DendroScan
DendroScan is a system developed for measuring tree-ring width and density. Tree rings contain a record of diameter growth and carbon storage in the tree trunk. The width of the rings can be measured using a variety of systems, but the density (carbon storage) is most easily measured by X-ray densitometry. The DendroScan system eables the user to meaure both tree ring width and density, or just ring widths. The system can use prepared wood samples (for ring widths only) or X-ray images. DendroScan is fully described, with discussion of sample preparation, calibration procedures, and data analysis. Information and instructions for the user are included. The DendroScan program is enclosed on a DOS-formatted disk, along with a precalibrated precision wedge for converting X-ray images to density.

Losing Military Supremacy
"Marytanov explains why and how the US armed forces have lost the military supremacy they thought they once had and how Russia, which supposedly had been defeated in the Cold War, succeeded not only in catching up with USA, but actually surpassing it in many key domains such as long range cruise missiles, diesel-electric submarines, air defenses, electronic warfare, air superiority and many others. Andrei Martyanov's book is an absolute 'must read' for any person wanting to understand the reality of modern warfare and super-power competition." THE SAKER While exceptionalism is not unique to America, the intensity of their conviction and its global ramifications are. This view of its exceptio...

From Museum Critique to the Critical Museum
Since the late nineteenth century, museums have been cited as tools of imperialism and colonialism, as strongholds of patriarchalism, masculinism, homophobia and xenophobia, and accused both of elitism and commercialism. But, could the museum absorb and benefit from its critique, turning into a critical museum, into the site of resistance rather than ritual? This book looks at the ways in which the museum could use its collections, its cultural authority, its auratic space and resources to give voice to the underprivileged, and to take an active part in contemporary and at times controversial issues. Drawing together both major museum professionals and academics, it examines the theoretical concept of the critical museum, and uses case studies of engaged art institutions from different parts of the world. It reaches beyond the usual focus on western Europe, America, and ’the World’, including voices from, as well as about, eastern European museums, which have rarely been discussed in museum studies books so far.
Fairies Afield
"Fairies Afield" is a children's fantasy story written by Mary Louisa Molesworth, a well-known English children's author in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The book, published in 1902, is part of Molesworth's wide body of work, which includes a number of novels and stories for children. The story follows two siblings, Tottie and Tittie, as they go on a fantastic journey into the world of fairies. The children discover a secret road in the woods that leads them to the world of the fairies, where they meet a variety of wonderful creatures and participate in quirky and enchanting adventures. The kids become friends with fairies, elves, and other mystical creatures as they explore this magical realm. Like children's books from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the story is full with endearing moments and soft moral messages. The narratives of Molesworth highlight kindness, amazement, and inventiveness. "Fairies Afield" perfectly encapsulates the essence of beloved children's books with its themes of friendship, magic, and youthful innocence. For those who appreciate classic stories of magic and adventure, the novel is still enjoyable.
