An Introduction to High-Pressure Science and Technology

Editors Recio, Men<’e>ndz, and de la Roza present readers with a collection of contributions from experts in the field of high-pressure science. The selections include the theoretical and experimental aspects of the field, as well as application in a wide variety of fields like physics, biology, chemistry, and geology. The sixteen chapters that make up the main body of the text are organized in three sections devoted to theory, experimental techniques, and applications. J. Manuel Recio is a faculty member of the University of Oviedo, Spain. J. Manuel Men<’e>ndez is a faculty member of the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Alberto Otero de la Roza is with the National Institute for Nanotechnology, Canada. All three are with the Malta Consolider Team. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
