Beam Acceleration In Crystals And Nanostructures - Proceedings Of The Workshop
"Recent advancements in generation of intense X-ray laser ultrashort pulses open opportunities for particle acceleration in solid-state plasmas. Wakefield acceleration in crystals or carbon nanotubes shows promise of unmatched ultra-high accelerating gradients and possibility to shape the future of high energy physics colliders. This book summarizes the discussions of the "Workshop on Beam Acceleration in Crystals and Nanostructures" (Fermilab, June 24-25, 2019), presents next steps in theory and modeling and outlines major physics and technology challenges toward proof-of-principle demonstration experiments"--Publisher's website.
Jews of Scranton
For one hundred fifty years, the Jewish residents of Scranton have contributed to the vitality of the city. In the nineteenth century, Jews immigrated to Scranton from Germany and eastern Europe, and Russian resettlement families arrived during the twentieth century. As merchants and manufacturers, they sold diamonds and groceries and produced dental supplies and ginger ale. They achieved recognition as doctors, lawyers, publishers, financiers, soldiers, and sailors. Dignitaries and scholars, such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Elie Wiesel, have been their guests, and they have hosted personalities and pop stars, such as Miss America and the Mouseketeers. Most consistently, the Orthodox, Conservative, and Reformed congregations of Scranton have established synagogues and community centers, maintaining a commitment to their faith and families that extends to the present day.

The Global Innovator
What makes a society innovative? Tracing the story of five great civilizations, from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, to the Middle East, Europe, the United States and China, this book will tell you. History offers us a model and lessons for what can be done right, and it shows how once mighty and innovative societies can fall. The story here departs from pundits who believe that the Western or American-style political and legal system is uni-versally best for economic success. At various times China, the Middle East and elsewhere were the great engines of innovation; later leadership passed to Europe and the United States. As some places rose to the top of science and technology, others fell...
The Cynic Enlightenment
Reveals the importance of ancient Cynicism in defining the Enlightenment and its legacy. This book explores modernity's debt to Cynicism by examining the works of thinkers who turned to the ancient Cynics and dared to imagine an alliance between a socially engaged Enlightenment and the least respectable of early Greek philosophies.
Pietas Humanistica
This collection of articles presents many aspects of the pietas humanistica - a very special mixture of Christian and classical tradition. The book offers a synthesis of Latin humanistic religious poetry in Poland from the 15th to the 18th century, taking into account its broad European context. The authors discuss literary genres, especially prayer and its function, the structure of the speaking subject, biblical motifs and their interpretation or re-reading, the usage of classical tradition, as well as lexical and phraseological aspects (Christian verses vs. pagan sources), an rhetorical structure of poems. An important part of the book consists of articles focused on theological aspects of poetry, i.e. studies in the history of ideas as well as discussing poetry in the context of fundamental theological controversies and medieval tradition.
