A concise, balanced overview of the most important topics in experimental particle physics of the past forty years is presented in this comprehensive study. Beginning with a review of particle physics and electromagnetic and nuclear interactions, the book continues with a discussion of three nearly universal aspects of particle physics experiments: beams, targets and fast electrons. The second part of the text details the properties of various types of particle detectors, such as scintillation and Cerenkov counters, proportional and drift chambers, sampling calorimeters, and special detectors. The last chapter demonstrates how the various aspects of the previous chapters can be integrated in an experimental system. There are numerous references to the research literature, in addition to examples and workable problems.

This book brings together the most important topics in experimental particle physics in the late twentieth century to give a brief but balanced overview of the subject. The author begins by reviewing particle physics and discussing electromagnetic and nuclear interactions. He then goes on to discuss three nearly universal aspects of particle physics experiments: beams, targets, and fast electronics. The second part of the book treats in detail the properties of various types of particle detector, such as scintillation counters, Cerenkov counters, proportional chambers, drift chambers, sampling calorimeters, and specialized detectors. Wherever possible the author attempts to enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of performance. Finally, he discusses aspects of specific experiments, such as properties of triggers, types of measurement, spectrometers, and the integration of detectors into coherent systems. First published in 1986, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

FINISHING WELL Finishing Well is the third and final book in our Well Trilogy, which focuses on establishing our legacy in later years. Finishing Well gives the reader an opportunity to assess ultimate contributions while navigating necessary transitions in life and leadership in order to establish a lasting legacy. This book is designed to integrate Biblical leadership principals, lessons, and examples with real life experiences to help the reader better understand the dynamics and challenges of growing older and navigating the end game in such a way that they do not hinder God's ultimate purposes for their lives. To put it simply, we want to help older (50- 60s) men and women who have started well, lived and lead well to finish well and leave a lasting legacy for God's glory, their fulfillment, and the next generation's benefit. Our focus in this book is finishing well. Our goals include: 1. Providing an overview of the leadership "landscape" of getting older so that you can anticipate challenges and opportunities in order to cooperate with God in his purposes. 2. Providing Biblical insight and opportunities to examine your spiritual formation and foundation as they relate to moral, relational, and faith barriers that if not dealt with can lead to burnout, blowout, or plateauing. 3. Ministering to your inner life as well as providing information about convergence and afterglow as you prepare to finish well and establish your lasting legacy. 4. Providing Biblical and real life insights and examples for navigating the challenges and embracing the opportunities of end game growth and ministry. It is our desire that Finishing Well will be a blessing to you. How our life and leadership ends, how we make critical transitions to empower the next generation of leaders, and the quality of relationships we have will determine how we finish and the quality of our legacy.

Unlocking Your Giftedness-What Leaders Need to Know to Develop Themselves and Others This self study manual gives the most complete treatment of giftedness on the market. It treats the whole giftedness set-natural abilities, acquired skills, and spiritual gifts. It views giftedness from the standpoint of a leader responsible for developing self and others. Notice especially the sub-title. This book clarifies and suggests developmental means. Concepts flow from accumulated research on leaders since 1983. (324 p.)

Living and Leading Well is the second book in the Well Trilogy that also includes Starting Well, for younger emerging leaders, and Finishing Well, for older experienced leaders. Living and Leading Well is designed to help you build a strong foundation which can stand the weight and pressures of mid-life while helping prepare you to finish well and establish a lasting legacy. Our vision in writing Living and Leading Well is to provide Biblically based insights, strategies, and resources to help mid-life "ministers" (whether they minister in the context of the church, marketplace, or other social settings) navigate the challenges that come with getting older, raising kids, and adjusting goals to the realities of mid-life. The goals of this book include: 1. Providing an overview of the leadership "landscape" of mid-life so that you can anticipate challenges and opportunities in order to cooperate with God in his purposes. 2. Providing Biblical insight and opportunities to examine your spiritual formation foundation using the I Timothy 1: 5 Principle to evaluate potential "cracks" in your foundation that can lead to burnout, blowout, or plateauing. 3. Ministering to your inner life as well as provide information about life and leadership purpose through mid-life. 4. Providing Biblical and real life insights and examples for navigating the challenges and embracing the opportunities of mid-life growth and ministry as you prepare yourself to finish well in life and leadership. It is our desire that Living and Leading Well will be a blessing to you. Far too many leaders today are loosing their way in mid-life. This does not have to happen to you We trust that God will meet you in the pages of this book and that your "strength will be renewed" and that you will better be able to "fight the good fight" so that someday you will stand before God and hear, "Well done... good and faithful servant "

This is a book for emerging leaders. Leaders are individuals who have the calling, character, and competency to influence others to accomplish God's purposes. The essence of leadership in the kingdom of God is influence, not (primarily) position or personal charisma. You don't have to be a full time worker in Christian ministry to be a leader. God is calling out people who are willing to serve him in faithfulness and obedience wherever they make there living or have an opportunity to impact others. This book is targeted for those who are responding to the call of God to influence others for the kingdom. Richard Clinton and Paul Leavenworth are offering this updated and expanded version of Starting Well with the hope that our original vision will be enhanced and enlarged so that another generation of younger emerging leaders will be resourced for developing a firm foundation upon which their life, leadership, and legacy will bring honor to God through faithfulness, focus, fulfillment, and fruitfulness.

This paper back book gives basic shaping processes for a young emerging leader. Character shaping and early ministry experiences are crucial to a good start. A good start, that is, building the foundations of ministry moves a leader on to understand the basic concept, that ministry flows out of being. Such a paradigm shift, moving to ministry flowing out of being, is a major step on continuing well and eventually finishing well.
