The Nature of Greek Myths
by G.S. Kirk (1974)
About this book
"Explores the insufficiency of all theories of myth to satisfactorily cover and explain all Greek cases, and does so by studying concrete examples. There is also an attempt to highlight what differentiates Greek myths from those of other traditions.

Forensic toxicology
Kalipatnapu N. Rao
"This book illustrates how analytical methods are set up, results are generated, and quality control is maintained in clinical toxicology laboratories. Geared to the practicing toxicologist who must be able to give a deposition and write a report for legal use, the book describes fifty case studies to show the progression of toxicology findings from the laboratory to the courtroom. Both civil and criminal cases are addressed, and interesting issues are explored, such as whether consumption of poppy seeds can result in a positive lab test for opiates"--
Millimeter and submillimeter wave spectroscopy of solids
G. Grüner
Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave Spectroscopy of Solids focuses on the experimental methods and recent experimental results which are currently employed in the millimeter wave spectral range. Time dome, Fourier transform, coherent source and resonant techniques are discussed by leading authorities in the field. The usefulness of the methods is discussed by reviewing experimental results on metals and semiconductors. Recent experiment covering modern topics such as correlation on metals, superconductors and confined quantum systems are also discussed. The volume is aimed at physicists, engineers and materials scientists interested in the dynamics of solid matter.
