The history of the British Isles is the story of four peoples linked together by a process of state building that was as much about far-sighted planning and vision as coincidence, accident and failure. It is a history of revolts and reversal, familial bonds and enmity, the study of which does much to explain the underlying tension between the nations of modern day Britain. The Making of the British Islesrecounts the development of the nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland from the time of the Anglo-French dual monarchy under Henry VI through the Wars of the Roses, the Reformation crisis, the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, the Anglo-Scottish dynastic union, the British multiple monarchy and the Cromwellian Republic, ending with the acts of British Union and the Restoration of the Monarchy.

Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) is a rapidly growing analytical technique for detecting and identifying very small quantities of chemical compounds in air. It has seen widespread use in atmospheric monitoring and food science and shows increasing promise in applications such as industrial process monitoring, medical science and in crime and security scenarios. Written by leading researchers, this is the first book devoted to PTR-MS and it provides a comprehensive account of the basic principles, the experimental technique and various applications, thus making this book essential reading for researchers, technicians, postgraduate students and professionals in industry. The book contains nine chapters and is divided into two parts. The first part describes the underlying principles of the PTR-MS technique, including • the relevant ion-molecule chemistry • thermodynamics and reaction kinetics • a discussion of ion sources, drift tubes and mass spectrometers • practical aspects of PTR-MS, including calibration. The second part of the book turns its attention to some of the many applications of PTR-MS, demonstrating the scope and benefits, as well as the limitations, of the technique. The chapters that make up the second part of the book build upon the material presented in the first part and are essentially self-contained reviews focusing on the following topics: • environmental science • food science • medicine • homeland security, and • applications of PTR-MS in liquid analysis.

Er demokratiet den beste og eneste tenkelige styrings-formen? Hvem er i så fall best egnet til å sørge for at en rettferdig fordeling av godene blir ivaretatt? Og ikke minst: Hvordan kombinere demokratiets målsetting, den enkeltes frihet og utfoldelsestrang, med forpliktelsen overfor de andre? Allerede Platon var opptatt av de helt essensielle spørsmålene knyttet til demokratiet som styringsform og levesett. Med sitt omfattende verk diskuterer han på eksemplarisk vis basis for tanken om menneskelig samkvem. I denne antologien går norske dramatikere i dialog med Platon og hans til dels kontro versielle synspunkter. Resultatet er syv kortdrama som strekker seg fra en tur med en lokal bussrute et eller annet sted i Norge til Dubrovka-teatret i Moskva.
