Wiley-Blackwell
2018
nidottu
A clear-cut introduction to the technique and applications of x-ray absorption spectroscopy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy is being applied to a widening set of disciplines. Applications started with solid state physics and grew to materials science, chemistry, biochemistry and geology. Now, they cut across engineering materials, environmental science and national heritage — providing very detailed and useful information facilitating understanding and development of materials. This practical guide helps investigators choose the right experiment, carry it out properly and analyze the data to give the best reliable result. It gives readers insights to extract what they need from the world of large-scale experimental facilities like synchrotrons, which seem distant to many laboratory scientists. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy for the Chemical and Materials Sciences seeks to educate readers about the strengths and limitations of the techniques, including their accessibility. Presented in six sections, it offers chapters that cover: an introduction to X-ray absorption fine structure XAFS; the basis of XAFS; X-ray sources; experimental methods; data analysis and simulation methods; and case studies. A no-nonsense introduction to the technique and applications of x-ray absorption spectroscopyFeatures Questions to support learning through the bookRelevant to all working on synchrotron sources and applications in physics, materials, environment/geology and biomedical materialsFour-color representation allows easy interpretation of images and data for the reader X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy for the Chemical and Materials Sciences is aimed at Masters-level and PhD students embarking on X-ray spectroscopy projects as well as scientists in areas of materials characterization.

Triangle Ray is a collection of short stories linked by the character of Ray Fielding, introduced first as a young black man coming of age in the 1980s and infatuated with his schoolmate, Marie. Against the wishes of their families, the two marry just out of high school, but the marriage falls apart within a few years as time makes them strangers to each other. Twenty years later, Ray is unmarried and still searching for a lasting romance, especially with Alma, whom he meets at the hotel where he works. Through his interactions with Marie, Alma, and others, Ray explores the motives behind the ways we retell our stories, and how we ignore or embrace the future that is already taking shape in the present.A keen observer of social factors and class disparity, John Holman writes with sharp prose and startling insight, and employs diverse form and point of view to examine issues of race and class within the context of Ray's romantic aspirations.
A Barnes & Noble Sensational Debut Novel"Something of a miracle." - The Memphis FlyerJohn Pritchard's acclaimed first novel, Junior Ray, takes the reader on a wild rideinside the mind of Junior Ray Loveblood, a Mississippi Delta deputy sheriffas bloodthirsty as he is misguidedly hilarious. Junior Ray narrates the story inhis own profane, colloquial voice, telling why he hates just about everybody, andwhy he wants to shoot Leland Shaw, a shell-shocked World War II hero and poetwho is hiding in a silo from what he believes are German patrols.Through a series of sleights of hand, misdirections, and near misses, Junior Rayand his sidekick Voyd give a dark tour of the Delta country as they chase theirmysterious prey. Junior Ray's thoughts are peppered with excerpts from Shaw'snotebooks-sometimes starkly different from Junior Ray's diatribe, sometimeseerily similar-and by the end of the story, it is up to the reader to sort out whosereality is more fantastic, Shaw's or Loveblood's, as the one stalks the other throughthe pages of this highly original and darkly comedic story."This writer knows the country whereof he speaks, its dialect, its mores andfolkways. But this is not sociology. It is primitive fiction of the sort one rarelysees. More's the pity. Underneath this violent language and narrative, there is asweet truth. It deserves to be read." - Harry Crews, The Mulching of America"Junior Ray runs on a belly laugh per page. When Junior Ray, a deputy sheriffwho makes Flem Snopes sound cultured, sets out to track down a 'maniac' loosein the Mississippi Delta, he proves to be more demented than his prey. Like hisprotagonist, John Pritchard's novella is outrageous and ribald, a revolt againstthe literary school of manners and a ride that takes Southern Gothic to newextremes." - Curtis Wilkie, Arkansas Mischief

John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries
Brent Raynes
Independently Published

Brent Raynes' newest book, John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries, chronicles the life of influential ufologist and American journalist, John A. Keel. The Mothman Prophecies movie (2002), a supernatural thriller starring Richard Gere, was loosely based on Keel's book of the same title. Brent had established a personal relationship with John Keel in 1969. Shortly after the movie's release, both men discussed its portrayal of Keel's book. Overall, Keel was satisfied that the movie had effectively captured both the essence of the foreboding atmosphere surrounding Point Pleasant, and the varied, inexplicable occurrences that residents experienced during that period.What sets Raynes' remarkable book apart from other books about Keel's life and work is both his personal relationship with Keel, and his unique, conversational, and intimate writing style. Raynes' book describes additional mysterious occurrences surrounding the legend of the Mothman Prophecies, similar to the cases in the movie. Join Raynes as he explores the true and incredible events Keel investigated. Keel's pioneering work continues to influence the author in addition to researchers who carry on studies of these "ongoing mysteries."
Magic Rays of Light is an original and ambitious history of the largely unknown early years of television in Britain. A detailed cultural study of the first demonstrations, of the extensive experimental broadcasts between 1928 and 1935, and of the BBC’s richly varied daily service starting in November 1936 from Alexandra Palace, the book overturns the popular mis-conception that television in Britain effectively began with Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953.In tracing this history, John Wyver chronicles the process by which a technology became a medium. He argues that much of what that television as we knew it in the late twentieth century was created within the fluid and at times unstable forms of the interwar medium. Most fundamentally the basics of television’s screen language and grammar were developed. As this emerged, television drama flourished in the staging of more than 400 plays, from Shakespeare and Agatha Christie to Pirandello and P.G. Wodehouse, starring luminaries including Laurence Olivier, Sybil Thorndike and Peggy Ashcroft. Outside broadcasts of state occasions, and of Wimbledon and Test matches, were pioneered, along with transmissions of the Derby (from 1931 onwards) and the FA Cup Final. Light entertainment formats, quiz shows and the direct ancestor of countless magazine programmes were devised, alongside ambitious presentations of classical ballet and grand opera. As a striking counterpoint to this story, Magic Rays of Light also celebrates the inchoate, indeterminate nature of interwar television. In certain key ways, from the first imaginaries and sci-fi visions of television, and in aspects of how it was made, of what was produced and how this was seen, early television was entirely distinct from what the medium later became. The book reveals television’s forgotten pasts and unrealised futures, including the low resolution, vertical format transmissions of John Logie Baird’s first systems, and the live, large-screen electronic projection systems known as ‘cinema television’. Relaying sports events and pageantry to cinemas, this pre-war sensation was seen by the BBC as a serious threat to its monopoly. By attending closely to the transmissions of the first fifteen years, to the emerging medium’s industrial context, and to its intermedial links with radio, theatre, cinema, music hall, sport and more, Magic Rays of Light illuminates television’s place in the cultural and social histories of Britain between the wars.
