This book provides the knowledge and understanding necessary to comprehend the operation of individual electronic devices that are found in modern micro-electronics. As a textbook, it is aimed at the third-year undergraduate curriculum in electrical engineering, in which the physical electronic properties are used to develop an introductory understanding to the semiconductor devices used in modern micro-electronics. The emphasis of the book is on providing detailed physical insight into the microscopic mechanisms that form the cornerstone for these technologies. Mathematical treatments are therefore kept to the minimum level necessary to achieve suitable rigor.

The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led to the development of novel devices, and advances in theoretical understanding of mesoscopic systems or nanostructures. This book has been thoroughly revised and provides a much-needed update on the very latest experimental research into mesoscopic devices and develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding their behavior. Beginning with the key observable phenomena in nanostructures, the authors describe quantum confined systems, transmission in nanostructures, quantum dots, and single electron phenomena. Separate chapters are devoted to interference in diffusive transport, temperature decay of fluctuations, and non-equilibrium transport and nanodevices. Throughout the book, the authors interweave experimental results with the appropriate theoretical formalism. The book will be of great interest to graduate students taking courses in mesoscopic physics or nanoelectronics, and researchers working on semiconductor nanostructures.

*Very substantial revision incorporating recent advances *Extensive literature review citing up-to-date key references *ICD-10 and DSM-IV *Popular format of headings and lists retained *Remains a key revision aid and a comprehensive review of psychiatry.Widely regarded as a popular and essential part of the MRCPsych candidates armament this third edition has been radically revised and extended. It brings all of the curriculum topics of the Part II exam up-to-date and includes 1995 references where appropriate. Recent developments such as novel treatments (Clozapine), community psychiatry initiatives, and advances in biological psychiatry (eg. AIDS, Alzheimer's Disease) are be fully dealt with. The aim of the book is to help psychiatric trainees with their revision and the text is presented in the form of definitions, key facts, figures and lists. It was never intended as a substitute for wider reading, rather it is an aide-memoire both as a prelude to the exam and thereafter. The original team of Dr Bird and Dr Harrison are now joined by Dr Peter Buckley. He is closely involved in post-graduate education in the USA and his contribution gives the book added emphasis in terms of classification and cited research. This ensures the book's appeal not only in its traditional strongholds but also in North America and Australasia.

Shadows and Light is a photographic exploration of the sea in black and white. This gorgeous and stunning book features 73 haunting images of the underwater world by world-renowned underwater photographer Jonathan Bird. Featuring images of everything from invertebrates to dolphins and whales, as well as shipwrecks and reefs, Shadows and Light opens a new window to underwater photography in black and white.

From the rainforests, waterfalls and hundreds of rivers and streams, to the blue Caribbean Sea, Dominica is truly a land of water. In this amazing photographic exploration of Dominica, author Jonathan Bird takes readers on a journey from the cloudy mountain peaks at almost 5,000 feet to the depths of the blue ocean just offshore. The Commonwealth of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled islands in the Caribbean. Bird, though a native of the United States, considers Dominica his second home and has traveled to Dominica dozens of times to photograph the stunning scenery above and below the waves.

Dominica: Land of Water

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Gale ECCO, Print Editions

Early fall 2020 ten authors met at an online meeting site for the first time, over a glass of wine. The idea of an anthology was born. Together, we compiled this anthology to resemble an old 45 RPM vinyl record, with an A and B side. The 'A' side stories are all based on the theme, "Tolerance." Whereas side 'B' are tales straight from the hearts of the authors. Both sides, like those records of old, are a banquet of entertainment for the reader. So sit back with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, put your feet up, get comfy, and prepare to enjoy the feast.
