In the present edition, therefore, the reader will find that a great deal of new matter has been introduced and the general plan of the book has been readjusted to meet. The demands of a logical development of the subject. The field of textile chemistry and the processing of textile fibers has taken on new proportions during the past ten years. To mention only one branch of the subject, the artificial silk industry, for example, has expanded until at the present time more artificial silk is made than is obtained as a natural product from the silkworm. The use of mercerised cotton has become an established factor in the cotton industry and has become stabilised into a standard process. The World War caused much research into the possibilities of utilising other fibers than those normally employed, and we find a great variety of experimenting, such as in the spinning of the so called staple fiber yarns. Some of these sporadic attempts have passed out with the necessity of their use, while others have… Read More

In the study and conservation of art and artifacts, natural organic materials are frequently encountered in components such as coatings, binders, and adhesives. Their identification is often crucial in the attempt to characterize the technologies employed by artists, understand the processesand causes of deterioration, and plan appropriate conservation treatments. Many analysis techniques are often too costly for conservation laboratories. Thin-layer chromatography can help fill the gap. This volume, the first in the Getty Conservation Institute's Scientific Tools for Conservationseries, consists of a handbook, protocols, and a guide to reference materials. The handbook serves as a primer for the basic application of thin-layer chromatography to the analysis of coating, binders, and adhesives found on cultural objects; the protocols provide step-by-step instructions forprocedures involved in typical analyses; and the guide aids in the understanding of the types of materials and documentation needed.

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"
