Mosaic, History and Technique
"In this book Peter Fischer traces the achievements of the artist-craftsman in mosaic, from the colored clay pegs arranged in patterns on the pillars of Uruk around 2500 BC up to the present day, discusses the architectural function, and illuminates the religious, social and scientific background which shaped the various forms of the mosaic."--Book jacket.

Fischer (perhaps best known as the creator of the TV series "Murder, she wrote") recollects his career in television, rubbing elbows with Angela Lansbury, Peter Falk, Jerry Orbach, Glenn Ford, Lorne Greene, Sam Elliott, Rock Hudson, Robert Urich, Hal Linden, Robert Young, Telly Savalas, Roger Moore, Robert Culp, William Devane, Robert Blake, and others.
Beauty and the Beast
Showing how the aesthetic delights of thought, analysis, research, and discovery are leading components of the scientific mind and process, he examines everything from snowflakes to the overall makeup of the space-time continuum. He explores these concepts and others including the golden mean, evolution, symmetry in nature, as well as imaginary numbers and irrationality as proof of beauty in science. He presents truth as a state of beauty - and beauty as the embodiment of truth. This book will appeal to lay people and scientists alike.

International Migration, Immobility and Development
The study of international migration and ethnic relations is rapidly expanding in the social sciences, in the humanities, and in law and medicine at universities around the world. Theories and methods are borrowed from many disciplines, but with little cross-fertilization, thereby leaving many core issues out. This authoritative book fills a gap by providing an expertly integrated overview of international migration from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives. Throughout the book, South to North migration is used as the main example.The authors, leading experts in their fields, ask provocative new questions such as the counterfactual, `Why do people not migrate?' and address old questions in fresh ways in a language accessible for students in a range of disciplines. Does migration from less developed countries stimulate or obstruct development? Does development reduce or increase the flows of migration? What are the dynamics of a migration process? Geography, economics, political science, social anthropology and sociology all inform this book, which is certain to become an established text in migration studies.
Pixel Detectors
Pixel detectors are a particularly important class of particle and radiation detection devices. They have an extremely broad spectrum of applications, ranging from high-energy physics to the photo cameras of everyday life. This book is a general purpose introduction into the fundamental principles of pixel detector technology and semiconductor-based hybrid pixel devices. Although these devices were developed for high-energy ionizing particles and radiation beyond visible light, they are finding new applications in many other areas. This book will therefore benefit all scientists and engineers working in any laboratory involved in developing or using particle detection.
