Book Description
Designed for advanced undergraduate students, Physical Properties of Materials, Second Edition establishes the principles that control the optical, thermal, electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of materials. Using an atomic and molecular approach, this introduction to materials science offers students a wide-ranging survey of the field and a basis to understand future materials. The author incorporates comments on applications of materials science, extensive references to the contemporary and classic literature, and problems at the end of each chapter. In addition, unique tutorials allow students to apply the principles to understand applications, such as photocopying, magnetic devices, fiber optics, and more. This fully revised and updated second edition presents a discussion of materials sustainability, a description of crystalline structures, and discussion of current and recent developments, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, magnetocaloric effect, and spintronics. Along with a new capstone tutorial on the materials science of cymbals, this edition contains more than 60 new end-of-chapter problems, bringing the total to 300 problems. Web Resource The book’s companion website (www.physicalpropertiesofmaterials.com) provides updates to the further reading sections, links to relevant movies and podcasts for each chapter, video demonstrations, and additional problems. It also offers sources of demonstration materials for lectures and PowerPoint slides of figures from the book. More information can be found on a recent press release describing the book and the website.

Book Description
Since the time of domestication more than 10,000 years ago, cattle have played an increasingly crucial role in the development of human civilizations. Progress has been quite remarkable since the turn of the century; the sequencing of the bovine genome in 2009 launched new avenues for furthering our understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of cattle genetics. Covering a vast array of questions, this book reviews major topics from molecular and developmental genetics, disease resistance and immunogenetics to genetic improvement of dairy and beef breeds, addressing all current problems in the field. This second edition includes a new team of authors and completely new chapters on the genetics of fat production, nutrition, feed intake and efficiency, growth and body composition. Fully updated throughout, it provides a valuable resource on cattle genetics for researchers, breeders, veterinarians and postgraduate students.

Book Description
This book provides a link between occupational health and clinical practice. Besides being a valuable starting point for health professionals with an interest in occupational medicine as well as those intending to specialize in occupational medicine, the book will be a useful guide for all those who are interested in occupational medicine practice, including medical students at various levels, occupational health nurses, general practitioners, and more senior professionals in occupational medicine. In other words, it is for all who have committed themselves to the best practice for the health of working people. The first edition is now used in occupational health training courses in several countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Jordan. The second edition is an extensively revised and updated version, with several new contributors and new material. The contributors are a mix of international and regional occupational health specialists and clinicians. The contents of the book have been streamlined to appear in two sections. The editors have retained the approach of examining occupational health issues and concerns from the standpoint of clinical presentations of the different organ systems. Clinically oriented chapters form Section 1. Section 2 comprises other issues of special interest to occupational health practitioners, such as screening and routine medical examinations, health promotion at the workplace, assessment of disability for compensation, medical planning and management of industrial disasters, and prevention of occupational diseases. Several changes have directly resulted from feedback from readers of the first edition. Among them are the inclusion of new chapters on occupational infections, the health of corporate travelers, shiftwork, and occupational health standards and legislation. As before, case studies have been incorporated in the chapters to make clear the relevant issues.
