Product Description: A story that combines a memorable record of everyday life in a traditional English country village with a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. Can two old men outwit the forces of bureaucracy stacked against them? Can it be that the spirit of a maiden burned at the stake for witchcraft in the Middle Ages still has the power to influence events? Do memories of ancient beliefs still lie hidden in the minds of those whose ancestors trace back for untold centuries...read more

Today, scientists in many fields are expressing considerable interest in non-linearity and the ideas of oscillations and chaos. Chemical reactions provide perfect examples of these phenomena. This book is an excellent introduction to the area of nonlinear phenomena in chemical kinetics that involve chemical feedback such as chain branching, autocatalysis, and self-heating. The emphasis is on physical and pictorial representation, and on identifying those gross features which are essential. The experimental conditions under which such behavior will occur can be predicted using simple mathematical recipes, and these are also included. Readers will find full discussions of long-lived oscillations for autocatalytic or exothermic reactions in closed vessels and stationary states, bistability, and oscillations in continuous flow reactors and diffusion cells. Other topics considered include chemical wave propagation, pattern selection and formation, heterogeneous reactions, complex oscillations, quasiperiodicity, and chemical chaos, both forced and spontaneous. The second part of the book describes actual experimental systems, such as the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction, and include discussion of the behavior of important gas-phase reactions. This volume is an ideal sourcebook of applied problems for graduate courses in dynamical systems, advanced chemical kinetics, and chemical reactor engineering, as well as for research workers in physical chemistry, and mathematicians, biologists, physicists, and physiologists.

Product Description: This book will use practical exercises in easy stages to help you learn the rules you need to understand. It is not so much a reference volume as a complete and hands-on course in drawing, suitable for beginner and improver alike...read more
