Destabilizing Milton challenges the widely accepted view of Milton as a poet of absolute, unquestioning certainty. In Paradise Lost , Milton confronts the failure of the Revolution by creating a poem that refuses to grant the reader any interpretive stability or certainty. Doubts can no longer be contained and concepts once marked by a 'fundamental immobility' now seem unstable at best. Paradise Regained and Samson Agonistes equally reflect Milton's deep ambivalences after the collapse of the Republic. Far from confirming his earlier ideals, in his later poetry, Milton subjects his culture's most cherished beliefs, such as the goodness of God, to withering scrutiny, while refusing the comfort of orthodox answers.
The goal of Essays on Communication & Spirituality is to expand students' understanding of communication theory and inquiry. The editor and contributors aim to present the beginning position of an emerging discourse in the communication field. The collection's essays explore the potential contribution of spirituality for the study of communication. They also examine and illustrate how scholarly work that is premised on such spiritual assumptions reshapes our understanding of communication. Essays on Communication & Spirituality is intended as a supplemental text for any foundational communication course that explores different understandings of communication.
We live in a world of numbers and mathematics, and so we need to work with numbers and some math in almost everything we do, to control our happiness and the direction of our lives. The purpose of Coming Home to Math is to make adults with little technical training more comfortable with math, in using it and enjoying it, and to allay their fears of math, enable their numerical thinking, and convince them that math is fun. A range of important math concepts are presented and explained in simple terms, mostly by using arithmetic, with frequent connections to the real world of personal financial matters, health, gambling, and popular culture.As such, Coming Home to Math is geared to making the general, non-specialist, adult public more comfortable with math, though not to formally train them for new careers or to teach those first learning math. It may also be helpful to liberal arts college students who need to tackle more technical subjects. The range of topics covered may also appeal to scholars who are more math savvy, though it may not challenge them.

This volume describes the increasing role of "in situ" optical
diagnostics in thin film processing for applications ranging from
fundamental science studies to process development to control
during manufacturing. The key advantage of optical diagnostics in
these applications is that they are usually noninvasive and
nonintrusive. Optical probes of the surface, film, wafer, and gas
above the wafer are described for many processes, including plasma
etching, MBE, MOCVD, and rapid thermal processing. For each optical
technique, the underlying principles are presented, modes of
experimental implementation are described, and applications of the
diagnostic in thin film processing are analyzed, with examples
drawn from microelectronics and optoelectronics. Special attention
is paid to real-time probing of the surface, to the noninvasive
measurement of temperature, and to the use of optical probes for
process control.
La dinamica de la evolucion politica en Colombia ha permitido, desde la vigencia del Acto Legislativo 01 de 2003, la gestacion en el imaginario colectivo de los ciudadanos de una nueva representacion de los cargos de eleccion popular. El argumento implicito del Acto Legislativo presenta la posibilidad de una mayor presencia de las diversas colectividades politicas, en los escanos publicos electorales. En efecto, se ha evidenciado un fortalecimiento en la estructura funcional de cada partido politico, en la homogeneidad de los cuerpos colegiados de eleccion popular frente al querer popular manifestado en los comicios de cada legislatura, situacion que ha permitido la evolucion legal del regimen electoral con la imposicion de normas de bancadas de partidos politicos y el aumento de los regimenes de inhabilidades e incompatibilidades para acceder a las funciones legislativas y administrativas del Congreso de la Republica, de las Asambleas Departamentales y de los Concejos Municipales."
