This volume is part 2 of a comprehensive treatise on the theory and applications of electron-diffraction techniques, and has been organized under the auspices of the Electron Diffraction Commission of the International Union of Crystallography.

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Physics brings together cutting-edge writing by more than twenty leading authorities on the history of physics from the seventeenth century to the present day. By presenting a wide diversity of studies in a single volume, it provides authoritative introductions to scholarly contributions that have tended to be dispersed in journals and books not easily accessible to the general reader. While the core thread remains the theories and experimental practices of physics, the Handbook contains chapters on other dimensions that have their place in any rounded history. These include the role of lecturing and textbooks in the communication of knowledge, the contribution of instrument-makers and instrument-making companies in providing for the needs of both research and lecture demonstrations, and the growing importance of the many interfaces between academic physics, industry, and the military.

Gottingen ist mit den Aufgaben und Zielen der Deutschen Gesellschaft fUr Medizinische Dokumentation, Informatik und Statistik (GMDS) nicht nur durch die yom 3. - 5. Oktober 1977 stattgefundene 22. Jahrestagung verbunden. Schon durch den Mathematiker Felix B ern s t e i n, dem anlaBlich seines 100. Geburtstages eine Diplomarbeit aus dem Mathe- matisch-Statistischen Institut der Universitat Gotting n gewidmet worden ist, wurden bereits vor dem ersten Weltkrieg und in den darauf- folgenden Jahren grundlegende mathematisch-statistische Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet des Versicherungswesens und der Humangenetik durchgefUhrt. Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg hat H 0 s e man n in Gottingen die Ver- fahren der maschinellen Lochkartendokumentation zur Datensammlung als Grundlage statistischer Verfahren fUr die Universitats-Frauenklinik eingesetzt. Ein Teil seiner Entwicklungen, besonders auf dem Gebiet der Erfassung und Standardisierung der gynakologischen Karzinome werden heute noch verwendet. Ende 1952 und 1954 war Gottingen Tagungsort der Untergruppe Medizin der Deutschen Gesellschaft fUr Dokumentation (DGD) und nach GrUndung des "ArbeitsausschuB Medizin" in der DGD, dem direkten Vorlaufer unserer Gesellschaft, wurde die e r s t e Jahrestagung in Gottingen mit dem Thema: "Lochkarten und Randlochkarten im klinischen Gebrauch" durchgefUhrt.

The volumes in this series are collections of essays devoted to a single reaction, or a definite phase of a reaction, of wide applicability. The subjects are presented from the preparative viewpoint and particular attention is given to the limitations, interfering influences, effects of structure and the selection of experimental techniques. Each chapter includes several detailed procedures illustrating the significant modifications of the method.

The Global Lab tells the story of a group of organizations and corporations using low-income countries as a laboratory. It reveals experiments with untested technologies, biometric humanitarian solutions, and radical methodologies for social change. The book maps out the political, institutional, and ethical coordinates of emergent transnational practices of experimentation, asking where and how this movement works, while unfolding the human, philosophical, and political consequences of its ideas and interventions. The book takes the reader through Silicon Valley, Africa, and Asia to understand the tangible and transformative implications of contemporary human experimentation. It follows a set of main protagonists, from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to experimental economists known as the randomistas, to humanitarian organizations and pharmaceutical companies. These actors form a movement inspired by the logic of Silicon Valley about the need for fast-paced radical change and societal disruption, technological innovation as progress, and the privatization and commercialization of the human mind and body. Ultimately, the book examines the inequality of experimentation that is found in the erection of walls between us and them, and the imagined universal and often unquestioned value of scientific and technological progress.
