Tolkien Re-write.......2006-03-07

I have mixed feelings about this book (and the entire trilogy). I've re-read it a few times over the years, and once I start re-reading, it's definitely quite addictive.

This doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws though, the most major one being that the entire series seems to be a modernised, 'how-I-would-have-written-the-LOTR-if-I-were-Tolkien'. Indeed, if you read the entire series with that as the caveat, it is quite an entertaining one.

The Darkest Road itself has quite a few weak points, the Arthurian thread being my major pet peeve. I found it extremely irritating with how Kay tells - not shows - over and over and *over* how terribly tragic the whole thing is - I get it already! I love the Arthurian myth cycle, and have read a good deal of material from there, and Kay doesn't even begin to do it justice. In effect all he has done is lift the names.

There are three moments in this book that stand out with crystal clarity for me though - I'd say these three are the ones that make the book worth reading. So, one star each. ;)

(Warning: spoilers.)

1) Diarmuid's last battle with the urgach Uathach. This one was beautifully done - with Kay having the courage to kill off a very engaging, major character in a memorable, meaningful way.

It's a pity he seems to lose his nerve for doing such things in his later works - in the Lions of Al-Rassan, there's no contest really. It's so much more obvious that Ibn Khairan is going to live. Which on the one hand is great, because I found him much more engaging than Belmont... but on the other hand...

2) Kimberly's refusal to bind the crystal dragon - and the cost of that choice at the final battle.

Although here I have reservations because I find it hard to swallow that one tiny unicorn with an even smaller rider, blessed by a goddess or not, can take down a dragon. And Tabor doesn't even die.

3) The Lios Alfar as bait for Rakoth at the final battle.

This one was a brilliant stroke for me - I never could buy that Sauron would bother with an army of 7,000 at his gate, led by Isildur's heir or not, and a chance of the Ring.

Using the Lios as bait though, and counting on Rakoth's hatred of them to make him unable to restrain himself given the opportunity to wipe them out entirely... that rings far more true with me than Tolkien's, 'Oh look, my great grand-grand-grand-ad-infinitum-daddy cut off your finger a millennia ago, won't you come get me now, nyah!' approach.

All in all, if you've read the other 2 books and liked them, then read this one. It's not one of the books I'd recommend as superb fantasy, but it's definitely entertaining, especially if you found yourself unsatisfied with how Tolkien handled some things...

Annoying Characters.......2006-01-22

I wasn't impressed with any of the books in this trilogy but the third had to be the worst. Over flowery prose, whole sections that didn't serve any purpose, and over used cliches. The whole Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere thread was unbearable. While Jennifer as Guinevere can be somewhat excused because she is very young Arthur and Lancelot are adults. Get OVER IT ALREADY and move on. Of course Kay also changes the concept of what a dwarf is. Most other mythologies have dwarf women just as likely to go into battle and have beards as the males. However in this novel they are stripped of any fighting power. Just like all the other female characters in these novels.

Book Description

Arguably no other author has inspired more musicians than has Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Here, for the first time, is a book documenting the music inspired by the works of this literary genius, with insights provided by the artists. The book features a foreword by H. P. Lovecraft expert S. T. Joshi and cover artwork by Joseph Vargo.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent for Lovecraft or music lovers alike.......2006-10-28

The Strange Sound of Cthulhu starts with an introduction to Lovecraft's life. This provides good background for readers who are there for the musical aspect and unfamiliar with his writing. It is strait-forward, giving just the information needed to understand how he could still have an impact on music today, almost seventy years after his death.

The rest of the book is broken down into the musical genres he inspired. From psychedelic rock to country, groups little heard of all the way to big names, such as Black Sabbath and Metallica, have attributed some of their inspiration to Lovecraft.

Hill analyzes the songs--and even group names--that have roots in the literature of Lovecraft. The book compares lyrics with Lovecraft prose, and touches on music rumored to have Lovecraft ties. He gives details of each song, and in many cases, interviews with the artists behind the music. They discuss how their music ties in with Lovecraft, how they were introduced to his writing, and even their favorite Lovecraft tale.

Though the idea of seeing the music described in words may sound dull to some, Joshi was correct in the forward when he said, "Gary has that rarest of skills among music critics: the ability to describe a song, whether vocal or instrumental, in such a way that readers seem to hear it running through their heads."

Though Hill claims that the book is in no way exhaustive on the subject, it is as close to being exhaustive as it can get. It is designed to snare the readers that are there for the music to start reading Lovecraft, and the readers there for Lovecraft to look out for the music. I found myself getting out my old music to listen for what Hill describes.
