Painful secrets of a Japanese American woman's shattered childhood reverberate across a generation, affecting her gay son's life in unexpected ways.
Learn about the many biological and medical applications of ultrashort laser pulses. The authors highlight and explain how the briefness of these laser pulses permits the tracing of even the fastest processes in photo-active bio-systems. They also present a variety of applications that rely on the high peak intensity of ultrashort laser pulses. Easy-to-follow examples cover non-linear imaging techniques, optical tomography, and laser surgery.
To succeed in today's business world of tough and fast decision-makers, how a statement is made can be more important than what it says. Even the best ideas face resistance and rejection, as all too often people make the mistake of focusing solely on the content of their proposal and giving little thought to the way they will deliver it.In a two-year survey, customer research experts Miller and Williams studied 1,700 executives and discovered that good ideas are not enough; to make any sort of impact they must be delivered effectively. They reveal the five different types of decision maker, including Charismatics, Thinkers, Sceptics, Followers, and Controllers and show how to best sell ideas to each.Whether it be a proposal or a business plan, The 5 Paths to Persuasion unlocks the secrets of persuasion necessary to present any kind of idea successfully.
The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Volume 121 contains the latest research on polymer melts at solid surfaces, infrared lineshapes of weak hydrogen bonds, ab initio quantum molecular dynamics, and many other subjects.
Kenneth A. Shaw’s book is a unique combination of theoretical ideology and practical advice on the art and skill of leadership. He offers a concise definition of leadership as a process of persuasion and demonstrates how specific methods are applied to reach that goal. The book covers a wide range of topics such as self-awareness, conflict resolution, motivating others, decision making, communicating effectively, and group dynamics. Shaw’s work encompasses broader views of leadership including issues of diversity and ethics, international leadership, and women in leadership roles. He draws on his extraordinary personal experience to present concrete examples of leadership successes. This...
The book is devoted to the consideration of the different processes taking place in thin films and at surfaces. Since the most important physico-chemical phenomena in such media are accompanied by the rearrangement of an intra- and intermolecular coordinates and consequently a surrounding molecular ensemble, the theory of radiationless multi-vibrational transitions is used for its description. The second part of the book considers the numerous surface phenomena. And in the third part is described the preparation methods and characteristics of different types of thin films. Both experimental and theoretical descriptions are represented. Media rearrangement coupled with the reagent transformat...

In view of the rapid growth in both experimental and theoretical studies of multiphoton processes and multiphoton spectroscopy of atoms, ions and molecules in chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, etc., it is desirable to publish an Advanced Series that contains review papers readable not only by active researchers in these areas, but also by those who are not experts in the field but who intend to enter the field. The present series attempts to serve this purpose. Each review article is written in a self-contained manner by the experts in the area so that the readers can grasp the knowledge in the area without too much preparation.It is hoped that the collection of topics in this volume will be useful not only to active researchers but also to other scientists in biology, chemistry, materials science and physics.
As a farm boy from northern Iceland, Eystein Thordarson achieved prominence in the world of international ski racing and competed in the Olympics. He did not even speak English when he arrived in the United States. He had to compete effectively with far more educated people. His experiences with international ski racing made that possible for him. Those experiences spanned five years and included two Winter Olympic Games. From 1960 into the early 1990s, the United States electronics industry was not only the fastest growing but also the most competitive in the world, where thousands of well-educated and qualified people desperately battled to climb the ladder of corporate success. During tho...
