This book was written to help ceramists to understand the subject of rheology as it applies to suspensions. Topics discussed include viscosity and rheology fundamentals, syneresis and dilatancy and their causes and effects in ceramic process systems, the rheological effects of gelation, flocculation, and deflocculation, as well as the different types of viscometers that can be used to measure rheological properties. Many practical considerations are included throughout this book. The discussion in the final chapter covers the methods available to adjust and control suspension rheologies in the ceramic process environment. This book will be valuable reading and a handy reference for all ceramists, including students, technicians, engineers, managers, and artists, who want to learn more about the rheology of suspensions.

Emphasizes the importance of surface and colloid chemistry in the manufacture of high-performance ceramics. Examines processing-property relationships, powderproductionandcharacte6zation,the dispersion properties of powders in liquids, the rheology of concentrated suspensions, and the surface and colloid chemistry aspects of the most widely used forming methods.

The main purpose of the epistle of James is to teach about practical faith! Each person needs to come to Jesus Christ in faith to obtain eternal life. Faith in each believer will be accompanied by good works. If faith is present, good works will follow! Without faith and without God's help, good works will never happen! This is a wonderful letter which is enormously helpful to all who believe, having put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!

This question has been asked by many throughout mankind's whole sojourn on earth. This book is a study of the interactions of the Lord God toward man as presented in the Bible. God's relationship with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the children of Israel, the judges, and several of the kings of Israel are all examined. God then sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to make good His promises and fulfill His desires for mankind, which Adam failed to do. The study examines Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, as well as the lives of His faithful servants such as Paul, Stephen, and Peter. The answer to the title's fundamental question is a unifying thread which not only runs throughout the whole Bible, but ties it all together!

The book of 2 Chronicles details the reigns of the kings of Judah and Israel from Solomon to the Babylonian captivity. There were quite a few good kings of Judah, although several evil kings of Judah in the line of succession provoked the Lord to anger. Good kings destroyed idols, groves, and heathen gods, and took away the high places of worship throughout the cities and the land. Evil kings set up new idols, groves, and heathen gods, worshipped them in high places, and even brought idolatrous practices into the House of God in Jerusalem. These histories teach us about man's relationship to God as they function as a mirror through which we can gain insights into life in society today! Little has changed in the millennia between then and now! Society has been on a slow decline away from the Lord for all of that time!

The first book of the Bible, Genesis, is the book of beginnings. It covers about 2500 years from the Creation, through the lives of Adam and Eve, through the great flood of Noah's day, through the lives of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to the lives of Jacob's sons who were heads of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Genesis ends with the death of Joseph, the son of Jacob who was sold into slavery by his brothers. Joseph, with God's help, saved the Egyptians, the family of Jacob, and the world, from the great famine of his day! Genesis provides the foundation for the other sixty-five books of the Bible!
