Geology and Production of Helium and Associated Gases brings
together several different theories and models on how helium is
generated, migrated to the reservoir, and trapped from several
geologic rock types. The importance of this element in society
cannot be stressed enough, but helium is in significant short
supply. Nitrogen is also important in the fertilizer industry and
is a byproduct of helium and natural gas production. Nitrogen
presence often indicates the presence of Helium. This book brings
together a tremendous amount of geology, engineering, and
production methods not available elsewhere in one source.
His life thrown into chaos by the death of his father in his youth,
Linus Pauling persevered through an impoverished childhood to
become one of the great scientists and humanitarians of the 20th
century. In a stunningly original examination of the two-time Nobel
Laureate, Oregon State University archivist Chris Petersen touches
upon the major eras of Pauling's life and dials into specific
episodes, themes, accomplishments, and failures at a level of
detail that has not been put forth elsewhere. Topics exclusively
covered here include Pauling's generative process as author of the
groundbreaking text The Nature of the Chemical Bond; the colorful
history of the Linus Pauling Institute; his symbiotic relationship
with the W H Freeman & Co. publishing house; two entirely
separate clashes with the United States Senate and the Soviet
Academy of Science; and the story of his brilliant and troubled son
Peter. Interspersed throughout the book are light pieces that
narrate humorous moments in Pauling's life and other vignettes that
lend insight into his seemingly maverick personality. The
culmination of 15 years of research, Visions of Linus Pauling is a
magisterial piece of work, equivalent to previously unseen footage
of a blockbuster movie.The Pauling Blog:
