While most screenwriting books focus on format and structure, Kate Wright explains how to put story at the center of a screenplay. A compelling story, complete with intriguing characters and situations created with these screenwriting tricks of the trade can become a box office blockbuster film.
Screenwriters will learn:
- Developing themes within the plot
- Using structure to define the story
- Creating memorable characters
- Establishing moral dilemmas and conflicts
- Achieving classic elements of storytelling in a three-act dramatic structure
- Mastering different...

One of the major developments in Earth Sciences in general, and mineralogy in particular, has been the growth of our understanding of the microscopic behaviour of the complex materials that make up the Earth. This has been made possible by advances in our ability to probe minerals at the atomic level, over a large range of pressure and temperature conditions. New experimental techniques include the use of scanning probe microscopies to investigate mineral surfaces, as well as the use of neutron scattering, nuclear spectroscopies and synchrotron radiation to investigate the bonding and...

A prominent high scale (fractions of a nanometer) measurement technique for material science - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), was introduced in 1980s but is now fast gaining significance in the field of biology. This technique is used to examine the topological surface of biological nanoparticles i.e. proteins, viruses etc. In addition, it demonstrates the physical attributes such as Young's modulus, bond strength, surface friction etc. of these nano-organisms. AFM is functional within physiologically suitable conditions i.e. liquids. This is the main reason of its significance in the realm...

Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) involves forming images of surfaces using a physical scanning and detection method. The key subject of this text, scanning probe microscopy is a major tool for the progress of nanotechnology with functions in a multitude of study spheres. This book comprises of unique studies on the uses of SPM methods for the classification of physical attributes of various materials at the nano level. The various topics covered in this book vary from morphology of surfaces to analyzing thin films. The diversity of topics covered in this book reflects the prominent...

This book elucidates the scientific researches in the field of atomic force microscopy. The invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM) brought about drastic changes in the field of surface analysis. It proved to be a critical investigative resource and method, used for qualitative and quantitative study of surfaces with sub-nanometer resolutions. Additionally, samples analyzed through this microscope don't need prior preparation procedures. This prevents any alterations or adverse effects which may damage the sample while allowing a three dimensional study of the exterior surface. This...
