Thermal Physics
Thermodynamics has benefited from nearly 100 years of parallel development with quantum mechanics. As a result, thermal physics has been considerably enriched in concepts, technique and purpose, and now has a dominant role in the developments of physics, chemistry and biology. This unique book explores the meaning and application of these developments using quantum theory as the starting point. The book links thermal physics and quantum mechanics in a natural way. Concepts are combined with interesting examples, and entire chapters are dedicated to applying the principles to familiar, practical and unusual situations. Together with end-of-chapter exercises, this book gives advanced undergraduate and graduate students a modern perception and appreciation for this remarkable subject.
Seriously Funny
The comedians of the 1950s and 1960s were a totally different breed of relevant, revolutionary performer from any that came before or after, comics whose humor did much more than pry guffaws out of audiences. Gerald Nachman presents the stories of the groundbreaking comedy stars of those years, each one a cultural harbinger: • Mort Sahl, of a new political cynicism • Lenny Bruce, of the sexual, drug, and language revolution • Dick Gregory, of racial unrest • Bill Cosby and Godfrey Cambridge, of racial harmony • Phyllis Diller, of housewifely complaint • Mike Nichols & Elaine May and Woody Allen, of self-analytical angst and a rearrangement of male-female relations • Stan Freber...

Fundamentals of Damage in Laser Glass
In spite of the fact that substantial amounts of money have been expended by both industry and the military, optically induced damage in glasses still limits the usefulness of laser-glass devices. It is believed that the existing material limitations are not insurmountable. It is therefore desirable to evaluate and review the efforts in various industrial and governmental laboratories to define the fundamental material limitations and to indicate steps in research and development necessary to reach those fundamental limits. The report outlines the several problems that need to be overcome to permit production of a laser glass having a damage threshold of 100 joules per sq cm while possessing the other qualities requisite for good high-durability laser glass. A program directed toward the solution of these problems is documented in the report. (Author).
