Electron microscopy is now a mainstay characterization tool for
solid state physicists and chemists as well as materials
scientists. Containing the proceedings from the Electron Microscopy
and Analysis Group (EMAG) conference in September 2003, this volume
covers current developments in the field, primarily in the UK.
These conferences are biennial events organized by the EMAG of the
Institute of Physics to provide a forum for discussion of the
latest developments in instrumentation, techniques, and
applications of electron and scanning probe microscopies.

A story of betrayals and the pursuit of an unattainable redemption,
The Cold Line Crosses follows the lives of three friends - Mark and
Dianna Jacobs, and widower Jimmy Young - whose once indelible
friendship and peaceful lives in the San Juan Islands are forever
changed by the death of the young woman they loved,
nineteen-year-old Jessie, Jimmy's only child. Almost a year has
passed since Jessie drowned in the icy ocean waters off Depot
Island, a year which has seen Mark and Dianna slip deeper into
their own separate worlds of despondency and isolation, a year that
has witnessed a father's grief turn to anger and seen him,
apparently, close the door on his daughter's life and death.
Seemingly content to pour his days into work at his beloved
Campground, a popular tavern and historic landmark that he owns
with Mark and Dianna, and his nights into gambling binges at the
tribal casino, Jimmy appears to be the island rock he's always
been. But Mark's grief, fueled by a solitary guilt that he may have
been responsible for Jessie's decision to enter the ocean waters
that fateful October night, has become a defiling obsession. When a
group of men known to have ties with a racist organization on the
mainland sets up camp on the island during the peak of tourist
season, a situation that leads to a violent confrontation with
Mark, both Mark and Jimmy must, at last, reveal the knowledge that
each has withheld from the other concerning disturbing events that
unfolded in Jessie's life during her final days - revelations that
will ultimately test one man's faith in beliefs once trusted and
push the other towards an irrevocable path of retribution. The
author worked for several years as a counselor in a federal halfway
house and with troubled juveniles in a residential treatment
center. He lives in the Puget Sound with his wife and dogs.
