Science undergraduates have come to accept the use of computers as
commonplace. The daily use of portable sophisticated electronic
calculators (some of them rivaling general-purpose minicomputers in
their capa bi li ti es) has hastened this development. Over the
past several years, computer assisted experimentation has assumed
an important role in the experimental laboratory. Mini- and
microcomputer systems have become an important part of the physical
scientist's array of analytical instruments. Prompted by our
beliefthat this was an inevitable development, we began several
years aga to develop the curricular materials presented in this
manual. At the outset, several objectives seemed important to uso
First, insofar as possible, the experiments included should be
thoroughly tested and error free. Second, they should be compatible
with a variety of laboratory computer, data-acquisition, and
control systems. Third, little or no previous background in either
electronics or programming should be necessary. (Of course, such
background would be advantageous. ) To satisfy these objectives, we
decided to adopt a widespread high-level computer language, BASIC,
suitably modified for the purpose. Furthermore, we have purposely
avoided specifying any particular system or equipment. Rather, the
functional characteristics of both hardware and software required
are stipulated. The experiments have been developed using Varian
620 and Hewlett-Packard 2100 series computers, but we believe they
are readily transferable to other commonly available computer
systems with a minimum of difficulty."
Breakfast at the Hoito brings together a collection of stories
and essays on the dreamlike world of Lake Superior's north shore
... on wilds and wildlife, people and places.
Spend a day in the kitchen of the famed Hoito Restaurant in
Thunder Bay. Discover the secret life of ravens; the passions of
the blueberry picker; the thrills and fears of the novice ice
climber. Tour Silver Islet, an eccentric summer community that has
evolved from the relics of what was once the world's richest silver
mine; and the town of Schreiber, half of whose 2,000 residents
trace their roots to the Italian city of Siderno. Visit a
16th-century pine forest, and meet Freda McDonald, one of Canada's
most respected aboriginal elders. Accompany the author on a
refreshingly candid tour of contemporary Thunder Bay.
"The Wild Ride" is a book like no other--an epic record of the
opening of the Canadian west. It is the story of a force of
untested young men, mounted policemen in crimson coats, sent west
to do what they could to bring law and order to the land. "The Wild
Ride" is history related in a bold way: as storytelling, as
theatre, as art and exhibition, brought to life by an inspired
collection of photos, artifacts, and ephemera.
