From dust jacket:"Anyone who has dared to look at the universe in a different fashion from that accepted by the mainstream of traditional science has been scoffed at, derided, and, in former times at least, declared a heretic or a witch. Such is likely to be the case with Dr. Lawrence Wainwright author of Three Paradoxes Neglected by Atomic Physics, for in this work he looks at the structure of the atom in a new and different way"

From Preface - "The numerous inquiries from artists and art students on the subject of the durability of the various materials employed in the fine arts, has encouraged the author to prepare, in detail, technical matter as outlined in his different lectures. The substance of the book is compiled in encyclopedic form, and to facilitate reference, an exhaustive index is appended"

Rembrandt's intriguing painting technique stirred the imaginations of art lovers during his lifetime and has done so ever since. In this book, now revised, updated, and with a new foreword by the author, Rembrandt's pictorial intentions and the variety of materials and techniques he applied to create his fascinating effects are unraveled in depth. At the same time, this "archaeology" of Rembrandt's paintings yields information on many other levels and offers a view of Rembrandt's daily practice and artistic considerations while simultaneously providing a more dimensional image of the artist.

For students of Medicine Biology Home Economics and Agricultural as well as for those majoring in a number of branches of chemistry a comprehensive outlook and an acquaintance with the broader aspects of biochemistry are desirable.

The book describes the analysis of various plastics using a combination of spectroscopy and analytical chemistry. Types of plastics analyzed include vinyl resins, ester resins, nylons and related polymers, hydrocarbons and fluorocarbon polymers, rubber like resins, thermosetting resins, natural, cellulose, epoxy, polyether, and silicone resins as well as plasticizers, antioxidants, and emulsifying agents
