In this book the authors present a unique synthesis of materials
that evolved from the World Conference on Innovative Higher
Education, which brought together the heads of universities from
over thirty countries, along with other prominent men and women
concerned with higher education, to share information on education
innovation and change. Much more than simply a conference report,
the book addresses the fundamental issues of change in higher
education and how change works and where it is leading and looks at
the ways in which innovations meet changing needs.

'Rogue states' have been high on the policy agenda for many years
but their theoretical significance for international relations has
remained poorly understood. In contrast to the bulk of writings on
'rogue states' that address them merely as a policy challenge, this
book studies what we can learn from deviance about international
politics.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth International
Confer- ence on Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS V), held at
the Capitol Holiday Inn, Washington, DC, USA, from September 30 to
October 4, 1985. The conference was the fifth in a series of
conferences held bienni- ally. Previous conferences were held in
Miinster (1977), Stanford (1979), Budapest (1981), and Osaka
(1983). SIMS V was organized by Dr. R. J. Colton of the Nayal
Research Lab- oratory and Dr. D. S. Simons of the National Bureau
of Standards un- der the auspices of the International Organizing
Committee chaired by Prof. A. Benninghoven of the Universitat
Miinster. Dr. Richard F. K. Herzog served as the honorary chairman
of SIMS V. While Dr. Herzog is best known to the mass spectrometry
community for his theoretical development of a mass spectrometer
design, known as the Mattauch-Herzog geometry, he also made several
early and impor- tant contributions to SIMS. In 1949, Herzog and
Viehbock published a description of the first instrument designed
to study secondary ions pro- duced by bombardment from a beam of
ions generated in a source that was separated from the sample by a
narrow tube. Later at the GCA Cor- poration, he brought together a
team of researchers including H. J. Liebl, F. G. Riidenauer, W. P.
Poschenrieder and F. G. Satkiewicz, who designed and built, and
carried out applied research with the first commercial ion
microprobe.
In his book, the author, a physicist with more than 30 years
experience in an International Research Centre, describes and
analyses his "travels" in another reality, i.e. experiences in a
not-everyday plane of consciousness. They are called "holotropic"
i.e. aiming towards the "Whole" and are in part comparable with
near-death experiences and spontaneously occurred again and again
(without the use of drugs ). The struggle between the author's
"physics conscience" and the recollections of that other reality is
the theme that recurs throughout the book. Topics that are
discussed include: *Creation, the Big Bang and the Higgs field *The
position of women in the Bible and in contemporary society *
Trinity, a concept common to all religions *Is God male or female,
or...? A new view of God *Religion, Spirituality and Science
*Space, Time and Matter. Physics and Mysticism. What is real?
*Polarity, the driving force for all events on earth *Archetypes:
Fertility, the Great Mother, Gaia and the New Energy *The global
crisis: Imbalance between nature and technology; Egoism versus
Altruism. By reading this book with the heart, the overwhelming
beauty of the "higher worlds" will open step by step and the reader
will behold the infinite splendour of eternal BEING.
