Modern physics is confronted with a large variety of complex spatial patterns. Although both spatial statisticians and statistical physicists study random geometrical structures, there has been only little interaction between the two up to now because of different traditions and languages.
This volume aims to change this situation by presenting in a clear way fundamental concepts of spatial statistics which are of great potential value for condensed matter physics and materials sciences in general, and for porous media, percolation and Gibbs processes in particular. Geometric aspects, in particular ideas of stochastic and integral geometry, play a central role throughout. With nonspecialist researchers and graduate students also in mind, prominent physicists give an excellent introduction here to modern ideas of statistical physics pertinent to this exciting field of research.

The morphology of spatially stuctured materials is a rapidly growing field of research at the interface of statistical physics, applied mathematics and materials science. A wide spectrum of applications encompasses the flow through porous and composite materials as well as microemulsions and foams. Written as a set of lectures and tutorial reviews leading up to the forefront of research, this book will be both a compendium for the experienced researcher as well as a high level introductory text for postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers working in related areas.

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Das Handbuch der Physik, dessen erste Bande hiermit der Offentlichkeit iibergeben werden, soll eine liickenlose Darstellung des derzeitigen Standes der experimentellen und theoretischen Physik bieten. Es umfaBt insgesamt 24 Bande, von denen Bd. I bis III Geschichte, Vorlesungstechnik, Einheiten, Mathematisehe Hilfsmittel; Bd. IV Grundlagen der Physik; Bd. V bis VIII Mechanik einschlieBlich Akustik; Bd. IX bis XI Warme; Bd. XII bis XVII Elektrizitat und Magnetismus; Bd. XVIII bis XXI Optik aller WellenHingen; Bd. XXII bis XXIV Aufbau der Materie und Wesen der Strahlung behandeln. Durch weitgehende Unterteilung des gesamten Stoffes auf die in den einzelnen Sondergebieten tatigen Forscher wurde eine wirklich moderne und kritische Darstellung der Physik angestrebt. Der Plan des Handbuches reicht bis zum Jahre 1922 zuriick. Um seine erste Entwicklung haben sich die Herren M. BORN-G6ttingen, F. EMDE-Stutt gart, J. FRANcK-G6ttingen, W. KossEL-Kiel, R. POHL-G6ttingen, E. REGENER Stuttgart und M. VOLMER-Charlottenburg verdient gemacht, denen wir auch an dieser Stelle unseren herzlichsten Dank fUr ihre Bemiihungen aussprechen. Beim weiteren Ausbau unseres Werkes haben wir uns der tatigen Mitarbeit der Herren R. GRAMMEL-Stuttgart, F. HENNING-Berlin, H. KONEN-Bonn, H. THIRRING-Wien, F. TRENDELENBURG-Berlin, W. WESTPHAL-Berlin zuerfreuen, welche die Redaktion einzelner Zweige der Physik iibernommen haben. Berlin und Kiel, im Januar 1926. Die Herausgeber. Inhaltsverzeichnis."

Many of the 10,000 miles of classified trout water in the state is easily accessible from major population centers. But this massive, complete work also includes smaller "secret" streams in remote regions. This third edition has been completely redesigned, as well as updated and expanded. Fourteen streams have been added. Features include: extensive insect hatch charts keyed to each stream; advice on matching the batch with the right flies; local fly patterns; color photographs and detailed maps; at-a-glance headings for each stream that tell you how to get there, what to bring, regulations, and highlights.

In Arizona, you'll find a variety of rivers and streams, from bottom-release tailwater fisheries to fertile high-desert creeks, from the Colorado River to the Valley of the Sun. In no other place in North America can you see Trico hatches in November and again in February and March! In this revised, updated, and expanded edition, authors Meck and Rohmer examine the state's trout waters impacted in recent years by floods, drought, and forest fires, such as Canyon and Cibecue creeks, the lower portion of the Salt River, and the Colorado and Upper Verde rivers. Coverage of many of the lakes has also been revised, and several lakes in central and southern Arizona have been added to round out this comprehensive, detailed guide.

In this long-awaited book, master fly-fisherman Charles Meck explains everything you need to know about the special techniques of fly-fishing small streams, including: Finding and rating productive streams Selecting rods, reels, lines, and leaders Small-stream casting techniques-including Meck's innovative "bow-and-arrow cast" What hatches to expect--and when--on small streams Tying buoyant and visible dry flies for small steams-as well as nymphs, wet flies, and terrestrials Improving fishing on your favorite streams

The essence of trout fishing with a fly is understanding hatches. That quest for understanding has spawned an entire literature of fly fishing. Meck's genius is to show the angler that the understanding we need to catch fish is not the memorization of hundreds of bugs and their Latin names. The key to successful fishing is using the right fly at the right time ("matching the hatch"). The Hatches Made Simple for the first time identifies the broad patterns by which hatches happen. For example, light tan colored mayflies tend to hatch at certain times, and drab gray mayflies hatch at other times. Instead of memorizing all the individual insects, the angler just needs to learn the timing of the patterns to these hatches. Armed with a knowledge of those patterns, matching the hatch becomes an entirely new game. More knowledge equals more fish.
