A compilation of lectures and talks given to some Catholic laity organisations in Nigeria on contemporary religious, social and political issues

Beginners in the subject find it difficult to get into the technical literacy ladder, taken for granted by experienced practitioners. This book presents fundamental knowledge in Chemical Engineering Mass Transfer in easily understandable form by explaining, in worked examples, basic Mass Transfer definitions and calculation procedures which form the building blocks of many sophisticated computer algorithms.

This book starts from the fundamentals to the professional level, academic, practical and industrial classification and understanding of the many types and mechanisms of chemical reactions before illustrating the generalised kinetics and stoichiometry which may be applied to them. Several typical and numerical problems are solved in chemical kinetics, stoichiometry, material and energy balances relevant to the chemical engineering aspects of chemical reactor design.

Graffiti Revisited is a commentary, in verse, on the apparent evidence that, in spite of the phenomenal progress the human race seems to have made, nothing seems to have changed in the conduct of both private and public human affairs.It seems, currently, fashionable to question religious values, to de-emphasize personal discipline and responsibility and to explore new meanings of, and expand the boundaries to, human rights. None of this is new as this has been the cyclical habit of humanity in previous societies and civilizations.What is, also, habitual, is that there is always a small minority of persons and groups who lament, struggle to prevent, to reverse or postpone, what, always, appears to be too hasty a stampede of humanity, against all received sense and reason, to self-destruction.Graffiti Revisited is one of such struggles, in verse. It is a review, and rewriting of some, of the poems in the earlier edition, together with the addition of new poems written before and since the first GRAFFITI edition.

Technical literature, in heat conduction, in the competition to present the latest and state of the art knowledge in the subject, ends up being so advanced that beginners and students are lost before they even start. This book attempts to rectify this by i. starting every topic from the basics to the latest academic and practical, industrial application ii. providing a thorough and kaleidoscopic treatment of the concepts, theories, calculations methods and procedures, in heat conduction. iii. illustrating, in a question and answer format, several methods and procedures for the formulation and solution of a variety of problems in heat conduction.
