Customer Reviews:

Not for personal use.......2007-05-17

This is not what I was looking for. This is a Book for someone who is putting in hydro for a small town or village, not a personal use.

Good book.......2007-01-03

This is a good book if you want to know about the basics of micro-hydro. But if you want something more especific try another.

VERY GOOD BOOK FOR A BEGINNER OR FOR A DESIGNER OF SMALL PLANTS.......2006-03-10

I'm a civil engineer involved in the design of large hydropower plants.
This book is a complete guide on the design of a micro-hydropower scheme, particularly well suited if the scheme is located in a developing country.
The books cover all subjects ranging from the preliminary studies to the final design of the civil works and of the EM equipment to the maintenance works.
It is well written and full of photos and examples.
Please buy it if you're involved in the design of small hydropower.
The only small suggestion I can do to the author is to introduce some more calculation examples.

A most concise and integral reference on MH applications.......2000-02-23

This highly rated manual, covers just about every practical and tangible theoretical introduction to the full design and/up to implementation cycle of MH projects, all in about 370 pages. It is important that it was written and amply illustrated not only with detailed schematics, but also with actual pictures from original installations in developing countries, which makes a viable aid in comprehending the "actual picture". The chapters covered detail a syllabus in: Components and Design of an MH Scheme, Cost benefit estimations, Hydrology and site survey, Flow prediction, Civil works and operational parts (all aspects from Weirs to Penstocks), Commercial engineering, Turbines (including reverse pumps), Governing, Drive systems, a very thorough presentation of the -cumbersome- Electrical Power System aspects, along with Operational, Maintenance, Financial and Commissioning aspects. Should there be something more for an engineer to wish for, would be more info on turbines -something you would expect to find in a specialized book on the subject anyway. The book should provide a valuable asset not only to MH engineers, but to Renewable Energy Technology engineers as well, since it is progressively becoming apparent that a combination of RET along with Pumped Storage and MH, presents a highly attractive opportunity for both developed and developing countries

Superb work, Nobel-Prize worthy.......1998-09-29

The insight given in this book is, without a doubt, beneficial not just to mankind, but also and especially developing countries. I highly recommend.

Book Description

The Chinese market and Chinese companies are of increasing importance for the global chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The book starts with the characterization of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry in China. One central aspect is the political and economic situation in China with its strategic and operational implications for Western chemical and pharmaceutical companies. A major part of the book comprises case studies describing how Western companies like BASF, Bayer, Bicoll, Ciba, Degussa, DSM and Novartis are managing the market entry and investments for further growth in China. The book also analyzes the threat to Western companies in their home markets from Chinese competitors.

Book Description

Mastering management skills is hard to achieve by newcomers starting their careers in the chemical industry. The message coming from there is that good chemists swiftly have to become good managers if they are to survive and progress in today's competitive climate.

This book is designed to help guide younger R & D chemists to ways in which they can quickly evolve skills which are built around three factors - people, knowledge and time. It covers the management of scientific personnel, management within a variety of R & D organisational structures, creating a climate of innovation, the management of projects including the time management and communication aspects of the job.

The author, Peter Bamfield, is now working as a consultant. Due to his long experience in the chemical industry, he was elected President of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Industrial Affairs Division.

Book Description

The Worth.com Wealth Pulse was developed by Worth Interactive to examine wealthy Americans' values, attitudes, beliefs and intentions, and to determine if and how they differ from those of the general population. Wealth and Values is the first in a series of surveys that will comprehensively document the point of view of high-net-worth individuals in America today. Wealth and Values is the result of a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, Inc., the global leader in online market research. Harris Interactive surveyed a representative sample of adults and wealth-market adults online, obtaining their responses on a series of subjects including happiness, security, charity, religion, employment and politics. For this study, the wealth market was defined as adults aged 21 or over with a household income of $150,000+ and net assets (not including primary residence) of $500,000 or more. In keeping with Worth Interactive's view of the wealth market as a highly varied group, responses were analyzed by age, gender, source of wealth, recency of wealth and level of assets. Highlights include facts and figures on attitudes towards charity, financial security, religion, faith and spirituality, relationships, career/employment, politics and children.
