This book has its origin in a proposal made a few years ago that I should collaborate with Dr H. J. Stern in the production of a third edition of his well-known text-book entitled Rubber: Natural and Synthetic. The sugges tion was that I should contribute a series of chapters on synthetic rubbers. Although, in the event, it has not proved possible to publish the full book in the form originally planned, it was apparent that, with some restructuring, the material which I had collected would be valuable as an independent summary of the chemistry and technology of synthetic rubbers. It is in this form that the material is now offered. The primary purpose of this book is to provide a brief up-to-date survey of the principal types of synthetic rubber which have been and are currently available. Two classes of material are included which are regarded by some as being thermoplastics rather than rubbers, namely, plasticised polyvinyl chloride and the thermoplastic synthetic rubbers. The topics which are covered for each main family of synthetic rubbers are (i) the sources of the monomers, (ii) polymerisation procedures and the effects of important polymerisation variables upon the rubber produced, (iii) the types of rubber currently available commercially, (iv) interesting aspects of the compounding of the rubbers, with special reference to such matters as vulcanisation, reinforcement, protection against degradation, and (where appropriate) plasticisation, and (v) an indication of applications."

Synthetic rubbers
Good for people who like adventure, travel, tough female heroines, humour, and a western setting. Great introduction to western genre for people who don't think they like Westerns. Not your traditional western book though, so people who want gunfights and lone rangers may not appreciate it. Strong sexual content at times, but I enjoyed it.
The book ends on a very romantic note. I am not sure that romance readers would enjoy waiting as long as it takes for the romance to kick in, and it is a bit unexpected when it does. Still, it ends on a sweet note.
Character: I cannot fathom how anyone who enjoys character would not enjoy strong-willed and eccentric Annie. I really enjoyed Annie and all the antics she gets into and wished there was another book about her. How she responds to these situations is always as sassy and quick witted as I would like to be. Her ragtag assortments of secondary characters were just as good: lewd Jonas Newcastle, under-appreciated culinary genius Sam Two Trees, and pet cheetah Nebakanezer (to name a few).
Story: Bizarre and unexpected, the oddest things end up happening to Annie who is along for the wild ride. First her husband dies, then inhabits her body, she becomes a famous mystic, tours with a circus, gets kidnapped by cowboy bandits, and is rescued by a hunk. It is a wild ride through all of her experiences.
Setting: Wild West- Arizona territory in 1890's and then travels all over the states. Setting is a big part of the novel and this places it firmly in the Western genre.
Language: Memorable for it is western slang and accents which peppers all of the dialogue. Not particularly hard to read, but has a diverse vocabulary which excited me.
