Harry M Miller

Confessions of a Not-so-secret Agent

By: Harry Maurice Miller,Peter Holder

Harry M Miller was a show business legend - he knew where the skeletons were buried. His witty anecdotes give a revealing snapshot of our times and a fascinating insight into the man himself. With a combination of hard work, chutzpah and a little luck, an ambitious young New Zealander by the name of Harry Maurice Miller was, for over four decades, one of the Australian media and entertainment industry's most influential men. He brought us Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, worked with Sammy Davis Jr, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, the Rolling Stones, Prince Charles, Marcia Hines, Graham Kennedy, Alan Jones, Ita Buttrose, Stuart Diver and Maggie Tabberer to name just a few. Lindy Chamberlain called him her Alsatian at the door - the perfect description for a man who wrangled the media to protect his clients and get the best deal possible for them and for him. He looked after the 'A' list and helped the 'C' list cash in on their fifteen minutes of fame. Harry lived large, he achieved spectacular success and experienced heart-stopping failure in both business and relationships -none more dramatic than the ten-months he spent in prison. In this memorial edition of Harry M Miller: Confessions of a not-so-secret agent the man they called Harry M shares it all. It is a fascinating insight into entertainment, media and show biz from the man whose legend will live on.

Inorganic Polymers

By: James E. Mark,Harry R. Allcock,Robert West

Polymer chemistry and technology form one of the major areas of molecular and materials science. This field impinges on nearly every aspect of modern life, from electronics technology, to medicine, to the wide range of fibers, films, elastomers, and structural materials on which everyone depends. Although most of these polymers are organic materials, attention is being focused increasingly toward polymers that contain inorganic elements as well as organic components. The goal of Inorganic Polymers is to provide a broad overview of inorganic polymers in a way that will be useful to both the uninitiated and those already working in this field. There are numerous reasons for being interested in inorganic polymers. One is the simple need to know how structure affects the properties of a polymer, particularly outside the well-plowed area of organic materials. Another is the bridge that inorganic polymers provide between polymer science and ceramics. More and more chemistry is being used in the preparation of ceramics of carefully controlled structure, and inorganic polymers are increasingly important precursor materials in such approaches. This new edition begins with a brief introductory chapter. That is followed with a discussion of the characteristics and characterization of polymers, with examples taken from the field. Other chapters in the book detail the synthesis, reaction chemistry, molecular structure, and uses of polyphosphazenes, polysiloxanes, and polysilanes. The coverage in the second edition has been updated and expanded significantly to cover advances and interesting trends since the first edition appeared. Three new chapters have been added, focusing on ferrocene-based polymers, other phosphorous-containing polymers, and boron-containing polymers; inorganic-organic hybrid composites; and preceramic inorganic polymers.

Insanity and Genius

Masks of Madness and the Mapping of Meaning and Value (Second Edition)

By: Harry Eiss

In his book about the discovery of the structure of DNA, James Watson wrote, “So we had lunch, telling ourselves that a structure this beautiful just had to exist.” Indeed, the quest most often asked by scientists about a scientific theory is “Is it beautiful?” Yes, beauty equals truth. Scientists know, mathematicians know. But the beauties, the truths of mathematics and science were not the truths that inspired the author as a child, and he intuitively knew that the truths he needed come from a different way of knowing, a way of knowing not of the world of logic and reason and explanation (though they have a value), but rather a way of knowing that is of the world expression, a world that enters the truths beyond the grasp of logic. That is what this book is all about. It is an exploration of the greatest minds of human existence struggling to understand the deepest truths of the human condition. This second edition updates the previous one, incorporating new publications on Van Gogh, recent discoveries in neurology, psychology, and the rapid developments in understanding DNA and biotechnology. We’ve come a long way already from that original discovery by Watson and his coauthor Francis Crick.
