This book captures the dynamics of history, memory, and territorial
cults in Houay Yong, a Tai Vat village situated in the multiethnic
highland frontier between Laos and Vietnam. By taking seriously the
experiences of the villagers, it partakes in a broader movement to
reintegrate highlanders and their agency into history at large.
Based on comprehensive fieldwork research and the examination of
colonial archives, this book makes accessible, for an
English-speaking audience, untapped French archives on Laos and
early publications on territorial cults written by French
ethnologists. In so doing, it provides a balanced perspective,
drawing from the fields of memory studies and classical historical
research. Following a chronological approach stretching from the
nineteenth century to the present, it extends narrative analysis
through a comparative ethnography of territorial cults, a key
component of the performative and material presentification of the
past. Highly interdisciplinary in nature, History, Memory and
Territorial Cults in the Highlands of Laos will be useful to
students and scholars of anthropology, history, and religious
studies, as well as Asian culture and society.

This volume presents the foundations of carbon nanotube science,
reviewing recent developments and prospects for practical
application. Each chapter summarizes relevant concepts from
physics, chemistry or materials science, followed by detailed
reports on topics including polymorphism and mircostructure of
carbon; synthesis and growth; structural analysis by electron
microscopy; spectroscopic methods; electronic structure; transport;
mechanical and surface properties of nanotubes and composites.

Anselm Wusstegern und seine Freundin Sophie erleben in diesen
Wissenschafts-Comics im woertlichen Sinne die faszinierende Welt
der modernen Mathematik und Physik: Sich selbst durchdringende
Flachen, Dreiecke mit drei rechten Winkeln, schwarze Loecher sowie
die ersten Momente unserer Welt. Die Abenteuer, die der ewig
wissbegierige Anselm hier zusammen mit Sophie und seinen anderen
Freunden erlebt und die der Autor (er ist Physiker) alle selbst
gezeichnet hat, lassen Gewohntes in einem neuen Licht erscheinen
und zeigen, dass die Ergebnisse der modernen Wissenschaft nicht
immer trocken und abstrakt sein mussen.
