Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - A special issue of the 'Journal of Consumer Psychology' (Volume 9, Number 2, 2000). It discusses issues in consumer psychology; effects of brand local/non-local origin on consumer attitudes in developing countries; and the role of culture in the resolution of information incongruity.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Explore the future of Internet-based Science Journals! Electronic Expectations: Science Journals on the Web chronicles the convergence of financial, technical, and public policy considerations that turned what seemed like science fiction twenty years ago into a library fact of life today. The book shows that while electronic publication greatly speeds issuance of important scientific results of enduring value, it also has the potential to lower the economic threshold at which crank papers and marginal publications can gain a wide, if sadly misled audience, in the short run. In Electronic Expectations, editor Tony Stankus predicts with splendid irony that the electronic journals that will matter the most to genuine scientific progress will be the web versions of long-standing leaders among traditional print journals, whose electronic typesetting requirements gave the web its first format conventions and rules for safe content transmission.Electronic Expectations will empower you to: \* assess the existing print journal system and its prospects for improvement through electronic publishing \* discern the competing motivations and strategies of science researchers, librarians, publishers and journal aggregators in going electronic \* identify the web winners and losers after these first ten years \* understand the underlying business and technological warfare affecting the larger future of the internet Electronic Expectations demonstrates that while scientists invented the web, they no longer control it, and that even the very largest research organizations, libraries, publishers, and journal aggregators, will, to a substantial degree, be at the technological and economic mercy of commercial users of the web.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Tricks and Treats: Sex Workers Write About Their Clients is a book of innovative, insightful, intense accounts by sex workers who look squarely into the eyes of their clients, the sex industry, and society as a whole. This book shifts the layer of scrutiny from the sex industry to the buyers of it. Tricks and Treats is a window into sex workers' lives, and a window from our lives into the lives of the people we encounter, the sex industry, and society as a whole.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This informative book suggests proven, effective strategies to deal with a librarian's most pressing problems. One case study shows how Iowa State University turned a cutback in journals into a new vision of what the library should be, involving a broad-based committee in the project. Other chapters discuss the specifics of budgeting for the unpredictable pricing of electronic materials, the increased demands on library staff, and the challenges of maintaining dual libraries--the electronic and the paper-based--both facing expensive issues of preservation. Through case studies and firsthand experiences, Collection Development in the Electronic Environment provides you with the fresh ideas you need to guide your library into the electronic era.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The only African American playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize twice, Wilson has yet to receive the critical attention that he merits. With 12 original essays, this volume provides a thorough introduction to his body of work.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Computer Simulated Plant Design for Waste Minimization/Pollution Prevention discusses several paths to pollution prevention and waste minimization by introducing the environmental professional to the various simulation programs and the science behind them. Computer simulation packages allow the prediction of complex environmental problems before they occur. The reader will see how to design plants that generate as little pollution as possible with model-based environmental sensitivity analysis.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Your search for the perfect polymers text ends here - with Polymer Science and Technology. By incorporating an innovative approach and consolidating in one volume the fundamentals currently covered piecemeal in several books, this efficient text/reference simplifies the learning of polymer science. The book is divided into three main parts. The first part explains polymer fundamentals. The second part discusses how polymers are prepared from monomers and the transformation of polymers into useful everyday articles. The third part examines the properties and applications of polymers. Polymer Science and Technology presents these aspects of the science in a readily understandable way. It emphasizes basic, qualitative comprehension of concepts, rather than their rote memorization or detailed mathematical analysis. Because the book's primary focus is the ultimate property of the finished polymer product, it also minimizes laborious descriptions of experimental procedures used for the characterization of polymers and, instead, focuses on how various stages involved in the production of the finished product influence its properties. Well-organized, clear-cut, and user-friendly, Polymer Science and Technology is an outstanding text for anyone desiring a better understanding of this challenging subject. TOC:Fundamentals: Historical Development.- Polymerization Mechanisms.- Chemical Bonding and Polymer Structure.- Thermal Transition in Polymers.- Polymer Modification.- Polymer Preparation and Processing Methods: Condensation (Step Reaction) Polymerization.- Chain Reaction (Addition) Polymerization.- Copolymerization.- Polymer Additives and Reinforcements.- Polymer Reaction Engineering.- Unit Operations in Polymer Processing.- Properties and Application: Solution Properties of Polymers.- Mechanical Properties of Polymeric Materials.- Polymer Viscoelasticity.- Polymer Application.- Index.
