The interferometer is a versatile instrument which has played a
central role in many developments in physics. Its uses include
measurements of fine and hyperfine structure in atomic spectra,
precision measurements of the velocity of light, studies of isotope
shift and nuclear structure. It has contributed to recent work in
remote sensing, optical bistability, plasma physics, atomic
physics, light scattering spectroscopy and astrophysics.
Henri Bergson (1859-1941) is one of the truly great philosophers of
the modernist period, and there is currently a major renaissance of
interest in his unduly neglected texts and ideas amongst
philosophers, literary theorists, and social theorists. Creative
Evolution (1907) is the text that made Bergson world-famous in his
own lifetime; in it Bergson responds to the challenge presented to
our habits of thought by modern evolutionary theory, and attempts
to show that the theory of knowledge must have its basis in a
theory of life.
Psychiatry and Empire brings together scholars in the History of
Medicine and Colonialism to explore questions of race, gender and
power relations in former colonial states across Africa, Asia, the
Caribbean and the Pacific. Focusing on the intellectual histories
of concepts of mental illness, mental healing and strategies of
coping and resistance, this volume advances our understanding of
the rise of modern psychiatry as it collided with, and sometimes
underpinned, the psychology of colonial rule.

More than six decades after Hiroshima and almost two since the end
of the Cold War, the US nuclear weapons stockpile is undergoing an
extensive and expensive life-extension program to ensure the
continued safety, security, and reliability of the legacy weapons
well into the future. The current stockpile does not meet post-Cold
War national security challenges. Today's challenge is to sustain
and modernize the US nuclear weapons infrastructure with minimal
risk and cost. Lt Col Ed Vaughan advocates that to mitigate the
risks and address the highly uncertain future security environment,
the recapitalization of US nuclear weapons should begin
immediately.
Beginning with the development of the nuclear bomb in 1945, the US
has maintained a leadership role in nuclear weapons design.
However, since the end of the Cold War, the nuclear weapons complex
(NWC) (created to design, manufacture, maintain, test and
ultimately dismantle nuclear weapons and their components) has
consolidated and been insufficiently maintained. The Undersecretary
of Defense for Policy, Douglas Feith, summarized the NWC status in
Congressional testimony, "For example, the United States today is
the only nuclear weapons state that cannot remanufacture
replacements or produce new nuclear weapons." The US must reverse
this trend.
