Faster: The Acceleration of Just about Everything by James Gleick, ISBN 067977548X
From the bestselling, National Book Award-nominated auhtor of Genius and Chaos, a bracing new work about the accelerating pace of change in today's world.
Most of us suffer some degree of "hurry sickness." a malady that has launched us into the "epoch of the nanosecond," a need-everything-yesterday sphere dominated by cell phones, computers, faxes, and remote controls. Yet for all the hours, minutes, and even seconds being saved, we're still filling our days to the point that we have no time for such basic human activities as eating, sex, and relating to our families. Written with fresh insight and thorough research, Faster is a wise and witty look at a harried world not likely to slow down anytime soon.

EXPLORING AND EXPLODING OUR NOTIONS OF WORK
Joanne B. Ciulla, a noted scholar in Leadership and Ethics, examines why so many people today have let their jobs take over their lives. Technology was supposed to free us from work, but instead we work longer hours-often tethered to the office at home by cell phones and e-mail. People still look to work for self-fulfillment, community, and identity, but these things may be increasingly difficult to find in today's workplace. Gone is the social contract where employees and employers shared a sense of mutual loyalty, yet many of us still sacrifice personal time for jobs that we could lose at the drop of a stock price. Tracing the evolution of the meaning of work from Aesop to Dilbert, and critically examining the past 100 years of management practices, Ciulla asks questions that we often willfully ignore at our own peril.
*When you are on your deathbed, will you wish you had spent more time at the office?
*Why do we define ourselves...

Fuel Cells: From Fundamentals to Applications
This is a concise source of the basic electrochemical principles and the engineering aspects involved in the development and commercialization of fuel cells. It provides a lucid description of the applications and techno-economic assessment of fuel cell technologies along with an in-depth discussion of conventional and novel approaches for generating energy. The first part covers the electrode kinetics and electrocatalysis of charge-transfer reactions, and leading electrochemical technologies with focus on relevance to fuel cells. The second part addresses the governing principles of fuel cells, electrocatalysis of fuel cell reactions and experimental techniques pertinent to fuel cell research and development. The third part is devoted to modeling of fuel cell systems and a thorough discussion of fuels, fuel processing and fuel storage, transmission, and distribution. The final part deals with the status of fuel cell technologies, their applications and economics.

Fuel Cell Technology Handbook by Martin G. Hogarth, ISBN 0849308771
Rapid advances in fuel cell system development have left the latest information scattered throughout the literature. The even faster race toward fuel cell commercialization further leaves the objectivity of many Internet articles open to question. Selecting and compiling the most important articles up to its publication, the Fuel Cell Technology Handbook provides one of the first comprehensive treatments of the technical and commercial aspects of high- and low-temperature fuel cells, fuel cell systems and catalysis, and fuel generation. It forms an authoritative basis for understanding fuel cell technology, applications, and commercial realities.

Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies: Healing with Nature's Twelve Mineral Compounds
In 1870, Dr. W.H. Schuessler--noted physiological chemist and physicist--developed the use of twelve cell salt remedies in the treatment of illness. Dr. Schuessler discovered that cell salts are essential to maintaining a healthy body, and that when the body's stores of these compounds become depleted, the body becomes susceptible to disease. "Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies is a comprehensive guide to the theory and use of homeopathic cell salts. Part One first provides a history of Dr. Schuessler's discovery, and then describes each of the cell salts, explaining how it works and detailing its use. Part Two offers an A-to-Z listing of common disorders and the cell salt remedies that can be used to treat them. Here is a much-needed introduction to the safe and effective use of cell salts.
