When ten-year-old Daiter Popski moves into a new house in Nevada with his family, he can't wait to see his bedroom. To his surprise, his bedroom walls are already painted with beautifully colored pictures of a giant forest, a sandy desert, a sparkling ocean, and an erupting volcano. When his father unknowingly gives him a special magic stone, the walls come to life, allowing Daiter to travel into new worlds and meet incredible creatures. Unfortunately, by opening the doorway to these new worlds, Daiter releases Bullen Gongo, an evil tribal sorcerer who is determined to steal the five magic stones that give life to each world. It's a race against time as Daiter and the friends he meets along the way-Nickel, Zardo, Bullf, and others-attempt to protect the magic stones and use them to capture Bullen Gongo. But can they stop Bullen before he becomes too powerful and destroys all the worlds, including Daiter's?
This book presents the state of the art in nanoscale surface physics. It outlines contemporary trends in the field covering a wide range of topical areas: atomic structure of surfaces and interfaces, molecular films and polymer adsorption, biologically inspired nanophysics, surface design and pattern formation, and computer modeling of interfacial phenomena. Bridging "classical" and "nano" concepts, the present volume brings attention to the physical background of exotic condensed-matter properties. The book is devoted to Iwan Stranski and Rostislaw Kaischew, remarkable scientists, who played a crucial role in setting up the theoretical fundamentals of nucleation and crystal growth phenomena in the last century.
