Probably no American statesman displayed more constructive
imagination than did Alexander Hamilton. Prodigal of ideas,
bursting with plans for diversifying the economy, and obsessed by a
determination to make the United States a powerful nation under a
centralized government, he left an imprint upon this country that
time has not effaced. Alexander Hamilton and the Growth of the New
Nation is the premier biography of Alexander Hamilton written by
one of the foremost scholars of early American history.
Hamilton's career was at times contradictory: born, in John
Adams's words, the "bastard brat of a Scotch peddler," he rose to
high social, political, and military position in the newly born
country. He dreaded divisiveness, yet his strate-gies and actions
aggravated political sectionalism. Miller weaves together the
complex facets of Hamilton's life to make a vivid, absorbing
biography.
A vivid recreation of the varied ways in which colonists lived.
Bustling seaport towns, lonely farming valleys and forest frontiers
come alive through the words of contemporary observers. Their
humorous, sometimes piously pompous comments on courtship,
marriage, children, education, religion, crime and punishment, and
slavery provide rich insights into colonial America. Originally
published in 1966 by Dell Publishing Company.
Lasers can readily remove very thin layers from small areas of a
material and can thus be used both to control the structure of the
surface and to determine its composition. Laser ablation thus has a
wide variety of applications - from re-shaping the cornea of the
eye to correct vision and micro-machining electronic devices, to
detection of minute contaminants on catalysts. This book is the
proceedings of one ofthe first workshops held on this topic.
Laser Ablation provides a broad picture of the current
understanding of laser ablation and its many applications, from the
views of key contributors to the field. Discussed are in detail the
electronic processes in laser ablation of semiconductors and
insulators, the post-ionization of laser-desorbed biomolecules,
Fourier-transform mass spectroscopy, the interaction of laser
radiation with organic polymers, laser ablation and optical surface
damage, laser desorption/ablation with laser detection, and laser
ablation of superconducting thin films.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1677 Edition.
1677. This work is "matter full" and suggestive rather than
exhaustive. It contains clear and keen insight into the deepest
places of the deepest things discussed. It is full of faith in all
written in the Word and pathetically credulous in accepting
testimony when an alleged fact is fitted to barb an appeal. It is
pre-Raphaelite in the vivid fidelity of its portrayals of satanic
guiles and guises that are always disguises, and above all,
tenderly experimental in its consolation to the tried and troubled.
