Book Description
Written by the authors that brought you the best-selling book, Go for No! their next inspiring fable has finally arrived. The Diamond Line is a clever re-imagining of the motivational classic, Acres of Diamonds, by Russell Conwell, first published as a book in 1890. Russell Conwell not only believed it was possible for any person to become rich-he believed it was a person's duty to do so. Furthermore, Conwell felt that each of us is standing in the middle of our acres of diamonds-that everything we need to achieve success and personal wealth is right beneath our feet-if only we are able to recognize it. In The Diamond Line, You will be taken back to an imaginary moment in time before the book was written, having the chance to meet some of the greatest icons in history, including PT Barnum, Andrew Carnegie, Frederick Douglass, and several other interesting and enlightening characters.

Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
When we look at a work of a creative writer it is not enough to examine form, structure and content. The life of a writer offers us glimpses into their world and insights into the history of their time that formed and informed their work. Their experiences are the foundation upon which the writer builds his or her ideas. In Humberto Cintron we find a skilled wordsmith who intimately understands the impact of structure, the emotional nuances of storytelling and how to apply these literary dynamics to communicate the passionate intensity of his intended message.

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
ISBN: 1466896345
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
There's more to me than most people see. Twelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is. She wants her parents to notice that she is growing up. She wants her best friend to like her better than she likes a certain boy. She wants, more than anything, to mush the dogs out to her grandparents' house, by herself, with Roxy in the lead. But sometimes when it's just you, one mistake can have frightening consequences . . . And when Willow stumbles, it takes a surprising group of friends to help her make things right again. Using diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Helen Frost tells the moving story of Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each diamond carry the reader further, into feelings Willow doesn't reveal even to herself. Diamond Willow is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Nanodiamonds
Author: Jean-Charles Arnault
Publisher: William Andrew
ISBN: 0323430325
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
Nanodiamonds: Advanced Material Analysis, Properties and Applications illustrates the complementarity of specific techniques to fully characterize nanodiamonds from their diamond core (crystalline structure, defects, sp2 carbon, impurities, strain) to their surface (surface chemistry, stability of surface groups, reactivity, surface charge, colloidal properties). The relationship between physical and chemical parameters sits at the heart of what this book is about. Recent advances in the synthesis of nanodiamonds either by HPHT or detonation are covered, along with extended characterization of the core and surface of nanodiamonds, focusing on the most advanced experimental tools developed for nanoscale diagnosis. Each technique presented includes presentation of both principles and applications. This combination of advanced characterizations offers readers a better understanding of the relationship that exists between physical and chemical parameters of nanodiamonds and their properties. In particular, the role of structural defects or chemical impurities is illustrated. Toxicity of nanodiamonds for cells is also discussed, as It is an essential issue for their bioapplications. Final sections in the book cover the main promising new advances and applications of nanodiamonds, the formation of hybrids, and their use in polymer and oil composites. - Provides a focused analysis of the relationship between the physical, chemical parameters, and properties of nanodiamonds - Allows the reader to better understand the material characterization of nanodiamonds and how they can be most successfully used - Presents R&D scientists and engineers with the information they need to understand how nanodiamonds can be used to create more efficient products - Includes novel applications, for example, the formation of hybrids based on nanodiamonds, that are covered in detail

All-carbon Composites and Hybrids
Author: Oxana V. Kharissova
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1839162724
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
All-carbon composites are carbon materials reinforced with other carbon materials, typically nanostructures such as carbon nanofibers or nanotubes. There are a large number of all-carbon materials, many of which demonstrate unique and useful sets of properties. Combining and hybridising different carbon materials and nanomaterials together also opens up a number of possibilities to fine-tune the materials for desirable combinations of these properties. All-carbon Composites and Hybrids provides a broad overview of these materials including discussions of synthesis, characterisation and the applications of a wide variety of all-carbon composite materials. This will be a useful volume for any researchers interested in carbon and nanotechnology.
