"Polymers are used in nearly all aspects of modern life. Polyurethanes are one of the fastest-growing polymers due to their wide applications in areas such as construction, packaging, and biomedical science. One aspect of polyurethanes that is generating a great deal of interest is synthesis using renewable resources for a more sustainable future. This book covers the fundamentals and approaches to synthesizing a variety of polyurethanes using different starting materials and provides a mechanistic understanding of polyurethanes, their applications, and their challenges. Volume 1 introduces the chemistries and types of polyurethanes, composites, and carbon-fiber-reinforced polyurethanes as well as the recycling of polyurethanes."-- Provided by publisher.

"Polymers are used in nearly all aspects of modern life. Polyurethanes are one of the fastest-growing polymers due to their wide applications in areas such as construction, packaging, and biomedical science. One aspect of polyurethanes that is generating a great deal of interest is synthesis using renewable resources for a more sustainable future. This book covers the fundamentals and approaches to synthesizing a variety of polyurethanes using different starting materials and provides a mechanistic understanding of polyurethanes, their applications, and their challenges. Volume 3 focuses on polyurethane chemistry for agricultural applications as well as emerging applications of polyurethanes in the energy and biomedical sectors."-- Provided by publisher.

"In 1976, the picturesque, agrarian Napa Valley was all but unknown to those who didn't live there. That changed dramatically when Steven Spurrier and Patricia Gallagher decided to host a blind tasting of American and French wines in Paris. When wines from California defeated those of France, the world was shocked, an industry reawakened, and Napa Valley exploded in a frenzy of growth and development. Families who had farmed for generations battled to hang onto their land, and many paid a steep price as the area transformed into one of the world's premier wine-growing regions. Join author Mark Gudgel as he explores the trials and tribulations of Napa's meteoric rise to prominence."--Publisher's description.
