Alkyl Polyglycosides: Technology, Properties and Applications   
K. Hill(Editor), et al / Paperback / Published 1997
Alkyl polyglycosides are a new generation of multi-application, ecologically safe nonionic surfactants that form a naturally reusable resource. Written by pioneers in the field, this title details the technological, ecological, physicochemical and performance aspects of alkyl polyglycosides, and discusses the current patent situation of these new commercially viable materials.  Includes discussion of  nonionic derivatives, toxicology, dermatological properties,  use of the surfactants in agriculture, consumer and personal care products, hard surface cleaners, and laundry detergents.

 

 

Surface Activity : Principles, Phenomena, and Applications (Polymers, Interfaces, and Biomaterials)
Kaore Tsujii, et al / Hardcover / Published 1998 -- surfactants are key materials in processes involving adhesion, coating, mixing,  and in medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and electronic industries. Basic principles and useful applications  and  future applications such as lyotropic liquid crystals, liposomes and vesibles, bilayer membrances, and LB-films are discussed.
 
Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena
Milton J. Rosen / Paperback / Published 1989  -- The Second Edition has been updated to reflect recent advances in our knowledge of theory and practices. New applications run the gamut from microelectronics and magnetic recording, to biotechnology and nonconventional energy conversion. There is a new chapter on the interactions between surfactants. New sections have been added, and original sections expanded, on such topics as ultralow liquid-liquid interfacial tension, microemulsions, miniemulsions, and multiple emulsions, liquid crystal formation, hydrotropy, and steric forces in the stabilization of dispersions. There is also new material on lime soap dispersing agents, fabric softeners, adsorption and wetting of solid surfaces--both equilibrium and nonequilibrium, the relationship between adsorption and micellation in aqueous solutions and its effect on surface tension reduction, and factors determining micellar structure and shape.

 Building with Masonry: Brick, Block & Concrete   
Dick Kreh, Richard T. Kreh / Hardcover / Published 1998  --   THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC;  a must get even if you're not building right now.

"With this specialty book specifically for those about to embark on a do-it-yourself masonry repair or building project, Kreh, a recognized third-generation master mason, provides all the basics on tools and materials, estimating materials needed for any project, descriptions and diagrams of bond patterns and wall types, fundamentals of laying brick and block, and clear, useful information on masonry repair and restoration for preexisting work. Chimneys, retaining walls, foundations, decorative walks and planters, steps, and all varieties of construction masonry are covered here with excellent diagrams; explanations of terminology, tools, and materials; and photographs that vividly illustrate some of the finer points of masonry work.

Kreh's many years as a teacher of masonry techniques and practices shine through for the reader with no prior knowledge of masonry with clear, easy-to-understand terminology and a step-by-step approach, and his extensive experience and knowledge will open the eyes of longtime professionals with pointers and shortcuts they may not know themselves. This is a thorough, complete guide to masonry for all." --Mark A. Hett

 

Building With Stone  Charles McRaven, Chandis Ingenthron (Illustrator) / Paperback / Published 1989

 

  •    The Doorhanger's Handbook; Gary Katz -- For the inexperienced, a casual walk through a building-supply store will yield doors of amazing variety, most ready to mount, some already in prebuilt frames. It might seem simple enough to buy one, bring it home, and install it. Yet most new, perfectly dimensioned doors need to be fitted into openings that are far from being perfectly straight or plumb, and therein lies a problem that any budding or experienced carpenter will encounter repeatedly. Hanging a door is no small feat: it can be much like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, requires care and skill to be done properly, and can be a major puzzlement indeed to someone new to the process. Katz takes the process from beginning to end, choosing interior and exterior doors, proper hardware and jambs for installation, and installing specialty doors, like arched and French doors, Dutch doors, pocket doors, and many more. He shows how to use jigs and templates to speed up many tasks, and includes a large section on the essentials of weather stripping. Well illustrated and thoroughly diagrammed, this is a book that should be read by every carpenter and do-it-yourselfer who wants to produce professional results and avoid the many pitfalls and common mistakes in hanging doors of any kind. --Mark A. Hetts
