My Chinese-America
Eloquently written essays about aspects of Asian American life comprise this collection that looks at how Asian-Americans view themselves in light of America's insensitivities, stereotypes, and expectations. My Chinese-America speaks on masculinity, identity, and topics ranging from Jeremy Lin and immigration to profiling and Asian silences. This essays have an intimacy that transcends cultural boundaries, and casts light on a vital part of American culture that surrounds and influences all of us.
Creative Writing in the Community
Creative Writing in the Community is the firstbook to focus on the practical side of creative writing. Connecting classroomexperiences to community-based projects, it prepares creative writing studentsfor teaching in schools, homeless centres, youth clubs and care homes. Each chapteris packed with easy-to-use resources including: specific lesson plans; case studies of students working with community groups; lists of suitable writing examples; "how to..." sections; examples and theoretical applications of creative writing pedagogy and techniques; reflection questions; writings by workshop participants. Enhanced by contributions from directors,students and teachers at successful public programs, Creative Writing in the Community is more than an essential guidefor students on creative writing courses and leaders of community-basedlearning programs; it is practical demonstration of the value of art insociety.
Handbook of Poylmer-Liquid Interaction Parameters and Solubility Parameters
Now available for the first time, this valuable reference presents polymer solubility parameters and various polymer-liquid interaction parameters in an easy-to-use form. It critically evaluates and comprehensively compiles data from original sources. It presents these quantities polymer-by-polymer, alphabetically by polymer common chemical name, fully cross-referenced by systematic chemical names, alternative names and trade names. This one-of-a-kind handbook summarizes the relationship between the various quantities and their methods of determination. This resource is an absolute must for all who are interested in the chemical industry, specifically polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, applied chemistry, and physical chemistry.

How Apollo Flew to the Moon
Stung by the pioneering space successes of the Soviet Union - in particular, Gagarin being the first man in space, the United States gathered the best of its engineers and set itself the goal of reaching the Moon within a decade. In an expanding 2nd edition of How Apollo Flew to the Moon, David Woods tells the exciting story of how the resulting Apollo flights were conducted by following a virtual flight to the Moon and its exploration of the surface. From launch to splashdown, he hitches a ride in the incredible spaceships that took men to another world, exploring each step of the journey and detailing the enormous range of disciplines, techniques, and procedures the Apollo crews had to mas...
Progress in Reaction Kinetics
Progress in Reaction Kinetics discusses the main themes of chemical kinetics. It covers such topics as the reactions of halogen atoms and methylenes, mercury photosensitized reactions, anionic polymerization, cis trans-isomerisation, and protolytic reactions. The book provides a good illustration of the quantitative rate studies in biochemical systems. The experiments to determine the relative rate constants are shown and analyzed. The process of photosensitization involves absorption of light energy by a strongly absorbing substance. The methods to identify the reactions of carbonyl compounds, organic acids and esters are presented as well as the reactions of alcohols, ethers, and epoxides. The degree of reaction of some haem compounds is explained. A chapter of the book focuses on the kinetic treatment of processes that takes place in a series of steps. Such procedures are called consecutive processes. A sample of these is the rate-determining step approximation. The book will provide useful information to chemists, chemical engineers, students, and researchers.
