Thermodynamics / by Lewis, Gilbert Newton,1875-1946,author.(CARDINAL)762247; Randall, Merle,1888-1950,author.; Pitzer, Kenneth S.(Kenneth Sanborn),1914-1997,editor,revisor.; Brewer, Leo,1919-2005,editor,revisor.;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes."Since its first publication in 1923, this volume has been considered one of the great books in the literature of chemistry. In the early '60s, well-known chemists Kenneth S. Pitzer and Leo Brewer revised and updated it, adding substantial material on solution thermodynamics, results in statistical mechanics, surfaces, gravitational and electromagnetic fields, and other areas. Upon the second edition's 1961 publication, The Journal of Chemical Education noted: "The book will undoubtedly resume its place as a constant guide and reference for chemists using thermodynamics in their research, and as a textbook and reference for classes in the application of thermodynamics to chemistry." This new edition of a foundational work will be welcomed by teachers in the field. For advanced undergraduates in chemistry and related fields"--

Ghostly Encounters : Confessions of a Paranormal Investigator. by Cole, Jeff Scott,author.; Robson, Johnathon.;
It should come as no surprise that with the dawn of the digital age, people have turned their new technology toward the mysterious stories they've heard or events they've personally experienced. Here, in the dusky gloom where traditional science has refused to enter, a new breed of investigator has introduced us to the strange sounds and weird images from these nocturnal adventures. Like most people, Jeff Cole has always been intrigued by aspects of the paranormal-does the human spirit endure after the body dies, and are there such things as ghosts? Though the deeper questions are best left to priests and scholars, his investigations of well- and lesser-known historical sites indicate the existence of a truly inexplicable phenomenon. Ghostly Encounters chronicles Cole's journey into the world of ghost hunting, other ghost hunting groups he has met, and the team he ultimately joins. Ghostly Encounters also provides a first-person account of the haunted locations explored, historical background and context to these sites, and audio and video clips so the reader can experience some of the startling evidence captured during these investigations.

"Bullied nerd Virgil Hawkins wasn't the kind of kid you'd normally find on the streets at a protest-but like everyone else in the city of Dakota, he was fed up. Unfortunately, the first time he stood up to raise his voice, the world turned upside down. The experimental tear gas released that day left some of his classmates maimed or dead...but it left Virgil, and others, with stunning new abilities. Virgil has power inside him now-real power, the ability to channel and manipulate electromagnetic fields. But there's anger burning inside him, too. What is he supposed to do about all of this? And first and foremost-what is he supposed to do about his bullies, now that they've got superpowers too?"-- Provided by publisher.

Six feet over : science tackles the afterlife / by Roach, Mary,author.(CARDINAL)342147;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-309).You again: A visit to the reincarnation nation -- The little man inside the sperm, or possibly the big toe: Hunting the soul with microscopes and scalpels -- How to weigh a soul: What happens when a man (or a mouse, or a leech) dies on a scale -- The Vienna sausage affair: And other dubious highlights of the ongoing effort to see the soul -- Hard to swallow: The giddy, revolting heyday of ectoplasm -- The large claims of the medium: Reaching out to the dead in a University of Arizona lab -- Soul in a dunce cap: The author enrolls in medium school -- Can you hear me now?: Telecommunicating with the dead -- Inside the haunt box: Can electromagnetic fields make you hallucinate? -- Listening to Casper: A psychoacoustics expert sets up camp in England's haunted spots -- Chaffin v. the dead guy in the overcoat: In which the law finds for a ghost, and the author calls in an expert witness -- Six feet over: A computer stands by on an operating room ceiling, awaiting near-death experiencers."What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that's that, the million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?" In an attempt to find out, the author brings her curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences. Along the way, she enrolls in an English medium school, gets electromagnetically haunted at a university in Ontario, and visits a Duke University professor with a plan to weigh the consciousness of a leech. Her historical wanderings unearth soul-seeking philosophers who rummaged through cadavers and calves' heads, a North Carolina lawsuit that established legal precedence for ghosts, and the last surviving sample of "ectoplasm" in a Cambridge University archive.
