The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin explores how Le Guin's fiction
and essays have built a speculative ethical practice engaging
indigenous knowledge and feminism, while crafting utopias in which
human and other-than-human life forms enter into new relations. Her
work also delineates new ways of making sense of the "science" of
science fiction. The authors of this collection provide up-to-date
discussions of well-known works as well as more experimental
writings. Written in an accessible style, Legacies will appeal to
any readers interested in literature, science fiction and fantasy,
as well as specialists of science and technology studies,
philosophy of science, ethics, gender studies, indigenous studies
and posthumanism.
The workshop "Nonhnear MHD Waves and Turbulence" was held at the -
servatoire de Nice, December 1-4, 1998 and brought together an
international group of experts in plasma physics, fluid dynamics
and applied mathematics. The aim of the meeting was to survey the
current knowledge on two main topics: (i) propagation of plasma
waves (like Alfven, whistler or ion-acoustic waves), their
instabilities and the development of a nonlinear dynamics lea ding
to solitonic structures, wave collapse or weak turbulence; (ii)
turbulence in magnetohydrodynamic flows and its reduced description
in the presence of a strong ambient magnetic fleld. As is well
known, both aspects play an important role in various geophysical
or astrophysical media such as the - gnetospheres of planets, the
heliosphere, the solar wind, the solar corona, the interplanetary
and interstellar media, etc. This volume, which includes expanded
versions of oral contributions pre sented at this meeting, should
be of interest for a large community of resear chers in space
plasmas and nonlinear sciences. Special effort was made to put the
new results into perspective and to provide a detailed literature
review. A main motivation was the attempt to relate more closely
the theoretical un derstanding of MHD waves and turbulence (both
weak and strong) with the most recent observations in space
plasmas. Some papers also bring interesting new insights into the
evolution of hydrodynamic or magnetohydrodynamic structures, based
on systematic asymptotic methods."
