This comprehensive book containing essential information on the applicability of thermal analysis techniques to evaluate inorganic and organic materials in construction technology should serve as a useful reference for the scientist; engineer; construction technologist; architect; manufacturer; and user of construction materials; standard-writing bodies; and analytical chemists. The material scientists at the National Research Council of Canada have established one of the best thermal analysis laboratories in the world. Various types of thermal analysis techniques have been applied successfully to the investigation of inorganic and organic construction materials. These studies have provided important information on the characterization of raw as well as finished materials; quality control; quantitative estimation; interrelationships between physical; chemical; mechanical; and durability characteristics. Information on the application of thermal analysis to construction materials is dispersed in literature and hence the IRC scientists embarked on producing a handbook; the first of its kind; incorporating the latest knowledge available in this field of activity. Almost all important construction materials have been included.

"Yellowman" - Brilliant TragedyBy Nick GrahamI saw this play with Dael Orlandersmith and Howard Overshawn at The Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia in 2002; and nearly 2 years later I bought and read the play because I still think about it so often. Everything I might say about it is insufficient. if you are inclined and have the opportunity - read it. see it. youll never forget the experience. "Yellowman" is just magnificent.
