Microfossils is the definitive guide to all the major microfossil groups. In recent years a greater understanding of species ' concepts and stratigraphical ranges, advances in the completeness of the microfossil record and the advent of molecular techniques in classification have led to major changes in the classification and applications of microfossils. This new edition of Microfossils has been restructured and rewritten to take into account these significant advances to provide a complete guide to taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology and palaeoecology of microfossils and their applications.This new edition includes:major revisions incorporating the latest available research;a new section on isotopes, and on applications in stratigraphy, geothermometry and evolution;coverage of the major developments in the use of microfossils in palaeo-oceanography and palaeoclimatology; andphotographs to support the line drawings.Microfossils is an essential reference tool and laboratory guide for undergraduate and graduate students of micropalaeontology.
Review:
a must-have innovation in the study of the fossil records
PaleoBase: Macrofossils Part 2.0: Ammonoids, Bivalves, Coleoids, Gastropods, and other Mollusca (CD-ROM) edited by Norman Macleod, contributions by Staff Natural History Museum, London England (Blackwell Publishing) said though three in separately issued CD-ROMs is likely to become the basis by which students and scientists their fossil taxonomy. Rich in visual detail these records are likely to become a touchstone for basic understanding of our fossil records geologically and in evolutionary demonstrations of the persistence and change of basic forms of life in the fossil record. Highly recommended for all serious students and scientists as a resource for studying fossils.

In recent years methods and techniques for the analysis of organic compounds in the atmosphere have been developed to increase both the spectrum of detectable compounds as well as the corresponding detection limits. New methods have been introduced to increase the time resolution of those measurements and to resolve more complex mixtures of organic compounds. Volatile Organic Compounds in the Atmosphere will describe the current state of knowledge of the chemistry of VOCs as well as the methods and techniques to analyse gaseous and particulate organic compounds in the atmosphere. The aim is to provide an authoritative review to address the needs of both graduate students and active researchers in the field of atmospheric chemistry research.
Trans Fatty Acids

Trans fatty acids (TFAs) have been used for many years to impart desirable physical characteristics to fats and fat blends used in food manufacturing. However, clinical trials and epidemiological studies conducted over the last thirty years have shown that TFAs can increase “bad” cholesterol levels in the blood while reducing “good” cholesterol. Accordingly, they are also linked with increased risks of coronary heart disease, thrombosis and strokes. For this reason, the food industry has been obliged to find alternatives to TFAs, thus enabling it to meet the presumed consumer demand for “low” or “no” trans fats products. The issue is becoming more and more pressing. For example, US labelling regulations now require that food manufacturers state the trans fat content of their products on the packaging.
This book provides an overview of trans fatty acids in oils and fats used in food manufacture. Topics covered include: the chemistry and occurrence of TFAs; analytical methods for determining the fatty acid composition including TFAs of foods; processing techniques for reducing, minimising or even avoiding the formation of TFAs; TFA alternatives in food; health and nutrition concerns and legislative aspects. It is directed at chemists and technologists working in edible oils and fats processing and product development; food scientists and technologists; analytical chemists and nutritionists working in the food industry.
Steel Detailers' Manual

This highly illustrated manual provides practical guidance on structural steelwork detailing. It:
* describes the common structural shapes in use and how they are joined to form members and complete structures
* explains detailing practice and conventions
* provides detailing data for standard sections, bolts and welds
* emphasises the importance of tolerances in order to achieve proper site fit-up
* discusses the important link between good detailing and construction costs
Examples of structures include single and multi-storey buildings, towers and bridges. The detailing shown will be suitable in principle for fabrication and erection in many countries, and the sizes shown will act as a guide to preliminary design.
The second edition has been updated to take account of changes to standards, including the revisions to BS5950 and includes a new chapter on computer aided detailing.
Summary: An excellent, but slightly overpriced, manual.
Rating: 4
This book is packed with useful information on structural steel detailing. The authors have taken their time to compile all of the various elements of structural steel detailing, from welding, bolting and corrosion detailing, to lots of very useful tables and worked examples.
But there are two important points to note. Firstly, the authors are British, and thus all of the standards referenced throughout the book are based on British and European standards. Those of you, like me, who are far more familiar with American standards will need to do some extra homework looking up the American equivalents of the British/European nomenclature used throughout the manual. Secondly, given the wealth of information covered in this manual, it should have been at least fifty pages longer. The editing of this book is sometimes very choppy, and it does give the impression that the authors were compelled to edit some topics down to a bare minimum, leaving them with no choice but to try to pack as much useful information as possible into as few paragraphs as possible.
Overall, despite the relatively high sticker price for a paperback book that is only 167 pages long, this manual does a fine job covering detailing principles. I would definitely recommend it to any technician/engineer involved with structural steel.
Summary: a good book for rocket scientists
Rating: 2
a far to detailed volume for what needs be
Summary: A must for every Steel Detailer/Steel Design Engr.
Rating: 5
The basic things, which generally neglected by the Detailer, are explained well.
The typical conn. details & the most useful details are presented with the sketches.
The dimensions, which we can't always keep in our brains, are tabulated very well.

The future of the world's forests is at the forefront of environmental debate. Rising concerns over the effects of deforestation and climate change are highlighting the need both to conserve and manage existing forests and woodland through sustainable forestry practices. The Forests Handbook, written by an international team of both scientists and practitioners, presents an integrated approach to forests and forestry, applying our present understanding of forest science to management practices, as a basis for achieving sustainability.
Volume One presents an overview of the world's forests; their locations and what they are like, the science of how they operate as complex ecosystems and how they interact with their environment. Volume Two applies this science to reality; it focuses on forestry interventions and their impact, the principles governing how to protect forests and on how we can better harness the enormous benefits forests offer. Case studies are drawn from several different countries and are used to illustrate the key points.
Development specialists, forest managers and those involved with land and land-use will find this handbook a valuable and comprehensive overview of forest science and forestry practice. Researchers and students of forestry, biology, ecology and geography will find it equally accessible and useful.
