Textbook
From Atoms to Galaxies A Conceptual Approach to Scientific Awareness Sadri Dean Hassani
University of Surrey, UK
Illinois State University, Normal, USA
With two remarkable ideas Albert Einstein revolutionized our view of the universe. First, nothing can travel faster than light and second, spacetime is warped and stretched by the gravity. Despite these contributions, he could not have envisioned the twisting of spacetime: time-travel. Theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili finally lays science fiction to rest as he opens up Einstein’s universe. Leading us gently and light-heartedly through the dizzying world of space and time, he gives us the recipe for a time machine, capable of taking us Back to the Future, to Alice’s Wonderland, or on a trip with the Terminator.
Based on a course given by the author, this text demonstrates physical concepts through everyday experiences. Students learn not just how science works, but also how to counter popular misconceptions and pseudoscience. Adhering to a strict conceptual approach, the text presents glossaries, review questions and answers, exercises, numerical problems, and quizzes. Noncalculus mathematical sections can be found on the accompanying CD-ROM. The CD also contains an introduction to a website for qualifying instructors. Ancillary materials include lecture notes, slides, demonstrations, and movies, along with a solutions manual for qualifying instructors.

The physical-chemical properties of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA enable it to facilitate biochemical processes in the membrane. This effect has numerous benefits, yet DHA also carries risks that can lead to cellular death and disease. This volume explores the roles of omega-3 fatty acids in cellular membranes and develops a principle by which to assess their benefits and risks. Reflecting the increased public interest that has emerged over the years, the book uses an integrative approach to explain the complex roles of omega-3s in the membrane. Incorporating principles from numerous disciplines, it gives researchers in a variety of fields the building blocks to stimulate further study.
Exhibiting peculiar bonding and reactivity patterns, metal clusters are found in many areas, including air pollution, interstellar matter, photography, quantum dots, and virus crystals. Similarly, the distinct stability of aromatic compounds makes them important in industry and biochemistry. However, there is neither an experiment or a formula to calculate aromaticity effectively. Highlighting various indirect characteristics used for analysis involving geometrical, electronic, magnetic, thermodynamic, and reactivity considerations, this book investigates the nature of aromaticity as well as the antiaromaticity of metal clusters.

Designed especially for students from non-physics and non-chemistry backgrounds, this book covers elementary statistical mechanics and the thermodynamics necessary to understand fundamental biophysical phenomena. Maintaining a probabilistic view throughout, it presents more than one interpretation of every phenomenon. For example, on- and off-rates are carefully explained in the context of binding affinities and connected back with a microscopic statistical picture as well as with the standard thermodynamic description. The author explicitly explains the theory behind interpreting the physics and statistics of many experiments.
Although chemical thermodynamics is perceived by many to be a difficult topic, this text presents the subject with practical chemical examples using little mathematics. It includes discussions of experimental equilibrium data, an introduction to electrochemistry, a brief survey of Ellingham diagrams, and a treatment of entropy without reference to the Carnot cycle. This edition includes a new chapter on computer-based methods in thermodynamics, revised thermodynamic data to ensure that the symbols and units reflect the latest IUPAC rules, and updated problems and examples to reflect current understanding and concerns.

Glass is increasingly being used as a structural material in new buildings and the building envelope may consist entirely of glass, or a building may be clad with glass. This trend for steel-framed, glass-clad buildings instead of traditional materials, such as brick and concrete, has inherent problems.

Solidification J.A. Dantzig
Tribology of Interface Layers Hooshang Heshmat Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc., Albany, New York, USA
Many tribological devices act as viable bearings in contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly, powder films possess quasihydrodynamic features that allow them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers. This text illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, the book shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes. Catalog no.

This volume presents a broad account of CNTs and the tools used to study them. It introduces the basic characteristics and history of CNTs, followed by discussions on synthesis methods and the growth of “peapod” structures. Coverage then moves to electronic properties and band structures of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs), magnetic properties, Raman spectroscopy of electronic and chemical behavior, and electromechanical properties and applications in NEMS. Turning to applications, the final sections of the book explore mechanical properties of SWNTs spun into fibers, sidewall functionalization in composites, and the practice of using SWNTs as tips for scanning probe microscopes.
Mechanochemical processing is a novel and cost-effective method of producing a wide range of nanopowders. It involves the use of conventional high energy ball mill to initiate chemical reactions and structural changes. The resulting nanopowders are then used in the production of ceramic and metallic components using sintering and other powder metallurgy techniques to produce net shape components. Without using mechanochemical processing, production of the precursor nanopowders would require significant energy inputs. This book focuses on this revolutionizing technique for the manufacture of many advanced materials.

Environmental Science and Engineering
It’s no coincidence that many of the issues in today’s headlines read like a list of CRC new releases… from five or even ten years ago. Just as it’s never been a coincidence that the fields of inquiry our authors pursue today often bear the greatest fruit tomorrow. Whether its advancing agriculture yield, improving infrastructure, developing clean and green alternatives, retrofitting industry, reorganizing healthcare, securing our homeland, streamlining public administration, or defining just who we are and where we are going, CRC has the resources and references to turn students into professionals and leaders, researchers into innovators and pioneers. In the classroom, in the laboratory, and out in the field, wherever challenges are being met by research, ingenuity, and determination, you will find those who create and rely on the authoritative content that is the power of CRC Press.
