Presents current knowledge of intermolecular interactions, the
dynamics of wetting and the importance of wettability phenomena in
processes and products, detailing the considerations required for
wettability in multicomponent systems. Underlying theory and
experimental methods are described.
The Giants-Dodgers rivalry began in the 1840s, was considered to be
the best in baseball by 1890, and continues to be the game's oldest
and most storied rivalry today. Three reasons it has been the best
are how often both teams have been good, how rarely they have been
bad, and how tenaciously they have battled each other. At the
rivalry's peak, from 1946 to 1971, the Giants and Dodgers finished
either one - two or within five games of first place a remarkable
nine times. This, the first book on the Giants-Dodgers saga in over
forty years, is the definitive account of the rivalry from its
beginning to the present. It covers both teams and their players,
including all the greats, such as Wee Willie Keeler, John McGraw,
Christy Mathewson, Mel Ott, Leo Durocher, Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee
Reese, Ralph Branca, Sandy Koufax, Juan Marichal, Joe Morgan, Tommy
Lasorda, and Barry Bonds, among many others. It also examines the
two teams' four cities, and gives special attention to their moves
to California in the 1950s. The rivalry arguably reached its apex
in the years following the move.

"The Prehistory of Gold Butte "uses a theoretical perspective
rooted in human behavior ecology and other foraging models to
present the results of one of the largest and most comprehensive
archaeological investigations ever undertaken in southern Nevada,
involving the systematic survey of more than 31,000 acres, the
documentation of more than 377 sites, and the excavation of nine
prehistoric sites. Gold Butte--at the crossroads of the Mojave
Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau in southern
Nevada--has a 12,000-year record of human occupation with
archaeological elements that can be traced to all three culture
zones.
Dramatic developments occurred in this area of the Desert West.
Farmers suddenly appeared in the Virgin River basin about 1,600
years ago. At such iconic sites as Lost City, Main Ridge, and Mesa
House, full village and agricultural life developed over the span
of a few hundred years only to completely vanish by AD 1250 after a
series of droughts and other cultural disruptions. The Patayan held
sway for several hundred years, between AD 1100 and 1500, but
didn't advance much beyond the Colorado River corridor. Finally,
the Southern Paiute arrived and occupied not only the Virgin River
basin and Gold Butte but much of the northwestern quadrant of the
Southwest from at least the time of historic contact (AD 1500) to
the present.
This mix of cultures illustrates historical contingency, inplace
development, and external relationships that should be expected
along a boundary area such as Gold Butte. By looking at hinterlands
adjoining the prehistoric settlements that clustered along the
Virgin River corridor before, during, and after the Puebloan
period, the authors suggest that changes in settlement- subsistence
and lifeways at core settlements along the riverine corridor have
corresponding effects on the character and intensity of hinterland
occupation.
