Product Description

Technically, an aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas. Examples are smoke, oceanic haze, air pollution, smog and CS gas. In general conversation, 'aerosol' usually refers to an aerosol spray can or the output of such a can. The word aerosol derives from the fact that matter 'floating' in air is a suspension (a mixture in which solid or liquid or combined solid-liquid particles are suspended in a fluid). To differentiate suspensions from true solutions, the term sol evolved - originally meant to cover dispersions of tiny (sub-microscopic) particles in a liquid. With studies of dispersions in air, the term aerosol evolved and now embraces both liquid droplets, solid particles, and combinations of these. An aerosol may come from sources as various as a volcano or an aerosol can. This book focuses on the chemistry, environmental impact and health effects of aerosols.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love story set against glorious New York background, Sep 20 2003

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Gilded Spring (Paperback)

"Gilded Spring" is the story of Kate and Adam Remington, a New York professional couple. Both have successful careers: Adam as a stockbroker, Kate as an advertising executive. But when Kate begins to show signs of endometriosis and her doctor suggests she get pregnant as a way of correcting the problem, Kate and Adam decide to start a family.

Kate gets pregnant immediately, but after their initial euphoria, problems and doubts start to appear. Each resents the large amount of time the other spends at work, and they also wonder what they're getting into by becoming parents sooner than they planned. It takes a near-crisis to set things right.

I enjoyed this book. The glorious background of a New York spring made a beautiful setting. My only complaint, (a small one), is that Kate's getting pregnant almost instantly seems a little unbelievable for a woman facing a fertility problem. Otherwise, it's a good story.
