Zen Buddhist priest Shunmyo Masuno understands that today's busy
world leaves little time or space for self-reflection, but that a
garden--even in the most urban of spaces--can provide some respite.
In his words, "The garden is a special spiritual place where the
mind dwells." With this in mind, Masuno has designed scores of
spectacular Japanese gardens and landscapes with the aim of helping
people achieve a balanced life in the 21st century. This book
explores Masuno's design process and ideas, which are integral to
his daily Zen training and teachings. It features 15 unique gardens
and contemplative landscapes completed in six countries over as
many years--all thoughtfully described and documented in full-color
photos and drawings. Readers will also find insights on Masuno's
philosophy of garden design and a conversation between the designer
and famed architect Terunobu Fujimori. Zen Garden Design provides
an in-depth examination of Masuno's gardens and landscapes--not
just as beautiful spaces, but as places for meditation and
contemplation.

Extensive studies of high-Tc cuprate superconductors have
stimualted investigations into various transition-metal oxides.
Mott transitions in particular provide fascinating problems and new
concepts in condensed matter physics. This book is a collection of
overviews by well-known, active researchers in this field. It deals
with the latest developments, with particular emphasis on the
theoretical, spectroscopic, and transport aspects.
This text presents an overview of the electronic transport
phenomena including high-Tc superconductivity and colossal
magnetoresistance. It concisely reviews all the conducting oxides,
discussing in detail nine representative oxides. More than 1200
references serve as a convenient guidepost to proceed into this
vast research field.
This book is intended for postgraduate students, researchers and engineers engaged in research into oxide conductors. It presents an overview of electronic transport phenomena, including a discussion of high-Tc superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance in two chapters, one of which reviews all the conducting oxides. In another nine chapters representative oxides are discussed in detail. Since electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions greatly influence conducting properties, two chapters are devoted to their explanation. More than 1200 references will serve as a useful guide to those entering into this vast field of research.
This volume studies the development of Marxian value theory in a
modernised context. The controversy about Marx's value theory is
now in its third stage. The first stage was marked by Bohm-Bawerk,
and the second by Samuelson soon after the World War II. In this
second stage, the basic results in Marx's economics were examined
and formulated by Okishio and Morishima-Seton in the Leontief
economy case. The third stage was opened by Morishima, who
developed the Marxian theory of value on the ba~is of von Neumann's
theory. In Chapters I through IV, a concise but comprehensive
overview of the pOints in Marx's value theory is presented from the
Leontief to von Neumann economy cases. Based on the above, the two
subjects, namely, the reduction of skilled labour and heterogeneous
labour and the Marxian theory of differential rent, are developed
in Chapters V and VI respectively. These topics, especially the
reduction problem, seem not to have been duly discussed in other
literature. The main concern of our discussion, in Chapters I
through V in particular, is the so-called fundamental Marxian
theorem and the dual dualities, i.e., the duality of price and
quanti~y systems on the basis of the duality of value and price.
Th. ~uthor also tried to shed light on superhistorical aspects of
Marxian vaiue theory, which ought to give a clue to the insight of
the commodity production in general. The author acknowledges thanks
to Professors S.Koshimura, A.

Recognizing the increased interest in forest management world wide,
this book addresses the current knowledge gap by defining
sustainable forest management, clarifying methods by which
ecological knowledge can be applied and how traditional
silvicultural methods can be improved.
Sustainable forest management involves the enhancement of various
aspects of forest functions such as conservation of biodiversity,
conservation of soil and water resources, contribution to the
global carbon cycle as well as wood production. To establish
ecological and silvicultural theories to enhance these functions
harmoniously, recognizing the relationship between stand structures
and their functions is essential.
This volume presents target stand structures for aimed forest
functions in relation to stand development stages, as well as
ecological and silvicultural methods to lead and maintain them.
Ecological and silvicultural strategies are discussed, both on
stand and landscape levels, and from local to international levels
in temperate and boreal forest zones.
The field of magnetic ultrathin films continues to be an exciting
and rapidly expanding one, as demonstrated by recent advances in
giant magnetoresistance (GMR), exchange-coupled structures, and
magnetic anisotropies. New GMR materials, such as Mn perovskites,
have been developed, and new effects, such as exchange coupling
through semiconducting interlayers, non-Heisenberg-type coupling,
perpendicular GMR, and hot electron spin-valve effects, have been
discovered. This book from MRS offers an international perspective
on the expanding activity, and features developments in both
fundamental and applied areas. Topics include: novel magnetic
nanostructures and applications; growth, structure and interfaces;
interlayer coupling; magnetic anisotropy; ultrathin films, magnetic
domains; giant magnetoresistance; colossal magnetoresistance;
spectroscopies, magneto-optical properties and granular
nanostructures.
The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally
recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.
