Book Description
RICHARD STERLING SAWYER has now finally published Wildcatting ~ The Hills of Kettleman, an original 1936 manuscript written by his Grandfather, Ted Sterling, and his Great Aunt, Eloise Sterling Hirt. This unknown manuscript, WILDCATTING, was found in an old dusty file box upon Ted's death in 2001. Eloise was Ted's older sister and a prolific writer and actress, having help formed the original Pasadena Playhouse Theater in the 1920's. Ted was a successful attorney and land-man for The Texas Company (TEXACO) and previously involved with these oilmen and the companies who drilled the first big successful oil well in the Kettleman Hills in 1928. This is a rare Novel with engaging characters that you will not be able to put down until the final chapter is absorbed. A beautiful 'rags to riches' love story that reads like a historic movie script while the real vision of life's wheeling and dealing is played out in 1928 Los Angeles, New York, Santa Barbara, Montecito, San Francisco, Hanford and The Kettleman Hills. These are accurate descriptions of the actual places and people's attitudes of the time. Eloise has her own writing style and dramatic force that keeps you engaged in every facet of her storytelling while Ted's knowledge of the local geology and wildcat oil business is uniquely insightful. WILDCATTING ~ THE HILLS OF KETTLEMAN is filled with historic photos, details about the authors and an epilogue section with historical notes. This insightful story and theatrical writing combines to produce a tale of love and intrigue about one of California's great historic discoveries.

Book Description
To truly know a soul one must perceive it from the inside out. Every soul is a labyrinth and a riddle. A soul is a collection of fragments, moments and memories glittering like jewels upon a web. Every piece has connections to all the others. This is the journey of a soul. An ancient soul, broken and forgotten, lost in dream and torment. Bit by bit, one tiny fragment at a time, the soul begins to awaken and remember. A shattered man regains consciousness in a filthy New York City alley. Tossed by the winds of chaos, a mindless, starving animal without a memory. Stumbling blindly through the bowels of a massive city in search of himself and the light. And, somewhere, whispering coyly in the darkness, an oath of vengeance awaits recollection.

Author: R.C. Bradt Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media ISBN: 1489913254 Category : Science Languages : en Pages : 305
Book Description
As the first major reference on glass fractography, contributors to this volume offer a comprehensive account of the fracture of glass as well as various fracture surface topography. Contributors discuss optical fibers, glass containers, and flatglass fractography. In addition, papers explore fracture origins; the growth of the original flaws of defects; and macroscopic fracture patterns from which fracture patterns evolve. This volume is complete with photographs and schematics.

Book Description
This handbook provides comprehensive treatment of the current state of glass science from the leading experts in the field. Opening with an enlightening contribution on the history of glass, the volume is then divided into eight parts. The first part covers fundamental properties, from the current understanding of the thermodynamics of the amorphous state, kinetics, and linear and nonlinear optical properties through colors, photosensitivity, and chemical durability. The second part provides dedicated chapters on each individual glass type, covering traditional systems like silicates and other oxide systems, as well as novel hybrid amorphous materials and spin glasses. The third part features detailed descriptions of modern characterization techniques for understanding this complex state of matter. The fourth part covers modeling, from first-principles calculations through molecular dynamics simulations, and statistical modeling. The fifth part presents a range of laboratory and industrial glass processing methods. The remaining parts cover a wide and representative range of applications areas from optics and photonics through environment, energy, architecture, and sensing. Written by the leading international experts in the field, the Springer Handbook of Glass represents an invaluable resource for graduate students through academic and industry researchers working in photonics, optoelectronics, materials science, energy, architecture, and more.

Book Description
A comprehensive reference on the properties, selection, processing, and applications of the most widely used nonmetallic engineering materials. Section 1, General Information and Data, contains information applicable both to polymers and to ceramics and glasses. It includes an illustrated glossary, a collection of engineering tables and data, and a guide to materials selection. Sections 2 through 7 focus on polymeric materials--plastics, elastomers, polymer-matrix composites, adhesives, and sealants--with the information largely updated and expanded from the first three volumes of the Engineered Materials Handbook. Ceramics and glasses are covered in Sections 8 through 12, also with updated and expanded information. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
