Volume 23 of Reviews in Mineralogy and accompanying MSA short course covers chemical reactions that take place at mineral-water interfaces. We believe that this book describes most of the important concepts and contributions that have driven mineral-water interface geochemistry to its present state. We begin in Chapter 1 with examples of the global importance of mineral-water interface reactions and a brief review of the contents of the entire book. Thereafter, we have divided the book into four sections, including atomistic approaches (Chapters 2- 3), adsorption (Chapters 4-8), precipitation and dissolution (Chapters 9-11), and oxidation-reduction reactions (Chapters 11-14).
This work begins with a boy named Geraldo growing up Sicilian in Rochester, New York, and ends with the author breakfasting with Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House. It is a portrait of what it was like to come of age in the 1930s and 1940s.

Wie kann der Engpassfaktor Vertrieb zugunsten einer Wertorientierung im Versicherungsunternehmen gesteuert werden? Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Fragestellung wurden bereits viele Ansätze zur wertorientierten Steuerung im Versicherungsvertrieb entwickelt, die sich in der Praxis bisher jedoch kaum durchgesetzt haben. Pilgrim setzt in seinem Werk auf das Konzept der Balanced Scorecard (BSC) zur wertorientierten Steuerung des Vertriebs in Versicherungsunternehmen. Nach einer kurzen und prägnanten Darstellung der Kernthemen Wertorientierung, Vertriebssteuerung und BSC entwickelt Pilgrim eine wertorientiert ausgerichtete BSC für den Ausschließlichkeitsvertrieb. Dabei beruft er sich auch auf sein...
Why do some children seem to learn mathematics easily and others slave away at it, learning it only with great effort and apparent pain? Why are some people good at algebra but terrible at geometry? How can people who successfully run a business as adults have been failures at math in school? How come some professional mathematicians suffer terribly when trying to balance a checkbook? And why do school children in the United States perform so dismally in international comparisons? These are the kinds of real questions the editors set out to answer, or at least address, in editing this book on mathematical thinking. Their goal was to seek a diversity of contributors representing multiple view...
Eight poems by Else Lasker-Schüler, translated by Eavan Boland, and a major essay by the translator on the life and times of the author. The poems are excerpted from Lasker-Schüler's 1943 collection, My Blue Piano (Mein Blaues Klavier), which she wrote while living in exile in Jerusalem after fleeing Nazi Germany.
Medical genetics encompasses many different areas, including the clinical practice of doctors, genetic counselors and nutritionists, clinical diagnostic laboratory activities and research on the causes and inheritance of genetic disorders. Examples of conditions that are within the scope of medical genetics include birth defects and dysmorphology, mental retardation, autism, mitochondrial disorders, skeletal dysplasia, connective tissue disorders, cancer genetics, teratogens and prenatal diagnosis. Medical genetics is becoming increasingly relevant for many common diseases. Overlaps with other medical specialties are beginning to emerge, as recent advances in genetics are revealing etiologie...
