An Introduction to Regge Theory and High Energy Physics (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Originally published in 1977, this book presents an extended introduction to the theory of hadrons, the elementary particles which occur in the atomic nucleus. The main emphasis is on the theory of the complex angular momentum plane 'Regge theory', which has grown from Regge's demonstration in 1959 that it is useful to regard angular momentum as a complex variable when discussing solutions of the Schrodinger equation for non-relativistic potential scattering. This theory helps to classify the many different particles which have been discovered in recent years, to explain the forces between these particles and to predict the results of high-energy scattering experiments. Regge theory thus serves as a unifying concept drawing together many different features of high-energy physics. This monograph is intended primarily for research students just beginning to concern themselves with particle physics, but more experienced workers will also find much to interest them in this detailed survey of the basic ideas and results of Regge theory.

In The School that Cared, P. Kamara Sekou Collins examines the struggles that African-American students encounter within the public school system in Cincinnati, Ohio. Collins explores blacks and the arena of education during the 19th and 20th centuries, which led to the implementation of alternative strategies, such as the development of contemporary school communities, in order to provide a quality education for African-American students. As a contemporary continuation of this gallant historical education struggle, Collins highlights the Marva Collins Preparatory School of Cincinnati.

This is the first book on the cardioprotective role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women and in women who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy. Author Collins has pioneered these studies and has also identified syndrome X, topic of one of the book's chapters. The book presents an objective analysis of all available data on the relationship between hormone replacement and cardiovascular risk, vascular effects of hormone replacement, and potential mechanisms of vascular function. It covers both the causative and therapeutic roles of estrogen in syndrome X and contains clinical chapters on the route of administration and on current medical opinion about the cardioprotective role of HRT. *Syndrome X is typical exertional angina pectoris, positive exercise test, and normal coronary arteriograms in the absence of coronary artery disease, systemic hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, or valvar heart disease.
