How much do we really know about our parents’ lives? What secrets
lie in plain sight? This is the true story of hidden love within a
small circle of some of the most acclaimed anthropologists of the
20th century. Told by Rosemary and Raymond Firth's son, and the
daughter of Celia and Edmund Leach, the man Rosemary loved all her
life, this part love-story, part biography, part social history is
the story of a highly influential circle of social anthropologists
in Britain from the 1930s, through the Second World War, to the end
of the century. The book explores their early influences, their
insecurities, their flaws, struggles and achievements. It is a
story of passion and commitment, but also of deceit and betrayal,
including the inexplicable disappearance, death and alleged murder
of a very close friend. It also narrates Rosemary's struggles for
emotional and intellectual independence in the face of societal
expectations of women and her own guilt, loss and self-doubt. From
the Prologue: Rosemary loved many people in many different ways,
but she loved two men in particular throughout most of her life.
One was her husband, Raymond Firth, regarded by some as among the
founding fathers of social anthropology. Yet she also retained a
passionate devotion to her first love, Edmund Leach, who would
subsequently become the public intellectual face of social
anthropology in the later 1960s. Both separately and together they
were part of the process of defining the nature of this still
growing discipline in the first part of the mid-twentieth century.

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) is an electronic
device that is widely used in all high frequency wireless systems.
In developing MMIC as a product, understanding analysis and design
techniques, modeling, measurement methodology, and current trends
are essential. Advances in Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits
for Wireless Systems: Modeling and Design Technologies is a central
source of knowledge on MMIC development, containing research on
theory, design, and practical approaches to integrated circuit
devices. This book is of interest to researchers in industry and
academia working in the areas of circuit design, integrated
circuits, and RF and microwave, as well as anyone with an interest
in monolithic wireless device development.
This new work on energy and environmental modeling describes a
broad variety of modeling methodologies, embodied in models of
varying scopes and philosophies. Examples range from top-down
integrated assessment models to bottom-up partial equilibrium
models, to hybrid models.
