The one portable camping source for the occasional or new camper who wants to minimize the planning, preparation, cost, and stress, and focus instead on the enjoyment of the camping experience. No need for encyclopedic books and manuals explaining every kind of gear, knot, boot, and campfire meal; Camping, Simple and Cheap is an easy-to-read handbook that cuts through the confusion and focuses on the basic principles:

Camping must be simpleCamping must be cheapCamping must be enjoyable

Distilling years of practical experience in a small, portable handbook, it covers such useful topics as:

The benefits of camping versus hotel lodging (and theyre not all financial) Planning the trip and acquiring equipmentFast and simple meal planningCamping with children and petsDealing with weather and common discomfortsFun activities while campingOff-season and backpack/canoe camping

Perfect for individuals or families, Camping, Simple and Cheap is required reading for an enjoyable, yet low-cost and low-stress camping experience.

Reactive inkjet printing uses an inkjet printer to dispense one or more reactants onto a substrate to generate a physical or chemical reaction to form a product in situ. Thus, unlike traditional inkjet printing, the printed film chemistry differs to that of the initial ink droplets. The appeal of reactive inkjet printing as a chemical synthesis tool is linked to its ability to produce droplets whose size is both controllable and predictable, which means that the individual droplets can be thought of as building blocks where droplets can be added to the substrate in a high precision format to give good control and predictability over the chemical reaction.

The book starts by introducing the concept of using reactive inkjet printing as a building block for making materials. Aspects such as the behaviour of printed droplets on substrate and their mixing is discussed in the first chapters. The following chapters then discuss different applications of the technique in areas including additive manufacturing and silk production, production of materials used in solar cells, printed electronics, dentistry and tissue engineering.

Edited by two leading experts, Reactive Inkjet Printing: A Chemical Synthesis Tool provides a comprehensive overview of this technique and its use in fabricating functional materials for health and energy applications. The book will appeal to advanced level students in materials science.
