William C Dietz - [The Legion of the Damned 08] When Duty Calls

As the war with the Ramanthian continues, Captain Antonio Santana and his force of biobods and cyborgs find themselves surrounded by enemy forces, faced with annihilation at every turn. On the home front, diplomat Christine Vanderveen finds herself torn between her love for Santana and her new loyalty towards the charismatic, recently elected president of the Clone Republic. As Christine fights her own divided heart, light years away, Santana is in a battle for his life. And this battle may be his last.

Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces: A Concise Guide

Title	:	Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces: A Concise Guide
Authors	:	Victor Andreevich Toponogov
	:	2006 Birkhauser Boston

The study of curves and surfaces forms an important part of classical differential geometry. Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces: A Concise Guide presents traditional material in this field along with important ideas of Riemannian geometry. The reader is introduced to curves, then to surfaces, and finally to more complex topics. Standard theoretical material is combined with more difficult theorems and complex problems, while maintaining a clear distinction between the two levels.

Key topics and features:

• Covers central concepts including curves, surfaces, geodesics, and intrinsic geometry
• Substantive material on the Aleksandrov global angle comparison theorem, which the author generalized for Riemannian manifolds (a result now known as the celebrated Toponogov Comparison Theorem, one of the cornerstones of modern Riemannian geometry)
• Contains many nontrivial and original problems, some with hints and solutions
  Standard theoretical material is combined with more difficult theorems and complex problems, while maintaining a clear distinction between the two levels

This rigorous exposition, with well-motivated topics, is ideal for advanced undergraduate, first-year graduate students seeking to enter the fascinating world of geometry, and students specializing in geometry. The material is given in two parallel streams.

Chiral Catalyst Immobilization and Recycling

Title	:	Chiral Catalyst Immobilization and Recycling
Editors	:	Dirk De Vos, Ivo F. J. Vankelecom, Pierre A. Jacobs
Publisher	:	Wiley-VCH; 1 edition (October 15, 2000)

Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis offers reliable results and the possibility to 'tune' the catalysis on a rational basis. A pitfall, however, is that the separation of the catalyst from the starting material and products is difficult and often results in the loss of the catalytic material.

Immobilization offers a potential solution for the user of enantioselective catalysts in industrial processes and laboratories. Heterogeneous catalysis allows continuous operations, recycling of the catalyst, and an easy separation of the reaction products, reducing both waste and costs.

Chemists in academia and industry will welcome this careful selection of topics in this handbook that provides readers with practical and detailed information about the technical requirements for the immobilization of chiral catalysts, their application in synthesis, and methods for recycling.

Roger Zelazny - Doorways in the Sand

Humanity is not alone in the cosmos. The aliens have given a precious relic to the people of Earth: star-stone. The harmony of the galaxy is at stake when they discover the disappearance of their star-stone.

Likeable Fred Cassidy is an eternal undergraduate. All he thinks he knows about the star-stone is that it came to Earth in an interplanetary trade for the Mona Lisa and the British Crown jewels.

Then Fred is accused of stealing the cosmic artifact, and he is pursued from Australia to Greenwich Village and beyond, by telepathic psychologists, extraterrestrial hoodlums and galactic police in disguise; as he enters multiple realities, flipping in and out of alien perspectives, through doorways in the sand.
