The Dead Sea transform is an active plate boundary connecting
the Red Sea seafloor spreading system to the Arabian-Eurasian
continental collision zone. Its geology and geophysics provide a
natural laboratory for investigation of the surficial, crustal and
mantle processes occurring along transtensional and transpressional
transform fault domains on a lithospheric scale and related to
continental breakup. There have been many detailed and disciplinary
studies of the Dead Sea transform fault zone during the last20
years and this book brings them together.
This book is an updated comprehensive coverage of the knowledge,
based on recent studies of the tectonics, structure, geophysics,
volcanism, active tectonics, sedimentology and paleo and modern
climate of the Dead Sea transform fault zone. It puts together all
this new information and knowledge in a coherent fashion."
"A revealing tale of loneliness and camaraderie, dissonance and
intimacy with hospital staff, and pain and triumph as one man
struggles to reclaim body and spirit after a devastating accident."
-Ed Boyd, Ed.D, psychologist and educator Frank Garfunkel, dynamic
teacher, activist, and sports enthusiast, slammed headfirst into
the wall of a squash court. Suddenly a quadriplegic in a rehab
hospital, he found himself facing the existential absurdity of
total helplessness. Unable to write about his experiences, he
documented his ordeal in a series of probing conversations with
longtime friend, Jay Clark. Ironically, Frank, a professor of
special education at Boston University, devoted his career to
waging battles for the rights of the disabled. Fate catapulted him
into the greatest challenge of his life. In twenty transcribed
conversations, Frank spoke with Jay about a neurological system in
chaos, "You're operating a puppet, and the puppet is you."
Following a three-month hospitalization, Frank returned home,
relieved to be in familiar surroundings but facing endless attempts
to regain control of his "Everest/Death Valley" life. His
conversations with Jay reveal daily encounters with vulnerability,
bewilderment, and depression but also with laughter, gratitude, and
love. Walk of the Centipede is the story of a fiercely independent
man faced with utter dependence.
A NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) entitled "Advanced
Materials and Technologies for Micro/Nano Devices, Sensors and
Actuators" was held in St. Petersburg, Russia, from June 29 to July
2, 2009. The main goal of the Workshop was to examine (at a
fundamental level) the very complex scientific issues that pertain
to the use of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and
NEMS), devices and technologies in next generation commercial and
defen- related applications. Micro- and nano-electromechanical
systems represent rather broad and diverse technological areas,
such as optical systems (micromirrors, waveguides, optical sensors,
integrated subsystems), life sciences and lab equipment
(micropumps, membranes, lab-on-chip, membranes, microfluidics),
sensors (bio-sensors, chemical sensors, gas-phase sensors, sensors
integrated with electronics) and RF applications for signal
transmission (variable capacitors, tunable filters and antennas,
switches, resonators). From a scientific viewpoint, this is a very
multi-disciplinary field, including micro- and nano-mechanics (such
as stresses in structural materials), electronic effects (e. g.
charge transfer), general electrostatics, materials science,
surface chemistry, interface science, (nano)tribology, and optics.
It is obvious that in order to overcome the problems surrounding
next-generation MEMS/NEMS devices and applications it is necessary
to tackle them from different angles: theoreticians need to speak
with mechanical engineers, and device engineers and modelers to
listen to surface physicists. It was therefore one of the main
objectives of the workshop to bring together a multidisciplinary
team of distinguished researchers.
An extrapolation of ULSI scaling trends indicates that minimum
feature sizes below 0.1 mu and gate thicknesses of <3 nm will be
required in the near future. Given the importance of ultrathin gate
dielectrics, well-focused basic scientific research and aggressive
development programs must continue on the silicon oxide,
oxynitride, and high K materials on silicon systems, especially in
the critical, ultrathin 1-3 nm regime. The main thrust of the
present book is a review, at the nano and atomic scale, the complex
scientific issues related to the use of ultrathin dielectrics in
next-generation Si-based devices. The contributing authors are
leading scientists, drawn from academic, industrial and government
laboratories throughout the world, and representing such
backgrounds as basic and applied physics, chemistry, electrical
engineering, surface science, and materials science. Audience: Both
expert scientists and engineers who wish to keep up with cutting
edge research, and new students who wish to learn more about the
exciting basic research issues relevant to next-generation device
technology.

From journalist and Grammy(R)-nominated music producer Leo Sacks,
and New York Times chief popular music critic Jon Pareles, Keeping
Time places Hunstein's photos in the context of musical and social
change, adding an untold chapter to the cultural history Don
Hunstein's images of music's most influential artists are
unforgettable. As Columbia Records' staff photographer for more
than four decades, Hunstein earned the trust and confidence of the
most celebrated singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians of
our time, including Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Simon
& Garfunkel, Aretha Franklin, Leonard Bernstein, Dave Brubeck,
Tony Bennett, and Thelonious Monk, to name a few. Hunstein
photographed these greats with noticeable informality,
demonstrating a perpetual ease with his subjects. With his relaxed
approach, he was able to glean private moments from public lives
filled with fascinating, telling, and intimate details. Logging his
daily assignments, Hunstein created an archive of profound images
that parallel the soundtracks to our lives. To this day, his work
exists as a unique record chronicling the creative efforts and
energies of the world's greatest musicians. Edited by journalist
and Grammy(R)-nominated music producer Leo Sacks and with text by
New York Times chief popular music critic Jon Pareles, Keeping Time
places Hunstein's photos in the context of musical and social
change, adding an untold chapter to the cultural history of the
second half of the twentieth century.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were initially inspired by the Everly
Brothers and under the name Tom And Jerry enjoyed a hit with 'Hey
Schoolgirl'. The duo reunited in 1964 for Wednesday Morning 3AM,
which included an acoustic reading of 'The Sound Of Silence'.
Producer Tom Wilson made the presumptuous but prescient decision to
overdub 'Sound Of Silence' with electric instrumentation and an
album titled after the million-selling single was rush-released
early in 1966. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme had a varied mood
from the grandly serious 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her' to
the bouncy '59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)'. The duo
contributed Mrs. Robinson to the soundtrack of the 1968 film, The
Graduate. That same year saw the release of Bookends, a
superbly-crafted work. In 1969 the duo released the celebrated
Bridge Over Troubled Water. One of the best-selling albums of all
time, the work's title track became a standard with its lush,
orchestral arrangement and contrasting tempo. While at the peak of
their commercial success, the duo became irascible and their
partnership abruptly ceased. Since then there have been sporadic
reunions, most notably The Concert In Central Park.
“A lucid and interesting history” of ballet—from
sixteenth-century French Royalty to contemporary masters—“that
reads like a novel” (Kirkus Reviews). In this engaging history of
dance, readers are introduced to the major performers,
choreographers, and composers who influenced the development of
ballet. Beginning with the birth of the art in the
sixteenth-century French court of Catherine d’ Medici, this
informative text traces ballet as it evolved in Europe and Russia,
and subsequently in England and then the United States. Included
are details about the creation of such classics as Giselle, Swan
Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and Serenade, as well as the
contributions of such prominent figures as Pavlova, Nijinsky,
Balanchine, and Ashton. Fascinating facts include inside looks at
contemporary ballet companies, how toe shoes are made, and what a
professional dancer’s day is like. All in all, a delightful,
enjoyable, and informative historical overview that will delight
anyone who enjoys the art of dance.
