Explosives
Author: Rudolf Meyer
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527617035
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
This world-famous work has been enlarged and updated without tampering with its tried and tested format. Around 500 alphabetically ordered, monographic entries consider the physicochemical properties, production methods and safe applications of over 120 explosive chemicals, while discussing 70 fuels, additives and oxidizing agents and describing the relevant test methods. The extensive thermodynamic data has been thoroughly updated and now also provided on a CD-ROM compiled by the Fraunhofer Institute of Chemical Technology. This excerpt from the ICT Thermodynamical Database not only includes additional thermodynamic data, and references to further reading, but also features enhanced search facilities. Other key features include a 1,500-entry combined index and glossary with terms and abbreviations in English, French and German, conversion tables and numerous literature references. A handy reference for explosive experts and also for translators, public authorities and patent lawyers. From reviews of previous editions: '... This wealth of information and an index that comprises some 1500 keywords and several conversion tables make this a unique source of knowledge for anybody working with explosives.' (Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics)

Illustrated Guide to Astronomical Wonders
Author: Robert Bruce Thompson
Publisher: Maker Media, Inc.
ISBN: 1449310265
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
With the advent of inexpensive, high-power telescopes priced at under $250, amateur astronomy is now within the reach of anyone, and this is the ideal book to get you started. The Illustrated Guide to Astronomical Wonders offers you a guide to the equipment you need, and shows you how and where to find hundreds of spectacular objects in the deep sky -- double and multiple stars as well as spectacular star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. You get a solid grounding in the fundamental concepts and terminology of astronomy, and specific advice about choosing, buying, using, and maintaining the equipment required for observing. The Illustrated Guide to Astronomical Wonders is designed to be used in the field under the special red-colored lighting used by astronomers, and includes recommended observing targets for beginners and intermediate observers alike. You get detailed start charts and specific information about the best celestial objects. The objects in this book were chosen to help you meet the requirements for several lists of objects compiled by The Astronomical League (http://www.astroleague.org) or the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (http://www.rasc.ca): Messier Club. Binocular Messier Club Urban Observing Club Deep Sky Binocular Club Double Star Club RASC Finest NGC List Completing the list for a particular observing club entitles anyone who is a member of the Astronomical League or RASC to an award, which includes a certificate and, in some cases, a lapel pin. This book is perfect for amateur astronomers, students, teachers, or anyone who is ready to dive into this rewarding hobby. Who knows? You might even find a new object, like amateur astronomer Jay McNeil. On a clear cold night in January 2004, he spotted a previously undiscovered celestial object near Orion, now called McNeil's Nebula. Discover what awaits you in the night sky with the Illustrated Guide to Astronomical Wonders.

Book Description
Death hasn't visited Rowan Rose since it took her mother when Rowan was only a little girl. But that changes one bleak morning, when five horses and their riders thunder into her village and through the forest, disappearing into the hills. Days later, the riders' bodies are found, and though no one can say for certain what happened in their final hours, their remains prove that whatever it was must have been brutal. Rowan's village was once a tranquil place, but now things have changed. Something has followed the path those riders made and has come down from the hills, through the forest, and into the village. Beast or man, it has brought death to Rowan's door once again. Only this time, its appetite is insatiable.

Nightmares that Kill
Author: Jean-Pierre Plouffe
Publisher: Osmora Incorporated
ISBN: 2765912106
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Nightmares that Kill A short while after being accepted as a student at New York University, Ted Harris, a Canadian, replaces a sick friend at his workplace, thus violating the conditions of his student’s visa. To avoid being expulsed from the USA, he joins the Marine Corps which implies taking courses on ‘Military Strategy and The Use of Explosives’ in addition to ‘Basic Training.’ As a result of a Presidential decision, Ted is precipitated into a long-lasting confrontation with the North Vietnamese Secret Service Commander. Nguyen Quang Hung, a South Vietnamese Special Forces Officer, becomes Ted’s teammate in various undercover operations. Ted witnesses his fellow soldiers being turned into human torches, stabbed by falling bamboo traps, shot or beheaded. Ted is overwhelmed by guilt building nightmares—his dead fellow soldiers asking him if his survival is fair when they had to pay the ultimate price. From one skirmish to another across Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, Ted and Hung keep crossing swords with an anonymous general called ‘General Shadow’ by the Americans. Eventually, Ted and Hung are captured and tortured. They narrowly escape death. The illusive General Shadow, in his spiteful will to defeat Ted at all costs, gets his fiancée executed. Ted is overwhelmed by his recurring nightmares which gradually he cannot distinguish from reality. After barely surviving the green jungle of Vietnam, is Ted going to be overcome by his nightmares of the jungle?
