The COSPAR Colloquium on Solar-Terrestrial Magnetic Activity and Space Environment (STMASE) was held in the National Astronomy Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) in Beijing, China in September 10-12, 2001. The meeting was focused on five areas of the solar-terrestrial magnetic activity and space environment studies, including study on solar surface magnetism; solar magnetic activity, dynamical response of the heliosphere; space weather prediction; and space environment exploration and monitoring. A hot topic of space research, CMEs, which are widely believed to be the most important phenomenon of the space environment, is discussed in many papers. Other papers show results of observational and theoretical studies toward better understanding of the complicated image of the magnetic coupling between the Sun and the Earth, although little is still known little its physical background. Space weather prediction, which is very important for a modern society expanding into out-space, is another hot topic of space research. However, a long way is still to go to predict exactly when and where a disaster will happen in the space. In that sense, there is much to do for space environment exploration and monitoring. The manuscripts submitted to this Monograph are divided into the following parts: (1) solar surface magnetism, (2) solar magnetic activity, (3) dynamical response of the heliosphere, (4) space environment exploration and monitoring; and (5) space weather prediction. Papers presented in this meeting but not submitted to this Monograph are listed by title as unpublished papers at the end of this book.
Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics merges two long-running serials--Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics and Advances in Optical and Electron Microscopy. The series features extended articles on the physics of electron devices (especially semiconductor devices), particle optics at high and low energies, microlithography, image science and digital image processing, electromagnetic wave propagation, electron microscopy, and the computing methods used in all these domains.
Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The Willardson and Beer series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in producing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials, Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices, Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise that this tradition will be maintained and even expanded.
This is a practical textbook written for use by engineers,
scientists and technicians. It is not intended to be a rigorous
scientific treatment of the subject material, as this would fill
several volumes. Rather, it introduces the reader to the
fundamentals of the subject material, and provides sufficient
references for an in-depth study of the subject by the interested
technologist. The author has a lifetime teaching credential in the
California Community College System. Also, he has taught technical
courses with the American Vacuum Society for about 35 years.
Students attending many of these classes have backgrounds varying
from high-school graduates to Ph.D.s in technical disciplines. This
is an extremely difficult class profile to teach. This book still
endeavors to reach this same audience. Basic algebra is required to
master most of the material. But, the calculus is used in
derivation of some of the equations. The author risks use of the
first person "I," instead of "the author," and "you" instead of
"the reader." Both are thought to be in poor taste when writing for
publication in the scientific community. However, "I" am writing
this book for "you" because the subject is exciting, and I enjoy
teaching you, perhaps, something new. The book is written more in
the vein of a "one-on-one" discussion with you, rather than the
author lecturing to the reader. There are anecdotes, and examples
of some failures and successes I have had over the last forty-five
years in vacuum related activities, I'll try not to understate
either.

Solid state physics is the branch of physics that is primarily
devoted to the study of matter in its solid phase, especially at
the atomic level. This prestigious serial presents timely and
state-of-the-art reviews pertaining to all aspects of solid state
physics.
This series, established in 1965, is concerned with recent developments in the general area of atomic, molecular, and optical physics. The field is in a state of rapid growth, as new experimental and theoretical techniques are used on many old and new problems. Topics covered also include related applied areas, such as atmospheric science, astrophysics, surface physics, and laser physics. Articles are written by distinguished experts who are active in their research fields. The articles contain both relevant review material and detailed descriptions of important recent developments.

Introduction to Relativity is intended to teach physics and
astronomy majors at the freshman, sophomore or upper-division
levels how to think about special and general relativity in a
fundamental, but accessible, way. Designed to render any reader a
"master of relativity," everything on the subject is comprehensible
and derivable from first principles. The book emphasizes problem
solving, contains abundant problem sets, and is conveniently
organized to meet the needs of both student and instructor.

This book is intended to help newly graduated chemists,
particularly organic chemists, at all levels from bachelors to
post-doctorates, find careers in the North American pharmaceutical
industry. It will serve as a practical, detailed guiedbook for job
seekers as well a reference work for faculty advisers, research
supervisors, development officers, employment agents, and personnel
managers in the industry. The book gathers in a single volume the
fundamentals of getting an industrial job as a medicinal or process
chemist, and covers all aspects of a chemist's job--scientific,
financial, and managerial--within a pharmaceutical/biotechnology
company. Other scientists looking for jobs as analytical or
physical chemists and even biochemists and biologists will find the
book useful. The valuable appendix is a unique compendium of 365
commercial, governmental, or non-profit institutions that comprise
the North American pharmaceutical industry.
The field of superconductivity has tremendous potential for growth
and further development in industrial applications. The subject
continues to occupy physicists, chemists, and engineers interested
in both the phenomena itself and possible financially viable
industrial devices utilizing the physical concepts. For the past
five years, within the publications of the American Physical
Society, for example, 40%-60% of all articles submitted to major
journals in the area of Solid State Physics have been on the
subject of superconductivity, including the newer, extremely
important subfield of high temperature superconductivity (high Tc).

laser physics.
Biology in Physics is a radical new book which bridges the gap
between biology and physics. The aim is to promote an
interdisciplinary exchange of scientific information and ideas, in
order to stimulate cooperation in research. The scope of this
volume explores both the concepts and techniques of biophysics and
illustrates the latest advances in our understanding of many of the
specific mechanisms that are used by living organisms. This volume
represents a special effort to bring together the information that
would allow a nonbiologically oriented physicist to appreciate the
important role that physics plays in life sciences.
This series provides a venue for longer reviews of current advances in geophysics. Written at a level accessible to graduate students, the articles serve to broaden knowledge of various fields and may be useful in courses and seminars.
