It addresses the physical-chemical aspects of the strength of pure phases, strengthening of grain packings by "intramolecular forces", and more.This book is addressed mainly to younger geoscientists and students of geologically related subjects. It discusses: the concepts, definitions and experience of strength, particularly rock strength, with application of experimental techniques; the physical-chemical aspects of the strength of pure phases; strengthening of grain packings by "intermolecular forces"; the behaviour of Bunter sandstone samples underwater and lessons for understanding weathering processes; and deductions concerning the distribution of substances and forces in Bunter sandstone samples from observing the response of samples underwater.;The urgency of environmental studies has been the main driving force for this book. The discussion of single problem is wide-ranging, particularly for chemical and physical topics, so as to enhance the reader's understanding. The book is more a research account than a textbook. Thus, no "completed", well-defined subject area is presented; on the contrary, many questions are raised which should form the basis for future research. The book has been written to stimulate lively debate.Rock mechanicsWeatheringBoundary element methodsRock mechanics.Weathering.Boundary element methods.551.352Butenuth Christine1531979MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782123603321Strength and weathering of rock as boundary layer problems3777952UNINA03898nam 22006134a 450 991077763930332120210602215625.00-231-51077-210.7312/bura12158(CKB)1000000000465613(OCoLC)568397383(CaPaEBR)ebrary10183593(SSID)ssj0000118144(PQKBManifestationID)11145973(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000118144(PQKBWorkID)10050747(PQKB)11346268(MiAaPQ)EBC991376(DE-B1597)458700(OCoLC)979628503(DE-B1597)9780231510776(Au-PeEL)EBL991376(CaPaEBR)ebr10183593(EXLCZ)99100000000046561320050909d2006 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrThe caregiver's tale[electronic resource] loss and renewal in memoirs of family life /Ann Burack-WeissNew York Columbia University Pressc20061 online resource (209 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-231-12159-8 0-231-12158-X Includes bibliographical references (p.

Epilogue 139 --Appendix 1: The Memoirs, by Care Relationship and Care Situation --Notes --Sources Cited --IndexAnn Burack-Weiss explores a rich variety of published memoirs by authors who cared for ill or disabled family members. Contrary to the common belief that caregiving is nothing more than a stressful situation to be endured, memoirs describe a life transforming experience-self-discovery, a reordering of one's priorities, and a changed view of the world. The Caregiver's Tale offers insight and comfort to individuals caring for a loved one and is a valuable resource for all health care professionals. Identifying common themes, Burack-Weiss describes how the illness career and social meaning of cancer, dementia, HIV/AIDS, mental illness, and chemical dependence affect the caregiving experience. She applies the same method to an examination of family roles: parents caring for ailing children, couples and siblings caring for one another, and adult children caring for aging parents. Jamaica Kincaid, Sue Miller, Paul Monette, Kenzaburo Oë, and Philip Roth are among the many authors who share their caregiving stories. Burack-Weiss provides an annotated bibliography of the more than one hundred memoirs and an accompanying chart to help readers locate those of greatest interest to them.CaregiversCase studiesChronically illFamily relationshipsCase studiesChronically illHome careCase studiesCaregiversChronically illFamily relationshipsChronically illHome care362/.0425Burack-Weiss Ann966685MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777639303321The caregiver's tale3830685UNINA
