Defects and Defect Processes in Nonmetallic Solids
"An ideal text."-Nature
"A book in which a great deal of information has been synthesized in a new, enjoyable, and helpful manner."--"Comments on Solid State Physics
This extensive survey of defects in nonmetals focuses on point defects and point-defect processes, encompassing electronic, vibrational, and optical properties of defective solids--including some discussion of extended defects, such as dislocations and grain boundaries. Its wide scope offers perspectives on nonstoichiometry, fast-ion conduction, nonradiative transitions and their consequences, radiation damage and enhanced diffusion, radiolysis, and the photographic effect. A chapter on surfaces examines surface reconstruction and surface electronic states, in addition to related properties such as catalysis and corrosion. 1985 ed. 191 figures. 43 tables. Supplementary Reading. References. Index.

Ivory-Billed Woodpecker by James T. Tanner, ISBN 0486428370
Long thought extinct, the elusive Ivory-billed Woodpecker is now in the news because of its rediscovery in a remote region of Arkansas. This book is a fascinating and comprehensive study of the remarkable bird. It was originally published by the National Audubon Society in 1942 when the Ivory-bill's survival was in danger and only few of the species could still be found in the southern United States. It opens with a general description (explaining how to distinguish the Ivory-bill from its more commonly encountered cousin, the Pileated Woodpecker) and offers an extensive profile of the species' other characteristics and habits, including its original distribution patterns; the history of its disappearance; and its feeding, nesting, and breeding habits. 20 halftones. 17 tables. 22 other illustrations.
