Days of Sorrow, Times of Joy
Days of Sorrow, Times of Joy is the story of the battle against seemingly insurmountable obstacles of death, disease, deprivation, riots and rebellion as told through the letters of the Gillison family. The discovery of a cache of family letters, written between 1859 and 1937, has made it possible to compile this remarkable, evocative and affecting story.Frances Clemmow tells the story of her Scottish grandfather, Dr Thomas Gillison, who went out to China in 1882 as a medical missionary, and of his sister Jane whose life as the wife of a South African doctor was to end in unimaginable tragedy. In some instances there are letters which give first hand accounts of key historical events such as...

Ranch in the Slocan
In 1888, a prosperous industrial family in Calne, Wiltshire, sent one of its younger sons, a lad judged to have no head for business, to Guelph Agricultural College in Ontario to learn to be a farmer. Joseph Colebrook Harris, the author’s grandfather, didn’t take to Ontario and after visiting a friend on Salt Spring Island, fell in love with BC. Eventually fetching up on the shores of the Slocan Lake, Joe bought 270 acres of hilly land in the Slocan Valley, less than thirty acres of which was really fit for farming, and began clearing the forest to build a ranch. Here is the story of Harris’s life and the next 120 years of the ranch’s, including the discovery of a silver–lead mine ...

La storia della Cina
«La Cina è un argomento vastissimo e incredibilmente ricco, anzi inesauribile.» Nei suoi quattro millenni di storia ha conosciuto mutamenti di così vasta portata da non avere paragoni, e tuttavia nel popolo cinese sono sempre rimasti saldi gli sforzi per costruire società stabili rette da ordine e giustizia, per generare arte e bellezza, e per la salvaguardia degli ideali di ciò che Confucio chiamava «questa nostra cultura». Ma da dove nasce questo senso di appartenenza, capace di resistere ai più drammatici periodi di crisi? Cosa ha contribuito a mantenere unito un paese tanto esteso, oggi superpotenza e seconda economia al mondo? E in che misura quei principi continueranno a plasm...

Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
TO THE SECOND EDITION In the nine years since this book was first written, rapid progress has been made scientifically in nuclear fusion, space physics, and nonlinear plasma theory. At the same time, the energy shortage on the one hand and the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn on the other have increased the national awareness of the important applications of plasma physics to energy production and to the understanding of our space environment. In magnetic confinement fusion, this period has seen the attainment 13 of a Lawson number nTE of 2 x 10 cm -3 sec in the Alcator tokamaks at MIT; neutral-beam heating of the PL T tokamak at Princeton to KTi = 6. 5 keV; increase of average ß to 3%-5% ...
