Biologically functional ceramic materials have been known about for several decades, like phosphate cements and gypsum, and they are within the zeroth generation. Modern and artificially synthesized bioceramics include amorphous materials in the Bioglass® family that were developed in the early 1970's and derivative glass ceramics such as Bioverit® and Cerabone A-W® that came in 1980's. They are from the 2nd generation of materials, and mostly applicable to bone replacement or bone defect fillers. Since the late 1990's, newer technologies have been introduced to the biologically functional material fields; they are the syntheses of organic-inorganic hybrids of micro- and macroscopic scales as well as nano-scales, organic fragment-covered ceramic particles of varied sizes, with light-controlling abilities to modify the frequency of light, in addition synthesis of high strength and high-tribological durability that had not been available before. With the advent of additive manufacturing technology employing lasers, electron beams, and printers, clinical materials of complicated porous structures are now easily prepared. These materials are of the 3rd generation. This book will cover almost all kinds of such 3rd generation ceramic and ceramic-related biomaterials. This book conveys the current state-of-the-art on the science and technology of bioceramics, from nano-size dots or particles to macro-scale architectures, of a wide range of constitutions including quantum dots with peptide fragments, meso-scale therapeutic particles designed to involve drugs or genes, mesoporous organic-inorganic hybrids, nano-structured oxide layers on metals and alloys. <ul> <li>Comprehensively covers all aspects (research/experimental and commercial products) related to the latest progresses in bioceramic science, technology and applications, with emphasis on nanobioceramics</li> <li>Pulls together a broad range of materials, concepts, and technologies based on nanomaterials</li> <li>Features novel preparation procedures like additive manufacturing (3-D printing and related techniques) that have also been introduced and practiced for forming complicated architectures</li> <li>Features innovative 3rd generation ceramic and ceramic-related biomaterials</li> </ul>

Folk Tales of Old Japan

Shirane, Mitsuo

From a reviewer:"This is the first book I ever used for learning Japanese and it is still my favorite. It is a bit old so some words and expressions are outdated, but the vast majority of the content is used even today. It teaches you some 450 Kanji-words (not individual Kanji) and a vocabulary of around 2000 words. It uses Japanese script from the start in the dialogues to practice reading, the grammar is well explained in English. In the first 18 chapters all exercises are written in romanization only, so that you will master the speaking aspect first. In the last 12 chapters all exercises are written in Japanese script as well, including the instructions. The exercises are quite varied and get increasingly challenging. The book covers about the same as 'Japanese for Everyone' and 'Genki 1 &amp; 2'. There is actually an intermediate-level book also available by the same authors called 'Intermediate Japanese: an integrated approach' by Noboku Mizutani. They have also written an advanced reader called 'Nihongo through newspaper articles'. So all three books is a Basics-to-Advanced set."

The 634 pages are crammed full of very useful Japanese grammatical patterns explained in plain English with plenty of examples. Everything is organized alphabetically for quick reference. If you are a beginner, in my opinion, this book would be one of the best purchases you can make to help with your Japanese studies.
