Excellent reference work and study guide for magnetism.......2003-08-11

This is an immensely important compilation of the state-of-
the-art quantum electronic interpretation of the physics of magnetism. Doctor O'Handley has masterfully organized his lecture notes and has produced a magnum opus.
I had the extraordinary good fortune of attending his lecture series at the University of Florida in 1994. The class was primarily for materials engineering graduate students, but I was allowed to take the class because I was doing research in magnetic devices for electrical engineering. Even though the physics involved was at a higher level than I was used to, Dr. O'Handley was able to communicate the necessary concepts in a lucid manner.
His intelligible explanations in the lecture hall are repeated and expanded in this well-crafted volume.
If you are interested in the science of magnetism from an electrical engineering, or material science, perspective, I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing this book.

Modern Magnetic Materials: Principles and Applications.......2001-12-01

This book will take you from basic academic knowledge about magnetism to a proficient understanding of the most recent advances in magnetic materials and devices. This book is well very organized and written in a concise manner. Dr. O'Handley has earned our congratulations on both scope and quality for this book. Graduate students, researchers, engineers, theorists, experimenters and other newcomers to the field will find this book an excellent entry to the field as well as a handy reference. The book is one of the best text in the area of applied magnetism.
This invaluable book should certainly be present in the library of any department or institute carrying out magnetism R&D work. In other words, it deserves to be on the shelves of any lab or research institute library. I strongly recommend this book to every student and teacher who intends studying or teaching magnetism.

Modern Magnetic Materials.......2000-04-04

This is the book which contains all about the magnetism practically in use. From the basic theory of magnetism to the practical use, e.g., magnetic recording materials, surface and thin films. This is the best book treating magnetism practically. But this deos not contain the rigorous thoery using second quantization, e.g., Hubbard Hamiltonian and Anderson Impurity. That is, this book is the introduction for graduate students majoring in experimental condensed matter physicis - materials and materials science for practical use.

Book Description

While Mass Transfer Operations is a required course in every undergraduate chemical engineering program in the world, there does not exist a comprehensive text on the subject that is specifically tailored to the undergraduate reader. Principles and Modern Applications of Mass Transfer Operations responds to this need, providing a thorough, accessible text that presents the latest advances in the science as well as sets of targeted questions that challenge students’ knowledge.

The focus throughout Jaime Benitez’s peerless study is on making the student consider computation from the start of a mass transfer dilemma. Twenty-five to thirty problems at the end of each chapter ensure that readers will remain actively engaged with the material. Principles incorporates examples of computational software such as Mathcad 2001, Matlab®, Mathematica, and Aspen Graphics, and also includes an ftp site that offers problems for each of these software applications as well as a Solutions Manual. Chapters encompass:

-Fundamentals of mass transfer
-Convective mass transfer
-Interphase mass transfer
-Equipment for gas-liquid mass transfer operations
-Absorption and stripping
-Distillation
-Liquid-liquid extraction

Ideal for a first course in mass transfer operations, this text will also prove valuable to chemical and environmental engineers, researchers, and university faculty.

Excellent undergraduate mass transfer book.......2005-09-23

This book is amazing! The way the author presents the theory, formulas and applications followed by an example is an effective way to understand the material. Another good thing about the book is that at the start of every section there are objectives which gives you a scope of what are the themes that you must learn. This book is very practical, specially in chapters of absorption, desorption (packed, sieve tray) and distillation columns. What makes this book an amazing one is the integration of the mass transfer phenomena with the mathetical computer program, MathCAD to solve tedious problems. The author presents MathCAD routines in the chapters and also in some of the appendixes. All you have to do is copy those routines and you are instantly solving problems. This is very useful in the design of separation columns (chapters 4 - 6) and when calculating diffusion coefficients (chapter 1). This book is as great as its author, believe me I took some courses with him, unfortunetly I couldn't take mass transfer with him. =(

Excellent mass transfer book.......2003-07-11

If your program splits transport phenomena into separate fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer classes, this would be an excellent text for the mass transfer class. The author does an excellent job of explaning the diference between mass transfer coefficients and diffusion coefficients compared to the generic tranport phenomena texts. He also integrates some of the recent developments in the literature into his treatise on mass transfer. Finally and the most interesting aspect of the book is the integration of a computer algebra system, specifically Mathcad into the problem solving process. Overall an excellent text.

A very didactic approach to mass-transfer operations........2002-12-21

The author of this book takes a very effective approach to introduce the reader to the complexities of mass-transfer operations design. From the very beginning of the book, the author guides the reader into a hands-on approach to calculations using MathCad programs to simplify tedious calculations that are usually a roadblock to the learning process. To make it even more convenient, an ftp site is available (see the Wiley.com page for the book) from which you can download the MathCad example programs and the Solutions Manual. I think that this book will soon become the standard textbook for mass-transfer operations.

Book Description

The fourth edition of PRINCIPLES OF MODERN CHEMISTRY, which has dominated the honors and high mainstream general chemistry courses, is a substantial revision that maintains the rigor of previous editions but reflects the exciting modern developments taking place in chemistry today. The text provides a unique approach to learning chemical principles that emphasizes the total scientific process--from observation to application--placing general chemistry into a complete perspective for serious-minded science and engineering students. Chemical principles are illustrated by the use of modern materials, comparable to equipment found in the scientific industry. Students are therefore exposed to chemistry and its applications beyond the classroom. This text is perfect for those instructors who are looking for a more advanced general chemistry textbook.

Customer Reviews:

Who really needs this book?!?.......2007-04-23

I am really not sure for whom this book is intended. It presents things in an introductory tone, then proceeds to explain concepts as if the reader had a degree in physics, chemistry, and math.

There are three main problems with this book:
First, the book uses math to justify concepts, rather than the concepts justifying the math. Mathematical models are supposed to clarify and propose a logical way of explaining observed phenomena. Instead, Oxtoby will explain physical processes by describing the way in which a math formula or graph is constructed. While this refers back to historically founded rules of chemistry, it does nothing to explain the concept to a reader who has never seen the principles before.
The second problem is that there are barely ANY solved problems in the chapter text. Many of the end-chapter problems have no similarity at all to the few solved problems preceding them. Even intelligent students will be left confused by problems that lack any clear explanation.
The third problem is that the book is simply not well written. Like another reviewer said, make sure you have had a good nights sleep before reading Oxtoby's text. Explanations are often convoluted and do not try to build complexity from simply worded basic principles. In a way, the text should be twice as long, in order to clearly cover all the concepts presented.

Basically, this is an introductory chemistry text for students who have already had introductory chem.

Horribly written book........2007-04-23

The concepts of this book are horribly constructed in convoluted sentences. Oxtoby may have been a genius, but he certainly could not teach, nor could he write in a manner that is both complete and simple.

Also, this book is full of backwards logic wherein Oxtoby continually argues that chemical principles are true because a graph or math equation says so, rather than explaining how the principle (through experimental evidence) leads to a mathematical understanding. And although this may "offer" a more advanced, or complete analysis of these properties than other books may, he consistently fails to provide an adequate fundamental explanation before going further.

This should have been ghost-written by someone more competent in clear, English prose.

review.......2006-09-01

the book was in better condition that i thought! (although it was the wrong edition which was an honest mistake on my part) this seller really cares about her customers and is an honest and trustable person! thank you!

It deserves 0 - if not negative stars.......2006-01-22

Note: I'm 18. I am using this book for my Chemistry class at Berkeley and I must say that this is a terrible book. It makes no sense and the problems in the back are very difficult because reading the book will not help you answer them. The book does cover a lot, however, because I cannot find a reference book to help me understand this book that covers the same material.

Great chemistry textbook for college freshmen.......2005-03-05

Though many people would find this book distasteful, it is an extremely good source of information for both basic and intermediate chemistry. It is obviously not a book any student can handle, but with a good background in basic chemistry, the book will take the student a long way down the path of chemistry. The book uses colorful pictures and graphs to show the reader what the chemistry looks like in real life rather than just teaching the bare concept.

Chemistry is not about doing word problems; it is about actually seeing the results and learning to analyze these results. If you prefer to just get through chemistry and "learn" how to do problems without learning the real applications, choose another book. If you actually want to learn chemistry, this is the perfect book for you. As opposed to the average textbook that drags a subject matter on, this book is very concise and moves on after showing a derivation of an equation or one sample problem. Obviously this book may seem hard and seemingly impossible to comprehend at times, but a good recommendation is to get enough sleep before reading the book because it is much denser than other introduction to chemistry textbooks.

Book Description

This book is devoted to the basic variational principles of mechanics, namely the Lagrange--D’Alembert differential variational principle and the Hamilton integral variational principle. These two variational principles form the basis of contemporary analytical mechanics, and from them the body of classical dynamics can be deductively derived as a part of physical theory.

In recent years variational techniques have evolved as powerful tools for the study of linear and nonlinear problems in conservative and nonconservative dynamical systems, as is emphasized in this book. Presented here are a wide range of possibilities for applying variational principles to numerous problems in analytical mechanics, including the Noether Theorem for finding conservation laws of conservative and nonconservative dynamical systems, the application of the Hamilton--Jacobi and field methods suitable for nonconservative dynamical systems, the variational approach to modern optimal control theory, and the application of variational methods to the stability and optimization of elastic rod theory.

Mathematical prerequisites are kept to a minimum, and the exposition is intended to be suggestive rather than mathematically rigorous. Each chapter begins with widely understood mathematical principles and unfolds systematically toward more advanced topics. Examples and novel applications are presented throughout to clarify and enhance the theory.

An Introduction to Modern Variational Techniques in Mechanics and Engineering will serve a broad audience of students, researchers, and professionals in analytical mechanics, applied variational calculus, optimal control, physics, and mechanical and aerospace engineering. The book may be used in graduate and senior undergraduate dynamics courses in engineering, applied mathematics, and physics departments, or it may also serve as a self-study reference text.
