This book is a compilation of major reprint articles on one of the
most intriguing phenomena in modern physics: the quantum Hall
effect. Together with a detailed introduction by the editor, this
volume serves as a stimulating and valuable reference for students
and research workers in condensed matter physics and for those with
a particle physics background. The papers have been chosen with the
intention of emphasizing the topological aspects of the quantum
Hall effect and its connections with other branches of theoretical
physics, such as topological quantum field theories and string
theory. The contents include sections on integer effect, fractional
effect, effect of global topology, effective theories, edge states
and non-Abelian statistics.

What constitutes a lie? What are the different types of lies? Why
do people lie? Is dishonesty ubiquitous in human experience? And
what should be done with individuals who seek pschotherapeutic help
and yet can not reveal important aspects of their lives and even
fabricate histories, associations, and dreams? Such questions form
the backbone of this exceptional book. Starting with the emergence
of the capacity to lie in childhood and the formative influence of
the family in children's moral development, the discourse goes on
to include the variety of adulthood lies, including social lies,
existential lies, pathological lies, narcissistic lies, and
sociopathic lies. Contributions from distinguished psychoanalysts
like Salman Akhtar, Harold Blum, Ruth Fischer, Lucy LaFarge, Henri
Parens, and Michael Stone, along with others, explore the impact of
dishonesty on the internal and external realities of an individual.
Malignant forms of lies involving serious character pathology and
criminality, as well as their detection, are also discussed. The
book's aim is to help therapists enhance their empathy with
patients who are compelled to lie and to provide them with better
therapeutic strategies to deal with the clinical dilemmas that
arise in working with such children and adults.

A gentle introduction to the physics of quantized fields and
many-body physics. Based on courses taught at the University of
Illinois, it concentrates on the basic conceptual issues that many
students find difficult, and emphasizes the physical and
visualizable aspects of the subject. While the text is intended for
students with a wide range of interests, many of the examples are
drawn from condensed matter physics because of the tangible
character of such systems. The first part of the book uses the
Hamiltonian operator language of traditional quantum mechanics to
treat simple field theories and related topics, while the Feynman
path integral is introduced in the second half where it is seen as
indispensable for understanding the connection between
renormalization and critical as well as non-perturbative phenomena.

Pocket-books and other documents of a gentleman-parson bring the
Georgian era vividly to life. An affluent and clubbable
gentleman-parson of the Georgian age, for forty years John Longe
contributed extensively to society in rural mid-Suffolk, heading a
household which included ten domestic servants, plus farm staff. He
enjoyed the company of his peers, both as host and guest, and
travelled throughout the region, to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and
his native Norwich. Besides preaching and leading worship, Longe
trained young curates; marshalled his parishioners under threat of
Napoleon's invasion; and fulfilled the onerous responsibilities of
a magistrate, including supervision of the local House of Industry
and turnpike trusts. John Longe recorded his activities,
relationships and possessions in pocket-books and inventories,
leaving a rich archive for posterity. It is these documents which
are presented and transcribed here. They are accompanied by an
extensive introduction, setting them in context; notes on the many
individuals encountered; and full apparatus. The volume also
includes plates and maps.
Set amid the perils of illegal border crossings, The Iguana Tree is
the suspenseful saga of Lilia and Hector, who separately make their
way from Mexico into the United States, seeking work in the
Carolinas and a home for their infant daughter.
Michel Stone's harrowing novel meticulously examines the
obstacles each faces in pursuing a new life: manipulation, rape,
and murder in the perilous commerce of border crossings; betrayal
by family and friends; exploitation by corrupt officials and
rapacious landowners on the U.S. side; and, finally, the inexorable
workings of the U.S. justice system.
Hector and Lilia meet Americans willing to help them with legal
assistance and offers of responsible employment, but their illegal
entry seems certain to prove their undoing. The consequences of
their decisions are devastating. In the end, The Iguana Tree is a
universal story of loss, grief, and human dignity.
In this collection of provocative essays by prominent teachers of
Yoga and Buddhism, the common ground of these two ancient
traditions becomes clear. Michael Stone has brought together a
group of intriguing voices to show how Buddhism and Yoga share the
same roots, the same values, and the same spiritual goals. The
themes addressed here are rich and varied, yet the essays all weave
together the common threads between the traditions that offer
guidance toward spiritual freedom and genuine realization.
Contributors include Ajahn Amaro Bhikkhu, Shosan Victoria Austin,
Frank Jude Boccio, Christopher Key Chapple, Ari Goldfield and Rose
Taylor, Chip Hartranft, Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, Sarah Powers, Eido
Shimano Roshi, Jill Satterfield, Mu Soeng, Michael Stone, and
Robert Thurman.
How can we live a balanced life in unbalanced times? How can the
practices of meditation and yoga support our relationships, our
work lives, and the greater good? Author, teacher, and
psychotherapist Michael Stone presents the essential insights of
mindfulness and yoga, emphasizing the teachings of simplicity and
the interdependence of all life.
Stone explains that the practices of yoga and meditation are not
about escaping reality but about living fully in the here and now,
opening to our experience, and gaining access to stillness within
the flow of life. The essence of yoga and Buddhist practice is
opening the heart--our own and the heart of the world. With that
awareness, Stone encourages us to get involved in our communities,
to speak out when we see wrongdoing, and to find ways of helping
others.
