Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Fiction. Asian Studies. BUTTERFLY TEARS is a collection of
seventeen pieces of short fiction that depict the experiences of
Chinese immigrant women facing the challenges of life in a new
country. The stories are set in different parts of China, Canada,
and to a lesser extent in the United States and examine Chinese
women's cross-cultural experiences in North America as well as
women's issues and political discrimination in China. The stories,
or parts of stories, set in China give the reader interesting
glimpses into events such as the cultural revolution and Mao's
death.The immigrant experience, the predominant theme, encompasses
a number of aspects ranging from issues such as language and food
to education. Feminism and changing male/female relationships form
another important theme that also runs through many of the stories.
THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT In August of
1995, a group of over 70 physicists met at York University for a
three-day symposium in honour of Professor Jean-Pierre Vigier. The
attendance included theoretical and experimental physicists,
mathematicians, astronomers and colleagues concerned with issues in
the philosophy of science. The symposium was entitled "The Present
Status of the Quantum Theory of Light" in accordance with Professor
Vigier's wishes but in fact encompassed many of the areas to which
Professor Vigier has contributed over his long and distinguished
career. These include stochastic interpretations of quantum
mechanics, particle physics, and electromagnetic theory. The papers
presented at the symposium have been arranged in this proceedings
in the following approximate order: ideas about the nature of light
and photons, electrodynamiCS, the formulation and interpretation of
quantum mechanics, and aspects of relativity theory. Some of the
papers presented deal with alternate interpretations of quantum
phenomena in the tradition of Vigier, Bohm et al. These
interpretations reject the account given in purely probabilistic
terms and which deems individual quantum events to be acausal and
not amenable to any analysis in space-time terms. As is well known,
Einstein and others also rejected the purely statistical account of
quantum mechanics. As stressed by Professor Vigier at the
symposium, the current experimental situation now allows for the
first time for individual quantum events to be studied, e. g.
The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as
"Zechmeister" after its founder, L. Zechmeister, have appeared
under the Springer Imprint ever since the series' inauguration in
1938. The volumes contain contributions on various topics related
to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry,
function or use of various classes of naturally occurring
substances ranging from small molecules to biopolymers. Each
contribution is written by a recognized authority in his field and
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic in
question. Addressed to biologists, technologists, and chemists
alike, the series can be used by the expert as a source of
information and literature citations and by the non-expert as a
means of orientation in a rapidly developing discipline.
Recent results from high-energy scattering and theoretical
developments of string theory require a change in our understanding
of the basic structure of space-time. This book is about the
advancement of ideas on the stochastic nature of space-time from
the 1930s onward. In particular, the author promotes the concept of
space as a set of hazy lumps, first introduced by Karl Menger, and
constructs a novel framework for statistical behaviour at the
microlevel. The various chapters address topics such as space-time
fluctuation and random potential, non-local fields, and the origin
of stochasticity. Implications in astro-particle physics and
cosmology are also explored. Audience: This volume will be of
interest to physicists, chemists and mathematicians involved in
particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
Volume 1 of this Series is intended to give the reader a
fundamental understanding of the key areas deemed essential to the
study of bioelec trochemistry. A thorough grasp of the theory and
methodology of these basic topics is vital to cope successfully
with the complex phenomena that currently face investigators in
most bioelectrochemical laboratories. Chapter 1 outlines the
nonequilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics of the processes
involved, stressing the connection between the two ap proaches.
Particular emphasis is placed on the enzymes catalyzing cytosolic
reactions and membrane transport. The techniques discussed are
sufficient for the study of systems in the steady state, but
systems that are evolving towards the steady state, or show some
other time-depen dent behavior, require in addition the techniques
of mathematical modelling. These are dealt with in some detail in
Chapter 2, where network representation of the system is treated at
length as the method of choice in carrying out appropriate
simulations. In Chapter 3 attention is directed to the twin
problems of water structure and ionic hydration."

Economic Association is the first thematic volume offered in this
series. Devoted to the thorny topic of the economic dimensions of
peace in the Middle East, it is hoped that this book will clarify
some of the main issues confronting different Middle Eastern actors
in a post-Oslo world and provide a basis for further inquiry and
exploration.
