Electronic Properties of Engineering Materials (Mit Series in Materials Science and Engineering)

Electronic Properties of Engineering Materials (Mit Series in Materials Science and Engineering) It includes both chemical and physical approaches to the properties of solids, and clearly separates those aspects of materials properties that can be tackled with classical physics from those that require quantum mechanics.
* Quantum mechanics are introduced later to allow readers to be familiar with some of the mathematics necessary for quantum mechanics before being exposed to its bewildering fundamental concepts.
* Discusses the electronic properties of solids from the viewpoint of elementary band theory, and end with a brief treatment of semiconductors and some semiconducting devices.
Customer Review: Excellent Boook
This is an excellent intorductory course book on the subject of electronic sciences. I am really impressed with Part 2 ( chapetre 8 to 16)- Quantum Mechanically Approach. The text is well supported by the the example after a subtopic. The concept of the energy bands, bonds, free electron theory, semiconductors are really explained very well from a conceptual point of view. The prolems in the books really gives an insight and by solving the problem clears the basic concepts of the subject.

Overall, the book is very good for a grasp in the subject.

Property: Principles And Policies (University Casebook)

Property: Principles And Policies (University Casebook) This new casebook is designed for a building block Property course that serves as a foundation for students remaining years in law school and beyond. It presents the subject through vivid cases, including most of those beloved by generations of property teachers. In contrast to other casebooks presenting property as a hodge-podge of issues, this book organizes the material in an integrated way, starting with the idea of property as the right to exclude and systematically developing elaborations, exceptions, and counterfoils to this idea. Issues of contemporary relevance such as intellectual property and regulatory takings are given relatively pervasive and expansive treatment. The emphasis throughout is on fundamental principles and policy questions.

Modern Ceramic Engineering: Properties, Processing, and Use in Design, Third Edition (Materials Engineering)

Modern Ceramic Engineering: Properties, Processing, and Use in Design, Third Edition (Materials Engineering)

While ceramic materials have proven increasingly important to modern technology with electronics, biomedical, communications, construction, mechanical, and many other engineering applications, most engineers and technologists receive little or no training in ceramics. This third edition of Modern Ceramic Engineering provides an introduction to the structure, properties, processing, design concepts, and applications of advanced ceramics. Updating the best-selling second edition with the advances in technology that have occurred since the previous edition, it emphasizes how and why ceramics differ from metals and organics and how to apply this knowledge to optimum materials selection. This book now also includes a study guide at the end of each chapter to help guide the reader to key points.

Customer Review: Richerson knows a lot about ceramics
This is a pretty good introductory book to Ceramics. There are a few typos in this 3rd edition book, but that doesn’t distract from the main flow of it all. There are Review questions at the end of each chapter which are supposed to help one think about what s/he just read. Sometimes, the answer doesn’t really come until the next chapter, though. The Author has a good voice in his writing–it’s not totally technical jargon. So overall, good book.
Customer Review: Best among currently available Ceramic Engineering Textbooks
I am offering my comments in my capacity as a course instructor. The reason why I recommend this book to my students is because it gives an excellent understanding of industrial applications of ceramic materials. The author has done a great job putting together his industrial experience. Most of the textbooks are written by university professors, who are sometimes ignorant about the industrial practices. This is more true in the rapidly changing field of materials science and engineering in general, and ceramics in particular. After having gone through all the ceramics related books that are currently available in the market, I feel Modern Ceramic Engineering (Materials Engineering) by David Richerson is the best option as a ceramic engineering textbook. The only drawback of this book is that it lacks smooth flow of ideas. Author could generate more interest among the readers by providing more schematics and by avoiding the paragraphs with cluttered information.

Hot Property: The Stealing of Ideas in an Age of Globalization

Hot Property: The Stealing of Ideas in an Age of Globalization The problem of pirating and counterfeiting has grown from small-scale imitations of Levi’s jeans and Zippo lighters to a phenomenon that costs the United States an estimated $200 billion dollars per year. Pirated DVDs, computer software, designer clothes, and machinery flood global markets, inflicting heavy losses on U.S. businesses, while counterfeit medicines, auto and aircraft parts, and baby formula regularly cause fatalities around the world. The theft of artistic and scientific creation is draining our economy. It is the great economic crime of the twenty-first century.

Pat Choate, the author of the best-selling Agents of Influence, examines the roots of conflicts over intellectual property and how the establishment of patent and copyright protections helped propel the American economy. He interweaves the stories of Eli Whitney, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison to illustrate how the United States transformed itself from a largely agricultural society into a manufacturing, scientific, and technological superpower, giving rise to further copyright and patent protection laws. He traces the emergence of Germany, Japan, and China as rivals to American primacy through copying, counterfeiting, and underpricing American products and media. He reveals the shockingly meager effectiveness of current efforts to defend American businesses, inventors, and artists from corporate espionage. And he sounds a powerfully convincing warning that the general indifference of our government toward the security of American intellectual property is already affecting job security and the economy in general (an estimated $24 billion is lost each year to pirated films, music recordings, books, and other merchandise in China alone).

Hot Property is an impassioned, clear-eyed, and sound assessment of one of the most serious problems facing the American economy today, certain to be one of the most widely discussed books of the year.
Customer Review: Bingo!
I treasure Dr. Pat Choates new title (book). It is an easy read and a total epiphany. I thought I totally knew the negative side of so-called free trade and after perusing HOT PROPERTY I realized I knew little. Dr. Choate not only pinned down the significance of intellectual property (new ideas product-wise and the intangible, such as music, books, trademarks, software, methods, processes, and so forth) that stimulates our economy, but also makes clear how Japan in particular has bought off disloyal former D.C. government agents of all descriptions(Congressional staff, legislators, etc.)who have helped Japanese cartels steal the ideas as their own possession.

A recent e-mailed question from me to Dr. Choate regarding China’s emerging roll as an economic power vis-a-vis Japan’s theft of our (US) intellectual property produced the following reply from Professor Choate:

“The Japanese hold on the US economy by stealing our intellectual property is tighter now than ever. They now hold almost $1 trillion in federal securities, have a massive trade surplus with us — far more than the $70 billion or so reported, because much of the China, Thailand, Mexico, etc., trade surpluses are from Japanese companies in those countries. Plus, the Japanese continue to hire our ex-officials on a wholesale basis. The Japanese are so involved with us it is as though they were co-directors of our government.”

Read HOT PROPERTY and discover for yourself the wholesale theft of America’s intellectual property that is all but destroying America’s economic prowess and motivation to create new ideas that lead to innovation and economic stimulation.
Customer Review: Hot Topic, Lukewarm Treatment
This book is in large part a polemic against intellectual piracy and in favor of intellectual property protection. Author Pat Choate was third-party candidate Ross Perot’s running mate in the 1996 U.S. presidential election. It is no surprise, then, that the book features charged rhetoric and less than scrupulously dispassionate analysis. Nevertheless, it provides an amusing, easy-to-read introduction to the history of intellectual property protection and its role in U.S. industrial development. That history takes some surprising turns. Eli Whitney, famed as the inventor of the cotton gin, went broke trying unsuccessfully to defend his patents. Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison also experienced patent and piracy headaches. Choate recounts these stories with verve and style. He also attempts to be even-handed as when, for example, he draws a parallel between intellectual property violations and the use of traditional knowledge (such as folk medicine) without compensation to the peoples who preserved the traditions. Ultimately, though, Choate focuses more on identifying problems than at proposing solutions. We recommend this book to managers in businesses such as pharmaceuticals and media, which are struggling to preserve their intellectual property rights internationally, as well as to policy-makers and others who are interested in legal and business history.

Customer Review: Outdated
You know your dealing with a book that’s outdated when you read “Most first loans are made by savings and loans associations.” No offense intended to the author but although many of the concepts are good, they are not well-explained or presented for beginners to easily understand. I only understood as much as I did because I am in the real estate industry. Better choices are out there.

Brownfields: A Comprehensive Guide to Redeveloping Contaminated Property SECOND EDITION

Brownfields: A Comprehensive Guide to Redeveloping Contaminated Property SECOND EDITION Written for real estate lawyers, environmental lawyers, property owners, lenders, environmental consultants, environmental regulators, state or local government leaders and developers.
Customer Review: Better name would be “A Legal Guide to…”
Contary to the title, this book is not comprehensive. It is well written but covers mainly legal aspects of brownfield redevelopment. Biophysical elements are covered only very briefly. About half of the book is a listing of state by state regulations related to brownfield development, making the book much longer, but adding little to its value for individual users, who are likely to work mainly in a single state. Thus, about half of the book is of very limited use to the average reader.
