On the other hand it is empirically found that only 3 among 54 chemistry educators, acting on different of the Swedish educational system in the late 1980's, recognise 1 mol as a SI unit for the base physical quantity 'amount of substance'. This thesis aims to provide an answer to the question: Why have the educators not attained the 1971 convention?". Very Good+ .

The Black Hole War My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics

New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2008. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0316016403. Light tanning of pages ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; 6.375 X 1.5 X 9.5 inches; 470 pages; "What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did, and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn't recognize the import of Hawking's claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t'Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics. The Black Hole War is the thrilling story of their united effort to reconcile Hawking's revolutionary theories of black holes with their own sense of reality -- effort that would eventually result in Hawking admitting he was wrong, paying up, and Susskind and t'Hooft realizing that our world is a hologram projected from the outer boundaries of space.".

Our Own Devices the Past and Future of Body Technology

New York: Knopf, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0375407227. Remainder dot bottom page edges ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Stated first edition ; 7 X 1.25 X 9.75 inches; 314 pages; "Once we step on the treadmill of progress, it’s hard to step off. Yet Edward Tenner shows that human ingenuity can be applied in self-preservation as well, and he sheds light on the ways in which the users of commonplace technology surprise designers and engineers, as when early typists developed the touch method still employed on today’s keyboards. And he offers concrete advice for reaping benefits from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without. Although dependent on these objects, we can also use them to liberate ourselves. This delightful and instructive history of invention shows why National Public Radio dubbed Tenner “the philosopher of everyday technology.”". Very Good+ in Near Fine dust jacket .
