When Buffalo Roam - A Fantasy (Hardcover): W. G. Palmer When Buffalo Roam - A Fantasy (Hardcover)
W. G. Palmer
R668 Discovery Miles 6 680 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Standing defiantly at the bars of his cage, Caleb Lomax shouts, "How could the fate of the world ever be dealt to the beasts? Only God can control that God, and the one created 'in his own image'. and that's MAN ."

The hunter's ranting falls upon deaf ears, and minutes later The Council and their newly found Chosen One render the death sentence to his countenance of horror and disbelief.

"When Buffalo Roam" is brought to life by the fantasy's premise that the animals of planet Earth have become fully evolved and have secretly mastered the human tongue and studied our ways, and now stand poised for the historic battle that will free them from slavery. But first their young coyote prophet must embark on a perilous journey through the wilds and into human encampments to gain cooperation from the kingdom's leaders. To complicate matters, the cavernous stronghold of Animalism is under attack by unscrupulous miners and the only one onto them is trapped a thousand miles away; while the human radical who holds the key to revolutionary victory has mysteriously vanished, and the mother of all blizzards is closing in fast from the North.

The Whirligig Dance (Hardcover): G. Palmer W. G. Palmer The Whirligig Dance (Hardcover)
G. Palmer W. G. Palmer
R760 Discovery Miles 7 600 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

It's the embodiment of a lost soul that pauses before the split-log saltbox; thoughts of his broken life droning through an adrenaline-induced haze. The road behind him is wrought with death, guilt, shock, and heartache-a series of events that his keenest of nightmares couldn't have conjured. All he can hope for now is a place to fi nd solace; refuge from a world gone mad. Eyeing the puff s of white smoke that rise from the flagstone chimney like dissipating answers to life's great mysteries, Jeremy takes in a deep breath of the clean mountain air, then releases it along with the last of his apprehension over revisiting his alliance with the enigmatic albino who dwells within. The Whirligig Dance delves into the struggling maturation of the human entity via that of its main character, Jeremy Van Hutton. Feel the pain of his betrayal, the joy of his discovery, and the sense of wonder that plagues him even as it cradles his soul.

Awaiting Whisperland - The Calling of Galahad Green (Hardcover): W. G. Palmer Awaiting Whisperland - The Calling of Galahad Green (Hardcover)
W. G. Palmer
R498 Discovery Miles 4 980 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Dawn caught the darkness unaware, the sun springing from behind the mountains like a rabid cat to devour the moon's sliver. During the course of the night the temperature about Heartbreak Ridge had risen to exceed a hundred degrees. Below its western rim the massive wilderness of Whisperland was hotter still. To the south, the animals of New Eden had amassed sixty-some-odd deep and over a kilometer wide. Across from them, the gladiators of the Fleshstalkers and the Rebel Skys loomed as a formidable challenge. In the backdrop, Warbird posed his bloodshot eyes to a trio of figures at the fall line of the plateau-the great roan stallion and his riders, the human trash who dared interfere with the inevitable outcome of the epic battle. Galahad felt certain he was on the threshold of an epiphany, just as he knew that nothing short of one would save the kingdom.

A History of the Concept of Valency to 1930 (Paperback): W. G. Palmer A History of the Concept of Valency to 1930 (Paperback)
W. G. Palmer
R1,019 Discovery Miles 10 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The development of the concept of valency has provided one of the major unifying contributions to the growth of chemistry as a science. The study of its history is therefore of the greatest interest to all chemists and historians of chemistry. After 1930, wave mechanics provided a firm theoretical basis for the arbitrary postulates on which conceptions of atomic structure previously rested and this account, which was originally published in 1965, does not go beyond that point. Dr Palmer preserves the historical outlook of the different chronological stages by including extracts from the publications of the most influential scientists, in the nomenclature and terminology of their time; quotations from German are however accompanied by an English translation. Biographical notes and references help to bring alive the personalities of the scientists and to increase the appeal of the book to those who are not professional chemists or historians of science.j

This second edition was first published in 1959. The first four chapters present a compact elementary account of classical and modern conceptions of valency, suitable for the more general reader and for students preparing for university examinations. The concluding chapters are more advanced: chapter five shows how the electronic theory is applied to the heavier elements and their principal compounds; and the last chapter is devoted to current developments, and theories still in their early stages.
