This monograph (in two volumes) deals with non scalar variational problems arising in geometry, as harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds and minimal graphs, and in physics, as stable equilibrium configuations in nonlinear elasticity or for liquid crystals. The presentation is selfcontained and accessible to non specialists. Topics are treated as far as possible in an elementary way, illustrating results with simple examples; in principle, chapters and even sections are readable independently of the general context, so that parts can be easily used for graduate courses. Open questions are often mentioned and the final section of each chapter discusses references to the literature and sometimes supplementary results. Finally, a detailed Table of Contents and an extensive Index are of help to consult this monograph

When Keith and Allan Wharton set out for fresh water on the remote South Pacific island in their trading schooner, Malola, they had no idea that they were about to be ruthlessly attacked by criminals that were stranded, ship-wrecked on the island. Keith and the two remaining crew swear to take vengeance on the criminals who eventually migrate back to New York City. The four criminals have their own secrets and their own jealousies. Keith pairs up with detective, Bob Clinton, of the United States Secret Service. Going underground they find that the trail of the four is fraught with danger to themselves and to Doris Marland, who is somehow related to the four and the mysterious mahogany box, which seems to be the prize piece.
