Le temps immobile T09
Avec ce neuvième tome du Temps immobile, Claude Mauriac atteint l'avant-dernière étape d'une entreprise folle, mais qui appartient déjà à l'histoire de la littérature. Le titre de ce nouveau volume est à lui seul un symbole. En effet, l'arrière-grand-père, le grand-père et le père de François Mauriac étaient négociants en bois merrains à Bordeaux, sous le nom de Mauriac et fils - appellation qui, dans les familles où les fils succèdent aux pères, a des implications plus intimes que commerciales. C'est le mystère de la transmission, donc du temps, que ce livre s'applique à célébrer avec une sensibilité parfaite : chronique des plaisirs et des jours offerte en contrepoint à la symphonie de l'histoire, drames privés et événements publics, grande politique et petites histoires se trament alors en une sorte de Journal des Goncourt revisité par le nouveau roman.
Handbook of Microscopy
Handbook of Microscopy is a manual that deals mainly with the basic instruments and techniques used in light microscopy and its biological applications. A large section is devoted to the study of organic matter in microfossils preserved in rocks, in view of its stratigraphic importance in mining and oil prospecting. This text is comprised of six chapters; the first of which introduces the reader to the basic principles as well as to the instruments and techniques used in light microscopy. This book also discusses the microscopes and electronic flashlights for photomicrography, along with the use of monochromatic light, stereological and physicochemical microanalysis, microanalysis by electron microscopy, and microdetermination of physical values. Attention then turns to staining and impregnation and methods of fixation, examination, cutting, and mounting. The remaining chapters focus on the microscopy of topological stains and non-specific cytological stains, with emphasis on special methods used in animal and plant histology and protistology and mycological methods in pathology. This book is written specifically for microscopists.

Arrian: Periplus Ponti Euxini
This work contains Arrian's Greek text "Periplus Ponti Euxini", with an introduction, commentary and facing-page translation. It describes a tour taken by the Roman senator around the Black Sea and gives an insight into the cultural and political background of the early second century.
A History of Chinese Mathematics
This book is made up of two parts, the first devoted to general, historical and cultural background, and the second to the development of each subdiscipline that together comprise Chinese mathematics. The book is uniquely accessible, both as a topical reference work, and also as an overview that can be read and reread at many levels of sophistication by both sinologists and mathematicians alike.
Lawrence and His Laboratory
The Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California, was the birthplace of particle accelerators, radioisotopes, and modern big science. This first volume of its history is a saga of physics and finance in the Great Depression, when a new kind of science was born. Here we learn how Ernest Lawrence used local and national technological, economic, and manpower resources to build the cyclotron, which enabled scientists to produce high-voltage particles without high voltages. The cyclotron brought Lawrence forcibly and permanently to the attention of leaders of international physics in Brussels at the Solvay Congress of 1933. Ever since, the Rad Lab has played a prominent part on the world stage. The book tells of the birth of nuclear chemistry and nuclear medicine in the Laboratory, the discoveries of new isotopes and the transuranic elements, the construction of the ultimate cyclotron, Lawrence's Nobel Prize, and the energy, enthusiasm, and enterprise of Laboratory staff. Two more volumes are planned to carry the story through the Second World War, the establishment of the system of national laboratories, and the loss of Berkeley's dominance of high-energy physics.
Illustrious Immigrants: The Intellectual Migration from Europe, 1930-41
“Migration from Europe has occurred without interruption since the time America was discovered. There have always been some intellectuals, educated abroad, whose presence and work enriched our culture. Laura Fermi, however, analyzes a new and unique phenomenon in the history of immigration, the wave of intellectuals from continental Europe that from 1930 to 1941 brought to these shores well over 20,000 professional refugees. Most immigrant intellectuals were pushed out of the European continent by the dictatorships of that period; they were ‘the men and women who came to America fully made, with their Ph.D.’s or diplomas from art academies or music conservatories in their pocket, and w...
Big Science
Physicists, historians, and anthropologists examine the transition of research in the physical sciences from the individuals or small groups after World War II, to the huge projects that now involve hundreds of scientists. The 13 papers, from a 1988 workshop at Stanford University, consider the American, European, and Japanese experience. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
