Book excerpt: Skip an Atom Agates, The Most Unusual Lake Superior Agates is a book about a rare variety of Lake Superior agate that few own or have seen. When a book can draw on an image database with thousands of their images to incorporate nearly 300 closeup images, the result can be an interesting book for all agate collectors to enjoy.The subject is compelling. Agates with unusual color and multiple crystal shapes and patterns. Their name was a guess as to their composition and no progress was made for 70 years. Then observations of hundreds of closeup squares on a large computer monitor led an expert to recognize the clues to their formation. These squares fill the front cover and 4 more pages in the book. The story is retold in one chapter.Separate chapters use large closeup images to show agates from different locations including some untouched by glacial action. Complex and unusual patterns are covered, including a mysterious form named "Ghost Agates". Ruin and breccia agates are also relatively common.The book contains enough text to introduce and explain the features, but the words don't get in the way of the photography. It is complemented by the website, mudpot.com, enabling its content to be kept up to date while sharing slideshows of similar images. The goal is to make this book a fun experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is quite satisfying for an author to learn that his brainchild has been favorably accepted by students as well as by professors and thus seems to serve some useful purpose. This horizontally integrated text on the electronic properties of metals, alloys, semiconductors, insulators, ceramics, and poly meric materials has been adopted by many universities in the United States as well as abroad, probably because of the relative ease with which the material can be understood. The book has now gone through several re printing cycles (among them a few pirate prints in Asian countries). I am grateful to all readers for their acceptance and for the many encouraging comments which have been received. I have thought very carefully about possible changes for the second edition. There is, of course, always room for improvement. Thus, some rewording, deletions, and additions have been made here and there. I withstood, how ever, the temptation to expand considerably the book by adding completely new subjects. Nevertheless, a few pages on recent developments needed to be inserted. Among them are, naturally, the discussion of ceramic (high-tempera ture) superconductors, and certain elements of the rapidly expanding field of optoelectronics. Further, I felt that the readers might be interested in learning some more practical applications which result from the physical concepts which have been treated here.
