Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new study of the novels of John Hawkes, author Lesley Marx has brought to light insights from the three novels Hawkes has published in the last ten years, as well as from his other works. According to Marx, all three of these new novels continue to attest to the fertility of Hawkes's imagination and the fine crafting of his prose. But at least two of the new works - Adventures in the Alaskan Skin Trade and Sweet William: A Memoir of Old Horse - also reveal an expansive and transformative vision that celebrates the shifting and fluid possibilities of authority, writing, storytelling, and gender.

Rumors swirl that the Chaos Crystal, the mysterious prism that brought the Immortals to the world, has been found. Cayal is determined to seize the gem. Among those who search for this long-lost object is Cayal's former lover, the very mortal Lady Arkady. She's been captured by Jaxyn, a Tide Lord who is decidedly against Cayal and is seeking the Crystal for his own nefarious schemes. Arkady escapes, and is off on her desperate search...for if the gem falls into the hands of the Immortals, what will become of humanity?

Download or read book Chaos in Chemistry and Biochemistry written by Richard J. Field and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True deterministic chaos is characterized by unpredictable, apparently random motion in a dynamical system completely described by a deterministic dynamic law, usually a nonlinear differential equation, with no stochastic component. The inability to predict future behavior of a chaotic system occurs because trajectories evolving from arbitrarily close initial conditions diverge. Chaos is universal as it may arise in any system governed by one of a class of quite common, suitable nonlinear dynamic laws. This book discusses both the experimental observation and theoretical interpretation of chaos in chemical and biochemical systems. Examples are drawn from the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, surface reactions, electrochemical reactions, enzyme reactions, and periodically perturbed oscillating systems.

Book excerpt: Stranded on the far side of the mountain range that divides Blastborn from the rest of the world, they are in the country of Vensay. As the progeny and relatives of exiles who were killed for unspeakable war crimes, Arabeth and her friends are soon targeted for death. The only thing keeping them alive is that the country seems to be falling apart, with power struggles and forces of nature keeping everyone distracted. Arabeth and her friends have their own problems. She wants to find the ones who sent the mind-altering automaton that set the people of Blastborn against each other. Sam discovers the real reason they seem to pass unchallenged - there is no unified military or police force, instead relying on a regional Sherriff system and the politics that go with it, and he feels compelled to interfere. Melanie is altered at the chemical level by a field of crystals and can’t wake up. Graham doesn't care about any of that - he has time-sensitive projects back home requiring his return and is willing to share the only secret protecting them in order to buy transportation out. And their one true ally is a teenager claiming to be the Heir Apparent and needing their help to unite the country. It'll be easy - they just have to put aside their individual goals and learn how to wield a forbidden power in a land that already wants them dead. Still, they have to ask - why stay when, if they unite, they are still the progeny of a banished people with unknown enemies and the hangman's gallows swings only one snitch away? The world has abandoned them – shouldn’t they do the same? Arabeth would like to help, but she may be on her own for this one. --------------- This is book 2 in the Arabeth Barnes series.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Materials Science written by Eric J. Mittemeijer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook offers a strong introduction to the fundamental concepts of materials science. It conveys the quintessence of this interdisciplinary field, distinguishing it from merely solid-state physics and solid-state chemistry, using metals as model systems to elucidate the relation between microstructure and materials properties. Mittemeijer's Fundamentals of Materials Science provides a consistent treatment of the subject matter with a special focus on the microstructure-property relationship. Richly illustrated and thoroughly referenced, it is the ideal adoption for an entire undergraduate, and even graduate, course of study in materials science and engineering. It delivers a solid background against which more specialized texts can be studied, covering the necessary breadth of key topics such as crystallography, structure defects, phase equilibria and transformations, diffusion and kinetics, and mechanical properties. The success of the first edition has led to this updated and extended second edition, featuring detailed discussion of electron microscopy, supermicroscopy and diffraction methods, an extended treatment of diffusion in solids, and a separate chapter on phase transformation kinetics. “In a lucid and masterly manner, the ways in which the microstructure can affect a host of basic phenomena in metals are described.... By consistently staying with the postulated topic of the microstructure - property relationship, this book occupies a singular position within the broad spectrum of comparable materials science literature .... it will also be of permanent value as a reference book for background refreshing, not least because of its unique annotated intermezzi; an ambitious, remarkable work.” G. Petzow in International Journal of Materials Research. “The biggest strength of the book is the discussion of the structure-property relationships, which the author has accomplished admirably.... In a nutshell, the book should not be looked at as a quick ‘cook book’ type text, but as a serious, critical treatise for some significant time to come.” G.S. Upadhyaya in Science of Sintering. “The role of lattice defects in deformation processes is clearly illustrated using excellent diagrams . Included are many footnotes, ‘Intermezzos’, ‘Epilogues’ and asides within the text from the author’s experience. This ..... soon becomes valued for the interesting insights into the subject and shows the human side of its history. Overall this book provides a refreshing treatment of this important subject and should prove a useful addition to the existing text books available to undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the field of materials science.” M. Davies in Materials World.
