Some examples of controlled processes are: •Controlling the temperature of a water stream by controlling the amount of steam added to the shell of a heat exchanger. •Operating a jacketed reactor isothermally by controlling the mixture of cold water and steam that flows through the jacket of a jacketed reactor. •Maintaining a set ratio of reactants to be added to a reactor by controlling their flow rates. •Controlling the height of fluid in a tank to ensure that it does not overflow.5762018-09-07T17:22:11Z2024-01-05T19:00:03ZHuman Biology<img alt="Read more about Human Biology" title="Human Biology cover image" class="cover " width="627" height="812" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDk5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--cd73e50454d726381cd513da8ec4b86eb7744f47/0000HumanBiol.png" />This textbook has been created with several goals in mind: accessibility, customization, and student engagement—all while encouraging students toward high levels of academic scholarship.

At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then? First, it's a course that I have enjoyed teaching for many years, so I am very familiar with what a student really needs to take away from this class within the time constraints of a semester. Second, because it is a course that many students take, there is a greater opportunity to make an impact on more students' pocketbooks than if I were to start off writing a book for a highly specialized upper- level course. And finally, it was fun to research and write, and can be revised easily for inclusion as part of our next textbook, High School Biology.5622018-09-07T17:22:10Z2024-03-25T13:08:01ZIntroduction to Environmental Science - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Environmental Science - 2nd Edition" title="Introduction to Environmental Science - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="309" height="400" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDg1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--fa071d3c8b911214ab3e59d40e2e7d79f1ac3725/0000InEnvSci2.png" />This course uses the basic principles of biology and earth science as a context for understanding environmental policies and resource management practices. Our planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges, from oil spills to global climate change. In ENSC 1000, you will learn about the science behind these problems; preparing you to make an informed, invaluable contribution to Earth's future. I hope that each of you is engaged by the material presented and participates fully in the search for, acquisition of, and sharing of information within our class.5632018-09-07T17:22:10Z2024-03-25T13:08:02ZConcepts of Fitness and Wellness<img alt="Read more about Concepts of Fitness and Wellness" title="Concepts of Fitness and Wellness cover image" class="cover " width="309" height="400" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDg2LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--f7fc574332cdb95db8ed5f127001f569e3cb1b52/0000ConFitWel.png" />This open textbook for Concepts of Fitness and Wellness at Georgia Highlands College was created through a Round Seven ALG Textbook Transformation Grant.5672018-09-07T17:22:10Z2024-01-22T14:51:58ZMicrobiology for Allied Health Students<img alt="Read more about Microbiology for Allied Health Students" title="Microbiology for Allied Health Students cover image" class="cover " width="309" height="400" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDkwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--fc7e974f86d50a22652a6a46892f1b07b0528fb9/0000MiAlHeStu.png" />Microbiology for Allied Health Students is designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements for the single semester Microbiology course for non-majors and allied health students. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of Microbiology for Allied Health Students make the material interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. The scope and sequence of Microbiology for Allied Health Students has been developed and vetted with input from numerous instructors at institutions across the U.S. It is designed to meet the needs of most microbiology courses allied health students. With these objectives in mind, the content of this textbook has been arranged in a logical progression from fundamental to more advanced concepts. The opening chapters present an overview of the discipline, with individual chapters focusing on cellular biology as well as each of the different types of microorganisms and the various means by which we can control and combat microbial growth. The focus turns to microbial pathogenicity, emphasizing how interactions between microbes and the human immune system contribute to human health and disease. The last several chapters of the text provide a survey of medical microbiology, presenting the characteristics of microbial diseases organized by body system.5512018-09-07T17:22:09Z2024-01-22T14:51:58ZTo Catch the Rain<img alt="Read more about To Catch the Rain" title="To Catch the Rain cover image" class="cover " width="1136" height="1142" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDc1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--c612ad1060763ba7c189f6ec5215f8be98103087/9781947112049.png" />To Catch the Rain is targeted at makers – DIYers looking for practical solutions to water problems for themselves or their communities.

Attendance at American Chemical Society Green Chemistry & Engineering Conferences will instill such an ideal into any attendant because of the nearly universal appeal and possibilities in this novel approach to radicalizing the business of doing science and engineering.
