Surface thermodynamics forms the foundation of any meaningful
study of capillarity and wetting phenomena. The second edition of
Applied Surface Thermodynamics offers a comprehensive
state-of-the-art treatment of this critical topic. It provides
students and researchers with fundamental knowledge and practical
guidelines in solving real-world problems related to the
measurement and interpretation of interfacial properties.
Containing 40 percent new material and reorganized content, this
second edition begins by presenting a generalized Gibbs theory of
capillarity, including discussions of highly curved interfaces.
Concentrating on drop-shape techniques, the book discusses
liquid-fluid interfacial tension and its measurement. Next, the
authors focus on contact angles with chapters on experimental
procedures, thermodynamic models, and the interpretation of contact
angles in terms of solid surface tension. The book discusses
theoretical approaches to determining solid surface tension as well
as interfacial tensions of particles and their manifestations. It
concludes by discussing drop size dependence of contact angles and
line tension.
What's New in the Second Edition:
- Recent progress in Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis (ADSA)
- Image processing methods for drop shape analysis
- Advanced applications and generalizations of ADSA
- Recent studies of contact angle hysteresis
- Contact angles on inert fluoropolymers
- Update on line tension and the drop size dependence of contact
angles
Exploring a range of different aspects of surface science and
its applications, the book logically progresses so that knowledge
of previous chapters enhances the understanding of subsequent
material, yet each chapter is freestanding so that experienced
researchers can quickly refer to topics of particular interest.

Melinda A. Roberts and David T. Wasserman 1 Purpose of this
Collection What are our obligations with respect to persons who
have not yet, and may not ever, come into existence? Few of us
believe that we can wrong those whom we leave out of existence
altogether-that is, merely possible persons. We may think as well
that the directive to be "fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth" 1 does not hold up to close scrutiny. How can it be wrong to
decline to bring ever more people into existence? At the same time,
we think we are clearly ob- gated to treat future persons-persons
who don't yet but will exist-in accordance with certain stringent
standards. Bringing a person into an existence that is truly
awful-not worth having-can be wrong, and so can bringing a person
into an existence that is worth having when we had the alternative
of bringing that same person into an existence that is
substantially better. We may think as well that our obligations
with respect to future persons are triggered well before the point
at which those persons commence their existence. We think it would
be wrong, for example, to choose today to turn the Earth of the
future into a miserable place even if the victims of that choice do
not yet exist.

At last, a book on therapy which is easy to read and jargon-free,
yet manages to convey the richness of the group experience.' -
Penelope Campling, British Journal of Psychiatry 'It is vitalising
reading - and should be on the shelves of any psychotherapy
department and of any therapist with an interest in groups.' -
Chris Evans, British Journal of Medical Psychology 'The purpose of
this short, highly readable and extremely informative book is "to
provide the reader with a practical insight into the group-analytic
method of group therapy". The book achieves this goal through a
format that is interactive with the reader.' - Jerome S. Gans,
International Journal of Group Psychotherapy A Workbook of
Group-Analytic Interventions is designed to complement the academic
and experiential training of therapists. Written by experienced
practitioners, it gives trainees a practical insight into the ways
in which group analysts may tackle difficult situations, allowing
them to understand more fully the nature of intervention right from
the beginning of their training. Eight situations drawn from real
psychotherapy groups are presented in detail so that readers may
exercise their own skills in taking decisions and judging
appropriate interventions. Each situation is then analysed in depth
by one of the authors, who describe and comment on the thinking
behind the interventions suggested by a panel of group analysts.
The book gives the trainee a wide and informed appreciation of
different situations arising in groups and appropriate ways of
handling them. It provides an excellent base from which to start to
practise.
Robert Kroetsch: Essayist, Novelist, Poet brings together an
international cast of critics, scholars, and writers to examine,
re-examine, and honour the celebrated author's immense significance
in the twenty-first century, and what it means to be Canadian and
part of the country's literary landscape. Original essays by Dennis
Cooley, Phil Hall, Nicole Markotic, Aritha van Herk, and Rudy
Wiebe, among others. The author of nine novels, thirteen books of
poetry, and seven non-fiction volumes, Robert Kroetsch (1927-2011)
was a major figure in the development and history of literature in
Canada. He won the Governor General's Award for Fiction for The
Studhorse Man (1969) and was shortlisted for the Governor General's
Award for Poetry for The Hornbooks of Rita K. (2001). He received
honorary degrees from the University of Winnipeg (1983) and the
University of Alberta (1997), and was made an Officer of the Order
of Canada (2004). Robert Kroetsch stands as a seminal figure in the
Canadian literary landscape. In his early fiction he introduced
postmodern techniques into the mainstream of Canadian fiction. He
then moved on to writing poetry while still writing fiction, and
created a new vision for poets across the country, defining the
nature of the poetic experience by searching out the roots of his
place in the Canadian landscape. Robert Kroetsch: Essayist,
Novelist, Poet is a timely reminder of the immense significance
that Kroetsch holds in the twenty-first-century understanding of
what it means to be Canadian and part of the country's literary
landscape. This book is published in English. - Robert Kroetsch
(1927-2011) est une figure majeure de l'histoire et du
developpement de la litterature au Canada. Son roman intitule The
Studhorse Man (1969) lui a permis de remporter le Prix litteraire
du Gouverneur general dans la categorie roman et nouvelles ; par
ailleurs, son recueil de poesie, intitule The Hornbooks of Rita K.
(2001), a figure sur la liste des finalistes du Prix litteraire du
Gouverneur general dans la categorie poesie. De plus, il s'est vu
decerner un doctorat honoris causa par deux universites
canadiennes, l'Universite de Winnipeg (1983) et l'Universite de
l'Alberta (1997), et il a ete fait officier de l'Ordre du Canada
(2004). Robert Kroetsch est une figure marquante du paysage
litteraire canadien. Dans ses premiers ouvrages de fiction, il a
introduit des techniques de narration postmodernes dans le courant
dominant et jusqu'alors plutot conventionnel de la fiction
canadienne. Il a ensuite entrepris d'ecrire de la poesie tout en
poursuivant son oeuvre romanesque. Ce faisant, il a su creer une
nouvelle vision pour les poetes canadiens ; il a, entre autres,
defini la nature de l'experience poetique en se questionnant sur le
sens de l'identite canadienne et sur la place qu'il occupait dans
le paysage litteraire canadien. L'ouvrage intitule Robert Kroetsch
: romancier, poete et essayiste constitue un rappel opportun de
l'importance considerable de cet auteur majeur, qui nous a permis
de mieux comprendre ce que cela signifiait d'etre Canadien au XXIe
siecle et d'appartenir au paysage litteraire canadien. Ce livre est
publie en anglais.

The Lakota Sioux Indians is a history of the Sioux people. The
Sioux were a Plains Indian that depended on the buffalo. Their ways
and life style is told. They were a powerful tribe, dreaded by
other tribes. They fought to gain ground to dwell on and hunt. The
Sioux are the only American Indians to ever defeat the U.S. Army.
Chief Red Cloud won the war bearing his name. He went to war
because the U.S. Army broke the Treaty of Laramie. After The U.S.
Cavalry massacred many Cheyenne and Sioux villages, Chief Sitting
Bull and 2,000 Arapaho, Cheyenne and Sioux Indians finally
massacred Lieutenant. Colonel George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry
at the Little Bighorn in retaliation. Much of Sitting Bull's life
is portrayed in the book.
From jewellery designers to scientists, graphic artists to
naturalists, the range of people inspired by Ernst Haeckel's
illustrations continues to grow. Following up on Prestel's Art
Forms in Nature and Art Forms from the Ocean, this new collection
features startlingly beautiful images created by Haeckel, who was
commissioned to contribute to the report of the HMS Challenger
expedition, which circumnavigated the world from 1872-76. The
Challenger's achievements were unparalleled, with nearly 5,000 new
species discovered and catalogued from the depths of Earth's
oceans. Full-page reproductions bring these organisms colourfully
to life, drawing readers into a world at once hypnotic and highly
ordered. Divided into three sections-Siphonophores, Medusae and
Radiolarians-these illustrations display Haeckel's remarkable
artistic skill and understanding of the architecture of organic
matter. The authors provide a brief history of the Challenger
expedition, background on Haeckel's scientific and artistic
accomplishments, as well as informative texts on each group of
organisms.A guide to the natural world and an inspiration to
artists of every stripe, this collection of Haeckel's work is a
fitting tribute to a 19th century genius.
"Includes the plays Joan of Arc and William Tell Two plays about
historical characters whose fame has also raised them to the level
of myth. In Joan of Arc (1801), Schiller allows his heroine a more
glorious death than her historical execution at the stake, and
imbues her with more passion, and compassion, than is usually
ascribed to the actual Joan. In William Tell (1805), often regarded
as his greatest play, Schiller creates a vivid sense of time and
place - medieval Switzerland - and in his troubled hero, the
accidental revolutionary Tell, create a complex and fascinating
figure. One of the great figures in German literature, Friedrich
Schiller (1759-1805) was in some ways the most significant
playwright of his day, numbering among his devotees Coleridge and
Carlyle. His plays are known for their originality of form, vivid
stage imagery and powerful language, faithfully rendered in Robert
David MacDonald's acclaimed translations. "
