Organized to support an "early transcendentals" approach to the single variable course, this version of Rogawski's highly anticipated text presents... calculus with solid mathematical precision but with an everyday sensibility that puts the main concepts in clear terms.  It is rigorous without being inaccessible and clear without being too informal--it has the perfect balance for instructors and their students. 

This is a practical guide to the policies, regulation, and procedures of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The agency is increasing in... prominence, and more lawyers are encountering FERC issues in their practice, including in matters involving deregulation and restructuring. Topics include the agency's structure and applicable statutes; rules of practice and procedure; accounting, reporting, and filing requirements; regulation of public utilities, hydroelectric projects, and oil pipelines; ratemaking; the Federal Power Act; and enforcement.

A key mechanism of apartheid in South Africa was the set of restrictions placed on the movements of Africans; in particular, African women were subject... to lives of daily surveillance and highly regulated housing, employment and mobility. Here Lee explores the lives and testimonies of three generations of African women in Cape Town during the apartheid (1948-94) and post-apartheid periods. Through life histories and a wealth of evidence, Lee considers how African women differently experienced apartheid, offering an intimate account of their attempts to locate "home" in the urban setting. The various strategies of settlement African women crafted over five decades provide a compelling portrait of adaptation, resilience and change. Drawing together perspectives from anthropology, history, human geography and development studies, African Women and Apartheid will be valuable to anyone with interests in South African culture and society, gender, urbanization, the African family, oral history and memory.

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the principles and techniques used in the field of chemical, petroleum, and environmental... engineering. Although the range of subjects deemed to be in the province of chemical engineering has broadened over the last decade, the basic principles involved in chemical engineering remain the same. This book lays a foundation of certain information and skills that can be repeatedly employed in subsequent courses as well as in professional life. Much of the previous edition has been rewritten. One new topic (Chapter 20) on adsorption has been added.Reorganization: Although each chapter has been revised, the sequence of the topics and the format remain about the same. The Seventh edition takes individual topics that were previously in one long chapter, and makes them individual short chapters of them so that readers can feel a sense of accomplishment more rapidly and review more definitively.In addition to the revised learning tutorial placed on CD, the new edition boasts revamped problem solving strategy (now emphasized in all of the examples) and brand new problems to solve (35% of the problems are brand new).

The Number One Guide to Chemical Engineering Principles, Techniques, Calculations, and Applications: Now Even More Current, Efficient, and Practical   ... Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering, Eighth Edition goes far beyond traditional introductory chemical engineering topics, presenting applications that reflect the full scope of contemporary chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering. Celebrating its fiftieth Anniversary as the field’s leading practical introduction, it has been extensively updated and reorganized to cover today’s principles and calculations more efficiently, and to present far more coverage of bioengineering, nanoengineering, and green engineering.   Offering a strong foundation of skills and knowledge for successful study and practice, it guides students through formulating and solving material and energy balance problems, as well as describing gases, liquids, and vapors. Throughout, the authors introduce efficient, consistent, student-friendly methods for solving problems, analyzing data, and gaining a conceptual, application-based understanding of modern chemical engineering processes. This edition’s improvements include many new problems, examples, and homework assignments.   Coverage includes Modular chapters designed to support introductory chemical engineering courses of any length Thorough introductions to unit conversions, basis selection, and process measurements Consistent, sound strategies for solving material and energy balance problems Clear introductions to key concepts ranging from stoichiometry to enthalpy Behavior of gases, liquids, and solids: ideal/real gases, single component two-phase systems, gas-liquid systems, and more Self-assessment questions to help readers identify areas they don’t fully understand Thought/discussion and homework problems in every chapter New biotech and bioengineering problems throughout New examples and homework on nanotechnology, environmental engineering, and green engineering Extensive tables, charts, and glossaries in each chapte Many new student projects Reference appendices presenting atomic weights and numbers, Pitzer Z factors, heats of formation and combustion, and more   Practical, readable, and exceptionally easy to use, Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering, Eighth Edition, is the definitive chemical engineering introduction for students, license candidates, practicing engineers, and scientists.   CD-ROM INCLUDES The latest Polymath trial software for solving linear, nonlinear, and differential equations and regression problems Point-and-click physical property database containing 700+ compounds Supplemental Problems Workbook containing 100+ solved problems Descriptions and animations of modern process equipment Chapters on degrees of freedom, process simulation, and unsteady-state material balances Expert advice for beginners on problem-solving in chemical engineering
