Arthur Hartmann (1881-1956), a celebrated violinist who performed over a thousand recitals throughout Europe and the United States, met Claude Debussy in 1908, after he had transcribed 'Il pleure dans mon coeur' for violin and piano. Their relationship developed into friendship, and in February 1914 Debussy accompanied Hartmann in a performance of three of Hartmann's transcriptions of Debussy's works. The two friends saw each other for the last time on the composer's birthday, 22 August 1914, shortly before Hartmann and his family fled Europe to escape the Great War. With the publication of...

Design and Synthesis of Membrane Separation Processes provides a novel method of design and synthesis for membrane separation. While the main focus of the book is given to gas separation and pervaporation membranes, the theory has been developed in such a way that it is general and valid for any type of membrane.
The method, which uses a graphical technique, allows one to calculate and visualize the change in composition of the retentate (non-permeate) phase. This graphical approach is based on Membrane Residue Curve Maps. One of the strengths of this approach is...

Column Profile Maps (CPMs) provide one versatile tool that can be applied to wide range of separation synthesis problems. This book provides all the necessary guidance to create, optimize, design, and analyze distillation and related separation processes using novel, graphical techniques. Each chapter in this text contains worked-out examples that allow readers to gain a better understanding of the theory presented. The text includes a program for generating CPMs, performing simple column design, and portraying basic aspects of reactive distillation and membrane column design.

Who s in charge of your family ANYONE? WILL YOU BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?
Our society is rapidly changing, and many would say things are not changing for the better. As the family deteriorates, who can help us with the huge deficit of moral truthfulness that we all face in our world?
It seems impossible to stem the tide of information overload threatening the existence of our current families. If we don t make effective inroads against it there is little hope for the generations of those who follow us to have loving families of their own. What priorities are you focused on? Who and what...

The year 1887. A journey around the world. Two women, mother and daughter, set off from Australia and travel for nine months. The mother, Victorian in every way; the teenage daughter seeing the world for the first time. Their diaries record their travels, their thoughts, their encounters with friends, family and strangers. 'The Daughter's Diary' expands on the two original diaries to fill in the picture of what the Fergies did, where they travelled, and who they met. About four hundred people were named in the diaries, many of whom were related to the Fergies. The research into these...

Follow the author from his first early morning glimpse of Mount Fuji to the deepening realisation that even our most familiar and cherished notions can prove to be insubstantial scraps of nothingness.
At times earthy, at times philosophical, 'Japan Dreams' is more than a zen-like meditation on life. It is a high-speed criss-crossing of the landscape both geographical and social, a discourse on ways of seeing, and a surprisingly personal exploration of the differences between the many worlds we inhabit.
