5 out of 5 stars Great Book!.......2007-04-07

This book is awesome. It gets right to the point. Preston is incredible. He actually taught some of our acid-base lectures during renal, and they were some of the best lectures we have had. I highly recommend this book!

5 out of 5 stars a simple "open mind" book.......2007-04-02

enjoing your reading
a practical and easy to understand little book which give you the key to approach first, and most important, a lot of true clinical problem and second, more heavy textbook abt the issues treated.

5 out of 5 stars Your Lifesaver in Fluid & Electrolytes Ocean!.......2006-03-05

I purchased this book with some doubt, because you see a very high variability in these series. Now, i am very happy. Every medical student and resident gets frustrated with fliuid and electrolytes. Reading textbooks makes it worse. I have seen a lot of attendings and Nephrologists (!!) who are scared of this subject. This book can help you tremendously. It is written in a very simple language and gives you the proper approach to fluid and electrolyte problems. It is full of practical examples that you will see every day and shows you how to solve them. After reading this book, you will be confident enough to deal with electrolytes. Instead of replacing electrolytes blindly with K-Dur and Neutra-Phos and .... and not knowing what to do with Hyponatremia, you will have a nice framework in your brain to deal with them. And the best part: It is a small book. Don't hesitate to get it. You won't regret.

2 out of 5 stars Good but not good enough!.......2005-09-13

This book does only provide some miner basic understanding of Na, K, and acid base pathophysiology and replacement. Other e-lytes such as magnesium, calcium, phosphor and especially the interaction of those is completely missing. The acid base part is ok for getting a basic understanding of whats going on.
Overall I would say that there much better options to spend your money on.

5 out of 5 stars Practically Life savor for both you and patient.......2005-07-12

I hardly anytime would give "5" stars to any products, but this just blew my doubts and misunderstanding out to pieces. I don't want to sound too explicit, but actually it's better than sex when you understand something and everything come to senses.

I mean you out there tell me what other book can teach you so perfectly acid base balances, mixed disorder and anion gap acidosis? No other. Considering even residents who work in US don't know how to calculate electrolyte, this is a topic regarded lightly by students. But I don't think so. By giving wrong fluid to critical patient, is not a good story to tell. It's so critical we have to know it. And first time I felt this material to be easy.

One day I was so frustrated on some acid base question of mixed acid base disorder, and was frantically searching in google, yahoo, msn , or anything I can put my hands on to enlighten concept as how to calculate electrolytes but without avail. So frustrated I even couldn't sleep that night. I tried to forget but soon it came to my mind boggling unsolved calculation. Then I was sparkled to my mind that I bought this book long time ago and it might explain to me something better. Sooner opening the page than I was gobbling all I could gorge the materials. That night, after I've done doing all the problems in that little book, I said to myself, Oh boy, this is actually better than sex!

the beauty of this book is way the explanation is so step wise and gives you a smooth comprehension followed by problems which makes you sure that you get it.

I mean I looked everwhere..... Even the Harrison didn't have the slightest notion of practical calculation to what it appears complex electrolyte acid base balance, but this little book made it so simple that finally made me think to sue Harrison(well just joking..)

First time I bought this book, I didn't take it seriously and put it in back corner of bookshelves, but I was so glad I bought it. I'm telling ya, this is the only book can save your exam and your patient as well.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great book for fundamentals of electrochemistry.......2007-02-24

This book is a great one to brush up on your fundamentals of electrochemistry and a must-have-on-your-bookshelf item for electrochemists. The latest edition also covers sections on modern day applications of electrochemical methods and serves as a good reference to understand the techniques.

5 out of 5 stars Second Edition updated.......2001-05-03

The 1st edition (the 1980 version) was the gold standard of electrochemistry books, and the authors have done an excellent job of revision for the 2001 2nd edition. In particular, the sections on impedance and modern pulse methods flow nicely. The spectroscopy section has been updated as well. I have not worked many problems, but they seem useful in elucidating concepts. The mathematics is of a higher order than one expects from electrochemistry, showing the impact of kinetics on electrode processes nicely. I recommend this text for electrochemistry courses highly.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent reference.......1997-07-27

This is a very complete and thorough book, and covers all of the fundamentals. It suffers from being somewhat out-of-date (1980), so it does not cover modern techniques (e.g., x-ray, STM) or single-crystal electrodes.

It can be rough for the first-time student, but it's a must for the serious researcher. I often spend hours working on a problem, only to discover the answer is buried in here!

        4 out of 5 stars Electrochemical Deposition.......2001-05-26

        This book being the first of its kind in the industry on electrochemical deposition is very informative and interesting. Copper damanscene being the future for CMP has somwhat made this book a neccessity to all personnel working in the micro electronics industry.

        The book gives a good grounding on electrochemical deposition and the underlying parameters that affect deposition.

        The only setback is that there is no effort being made to link the findings in the deposition of copper and how it affects the final CMP process.

        Being a new and first of its kind this is forgivable.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2001-05-26

        The book covers the major features of all kinds of electrochemical deposition and it is a handy book for all those involved in this kind of depostion studies..

          Book Description

          This monograph covers the rapidly developing field of electrochemical supercapacitors capable of exhibiting many Farads of capacitance per gram of active materials. The volume is aimed at a broad spectrum of scientists and technologists, including electrochemists, chemists, electrochemical and electrical engineers, and materials scientists. Hence the book is self-contained, starting with introductory chapters on the double-layer at interfaces, principles of electrode-process kinetics, and of electrostatics required in the treatment of double-layers and ion solvation, and elements of the theory of dielectrics. The main body of the material is concerned with procedures for characterizing the behavior and performance of electrochemical capacitors. Similarities and differences between electrochemical capacitors and batteries are treated in some detail, together with applications of both small and large capacitance units such as computer memory back-up and hybrid battery-capacitor systems for electric-vehicle drive-trains. A section is included on the practically important and scientifically interesting topic of self-discharge of capacitors and batteries, and the mechanisms that can be involved in that phenomenon. The work concludes with an up-to-date technology survey and a summary of recent and earlier patents in the field.

          5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book.......2007-08-07

          Excellent theory and full of tremdous resources (and references) for anyone in the Electrochemical Field

          3 out of 5 stars A Beginners Friend Jumping Into Electrochemistry!.......2005-05-02

          This book is a good starter book for people who are interested in taking electrochemistry. This book explains an overview of equations used in electrochemistry. You will have to go to Allen J. Bard to get a more fundamental approach to electrochemistry. However, this book is useful to jog one's memory about a certain instrumentation used and quick equation look up. This book really helped tremendously while I took my electrochemistry course.

          5 out of 5 stars Wang is so beautiful.......2000-03-16

          Wang did such a nice job on this one. He is an artist, Wang, such an artist. I love Wang. I love Wang until the day I die!

          Book Description

          The problem of greenhouse gas (particularly carbon dioxide) release during power generation in fixed and mobile systems is widely acknowledged. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices offering clean and efficient energy production by the direct conversion of gaseous fuel into electricity. As such, they are under active study for commercial stationary power generation, residential applications and in transportation. The control of fuel cell systems under a variety of environmental conditions and over a wide operating range is a crucial factor in making them viable for extensive use in every-day technology.

          In Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems the application of fuel cells in automotive powertrains is emphasized because of the significance of the contribution to global CO 2 emissions made by ground vehicle propulsion and because of the challenge presented by the accompanying control problems. The authors’ comprehensive control-oriented approach provides:

          • An overview of the underlying physical principles and the main control objectives and difficulties associated with the implementation of fuel cell systems.

          • System-level dynamic models derived from the physical principles of the processes involved.

          • Formulation, in-depth analysis and detailed control design for two critical control problems, namely, the control of the cathode oxygen supply for a high-pressure direct hydrogen fuel cell system and control of the anode hydrogen supply from a natural gas fuel processor system.

          • Multivariable controllers that attenuate restraints resulting from lack of sensor fidelity or actuator authority.

          • Real-time observers for stack variables that confer redundancy in fault detection processes.

          • Examples of the assistance of control analysis in fuel cell redesign and performance improvement.

          • Downloadable SIMULINK® model of a fuel cell for immediate use supplemented by sample MATLAB® files with which to run it and reproduce some of the book plots.

          Primarily intended for researchers and students with a control background looking to expand their knowledge of fuel cell technology, Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems will also appeal to practicing fuel cell engineers through the simplicity of its models and the application of control algorithms in concrete case studies. The thorough coverage of control design will be of benefit to scientists dealing with the electrochemical, materials and fluid-dynamic aspects of fuel cells.

          5 out of 5 stars Review for Control of Fuel Cell Power Systems : Principles, Modeling, Analysis and Feedback Design.......2006-03-24

          A complete book that give to the reader the methodology
          to model and understand the fuel cell dynamics and control.
          The companion software allows deep insight of the modelling and control problem, and the "what-if" analysis.

          1 out of 5 stars Very poor book.......2005-11-16

          This is a book with a series of simplifications and assumptions. I thought that it would help me deal with real control problems of fuel cell power systems. Instead it deals with only linearized models that can be easily solved by applying modern control theory.It is less than an introductory book really poor written.
