Following taken from the preface: ''This book developed from a short course I gave in October 1966 at the University of California Extension in connection with the San Francisco Science Symposium. The course, in turn, was based largely on my review paper. As the material progressed from the review article through the lectures to this book, the emphasis was changed. The article was intended to present a summary of knowledge and recent results to an audience already thoroughly familiar with the principles of laser operation. The lectures were intended to reach a wider audience, but because of time limitations a basic knowledge of laser physics had to be assumed. Here some material relating to… Read More

BINDING/CONDITION: printed boards; black with yellow and green; a severe spine slant, otherwise Near Fine condition.. 8vo (9.75 inches tall) . Description: The publisher's blurb reads: ''When genomics and public health are integrated into society it will create as many responsibilities as rights for citizens, researchers, and decision makers. Indeed, the expression of genetic risk factors in both common and infectious diseases is of great interest to public health. Policy development in this area then needs to tackle crucial themes such as: research and its application to public heath and genomic medicine, the authority of the state, the right to privacy, and the roles and responsibilities of citizens and the State. Considering the current fears of world-wide pandemic, this book is timely and insightful exploration of both research possibilities and the role of the state.'' (Remember this prophetic blurb was written in 2007!)

In fact, two aspects of geology, both geomorphic in expression, dominate most such scenes: structural patterns associated with tectonic actions and water-, wave-, wind-, and ice-generated landforms. Although this is also true for many aerial photographs, the main advantage of space imagery over the larger scale and more detailed aerial views stems from the synoptic or broad-area coverage possible from orbiting… Read More

But most of the available sources concentrate on the maneuvers of armies and panzer corps, leaving the divisions, regiments, and individual soldiers in the back ground. This fact has obscured skillful use of tactics employed by the German solders at the divisional level and below. Until now, this information has been sequestered in manuscript reports in various archives. Professor Newton has retrieved, retranslated and annotated the detailed tactical accounts… Read More
