A brand-new conceptual look at dynamical thermodynamics
This book merges the two universalisms of thermodynamics and dynamical systems theory in a single compendium, with the latter providing an ideal language for the former, to develop a new and unique framework for dynamical thermodynamics. In particular, the book uses system-theoretic ideas to bring coherence, clarity, and precision to an important and poorly understood classical area of science. The dynamical systems formalism captures all of the key aspects of thermodynamics, including its fundamental laws, while providing a mathematically rigorous formulation for thermodynamical systems out of equilibrium by unifying the theory of mechanics with that of classical thermodynamics.
This book includes topics on nonequilibrium irreversible thermodynamics, Boltzmann thermodynamics, mass-action kinetics and chemical reactions, finite-time thermodynamics, thermodynamic critical phenomena with continuous and discontinuous phase transitions, information theory, continuum and stochastic thermodynamics, and relativistic thermodynamics.
A Dynamical Systems Theory of Thermodynamics develops a postmodern theory of thermodynamics as part of mathematical dynamical systems theory. The book establishes a clear nexus between thermodynamic irreversibility, the second law of thermodynamics, and the arrow of time to further unify discreteness and continuity, indeterminism and determinism, and quantum mechanics and general relativity in the pursuit of understanding the most fundamental property of the universe--the entropic arrow of time.

A remarkable look at the rarest butterflies, how global changes threaten their existence, and how we can bring them back from near-extinction
Most of us have heard of such popular butterflies as the Monarch or Painted Lady. But what about the Fender's Blue? Or the St. Francis' Satyr? Because of their extreme rarity, these butterflies are not well-known, yet they are remarkable species with important lessons to teach us. The Last Butterflies spotlights the rarest of these creatures--some numbering no more than what can be held in one hand. Drawing from his own first-hand experiences, Nick Haddad explores the challenges of tracking these vanishing butterflies, why they are disappearing, and why they are worth saving. He also provides startling insights into the effects of human activity and environmental change on the planet's biodiversity.
Weaving a vivid and personal narrative with ideas from ecology and conservation, Haddad illustrates the race against time to reverse the decline of six butterfly species. Many scientists mistakenly assume we fully understand butterflies' natural histories. Yet, as with the Large Blue in England, we too often know too little and the conservation consequences are dire. Haddad argues that a hands-off approach is not effective and that in many instances, like for the Fender's Blue and Bay Checkerspot, active and aggressive management is necessary. With deliberate conservation, rare butterflies can coexist with people, inhabit urban fringes, and, in the case of the St. Francis' Satyr, even reside on bomb ranges and military land. Haddad shows that through the efforts to protect and restore butterflies, we might learn how to successfully confront conservation issues for all animals and plants.
A moving account of extinction, recovery, and hope, The Last Butterflies demonstrates the great value of these beautiful insects to science, conservation, and people.

Описание:
There are numerous books on the Holy Spirit, but they are based on only a few Bible verses. This study was not done to prove the author's or anyone else's pet assessment of the Holy Spirit. The study was made with the desire to forget all pre-conceived notions and opinions, and discover only God's opinion.
The Bible has 592 verses on the Holy Spirit and God's Spirit. This is the only book of its kind to cover all verses. All other books take a few ideas about the Holy Spirit and elaborate on them. To make sense out of all 592 verses, they were categorized according to what you see in the table of contents in this book (below) the types of people affected by the Holy Spirit.
Within each category, are sub-categories, usually based on how the Holy Spirit connected with each person, and how each person reacted.
The same subcategory terms will sometimes appear in each category of the people the Holy Spirit affected. At first those little words may seem to have no special significance. But as you progressed through them, you will see that even little words like "within" and "upon", and "full" sometimes had big significance. All those word studies prepare you for the even more dynamic later chapters in the book.
Read through these chapters, not to prove what you already believe, but with an open mind and heart that perhaps you don't believe in enough things the Holy Spirit does, or you believe in more things than the scriptures actually teach.
Let us be careful that we do not go beyond what is written (I Corinthians 4:6). Now, let us gear up for all things God's Holy Spirit does, and get ready to be amazed.
Self-healing materials are an emerging class of smart materials that are capable of repairing themselves from damage, either spontaneously or under a stimulus such as light, heat, or the application of a solvent. Intended for an audience of researchers in academia and industry, this book addresses a wide range of self-healing materials and processes, with emphasis on their performance in the space environment.
This revised, expanded and updated second edition addresses the key concepts of self-healing processes, from their occurrences in nature through to recent advances in academic and industrial research. It includes a detailed description and explanation of a wide range of materials and applications such as polymeric, anticorrosion, smart paints, and carbon nanotubes. Emphasis is given to performance in the space environment, addressing vacuum, thermal gradients, mechanical vibrations, and space radiation. Innovations in controlling self-healing materials for space debris mitigation are also covered. The book concludes with a comprehensive outlook into the future developments and applications of self-healing materials.

Описание: What do women really want? Still out there looking for Mr. Right? Tired of the dating "game"? What is taking God so long? You don't need another book on relationships, what you really need is a heart-to-heart talk with someone that's fighting the same secret battles you are. Michal, a young single Christian, dares to give you a peek into her personal journal entries where she writes letters to her "Mr. Right". In each chapter, the author openly discusses the struggles that singles face, but rarely ever talk about; thoughts and questions that cross your mind, but never share with anyone else. Singleness is a journey. Whether you're a guy that believes that you have the right moves to get you through, or a girl that's got it all figured out, you're going to love the down-to-earth conversations and real-life adventures in this book. See yourself through God's eyes. You never know, you may even hear Him whisper some very important truths that you've been missing... Michal Haddad has been a youth worker for several years ministering at local churches and most recently with "Lebanon Youth for Christ" giving talks, conducting workshops, and coordinating Christian youth events inspiring young people to live for Christ. Her passion is to help youth realize God's purpose for their lives. Michal was raised in Beirut, Lebanon and started writing at a young age. She's a prolific poet and has written a number of Christian plays, devotionals, and songs. Michal currently lives in the United States with her "Mr. Right" where they are starting a family.
