New York: John Wiley and Sons, 1989. Book. Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. xvi, 237pp., index, notes, figures. A few sporadic pencil marks; spine panel of jacket sunned.., John Wiley and Sons, 1989, 2.5, Paperback / softback. New. Most communication research and most applications of that research acknowledge the process nature of communication. However, the material following that acknowledgment confirms to traditional linear and static approaches treating communication as little more than printed text. This Print Paradigm persists despite repeated calls to explore the more dynamic nature of communication. In this second edition, the author updates and expands his argument that communication is a process analogous to the complexity in other living systems. Complexity theory models biological principles similar to how chaos theory treats chemical and physical processes. The book begins with a review of philosophical and social psychological thought as a basis for explaining the mathematical and natural science models. The volume reviews a remarkable range of material stretching over three centuries. The author explains complicated concepts in a simple and often whimsical way and uses practical as well as research examples to bring technical ideas to a wide audience. The author develops paradigmatic principles and then describes the process of information and a model of communication as a socially emergent process. The early chapters are a foundation for disputing current thinking across a range of topics such as communication and self, stories and storytelling, communication and trust, and conflict. The author concludes by sketching theoretical, methodological, practical, and ethical challenges. The volume is as dynamic and intricate as the complexity of human communication., 6, ISBN: "9780521880060Cambridge University Press ,02 February 2009Hardcover 684 pagesThis textbook provides a basic understanding of the formative processes of igneous and metamorphic rock through quantitative applications of simple physical and chemical principles. The book encourages a deeper comprehension of the subject by explaining the petrologic principles rather than simply presenting the student with petrologic facts and terminology. Assuming knowledge of only introductory college-level courses in physics, chemistry, and calculus, it lucidly outlines mathematical derivations fully and at an elementary level, and is ideal for intermediate and advanced courses in igneous and metamorphic petrology. The end-of-chapter quantitative problem sets facilitate student learning by working through simple applications. They also introduce several widely-used thermodynamic software programs for calculating igneous and metamorphic phase equilibria and image analysis software. With over 350 illustrations, this revised edition contains valuable new material on the structure of the Earth's mantle and core, the properties and behavior of magmas, recent results from satellite imaging, and more.Editorial ReviewsReview "This is a book to read and a book to keep as a reference. It is a must-have for every student of tectonics." Michael L. Williams, EOS"... a volume which will likely be well thumbed and littered with 'stickies' and other place markers by students and professors alike ... a 'must-have' for any self-respecting petrologist ..." Elements"The scope of the subject is an enormous challenge for a single author, so I eagerly anticipated the second edition that included Jay Ague as coauthor to complement Philpotts' expertise in igneous petrology. My high expectations were not disappointed. There is a good index, an up-to-date and extensive reference section (27 pages) ... Thoughtful, substantive problems at the end of each chapter have solutions that are often integrated with the main text. ... This might seem to add up to just another petrology text that is an incremental improvement over its predecessors. In fact, it is an exceptional advance. ... I will choose the second edition of Philpotts and Ague's Principles of Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology because of its forward looking coverage of transport theory." John M. Ferry, American Journal of Science"It emphasises principles rather than facts. The end-of-chapter problems for students are excellent." Tim Lutz, University of Pennsylvania"I am very pleased to see the quality of this text. It will definitely be the best undergraduate petrology text when it appears on the shelf. You have a winner." C. Page Chamberlain, Dartmouth College"The presentation is clear and concise, the illustrations extremely useful ... Of great utility are the problems at the end of each chapter ... This is a fantastic book." Steven R. Bohlen, President of Joint Oceanographic Institutions"...unquestionably the best petrology work available. ... Highly recommended." CHOICEBook Description A textbook providing a quantitative approach to the petrologic principles of igneous and metamorphic rocks in a new edition.About the Author Anthony Philpotts is a visiting fellow at Yale University and an adjunct professor at the University of Massachusetts, and has had over 40 years of teaching experience. He has worked on Precambrian massif type anorthosites, pseudotachylites, alkaline rocks, liquid immiscibility in FeTi oxide systems and in tholeiitic magmas. He has been awarded the Peacock Memorial Prize of the Walker Mineralogical Club of Toronto and the Hawley Award of the Mineralogical Association of Canada. He has served as an editor for the Canadian Mineralogist and the Journal of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.Jay Ague is a Professor at Yale University and has been teaching for 20 years. He studies fluid flow, chemical reactions, mass transfer, and heat transfer in Earth's crust, focusing on the metamorphic and igneous rocks comprising the deep roots of mountain belts. He has been the Senior Editor of the American Journal of Science from 1998 to 2008, and has served on the editorial board of the journal Geology. He is also Curator of Mineralogy at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History., 0, New York: John Wiley & Sons, 2006. 2nd Edition. Paperback. Good/No Dust Jacket. 11.00 x 8.50 x 1.20 inches.

Chemical engineering design is in a constant state of flux. From advances in the practice of separation operations in chemical engineering to corresponding changes in the curriculum, much has happened in the seven years since the publication of Seader and Henley's first edition of Separation Process Principles, including: (1) advances in the fundamentals of mass, heat, and momentum transport, (2) wide availability of computer programs to facilitate the application of mathematical models to a wide range of separation operations, (3) increasing interest in separations involving the solid phase, and (4) changes in the practice of chemical engineering to emphasize product design as well as process design. This second edition reflects these changes., John Wiley & Sons, 2006, 7, Association of Official Analytical Chemists, 1980. Good condition Softcover Quarto, 1980, 1st edition, 160 pages.
