Physico-Chemical Properties of Selected Anionic, Cationic and Nonionic Surfactants

blue RP, Elsevier Science Ltd. 1993. (ISBN: 9780444896919). Hardcover, 3.2 x 17.8 x 25.4 cm. Condition good, clean. ref ZKVQ The number of physico-chemical investigations of surfactants in solution, whether aqueous or nonaqueous, has dramatically increased in recent years. However, literature reports on surfactants in solutions are scattered over a plethora of scientific journals and books which differ widely in scope and readership. Such data are often difficult to retrieve because there have been no systematic compilations, with the exception of those for CMCs and for micelle aggregation numbers. The present compilation aims to meet that need by covering, as completely as possible, the physico-chemical properties of selected series of homologous surfactants. These surfactants are in most cases isomerically pure, are well-known, and have been used in numerous academic and industrial studies. The properties include aggregation number, cloud point, CMC, 13C-NMR, correlation length, counterion binding, density, enthalpy of micelle formation, entropy of micelle formation, Gibbs' free energy of micelle formation, head group area, 1C-NRM, hydration number, Krait temperature, melting point, micelle radius, microscopic viscosity, miscibility curve, partial molar volume, phase inversion temperature, refractive index, self-diffusion co-efficient, surface tension, and upper critical temperature. The text also contains two- and three-component phase diagrams of many nonionic surfactants. The solvent is water in most cases; however, some data refer to properties in D20, electrolyte solutions, and nonaqueous solvents. The variables are temperature and concentration. Where possible, the method of measurement is given. Data on the purity of the compounds and the accuracy of the measurement methods are not included, as these can easily be found in the original sources, which mostly date from the period 1970-1991 and are given at the end of each chapter. The Index section contains a compound index, a property index, a symbol index and across index which facilitate easy access to the data. This collection of data should be of use to anyone involved in Colloid and Surface Science, academics as well as industrial workers, and is intended to stimulate further work. Good.

Politics, Geography and Political Geography: A Critical Approach

Upstairs A5, Hodder Arnold. 1995. (ISBN: 9780340567357). Paperback, 22.8 x 15.6 x 1.7 blue. Condition good. This text provides a survey of the whole range of approaches adopted by political geographers and others in studying the relationship between political processes and space, place and territory. The author adopts three principal objectives in making this study: to chart the development of political geography since the end of the nineteenth century; to provide an exegesis of current research and scholarship in the field, stressing both the main areas of empirical enquiry and the characteristic theoretical and methodological approaches adopted; and to discuss the ways in which an understanding of the relationship between geography and politics is central to the study of the relationship between society and space. Drawing on examples from a number of different countries and social systems, the book aims to provide a broad overview of political geography. It examines a range of political processes, institutions and conflicts, and shows how space and time are crucially involved in their development. Topics covered include the formation of modern states and their contemporary restructuring, imperialism and post-colonialism, international relations and the aftermath of the Cold War, and social movements. The author develops and applies a new interpretative perspective in thinking about the relationship between politics and geography. He argues that politics is centrally concerned with issues of discourse, meaning, representation, strategy, authority and identity, and draws on examples of contemporary processes of political change to place these ideas in context.

Men, Masculinities and Health: Critical Perspectives

blue std, Palgrave. 2009. (ISBN: 9780230203129). Paperback, 15.5 x 1.6 x 23.5 cm. Condition good, clean. Men drink too much alcohol, eat unhealthy food and avoid going to the doctors until they are seriously ill. Indeed, some say being masculine is bad for men's health. But is the situation so simple? This deeply engaging book explores both the psychological and sociological factors that affect men and their health. It investigates how notions of 'maleness' impact on the individual's approach to health and take-up of services, and provides clear foundations for best practice in care. Part 1 of the book explores and sets the theoretical scene. It asks why disparate fields have not previously been brought together and what theoretical frameworks could be utilised to assist in this process. Parts 2 and 3 consider empirical work in relation to men, health and illness, providing critical rather than simply descriptive accounts. Bringing together an international collection of contributors, Men, Masculinities and Health provides fresh ideas for practice; creating a fertile terrain for future debate that will excite all those interested in gender issues. Book Description A critical, interdisciplinary and original insight into the psychological and sociological factors that affect men's health, linking theory, empirical research and much-needed debate. Good.
