It is only natural that Esk, who has both the drawbacks and the advantages of being the son of an ogre and a nymph, is happy to join forces with Chex, a delightfully female cross between a hippogryph and a centaur, when their paths meet on the way to Castle Roogna. When they realise that Volney the Vole has even more pressing worries than theirs, they do not hesitate to drop their own concerns and set off with him to save the Vale of the Vole from the depredations of the demons who have taken up residence there. When they arrive at Castle Roogna, they join Princess Ivy of Xanth, who turns out to be a more than adequate substitute for the Good Magician they had hoped to find. And there will be more allies - an amorous brassie who fancies Esk, a skeleton who can reassemble himself in the most useful shapes and a host of curse fiends, centaurs and ogres. But can they prevail against the malice and magic of the demons?"; top right corner clipped from pre-title page but otherwise perfect copy of this large-format paperback; 287 pages.

While brilliantly successful in explaining and exploiting chemical change, modern chemistry - in academy and factory alike - with its recondite language and symbolism and its associations with pollution and danger, prompts more fear than excitement in the uninitiated bystander. This book seeks to enlighten that bystander: to assess links between theory and practice, to reveal recurrent cycles and themes, and to encourage a heightened awareness of the human dimensions of the chemical sciences which might in turn promote a. better public understanding of chemistry and the modern chemical and pharmaceutical industries."; previous owner's name inside front cover; including appendices, bibliography & index - 744 pages.
