This book brings together a selection of the best lectures from many graduate workshops held at the Australian National Institute for Theoretical Physics in Adelaide. The lectures presented here describe subjects currently of great interest, generally at the interface between mathematics and physics, and also where suitable expositions did not previously exist at a level suitable for graduate students. Topics covered include quantum groups, the operator algebra approach to the integer quantum Hall effect, solvable lattice models and Hecke algebras, Yangevins, equivariant cohomology and symplectic geometry, and von Neumann invariants of covering spaces.

Cosmology and theology share a long held relationship with one another, explaining as they do the constitution of the World and the interaction of forces. The author explores the history of this relationship, from ancient pre-scientific and theological, explanations through to contemporary science and philosophy. In this history, a particular problem is highlighted by the author: the prevalence of dualism; from Aristotelian philosophy to modern mechanistic conceptions, many of these accounts presume a sharp, absolute dichotomy between matter and spirit, and the material world and the divine. Increasingly, dualistic conceptions are called into question by contemporary science, theology, and philosophy. The author argues that a particular trajectory stemming from Greek Heraclitian and Platonic philosophy to non-orthodox and early Christian theologies provides a fruitful resource for contemporary discussions. This is the Logos theology and its attendant language of light. The author brings this tradition into dialogue with contemporary science and theology to construct an integrative account.

The year 1937 was a perilous one, but not yet as explosive as the terrible forces of displacement and war that would soon overtake Europe and the whole world. Through the eyes of a young American, Philip Morrow, we sojourn through an Old World that is slowly overheating with new friction. Nazi militarism seethes clandestinely across the Rhine, cranking its vindictive wehrmacht machine, soon to sideswipe French bewilderment, and obliterate the peace and safety of the whole, unsuspecting world. Through the slow smoke of that pivotal year 1937, we catch glimpses of a few scattered, disruptive sparks, soon to ignite a worldwide blaze. In London, Philip is doing business, representing an American tobacco company. He's a curious, ambitious young man who has forsaken the new world--his mercantile beginnings in a small mountain town, his university education--to embark on a roundabout odyssey in the Old World. The path Philip chooses, or that has chosen him, compels the young American along a trail of discovery. It becomes a sojourn in which he begins to understand how and why his father had a fateful appointment with eternity on a Belgian battleground in 1918. In a Europe still weary from the last War, Philip gets his first real history lesson--not the kind of lesson you receive in school, but the kind you get when the torrents of history, and a current of love, get a hold of you.

In the year 2000 A New Orleans microbiologist, William Theseus, hopes to clone a cow, with the help of his graduate assistant, Robby Davis. Dr. Theseus is a fourth generation son of a landed Louisiana family that had founded a university in New Orleans in the early 20th century. When assistant Robby encounters an unforeseen confrontation with a local banker, the potential medical value of their research suddenly becomes an urgent priority. Robby's troubles begin when it is discovered that his intention to help a distressed undergrad conflicts with the banker's interest. But the tension between Robby and Mick surrounds much more than this young lady, Rosa. Both men are initiating efforts to find an earthen stash of rare gold that is reportedly buried on university property, which was formerly the Theseus cotton plantation on the Mississippi River. The conflict of interests between these two young men produces an event that changes both their lives forever.

The men and women who participated in the "Tuskegee Experiment" were truly pioneers in the creation of our modern integrated armed forces. There are many sources including textbooks, biographies, and museum brochures that provide insight into the long list of notable accomplishments by the Tuskegee Airmen. One of the most notable is their well-documented accomplishment of having never lost a bomber under their protective escort. This feat placed the 99th Fighter Squadron and the rest of the 332nd Fighter Group among the allied elite during the campaign through the perilous skies of WW II Europe. The following pages delve into the reasons for their remarkable record by examining various sources including unit histories, correspondence, mission reports, and biographies. The key points that arise from the sources are the impact of several key members of the unit leadership, the importance of quality training, strict discipline and adherence to escort tactics, and the quality and character of the individual airmen.
