From the reviews: "...A class in nanoscale science and technology is daunting for the educator, who must organize a large collection of materials to cover the field, and for the student, who must absorb all the new concepts. This textbook is an excellent resource that allows students from any engineering background to quickly understand the foundations and exciting advances of the field. The example problems with answers and the long list of references in each chapter are a big plus for course tutors. The book is organized into seven sections. The first, nanoscale fabrication and characterization, covers nanolithography, self-assembly, and scanning probe microscopy. Of these, we enjoyed the ...
Alger, décembre 1956. La ville est plongée dans la violence depuis maintenant plusieurs mois. Aux attentats du FLN répondent les exactions des fanatiques de l’Algérie française.Sous la pression des événements, le gouverneur général Robert Lacoste décide de faire appel aux parachutistes du général Massu pour rétablir l’ordre et pacifier la ville, par tous les moyens.Au même moment, des jeunes filles sont tuées dans le quartier européen.Deux flics, qui se haïssent de tout leur être, sont chargés de l’enquête. Pour l’inspecteur principal Brochard, l’assassin ne peut être qu’un arabe, un type du FLN. Mais son adjoint est d’un avis différent.Quand le capitaine Jourdan arrive de Suez avec la 10e Division Parachutiste, il sait que l’opération militaire de grande envergure qui va avoir lieu, sera étudiée attentivement par de nombreux observateurs étrangers. Croiser le colonel Hollyman, ancien patron des opérations spéciales à l’OSS et vieille connaissance d’Indochine, n’est donc pas vraiment une surprise.En revanche, être mêlé à une enquête de police civile aux relents plus qu’inquiétants, ça n’était pas du tout au programme

Scholarship on ancient Pyrrhonism has made tremendous advances over the past three decades, thanks especially to the careful reexamination of Sextus Empiricus’ extant corpus. Building on this momentum, the authors of the eight essays collected here examine some of the most vexed and intriguing exegetical and philosophical questions posed by Sextus’ presentation of this form of skepticism. The essays explore in a new light the skeptical interpretation of Plato, the differences between Pyrrhonism and Cyrenaicism, the Pyrrhonist’s stance on ordinary life, religion, language, and ethics, Sextus’ discussion of our access to our own mental states, and the relationship between Pyrrhonism and epistemic internalism and externalism. These new essays represent a substantial contribution to the advancement of scholarship on Pyrrhonian skepticism.
