But the monster is too strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grips. Now with a baby to care for, she's determined to be the one deciding when and how much, the one calling the shots. Kristina thinks she can control the urge, the addiction, the monster trying to drag her down. And once it's got hold of you, this monster will never let you go. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. Told in verse, the book presents a harrowing and disturbing look at addiction and the damage that it inflicts.īook Synopsis Crank. Written by the leading international experts in the field, the Springer Handbook of Glass represents an invaluable resource for graduate students through academic and industry researchers working in photonics, optoelectronics, materials science, energy, architecture, and more.About the Book Based on true events, this sequel to "Crank" continues the story of Kristina and her descent back to hell. The remaining parts cover a wide and representative range of applications areas from optics and photonics through environment, energy, architecture, and sensing. The fifth part presents a range of laboratory and industrial glass processing methods. The fourth part covers modeling, from first-principles calculations through molecular dynamics simulations, and statistical modeling. The third part features detailed descriptions of modern characterization techniques for understanding this complex state of matter. The second part provides dedicated chapters on each individual glass type, covering traditional systems like silicates and other oxide systems, as well as novel hybrid amorphous materials and spin glasses.
The first part covers fundamental properties, from the current understanding of the thermodynamics of the amorphous state, kinetics, and linear and nonlinear optical properties through colors, photosensitivity, and chemical durability.
Opening with an enlightening contribution on the history of glass, the volume is then divided into eight parts.
This handbook provides comprehensive treatment of the current state of glass science from the leading experts in the field.
