The first edition of this work was written by W.A. Poucher in 1923.
His aim was to produce a comprehensive coverage of products giving
simple background theories with basic formulations and their
methods of manufacture. This new edition follows in this tradition
and maintains the simplicity of approach aimed at students or
specialists in one discipline, with some knowledge of science, who
need an introduction to cosmetic science and technology. In the 17
years since the publication of the last edition, cosmetic science
has developed to such an extent that men and women working in
research and the industry, specialize in different disciplines and
selected product categories, therefore each chapter has been
written by specialist authors. Part 1 deals with products in
alphabetical order, following previous editions. In the respective
chapters, an outline of the biology and function of the skin and
its appendages, ie hair, teeth and nails, is given, followed by
descriptions of the needs for products, their formulation and
manufacture. In Part 2 there are seven chapters covering the
knowledge required and the procedures to follow when marketing
cosmetics. They are analytical methods, efficacy testing, emulsion
theory, microbial control, legislation, safety and stability. Part
3 contains three chapters covering historical background, the
perfuming of products and lastly the psychology of fragrance. This
book provides a basic knowledge of "cosmetics" - a word which
covers any product used to cleanse, protect or adorn the human
body. It aims to serve as a valuable introduction and source of
reference for all those involved in the cosmetics and toiletries
industry, including suppliers of raw materials, manufacturers of
finished products, R&D laboratories in industry and educational
institutions as well as beauty clinics and schools.
Poucher's Perfumes Cosmetics and Soaps has been in print since 1923
and is the classic reference work in the field of cosmetics. Now in
a fully updated 10th edition, this new volume provides a firm basic
knowledge in the science of cosmetics (including toiletries) as
well as incorporating the latest trends in scientific applications
and legislation which have occurred since the 9th edition. This
edition will not only be an excellent reference book for students
entering the industry but also for those in specialized research
companies, universities and other associated institutions who will
be able to gain an overall picture of the modern cosmetic science
and industry. The book has been logically ordered into four
distinct parts. The historical overview of Part 1 contains an essay
demonstrating William Arthur Poucher's influence on the 20th
Century cosmetics industry as well as a chapter detailing the long
history of cosmetics. Part 2 is a comprehensive listing of the
properties and uses of common cosmetic types, ranging from
Antiperspirants through to Sunscreen preparations. There are an
increased number of raw materials in use today and their chemical,
physical and safety benefits are carefully discussed along with
formulation examples. The many additions since the last edition
demonstrate the dramatic recent expansion in the industry and how
changes in legal regulations affecting the development, production
and marketing of old, established and new products are operative
almost worldwide. Information on specialist products for babies and
others is included within individual chapters. The chapters in Part
3 support and outline the current guidelines regarding the
assessment and controlof safety and stability. This information is
presented chemically, physically and microbiologically. Part 3
chapters also detail requirements for the consumer acceptability of
both existing and new products. Those legal regulations now in
force in the EU, the USA and Japan are carefully described in a
separate chapter and the remaining chapters have been extensively
updated to explain the technical and practical operations needed to
comply with regulations when marketing. This information will be
invaluable to European Union and North American companies when
preparing legally required product information dossiers. The final
chapters in Part 4 contain useful information on the psychology of
perfumery as well as detailing methods for the conduct of
assessment trials of new products. As ingredient labelling is now
an almost universal legal requirement the International
Nomenclature of Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI) for raw materials has
been used wherever practicable. The advertised volume is the 10th
edition of what was previously known as volume 3 of Poucher's
Cosmetics and Soaps. Due to changes in the industry there are no
plans to bring out new editions of volume 1 and 2.
A description of general techniques for solving linear partial differential equations by dividing space into regions to which the equations are independently applied and then assembling a global solution from the partial ones. Intended for researchers and graduates involved in calculations of the electronic structure of materials, this will also be of interest to workers in quantum chemistry, electron microscopy, acoustics, optics, and other fields. The book begins with an intuitive approach to scattering theory and then turns to partial waves and a formal development of multiple scattering theory, with applications to the solid state. The authors then present a variational derivation of the formalism and an augmented version of the theory, concluding with a discussion of the relativistic formalism and a discussion of the Poisson equation. Appendices discuss Green's functions, spherical functions, Moller operators and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, irregular solutions, and singularities in Green's functions.
The enormous Pentecostal and charismatic movement—often called
Renewalist—has highlighted the power of the Holy Spirit but has
rarely emphasized the movement’s educational range and reach.
Formal and informal teaching in many schools, colleges, seminaries,
church campuses, homes, and parachurches all contribute to a
scattered and varied teaching impetus. Pentecostal and Charismatic
Education: Renewalist Education Wherever it is Found looks at
education through the eyes of those who see God at work in the
world through the church and beyond. The book explores questions
like: What should parents look for in a child’s education and
what choices do they have? What educational role can churches have?
This book offers a worldview invested with traditional Christian
theology, but also enlivened by an understanding of the continuing
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
This book assesses the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration
Program (CFLRP) and identifies lessons learned for governance and
policy through this new and innovative approach to collaborative
forest management. Unlike anything else in US public land
management, the CFLRP is a nationwide program that requires
collaboration throughout the life of national forest restoration
projects, joining agency partners and local stakeholder groups in a
kind of decade-long restoration marriage. This book provides a
comprehensive assessment of the governance dynamics of the program,
examining: questions about collaborative governance processes and
the dynamics of trust, accountability and capacity; how scientific
information is used in making decisions and integrated into
adaptive management processes; and the topic of collaboration
through implementation, an underdeveloped area of collaborative
governance literature. Bringing together chapters from a community
of social science and policy researchers who have conducted studies
across multiple CFLRP projects, this volume generates insights, not
just about the program, but also about dynamics that are central to
collaborative and landscape approaches to land management and
relevant for broader practice. This volume is a timely and
important contribution to environmental governance scholarship. It
will be of interest to researchers and students of natural resource
management, environmental governance, and forestry, as well as
practitioners and policy makers involved in forest and ecosystem
restoration efforts, and collaborative natural resource management
more broadly.

For the convenience of research workers, particularly those with
limited knowledge of embryology, we have put together a series of
tables to enable rapid identification of specific stages of
embryonic development in the more commonly used mammals. Because if
its frequent usage the chick embryo is included this atlas.
Museum professionals' increased focus on visitors in recent years
has been demonstrated by, among other things, the enhanced practice
of evaluation and the development of interpretive plans. Yet too
often, these efforts function independent of one another. This book
helps museums integrate visitors' perspectives into interpretive
planning by recognizing, defining, and recording desired visitor
outcomes throughout the process. The integration of visitor studies
in the practice of interpretive planning is also based on the
belief that the greater our understanding, tracking, and monitoring
of learners, the greater the impact museums will make on public
understanding of the science and humanities disciplines. An
approach that advocates thoughtful and intentional interpretive
planning that constantly integrates visitor perspectives is the
next step in working with, rather than for, our communities; a step
toward truly becoming visitor-centered and impactful as essential
learning institutions of the 21st century.

This classic work by Poucher, first published in 1923, was last
produced in three volumes titled, respectively The Raw Materials of
Perfumery (seventh edition, 1974), The Production, Manufacture and
Application of Perfumes (eighth edition, 1974) and Modern Cosmetics
(eighth edition, 1974). Its popularity is well demonstrated by
there having been three reprints of these editions in 1976, 1979
and 1984, respectively. The history of events can be traced by
reference to the prefaces to earlier editions and those interested
should study these with care since they give a fascinating insight
into developments in the subject fields covered by Poucher's
Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps over the years. It is not proposed to
provide a resume here. In this Volume I, the current edition
attempts to provide data about raw materials in a more formalized
way than before, so that not only the history of some compounds can
be checked, but also so that useful reference information can be
obtained. It is particularly relevant to do this, since it is not
always easy to be certain of nomenclature. Moreover, as we move
towards 'ingredient labelling' (a trend not welcomed by some), a
high level of uniformity will be needed. Whether this will come
from adoption of CTFA terminology, use of CAS numbers or some other
system is not clear. Where possible, such data have been included
so that readers may identify materials more readily. Where given,
CAS numbers are located in the top right-hand corner of each entry.
Cosmetic Science has developed greatly since the publication of the
8th edition of this textbook in 1974. Although the first part of
this volume still consists of chapters about product preparations
in alphabetical order, each product category has been revised and
updated by a specialist. An outline of the biology, structure and
function of skin, hair, teeth and nails and the reasons for the
need for cosmetics are given in those dealing with the relevant
preparations. Throughout, the word Cosmetics includes toiletries
and thus all products which protect, cleanse, adorn, and perfume
the human body, and combat body odour and perspiration. The 'f'
spelling for the element 'sulfur' and its derivatives has been used
following the recommendations of the International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry (IUP AC) and the decision taken by the Royal
Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the British Standards Institute
(BSI) to use 'f' instead of 'ph' in all their publications. This
stems from the derivation of the use of the 'f' from Latin and its
use in England until the 15th century.
The mathematical apparatus of group theory is a means of exploring
and exploiting physical and algebraic structure in physical and
chemical prob lems. The existence of structure in the physical
processes leads to structure in the solutions. For group theory to
be useful this structure need not be an exact symmetry, although as
examples of exact symmetries we have that the identity of electrons
leads to permutation symmetries in many-electron wave functions,
the spatial structure of crystals leads to the Bloch theory of
crystal eigenfunctions, and the rotational invariance of the
hydrogenic Hamiltonian leads to its factorization into angular and
radial parts. In the 1930's Wigner extended what is known to
mathematicians as the theory of group representations and the
theory of group algebras to study the coupling coefficients of
angular momentum, relating various properties of the coefficients
to the properties of the abstract group of rotations in 3-space. In
1949 Racah, in a paper on rare earth spectra, showed that similar
coefficients occur in other situations. Immediately a number of
studies of the coefficients were begun, notably by Jahn, with his
applications in nuclear physics. In the years since then a large
number of physicists and chemists have added to the development of
a general theory of the coefficients, or have produced specialized
tables for a specific application. Applications now range from
high-energy physics to biology.

Elmgreen & Dragset's constructed environments have been
celebrated all over the world for their mischievous, cerebral, and
accessible nature. This is the first comprehensive presentation of
the duo's work, from their early performative pieces in the late
1990s to their most recent public projects Drawing from disciplines
as divergent as institutional critique, social politics,
performance, design, and architecture, Elmgreen & Dragset's
work reconfigures the familiar with characteristic and subversive
wit. Their sculptures and installations, also known as 'Powerless
Structures', have redefined what it means to experience art - the
cover features their work Van Gogh's Ear, a sculpture in the form
of a swimming pool, which is located on Fifth Avenue in New York at
the entrance to the Rockefeller Center. This book includes all of
their most significant projects, from the transformation of New
York's Bohen Foundation into a subway station in 2004, to the
siting of a fake Prada boutique in the Texan desert in 2005, and
the installation of the statue of a child on a rocking horse on the
fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2012. Elmgreen & Dragset
is the latest addition to the acclaimed Phaidon Contemporary
Artists Series.

Published in conjunction with a major retrospective of the work of
Brazilian painter, sculptor and performance artist Lygia Clark,
this publication presents a linear and progressive survey of the
artist's groundbreaking practice. Having trained with modern
masters from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, Clark was at the
forefront of Constructivist and Neo-Concretist movements in Brazil
and fostered the active participation of the spectator through her
works. Examining Clark's output from her early abstract
compositions to the "biological architectures" and "relational
objects" she created late in her career, this is the most
comprehensive volume on the artist available in English. Three
sections based on key phases throughout her career--Abstraction,
Neo-Concretism and The Abandonment of Art--examine these critical
moments in Clark's production, anchor significant concepts or
constellations of works that mark a definitive step in her work,
and shed light on circumstances in her life as an artist. Featuring
a significant selection of previously unpublished archival texts of
Clark's personal writings, it is a vital source of primary
documentation for twentieth-century art history scholarship.
Lygia Clark (1920-1988) trained in Rio de Janeiro and Paris from
the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. From the late 1960s through the
1970s she created a series of unconventional artworks in parallel
to a lengthy psychoanalytic therapy, leading her to develop a
series of therapeutic propositions grounded in art. Clark has
become a major reference for contemporary artists dealing with the
limits of conventional forms of art.
