of progress has been made in the development of In the last twenty years a great amount new magnetic materials. Permanent magnets have progressed from the AlNiCo's (with (BH)m-8 MGOe) to the strong rare-earth magnets of SmCo BH)m-20 MGOe), Sm2(Co, Fe, Cu, Zrh7 s BH)m-30 MGOe) and the recently discovered Nd-Fe-B super-magnets with (BH)m-50 MGOe. For years the magnetic storage industry has employed Fe0 and CrO for storage media and 2 3 z permalloys and ferrites for recording heads. The recent development of thin film heads, the demand of higher density of information storage and the emergence of completely new technologies, like magneto-optics, call for entirely new types of magnetic materials. Another area in which new techniques of materials preparation have made a dramatic impact is the epitaxial growth of magnetic films. Recent work has shown that this process can be controlled on the scale of atomic monolayers permitting the growth of totally artificial structures, such as artificial superlattices with a resolution on this scale. Epitaxial growth has also permitted the stabilization of metastable phases in thin film form. These new phases often possess striking properties, such as strong perpendicular anisotropies, which may prove useful for technological applications such as recording. Research on magnetic multilayers and superlattices is increasing at an accelerating pace. Complex couplings between different magnetic layers lead to new properties not seen in bulk materials.

This adventure story is about a little girl who tavels on her own for the first time. The passengers on the bus find themselves in a difficult situation and bongi, as young as she is, assist the older passengers.

Tom's father is a sign-writer, but he has lost his job. In this story, tom learns about using whatever talents he has to meet the challenges in life.

For the best children's books, reach for the stars!. Sam is worried - he has a secret that he doesn't want anyone to know. He protects his secret until one day his teacher tells the class about a boy called Nkosi Johnson. When Sam learns how brave Nkosi was, he starts to feel that maybe he too will be brave enough to share his secret.
