Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating
specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to
fathom, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas,
guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding
material. Noam Chomsky is one of the most influential thinkers of
the twentieth-century. His work in linguistics, philosophy and
political theory has spanned six decades, and has been met with
critical acclaim and controversy in equal measure. This book is an
introduction to Chomsky's theoretical writings, but also a critical
engagement with his work. Chomsky: A Guide for the Perplexed covers
every aspect of Chomsky's thought, from transformational grammar to
political dissent.
This is a book where a husband and wife are taken to a fantasy
realm. There they catch a glimpse of what it might mean to see why
it is that some things happen the way they do. It is filled with
suspense and plenty of humor. This deeply thought-provoking book
really opens up the concept that it is okay for us not to know
everything, but it is unacceptable for us to blindly agree with
either side of the "Is there a God?" argument. You will laugh, you
will feel uncomfortable, and after reading this, you will want to
tell your friends all about it.
The contributions in this volume were presented at a NATO
Advanced Study Institute held in Erice, Italy, 4-19 July 2013. Many
aspects of important research into nanophotonics, plasmonics,
semiconductor materials and devices, instrumentation for bio
sensing to name just a few, are covered in depth in this volume.
The growing connection between optics and electronics, due to the
increasing important role plaid by semiconductor materials and
devices, find their expression in the term photonics, which also
reflects the importance of the photon aspect of light in the
description of the performance of several optical systems.
Nano-structures have unique capabilities that allow the enhanced
performance of processes of interest in optical and photonic
devices. In particular these structures permit the nanoscale
manipulation of photons, electrons and atoms; they represent a very
hot topic of research and are relevant to many devices and
applications.
The various subjects bridge over the disciplines of physics,
biology and chemistry, making this volume of interest to people
working in these fields. The emphasis is on the principles behind
each technique and on examining the full potential of each
technique."
CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVES AND CONTEMPORARY MEDICAL MORALS A Catholic
perspective on medical morals antedates the current world wide
interest in medical and biomedical ethics by many centuries 5].
Discussions about the moral status of the fetus, abortion,
contraception, and sterilization can be found in the writings of
the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. Teachings on various aspects
of medical morals were scattered throughout the penitential books
of the early medieval church and later in more formal treatises
when moral theology became recog nized as a distinct discipline.
Still later, medical morality was incorpor ated into the many
pastoral works on medicine. Finally, in the contemporary period,
works that strictly focus on medical ethics are produced by
Catholic moral theologians who have special interests in matters
medical. Moreover, this long tradition of teaching has been put
into practice in the medical moral directives governing the
operation of hospitals under Catholic sponsorship. Catholic
hospitals were monitored by Ethics Committees long before such
committees were recommended by the New Jersey Court in the Karen
Ann Quinlan case or by the President's Commission in 1983 ( 8, 9]).
Underlying the Catholic moral tradition was the use of the
casuistic method, which since the 17th and 18th centuries was
employed by Catholic moralists to study and resolve concrete
clinical ethical dilem mas. The history of casuistry is of renewed
interest today when the case method has become so widely used in
the current revival of interest in medical ethics ll]."
The book gives a comprehensive introduction to nano-optics The book
is of interest to physicists, biologists and chemists The book may
suggest directions to doctoral thesis investigations This volume
presents a considerable number of interrelated contributions
dealing with the new scientific ability to shape and control matter
and electromagnetic fields on a sub-wavelength scale. The topics
range from the fundamental ones, such as photonic metamateriials,
plasmonics and sub-wavelength resolution to the more applicative,
such as detection of single molecules, tomography on a micro-chip,
fluorescence spectroscopy of biological systems, coherent control
of biomolecules, biosensing of single proteins, terahertz
spectroscopy of nanoparticles, rare earth ion-doped nanoparticles,
random lasing, and nanocoax array architecture. The various
subjects bridge over the disciplines of physics, biology and
chemistry, making this volume of interest to people working in
these fields. The emphasis is on the principles behind each
technique and on examining the full potential of each technique.
The contributions that appear in this volume were presented at a
NATO Advanced Study Institute that was held in Erice, Italy, 3-18
July, 2011. The pedagogical aspect of the Institute is reflected in
the topics presented in this volume.
The investigation of light-matter interactions in materials,
especially those on the nanoscale, represents perhaps the most
promising avenue for scientific progress in the fields of photonics
and plasmonics. This book examines a variety of topics, starting
from fundamental principles, leading to the current state of the
art research. For example, this volume includes a chapter on the
sensing of biological molecules with optical resonators
(microspheres) combined with plasmonic systems, where the response
this system are described in a fundamental and elegant manner using
coupled mode theory. Symmetry plays a major role in the book. One
chapter on time reversal symmetry in electromagnetic theory
describes how to control the properties of light (e.g. scattering
and directionality of the flow of light) in materials with certain
topological invariants. Another chapter where symmetry is prominent
reformulates, using a gentle and pedagogical approach, Maxwell's
Equations into a new set of fields that reveal a "handedness"
symmetry in electromagnetic theory, which can be applied to
photonic systems in, for example, the sensing of chiral molecules
and understanding the conditions for zero reflection. Also, for
students and researchers starting in the field of nanoplasmonics,
the book includes a tutorial on the finite element time domain
simulation of nanoplasmonic systems. Other topics include photonic
systems for quantum computing, nanoplasmonics, and optical
properties of nano and bulk materials. The authors take a
pedagogical approach to their topic, making the book an excellent
reference for graduate students and scientists starting in the
fields of photonics or plasmonics.
How does the Bible as a whole fit together? How should we read it
theologically - and as literature? Are the manuscripts reliable?
How do they relate to archaeology? When and how was the canon of
Scripture formed? What is the Septuagint? How does the New
Testament quote from and interpret the Old Testament? Such
questions are the focus of this collection of concise studies on
the nature and content of the Bible. Useful as both a general
overview and as a tool for more specific reference and training,
this volume will help readers to grow in their understanding of
Scripture and their ability to apply it to their lives. Pastors,
church leaders, students, and other Christians engaged in studying
and teaching GodaEURO (TM)s Word will benefit from these studies,
originally featured as articles in the ESV Study Bible and written
by notable contributors, including John Piper, J. I. Packer, David
Powlison, Vern Poythress, Peter J. Williams and Roger Beckwith.
The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of
physics is quantum chromodynamics, QCD, the theory of the strong
interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is
provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known
factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts,
theorems and their justification, this book is a systematic
treatment of perturbative QCD. As well as giving a mathematical
treatment, the book relates the concepts to experimental data,
giving strong motivations for the methods. It also examines in
detail transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities, an
increasingly important subject not normally treated in other books.
Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy
physics, it will also interest experienced researchers wanting a
clear account of the subject. First published in 2011, this title
has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
