Perfect Camping for You in Southern California The Golden State
provides a spectacular backdrop for some of the most scenic and
diverse campgrounds in the country, from desert camping in Death
Valley to glacier camping in the Sierras. But do you know which
campgrounds offer the most privacy? Which are the best for
first-time campers? Charles Patterson has traversed the entire
region, from the Mexican border to coastal Malibu to the rugged
Sierras, and compiled the most up-to-date research to steer you to
the perfect spot! Best Tent Camping: Southern California presents
50 private, state park, and state and national forest campgrounds,
organized into four distinct regions. Selections are based on
location, topography, size, and overall appeal, and every site is
rated for beauty, privacy, spaciousness, safety and security, and
cleanliness-so you'll always know what to expect. The new
full-color edition of this proven guidebook provides everything you
need to know, with detailed maps of each campground and key
information such as fees, restrictions, dates of operation, and
facilities, as well as driving directions and GPS coordinates.
Whether you seek a quiet campground near a fish-filled stream or a
family campground with all the amenities, grab Best Tent Camping:
Southern California. It's a book for tent campers who like quiet,
scenic, and serene campsites. This guide is a keeper.
The study of condensed matter using optical techniques, where
photons act as both probe and signal, has a long history. It is
only recently, however, that the extraction of surface and
interface information, with submonolayer resolution, has been shown
to be possible using optical techniques (where "optical" applies to
electromagnetic radiation in and around the visible region of the
spectrum). This book describes these "epioptic" techniques, which
have now been quite widely applied to semiconductor surfaces and
interfaces. Particular emphasis in the book is placed on recent
studies of submonolayer growth on well-characterised semiconductor
surfaces, many of which have arisen from CEC DGJGII ESPRIT Basic
Research Action No. 3177 "EPIOPTIC," and CEU DGIII ESPRIT Basic
Research Action No. 6878 "EASI." Techniques using other areas of
the spectrum such as the infra-red region (IR spectroscopy, in its
various surface configurations), and the x-ray region (surface
x-ray diffraction, x-ray standing wave), are omitted. The optical
techniques described use simple lamp or small laser sources and are
thus, in principle, easily accessible. Epioptic probes can provide
new information on solid-gas, solid-liquid and liquid-liquid
interfaces. They are particularly suited to growth monitoring.
Emerging process technologies for fabricating submicron and
nanoscale semiconductor devices and novel multilayer materials,
whether based on silicon or compound semiconductors, all require
extremely precise control of growth at surfaces. In situ,
non-destructive, real-time monitoring and characterisation of
surfaces under growth conditions is needed for further progress.
Both atomic scale resolution, and non-destructive characterisation
of buried structures, are required.
This book explores the similar attitudes and methods behind modern
society's treatment of animals and the way humans have often
treated each other, most notably during the Holocaust. The book's
epigraph and title are from "The Letter Writer, " a story by the
Yiddish writer and Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer: "In
relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an
eternal Treblinka." The first part of the book (Chapters 1-2)
describes the emergence of human beings as the master species and
their domination over the rest of the inhabitants of the earth. The
second part (Chapters 3-5) examines the industrialization of
slaughter (of both animals and humans) that took place in modern
times. The last part of the book (Chapters 6-8) profiles Jewish and
German animal advocates on both sides of the Holocaust, including
Isaac Bashevis Singer himself.
The Foreword is by Lucy Rosen Kaplan, former attorney for People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and daughter of
Holocaust survivors. Her Foreword, the Preface and After-word,
excerpts from the book, chapter synopses, and an international list
of supporters can be found on the book's website at:
