Solid textbook.......2006-02-25

This is a solid thermo textbook. Goes over concepts and theories fairly well. There are plenty of worked out examples throughout the chapters and appendixes so you know what you're doing. The authors explain everything in a clear and cohesive manner. Somethings are overwhelming, but it is thermodynamics. Plenty of appendixes for steam tables, interroplation, unit conversions, and virial equation constants, etc.

I suggest you get the Schaum's outline as a good reference too.

False advertisement.......2005-10-04

I received the book, but not what I was expecting. The book was advertised as a hardback, but the book received was paperback. The book was an international edition, and not for resale in North America.

a supplemental resource.......2007-02-18

This set of 2 books has an enormous amount of photographs. In fact, what is meant by an Illustrated Encyclopedia is that it is composed solely of photographs. There is no text other than the captions. Photograph quality is generally good, although some are of juvenille specimens and don't show mature form. It is also clear that culture plays a large part in the mature form in many cases, and it would be nice to show various specimens rather than just one. Still, this is an essential resource to have in your library if you want to know about garden conifers. You'll just need additional resources as well.

Nothing compares.......2001-12-17

I own and operate a nursery using both of these books as a primary resource when purchasing conifers from growers. When customers refer to these books at our library, they comment on how beautiful the many conifers are available. My only wish the book had w/b zone hardiness and growth habit. Buy it.

Conifers : The Illustrated Encyclopedia (Two Volume Set).......2000-07-01

Two world authorities compiled this outstanding conifer book featuring 2347 excellent, sharp photos reproduced beautifully on high quality paper. Each picture was taken at the proper distance to show the tree's outstanding detail. Captions are a sentence or two with location often included. For detail use a good companion book such as the Manual of Cultivated Conifers by Krussmann. Imperative for landscapers and a joy for tree lovers -- a bargain at the cover price. A quality book clearly at the top of my list of favorites.

no longer short.......2006-12-05

I used a previous edition of this book in graduate school, and it was an excellent resource. Covering a broad range of protocols in a complete but concise manner, it was a single albeit fat volume that was portable and reasonably priced. In comparison to Maniatis and the full version of CP, this edition remains less extensive and less expensive, however in expanding to 2 volumes it has lost the advantage of portability that was (what I thought) really set it apart from others. The price of this edition has also increased to the point where the value of owning a personal copy has become highly questionable.

Try it, and then buy the big one!

A very good reference manual.......2000-05-27

This book is an essential tool for people in the scientific field such as Molecular Biology (obviously), Biochemistry, and Neuroscience. It is comprehensive and up-to-date as far as the techniques are concerned. It is good value in a sense that you don't have to buy the whole "Current Protocols Series" which costs an arm and a leg if you do. Although nowadays, a lot of "kits" are commercially available, the techniques found in this book explain principles and provide different alternatives suited for your needs. Molecular Cloning by Maniatis et al., although needs updating, is still a helpful reference in my opinion and it complements this book.

A Must-Have for any Molecular Biologist..........2000-03-17

I originally bought this book as a secondary source of information (Maniatis has ben my bible now for a few years...) but as time has progressed I have found myself using this book more and more. The protocols are easy to follow, logically placed, give enough information so you understand what it is you are doing, are up to date, and are all in one volume. Yes, this has effectively replaced my copy of Molecular Cloning (which is in desperate need of an update). Great job!

Book Description

Chronic wounds are a major cause of patient suffering and a financial burden to society. The focus of "Wound Care Practice" is assessment and management of chronic wounds in a wound care practice. The reader can examine the principles of managing the wound and treating the underlying cause of pressure sores, vascular insufficiency ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency ulcers, diabetic/neurotrophic foot ulcers, and other chronic wounds.

This book represents the combined efforts of 60 authors selected from the basic sciences, clinical sciences, and clinical practice. Section I defines the Problem Wound, Section II describes the Principles of Wound Assessment, Section III discusses the Principles of Wound Management, Section IV deals with Pain, Infection and Adjunctive Therapies, and Section V pertains to Healthcare Delivery.

A must have for every wound care practitioner.......2006-05-29

Donna McClure BSN, RN, CHRN, CWOCN

A Comprehensive and Multidisciplinary Guide.......2004-03-01

There have been many attempts to fill the void that exists for a truly multidisciplinary wound care reference book. The perfect reference work would be simple enough for the student to understand, while providing enough comprehensive material that the experienced practitioner could gain new insights while enhancing clinical skills. Ideally it would provide a solid understanding of the underlying causes of wounds while supplying solid principles of assessment and management which would allow students and more advanced learners alike opportunities to enhance their skills. This would allow readers with different levels of experience to remain engaged with the text, while not being too over or underwhelmed.

Wound Care Practice by Paul J. Sheffield, PhD, Adrianne P.S. Smith, MD, and Caroline E. Fife, MD is the definitive text that fills that void. The focus of this book is assessment and management of chronic wounds in a wound care practice setting. "Physicians, nurses, enterostomal therapists, physical
therapists, and other health care professionals will find in this book the principles of modern, moist, interactive wound care and the application of advanced therapies."

"This book represents the combined efforts of 60 authors selected from basic sciences, clinical sciences, and clinical practice. The reader can examine the principles of managing the wound and treating the underlying cause of pressure sores, vascular insufficiency, chronic venous insufficiency ulcers, diabetic/neurotrophic foot ulcers, and other chronic wounds."
(Paul J. Sheffield, from the Preface).

Wound Care Practice is well organized and divided into five main sections which include application chapters on defining and understanding the etiology of problem wounds, principles of wound assessment, principles of wound management, pain, infection, adjunctive therapies, and healthcare delivery.
The book also includes a helpful resource section that provides names, addresses, and contact information for wound care product and technology manufacturers.

This book differs significantly from others of the same subject matter in the holistic approach the authors have taken when examining each section's topic. An excellent example of this multidisciplinary and holistic manner is readily available in the first chapter, "Etiology of the Problem Wound". In this
chapter the authors offer a fascinating range of material that addresses oxygen and perfusion issues, the impact of nutrition and hydration, hematological abnormalities, and socioeconomic issues. Yes, this is a text, but the effects of socioeconomic issues on wounds had my rapt attention!

I highly recommend this book for anyone practicing or teaching wound care. The extensive photographs of actual wounds as well as graphs and assessment tools in this book lead me to recommend it as a reference that should be made available at nursing stations for quick reference as well. "Wound Care Practice"
would be a good addition to medical libraries, for advanced practice nursing programs, and as a reference for practicing nurses in all settings. My vote = Five Stars!

As Chemical Engineering demands from you three Thermodynamics , this book is for you . I do not remember any other book so well written and with so clear explanation about the fugacity concepts for instance . The solved problems about the first and second law of Thermodynamics are extraordinary .
After you are engaged with this text you will forget your teacher without missing him .

Useless.......2004-05-10

Ok, so i am a chemical engineering student, and this is supposed to be the textbook. Which allegedly would later on make it a forced reference for a student. However, the only useful information is the steam tables, because the properties and other things are insufficient, trust me, the book has sitted on my shelf unused for a year and a half. I have not sold it because no one here would buy it. The explanations are poor. If you want to know about thermodynamics, this is really not your book, I would rather recommend a Fisicochemistry book.

As for properties tables and the such, well, the information you are really going to use is all summed up in the Chemical Engineer's Handbook, which is a must for any ChE, even if you're just a student (believe me, it has saved me a lot of times).

Old, outdated classic cant compete with modern thermo books!.......2004-04-06

Although the book is totally introductory, it does *not* serve well to teach you something. Contents, concepts, structure, didactics, writing style and layout are more than obsolete: this text is the worst US-textbook on thermo ever (engineering thermo/chemical thermo/chemical engineering thermo), believe me! If you do not share my opinion, then it must be due to your absolute ignorance regarding this field or your pretended incompetence. This book is neither worth buying, owning, working with, nor looking at. Do not waste your time with this superficial and totally introductory, conveying-nothing text. The reason why this has been a best-seller from the late 1940's to the late 1980's (four decades!) is its age: it has been the *very* first, (c)1949, and thus, the most well-known, popular book on chem eng thermo. 'The eldest' is always being respected the most ("a classic"), but this does not mean that a best-selling classic is the best. Forget this outdated title of the (outdated?) McGraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series and profit from the new fresh look and uptodate, modern approach taken by competitive book series (Wiley, Prentice Hall, Wiley-Interscience, and...McGraw-Hill ;). Smith's 6th edition book is an incredibly poor monograph! And by the way, it is rather a treatment of Engineering Thermodynamics than a treatment of Chemical (Engineering) Thermodynamics!! Since this obsolete classic cannot compete with the new titles, I give a 2-stars rating only. 50 years ago, Smith was the de facto standard intro text (and it remains an "Introducation" throughout the 800 pages!), now this has changed.
Please also read my pos reviews of thermo books by Stanley I. Sandler 1999 (for advanced learners), Noel de Nevers 2002 (for beginners), and Stanley M. Walas 1985 (for workers). For a complete listing of relevant thermo titles have a look at table 8-1, pages 8.2-8.4, in Poling/Prausnitz/O'Connell 5th ed. c2001.

It's complete, easy to read and comprehensive.......2003-05-13

This book is written specifically for chemical engineers.It covers topics such as EOS for non-ideal multicomponent mixtures, chemical reaction thermodynamics and thermodynamics of solutions. I suggest it to everyone who have trouble with this course.

Product Description

Like a magic carpet whisking us back in time, quilts stitch our past to the present. They record community and family history by memorializing lost loved ones, welcoming new members to our tribe, smiling upon new marriages or celebrating an anniversary or graduation. Like Judy Howard's previous two Heavenly Patchwork books which won First Places in regional competition, Centennial Stitches inspires and entertains as it transports you into the lives and hearts of pioneer and contemporary women. Rejoice or cry with those who homesteaded Oklahoma's hostile and barren landscape, struggled to survive and nurture their families through the Great Depression and Dust Bowl Days or currently cope with our fast-paced society. These stories will renew your hope and inspire your faith in God. They show how everyday heroines stitch true tales of courage against insurmountable obstacles into heart-warming patchwork. Centennial Stitches tells the larger story of God's faithfulness to sustain, comfort and strengthen women through hardships. Included in this full color, coffee-table gift book are the eighty Oklahoma Centennial Quilt Contest winners, and a sampling of fifty 1800's treasured legacy quilts homesteaders brought with them in covered wagons to bring beauty and comfort to their first sod dug-outs and log cabins. Celebrate Oklahoma's unique history as seen through the eyes of our pioneer women in this full color limited collectors edition of 128 pages. All book profits go to non-profits who provide quilts for orphans, sick babies and victims of disasters--all those most in need of the touch of God's love and comfort quilts represent. Quantity discounts available for fund-raising. See www.HeavenlyPatchwork.com, 405-751-3885

Centennial Stitches and Oklahoma's centennial.......2007-05-23

This book has a collection of color photos of quilts connected with Oklahoma and its history. Some of the quilts presented in this book are as old or older as Oklahoma and some have connections with Oklahoma historical personages. Some of the quilts provide history lessons of the state or of families from Oklahoma. Some of the quilts have stories about the quilts and the makers with the quilt. Some have photos of the creators of them.

There are three parts to this book: Part one is entitled, Oklahoma history stitched in quilts. Part two is of the McCloy's Masterpiece collection which is very colorful. Part three is the Oklahoma centennial quilt contest winners. Winners are of various ages.

There are scripture quotes at the end of each entry description.

There is a table of contents at the front of the book.

The book is very colorful and a great keepsake for the Oklahoma centennial. Oklahomans interested in quilts, Oklahoma history will want to get this book. Quilt lovers too will want this book.

I purchased this book in memory of my deceased Grandmother who was a quilter. She would have loved the book.

Best text I've ever bought.......2005-06-15

I bought this book for a college composition class, and read the assigned essays. Now I go back every once in a while to read the other essays in it, and even re-read the essays I've already read.

The editors did an excellent job selecting well-written, interesting essays on a wide selection of topics from a variety of perspectives. There are essays from professionals, amatures, and students. A few are written by liberals and there are a few from more moderate and conservative sources, including Pat Robertson.

This is the kind of book you can keep handy (like in the bathroom) for times when you want to read something in bite size pieces that is interesting and edifying.
