From the supplier: Soil penetrometer readings were performed on flooded soils of west central Illinois beginning in the fall of 1993 to address questions regarding the effects of the 1993 Midwest floods on soil physical characteristics. The results showed that Scott County is the only place where slight compaction may have been caused by floodwater. The area was under water with greater depths for a longer period of time compared to other areas. A substudy in Adams County showed that flooding did not alleviate previous compaction.

"Everything there is to know about organic pigments"

Revised and updated, this highly acclaimed work, now in its third edition, remains the most comprehensive source of information available on synthetic organic pigments.

The book provides up-to-date information on synthesis, reaction mechanisms, physical and chemical properties, test methods, and applications of all industrially produced organic pigments on the world market.

Standardized methods have been used to obtain the data, thus facilitating comparison between pigments, making this an invaluable book for chemists, engineers, colorists, and technicians.

"Presentation throughout is of the highest quality and the volume must now become the standard reference text in this important area of colouring matters."
—Dyes and Pigments

"This is a very wide-ranging reference work ... it would be difficult to find a topic in this field not covered by this book."
—Ecochem

Customer Reviews:

A must have for anybody using industrial organic pigments.......2001-10-16

I am a Color Manager for one of the worlds largest paint companies and even though I have been working with pigments for 15 years I have found W. Herbst & K. Hunger's "Industrial Organic Pigments" to be a great reference book which I wouldn't want to miss anymore.
It contains information on almost all of the currently available organic pigments, including chemical structures, properties and much helpful information to each of them.
It is full of information that one needs to make educated decisions on the use of organic pigments and their suitability for the intended purpose.
It is well worth the comparably high price, as this book will save you hours and hours by providing information that one would have to "hunt-down" from suppliers or other books. Highly recommended.

Book Description

Eagles and Canaries is a collection of funny and insightful stories about men who yearn unsuccessfully for women. The problem is these men are under the illusion that all women fall into one of two categories, those who are out for a wild time at the man's expense and those who are looking for a husband first and a good time second. It is a world that if you already know quite a great deal about the chances are you need help yourself. It is written by a man who has finally learned that women are highly complex beings, far beyond the comprehension of mere human males. It is the book for the air flight across the country, the ocean voyage to New Zealand, or the weekend at Aunt Martha and Uncle Jason's.

Eagles and Canaries Review
011707

"BRISK and SLAPPING" describes this collection of yarns. Deceptive sci-fi and
brief visits with many old friends from previous works by Hall make this a quick read.
Some stores are slices from other stories , providing missing pieces and explanations.
Although these shorts can certainly stand alone, readers of other Wesley Hall books will
find them particularly intriguing.

Book Description

This sixth volume follows soldiers of the 1st SS LAH and 2nd SS Das Reich Panzer Division in combat during the Battle of Kursk, July 1943.

Printed on deluxe European semi-matte art paper for unparalleled photographic reproduction, each page literally "pulls" you into the images, making you feel as though you are a part of the action. This documentary style series presents the photographs in the actual sequence in which they were taken, creating a visual diary unlike anything previously published on the subject.

Customer Reviews:

Waffen SS at Kursk.......2007-07-09

These books are an excellent series. Some great in action photos and a great many of individual shots of Waffen SS soldiers and Soviet prisoners taken during the battle. These are not the usual heroic shots but of normal men and they are very haunting. To see SS men and Soviets as real soldiers and real men and not the stereotypical view we are used to seeing was as I said a very haunting experience. There are some who may find that very boring as they want photos of panzers racing across fields of burning tanks maybe disappointed. Still there are some great shots of armour, half tracks and artillery are included for those who are looking for a kit to build. If you're a serious historian who is looking for something a little deeper than shots of tanks then buys these books and look into the eyes of these men who fought the battle and are all now gone from the earth. Highly recommended.

Good Series.......2007-02-15

I purchased all 6 books in the series, at the time of writing this I had received Vol 3 to 6, the photos are all in black and white none of which I had seen before quality is good with a basic caption under each photo and a more detail information regarding the photo and what stage of the battle is at the rear.

another great edition to the series.......2007-01-19

anyone who is interested in the kursk battle should get all 5 books. they are worth it.

Patent attorneys: give more to NPR!.......2007-09-28

Surprise: Ira Flatow is as smart as he sounds. This book is very well researched and very well written. Skinny as it is, the book gives a great summary of many famous inventions in a funny and accessible way. Overall, the book is a great homage to the times when the inventor was an eccentric guy in the garage. But I was shocked to find out how far the legends have gone from the real facts. Thanks Ira for setting the record straight.

highly readable and entertaining.......2007-02-18

This is a wonderful little history of inventions book. The writing is in a very reader-friendly style, and even slow readers (like me) will probably breeze through this book in no time. The author does a great job of choosing the most interesting inventions and stories to delve into. The only criticism I have is that the level of detail is often not very deep, i.e. there is typically more indepth coverage found on History Channel documentaries. In fairness though, the book provides a fast, interesting and enjoyable read, and it is likely that more detail would have detracted from those features. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the history of technology and invention.

They All Laughed... From Light Bulbs to Lasers: The Fascinating Stories Behind the Great Inventions That Have Changed Our Lives
by Ira Flatow

Because of my ardent fascination for the history of science & technology, I have amassed a vast collection of books in this genre. Not only I am interested in the life stories of the scientists & inventors, I am also keen to find out how they went about in the pursuit of the original ideas behind their inventions.

I bought this particular one, which showcased lively, colourful stories about some common inventions & discoveries that had unusual beginnings. In fact, it gave some of the surprising revelations behind the world's great inventions:

- Ben Franklin's kite was never struck by lightning;
- Western Union laughed at Bell when he offered them the telephone. They thought it was a trivial toy;
- A melted candy bar led to the invention of the microwave oven;
- Scientists bounced Silly Putty around the halls of their laboratory years before anyone thought to sell it;
- The paper indutsry never would have existed with the wasp;
- The idea for transmitting messages by light (e.g. laser) dates back to the 1880s when Bell designed a contraption called the photophone;
- When Remington introduced the first typewriter, people saw no practical use for it;
- Thomas Edison was not the first to invent the light bulb;

Well, if you have that curiosity streak in you about the sheer eccentricity of the above inventions, just like I do, I guess you just have to go & get hold of this book. I can assure you, this book gives an entertaining & informative tour of the laboratories, institutes & beauty salons of science.

Great way to learn about the history of inventions.......2006-04-15

Great book - easy to read! Even 13 y.o. will enjoy it. It covers the history of most common inventions such as electricity, light bulb, submarine, fax, etc. If you think you already know it, think again. What you learned in school is not necessary the true, take for example Ben Franklin. You were told that he was the one who invented the electricity when he flew the kite and lightning struck it. Nice story for kids that has nothing to do with the real invention of electricity. The book gives historical background to all these inventions. It also tells about the schemes of inventions and legal battles between the inventors.
The book does not go too deep into the specifics of the inventions that makes it borring, but in the same time gives enough of information to get the big picture. I love it for the entertaining, engaging style and the true trivial splendor it spews forth in all directions.
Of course if you are inventor you probably know all of that and the book wouldn't be that big of a deal for you, but if you are not you should definitely read it!

Great History of Technology book.......2006-03-09

Excellent reading. It begins with the history of the invention of the lamp and goes all the way to the invention of the computer. Great historical references and a very unbiased view of the history of all inventions.
My favorite chapter is on the invention of the Television, which has not one but 5 inventors.
Great reading.
