Handbook for Critical Cleaning Review

In my opinion, it's not just the BEST book on critical cleaning, it's the ONLY objective, scientific book on critical cleaning, emphasizing studies, testing and data. Also includes anecdotal information with proper discussion and evaluation, putting one of its feet in the "Handbook" category. In the spacecraft technologies area, Tribble's book "Fundamental's of Contamination Control," is receiving increased attention because it, too, is the ONLY book out there in the field. But while Tribble discusses terminologies, definitions and contamination effects, it really says little about contamination CONTROL...meaning the cleaning, protection and maintenance of critical products. You spacecraft contamination control engineers know what I'm talking about. "Clean with isopropyl alcohol and bag with approved film." That's all we have in this "Green" era. The Kanegsberg's book will take you well beyond that. If Tribble is on your desk, Kanegsberg should be right there next to it.

With all the cleaning approaches available, how do you choose which one is best for your needs? Components manufacturers wonder which will provide a competitive edge. Chemists and engineers worry about the effect of any process modification on a critical component or on the stability of an irreplaceable antique. There is no silver bullet, no magic drop-in solution. The best approach is application specific and often location specific. Handbook for Critical Cleaning provides the tools you need to select the best approach in a rapidly changing world. Rigorous in its treatment of technical issues, broad in scope, and clearly written, the book includes cleaning agent options, cleaning systems/chemical and equipment integration, contamination control, cleanliness standards, analytical testing, process selection, implementation, and maintenance, specific applications areas, and regulatory considerations and outlook.Cleaning, which was once a simple decision among a few cleaning agents and types of equipment, is now recognized as a major factor in process control and product improvement. Choosing the best process involves an understanding of chemistry, engineering, safety and regulatory requirements, as well as a realistic assessment of the strengths and limitations of the local workforce. Handbook for Critical Cleaning shows you not only what processes are available and how to evaluate them, but how to customize cleaning procedures to meet your needs.

A Whole-Body Approach to Slowing Down Aging: Helping You Live Healthier and Longer Review

A Whole-Body Approach to Slowing Down Aging: Helping You Live Healthier and Longer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I actually bought this for my parents as I thought it would be a good read for them as they are getting a little long in years, but I found it to be an extremely fascinating read and ended up purchasing another copy for myself to read on my Kindle! The book takes a very scientific approach to analyzing the needs and processes of the human body and attempts to explain why we age the way we do. I'll admit a lot of it was above me at first but the book does a good job of explaining things in ways so people can understand even if you're not a scientist. The information is bountiful and comes at you in waves, which is part of what I found made it such an interesting read for me. I found my mind racing to keep up and to grasp an understanding of the topics and science of what he was covering.
Though primarily aimed at boomers, I found the information to be particularly helpful to anyone really and the book to be a very satisfying experience.

Mr. Wallace has written a good guide for people not related to this theme. He first explain the basics in order to continue with the chapters about Earth Magnetism facts and studies.
It is interesting to know how scientist has determined that the poles have reversed and that this will happen again sooner or later. I also enjoyed the facts about the position of the geomagnetic poles and how it is produced.

An introductory guide to global magnetic field properties, Earth Magnetism addresses, in non-technical prose, many of the frequently asked questions about Earth's magnetic field. Magnetism surrounds and penetrates our Earth in ways basic science courses can rarely address. It affects navigation, communication, and even the growth of crystals. As we observe and experience an 11-year solar maximum, we may witness spectacular satellite-destroying solar storms as they interact with our magnetic field. Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, this book will enrich courses in earth science, atmospheric science, geology, meteorology, geomagnetism, and geophysics. Contains nearly 200 original illustrations and eight pages of full-color plates.* Largely mathematics-free and with a wide breadth of material suitable for general readers* Integrates material from geomagnetism, paleomagnetism, and solar-terrestrial space physics.* Features nearly 200 original illustrations and 4 pages of colour plates

I have been making home-made diets for my dogs for years and have several books on nutrition but this book is the one I always reach for first! It is easy to understand yet has lots of detailed information on nutrient requirements and recipes, along with chapters on diets for medical conditions and nutritional supplementation for diseases.
My copy is dogeared and highlighted and has lots of scraps of paper sticking out of the pages. It will take you a long time to out-grow this book.

"In recent years most books about our environment have been dismal. Advertisers have struggled with their reputation of deviously twisting public perspectives. How refreshing it is to read about ecological, honest marketing! As an environmental fashion consultant, I consider myself knowledgeable in materials and derivative uses. Yet I learned from this book about utilizing milkweed for pillows and how natural scrap fabrics can be applied as garden mulch. I'm hoping for a third edition." -Delia Montgomery, Chíc Eco Directory Author

New Worlds: An Anthology Review

New Worlds: An Anthology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The above review isn't for this recently published anthology, but for one of the David Garnett edited New Worlds anthologies done through the 1990s.
This new US anthology is a representational collection of stories and features drawn from the magazine New Worlds which flourished from 1965 and saw its last issue in 1995. It was closely associated with a development of sf which became known as the UK 'New Wave' movement and nowadays is probably best known as 'slipstream'. The British movement was a conscious break with modernism and attempted to find a literary form which reconnected with the general reading public as well as to develop new conventions which, as far as the writers were concerned, better described their contemporary experience.

From its beginnings as a fanzine before World War II, New Worlds struck out on a different path. In the postwar years, under the editorial direction of Michael Moorcock, the magazine published more award-winning stories than any other science fiction publication; it achieved a unique cross-fertilization between sci-fi and mainstream literature and became the vanguard of the "New Wave" writing that stood sci-fi on its head in the 1960s. It was banned, it received grants, and it became the subject of debate in the Houses of Parliament. Moorcock introduced a broad readership to writers whose names would endure, such as Samuel Delany, M. John Harrison, J. G. Ballard, D. M. Thomas, Harlan Ellison, Brian Aldiss, Fritz Leiber, John Brunner, Norman Spinrad and many others.
