Best Plastics Chemical Engineering

In her quirky and humorous style--well known to the readers of her popular blog, My Plastic-Free Life --Terry provides personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and personal solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. In this important and enjoyable book, Beth Terry walks the reader through her trials and travails and shows what the average person can do to rid themselves of plastic. This book is inspirational and has helped me kick my plastic habit not only when shopping but throughout my daily life.” ( Congressman Steve Cohen, Tennessee ). But Beth Terry dared to imagine, and with hard work, humor and lots of trial and error—turns out there’s no easy way to make your own liquid hand soap—she broke the plastic habit. With sass and intelligence, the anti-plastic crusader Beth Terry guides readers toward the road less consumptive, offering practical advice and moral support while making a convincing case that individual actions to lighten our environmental impact do matter.” ( Elizabeth Royte, author, Garbage Land and Bottlemania ). This book makes it so much easier!” ( Linda Ronstadt, musician, Plastic Pollution Coalition member ). Anyone who reads this book will be motivated to follow her lead.” ( Jack Johnson, musician, cofounder of the Ko¯kua Hawai’i Foundation ). It is that simple.” ( Daniella Dimitrova Russo, cofounder and executive director, Plastic Pollution Coalition ).

A comprehensive source, the book features discussions of the interplay between thermodynamic and kinetic factors in multiphase materials, analytical and numerical methods for predicting thermoelastic and transport properties of multiphase materials, mechanical properties under large deformation, and influence of interfaces via simulations. "The third edition of this book which has been much revised and expanded, provides an excellent description of the latest breakthroughs in the methodology of prediction of the key physical and chemical properties of polymers and will be of great value in the design of 'new' polymeric materials."

By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe. Now with a new chapter, The Box tells the dramatic story of how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur turned containerization from an impractical idea into a phenomenon that transformed economic geography, slashed transportation costs, and made the boom in global trade possible. Winner of the 2007 Bronze Medal in Finance/Investment/Economics, Independent Publisher Book Awards. Shortlisted for the 2006 Financial Times /Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. Honorable Mention for the 2006 John Lyman Book Award, Science and Technology category, North American Society for Ocean History. One of Financial Times (FT.com) Best Business Books of 2013 (chosen by guest critic Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft). "One of the most significant, yet least noticed, economic developments of the last few decades [was] the transformation of international shipping. The idea of containerization was simple: to move trailer-size loads of goods seamlessly among trucks, trains and ships, without breaking bulk. Along the way, even the most foresighted people made mistakes and lost millions. --Virginia Postrel, The New York Times [See full review http://bit.do/Box-NYT-Postrel]. "Like much of today's international cargo, Marc Levinson's The Box arrives 'just in time.'. It is a tribute to the box itself that far-off places matter so much to us now: It has eased trade, sped up delivery, lowered prices and widened the offering of goods everywhere. "By artfully weaving together the nuts and bolts of what happened at which port with the grand sweep of economic history, Levinson has produced a marvelous read for anyone who cares about how the interconnected world economy came to be." [I]t shows vividly how resistance to technological change caused shipping movements to migrate away from the Hudson river to other East Coast ports." illustrates clearly how great risks are taken by entrepreneurs when entrenched interests and government regulators conspire against them. Even after these opponents are dispatched, technological and economic uncertainty plague the entrepreneur just as much as the vaunted 'first-mover advantage' blesses him, perhaps more. owes its exponential growth to something utterly ordinary and overlooked, says author Marc Levinson: the metal shipping container.... spins yarns of the men who fought to retain the old On the Waterfront ways and of those who made the box ubiquitous."

Topics also include mass transport, momentum transport and energy transport, which are presented at three different scales: molecular, microscopic and macroscopic.

Many advances have been made in understanding and controlling and developing new ceramic processes and products.
