The book explains profoundly the basis elements of thermodynamics and can use as a good starting point to a lot of research subjects.

This book focuses on Stefan problem which arises in many areas of physics. It deals both classical and weak stefan problem and also the relations between stefan problem and phase field equation. It covers from physical viewpoint to mathematical viewpoint. This self-contained book is recommended for math. graduate students who pursue this area.

Even though over 20 years old, this text remains the standard in the field of SEC. The introductory chapters on retention, band broadening, and resolution not only are a must read but will be returned to many times. The sections on instrumentation, detectors, columns, and data handling are still useful, but are dated. This book could greatly benefit from a second edition, to include updated detection and column methodologies, as well as hyphenated techniques. As such, because it is not a cheap book, it is probably not the ideal textbook. However, academics, industrial practitioners, and anyone who is seeking either basic or advanced SEC info will probably find what they need here. It should also be mentioned that the treatment of solution thermodynamics (i.e., the combined effects of solvent and temperature on dissolution and dilute solution properties) is above average for an SEC text. For a 20+ year old book, the treatment of the subject matter has held up extremely well.

Although you wouldn't know it to read the title, which is a job on its own, I admit, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in the percolation sciences. And what's more, the authors bring a lively sense of humor to the subject that is rare among Soviet authors.

From what appears to be a first effort, this is an interesting chronology. A mix of poetry, spoken word & autobiography, Pala is aesthetically pleasing in concept and execution. The dedication picture of Muhammad Ali was a pleasant surprise and the illustrations and cover pics are great!

This book really tells you all there is to know about petroleum liquids. A fantastic book. Highly recommended.

I am a gradute student in the Analytical Chemistry division at University of Maryland, College Park.

HPLC detection is an important aspect, and I think this book is short and sweet.

Thanks.

All photografers professionel/not professionals that want to know what they are dialing with, can get very far with this book if you want to experimentate with cemicals - AND save money. I'm Danish (Sorry my English)

Generations of engineers, and not a few chemists and physicists either, have depended on this book as the standard reference for the properties of water.

This is the 1969 edition, and there is no more recent edition. Which should give you some idea of how definitively the authors described their subject.

Perhaps the only suggestion for improvement is for a CD version that has the tables in some XML format that can be easily integrated into a computer program. Notice that this is different from other books which might have a CD version that duplicates the contents of the hardcopy. There, the CD's main advantage might be the ability to have a comprehensive all-word index. Here, where most of the book are tables of numbers, that need is not really relevant. Instead, where there are tables, the best use of CD would be to hold XML formatted tables.

Berger gives a good introduction to ultrasonic atomization, a relatively new topic of interest in the scientific community. It is well written and understandable in addition to having in depth technical information. If you are lookng for more information about ultrasonic atomization than is commonly found in journal articles, this is a pretty good book.
