* 'Great art has dreadful manners...' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. 'The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs.

Although the book could be read from cover to cover, our assumption is that user researchers will dip in and out of the book, somewhat like a bedside or coffee-break reader.

Sedimentation of particles, both singly and at high concentrations, flow in packed and fluidised beads and filtration are then examined.
