The Compleat Distiller describes the science and the principles behind home distillation, the practice of small scale distillation, and several designs for different kinds of stills, all thoroughly tested. We fervently hope that our readers develop a thorough understanding of the process, which can only broaden and deepen their enjoyment of this activity. Following this philosophy, every subject introduced begins with "how does this work?" and progresses to "how can I do this?".

• Comprehensive coverage of key elements and compounds in situ
  
• Addresses the analysis and impact of these elements and compounds, e.g. arsenic, lead, copper, iron, halogens, etc., in food, the environment, clinical and occupational health
  
• Detailed methodology and data are reported, as well as regulatory limits
  
• Includes general introduction on the impact in these key areas

Polyvinylacetate and vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer lattices are very important in adhesives, paint, binders for non-wovens, paper and textile additive industries, and many related industries; their production is growing steadily both in actual quantities and different applications. The book is written primarily as an introduction for researchers and as a guide to anyone who wishes to use it in applied work. Throughout the book, considerable attention is devoted to experimental aspects and as such should also serve as a useful reference source.

Highlighting new instrumentation and experimental techniques-including high-throughput experimentation and combinatorial approaches-that are being employed to observe chemical reactions and molecular properties at the nanoscale, leading scientists from a diverse range of fields reveal new insights into the surface chemistry of catalysts and the reaction mechanisms that actually occur during catalysis. From fundamental concepts to future directions, Surface and Nanomolecular Catalysis offers a well-rounded compilation of noteworthy developments which will continue to expand and transform our understanding of catalysis, particularly in the context of clean energy and environmental applications such as fuel cells.
