The Stars Who Bleed


Book Description

After Princess River is deposed in the line of succession, she resolves to master her magic at any cost to retake her crown and restore peace to her war-torn land. Her sister, Iris, however, thirsts to avenge the slaughter of her kingdom, even if it means forgoing peace. Ky, heir to the Spitarian throne, struggles to balance running his kingdom while keeping both his father's imprisonment and his increasing feelings for River a secret. He knows River must chase her own dreams, so he keeps the prophecy of their pregnancy and her death hidden. Once the kingdom's children go missing, River and Iris must put aside their differences. While River and Ky attempt to secure alliances with the Spitarian people, Iris searches for leads on the taken innocents, and then she too disappears without a trace.

Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions


Book Description

The statistical mechanical theory of liquids and solutions is a fundamental area of physical sciences with important implications for many industrial applications. This book shows how you can start from basic laws for the interactions and motions of microscopic particles and calculate how macroscopic systems of these particles behave, thereby explaining properties of matter at the scale that we perceive. Using this microscopic, molecular approach, the text emphasizes clarity of physical explanations for phenomena and mechanisms relevant to fluids, addressing the structure and behavior of liquids and solutions under various conditions. A notable feature is the author’s treatment of forces between particles that include nanoparticles, macroparticles, and surfaces. The book also provides an expanded, in-depth treatment of polar liquids and electrolytes.
