The quantum Hall effect, low-dimensional systems, vortices and superconductivity, high-resolution NMR and EPR spectroscopy - all these and many other landmark contributions of high-magnetic-field physics to solid state science, analytical chemistry and structural biology are presented in this book. Each chapter describes the key concepts and future prospects in the corresponding field. The text can be read at different levels: researchers will find depth and insight, while students will come to understand the basic concepts. This book, written by leading scientists, will serve as a reference work on high-magnetic-field science for many years to come.

This book is addressed to all scientists interested in the use of high magnetic ?elds and in the use of high-?eld facilities around the world. In particular it will help young scientists and newcomers to the topic to gain a better understanding in areas such as condensed matter physics, in which the magnetic ?eld plays a key role either as a parameter controlling the Hamiltonian, or as an experimental tool to probe the underlying mechanism. This concerns mostly strongly correlated and (or) low dimensional systems. Rather than covering all these subjects in detail, the philosophy here is to give essential physical concepts in some of the most active ?elds, which have been quickly growing in the last ten to twenty years. Besides its role as a physical parameter in condensed matter physics, a large magnetic ?eld is essential to Electron Paramagentic Resonance (EPR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The state of art of high resolution NMRin liquids and solids and high frequency EPRapplied to ?elds like chemistry and biology are also reviewed in this volume. The ?rst series of chapters is devoted to the integer and the Fractional Qu- tum Hall E?ects (FQHE) in two-dimensional electron systems. C. Glattli brushes an historical background and a comprehensive review of transport phenomena in these systems, including recent developments on the mesoscopic electronic transport at the edges of quantum Hall samples, chiral Luttinger liquids and fractional excitations.

Imperative Birth is part three of three books where two television journalists interview 100-year old Jonara Pindus, the mother of female-couple fertility, to discover what led Jonara to her profession. Jonara completes the story from her thirteenth birthday when she goes back in time. She witnesses 13th century Spain, the male-mammal extinction on distant planet Eho Miriam, the recovery of her young mother's psyche, the origins of her mother's conception, and a multiple coming-together of events for the finale.

The Fall of Evanita is part one of three books where two television journalists interview 100-year old Jonara Pindus, the mother of female-couple fertility, to discover what led Jonara to her profession. Jonara reveals a story from her thirteenth birthday where she visits her great-grandmother's house and goes back in time with the help of a diary to witness her mother's struggles through youth.

A collection of prose, poetry, and short stories written by K Gerard Martin from 1976 to 1995 when he was from eight to twenty-eight years of age. Book includes the Fictionnaire series with The Cat from Hell, Unseen Assailant, The StoryMaster, and Futures.

Lamina is part two of three books where two television journalists interview 100-year old Jonara Pindus, the mother of female-couple fertility, to discover what led Jonara to her profession. Jonara continues the story from her thirteenth birthday where she goes back in time to witness many layers of ancestral history starting with her mother's detention in Portland and adding various places from 1939 to 1970 including Spain, Wisconsin, Greece, Pacific Ocean, Alabama, Africa, Palestine, Texas, New Zealand, and Vietnam.

A grammar and vocabulary guide for fictional Damiriak languages Dahmek, Miramish, Nimiash, and sub-language Mirsua as used in the Carre a book series. In addition to providing alphabets, pronunciation, and grammar usage for the four languages, this guide explores a number system, a hand-signing system, day and time usage, chemical element names, Earth geographical names, and Damiriak astronomy. Three crossreference sections make up the bulk of the guide-English to Dahmek/Miramish/Nimiash, Dahmek to English, Miramish to English, and Nimiash to English-based on over 11,600 root words per language.

Die Frage nach Mannlichkeiten wurde bislang auch in der musikwissenschaftlichen Genderforschung nur zogerlich gestellt, trotz ihrer grundlegenden Bedeutung fur die Musikgeschichtsschreibung, die Musikpadagogik und die soziale Kulturarbeit. Musik als nahezu omniprasentes, vielseitiges und wirkungsmachtiges Medium transportiert permanent eine Fulle von Mannlichkeitsbildern und spiegelt damit gesellschaftliche Stromungen wider. Gleichzeitig pragt sie aber wiederum selbst eine Gesellschaft - insofern ist Musik ein hochst aufschlussreicher Untersuchungsgegenstand. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich Konzeptionen und Bildern von Mannlichkeiten in der Musikkultur Deutschlands nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Der Bogen umspannt dabei die unterschiedlichsten Genres von der alpenlandischen Volksmusik uber Rock- und Popmusik bis hin zur Klassik.
