The long-awaited third installment in Theodore Gray's iconic "Elements" trilogy. The first two titles, Elements and Molecules, have sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide. With Reactions bestselling author Theodore Gray continues the journey through our molecular and chemical world that began with the tour de force The Elements and continued with Molecules. In The Elements, Gray gave us a never-before-seen, mesmerizing photographic view of the 118 elements in the periodic table. In Molecules, with the same phenomenal photographic acumen, plus beautifully rendered computer generated graphics, he showed us how the elements combine to form the content that makes up our universe, from table salt to oxygen to the panoply of colors and smells that surround us. At last, we've reached Reactions, in which Gray once again puts his photography and storytelling to work demonstrating how molecules interact in ways that are essential to our very existence. The book begins with a brief recap of elements and molecules and then goes on to explain important concepts the characterize a chemical reaction, including Energy, Entropy, and Time. It is then organized by type of reaction including chapters such as "Fantastic Reactions and Where to Find Them," "On the Origin of Light and Color," "The Boring Chapter," in which we learn about reactions such as paint drying, grass growing, and water boiling, and "The Need for Speed," including topics such as weather, ignition, and fire.

Compressors find widespread use in many industrial applications, but it was the advent of the jet engine which gave a great boost to its development. The aircraft engine application continues to provide the pressure for continual development in performance. This book provides an up-to-date treatment of the subject, assessing ideas and approaches which were previously dispersed into inaccessible reports and papers or else inside individual companies. As well as outlining modern measurement and computational techniques, it uses the results of these to explain and illustrate the ideas presented. It is aimed at engineers in the turbomachinery industry worldwide, as well as researchers in industry and university. It should also be useful for students taking specialist courses in turbomachinery and fluid mechanics.

"...John C. Mitchell's Wood Boats of Leelanau A Photographic Journal captures the reader with the compelling history of wood boats - all manner of them from dugout canoes to mackinaw boats, schooners, fishing tugs, sloops, passenger steamers, mail boats, life saving rescue boats, pleasure craft, speed boats, and others. Mitchell collaborated with Leelanau County high school students, who acted as research and writing assistants, to thoroughly investigate the local marine heritage in historical records and newspapers. This wonderful, 178-page book is richly illustrated, beautifully designed, and indexed. It is a valuable reference tool disguised as a coffee table display."
