This is many of the old books which has been considered important throughout the human history. They are now extremely scarce and very expensive antique. So that this work is never forgotten We republish them in high quality, using the original text and artwork so that they can be preserved for the present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

Optical Bistability

By: Charles M. Bowden,Mikael Ciftan,Hermann R. Robl

During the past few decades we have witnessed at least two major innovations in science which have had substantial impact on technology as well as science itself, pervasive enough to modify many facets of our daily lives. We refer, of course, to the tran sistor and the laser. It is striking that now with the advent of optical bistability we may have opened the door to another such field, which combines these two aspects (transistor and laser) and has the possibility for important device applications as well as providing a unique window into the as yet not thoroughly explored frontiers of nonequilibrium statistical physics. This has prompted us to organize an international conference on the subject of optical bistability to provide an adequate means for assessing the current state of the art of this important field and to stimulate further significant developments by means of in tense technical exchange and interaction among the leading scien tists in this subject area.

American Letters from Khrushchev's Russia

Surprising Impressions of Life Behind the Iron Curtain 1961-62

By: Douglas M. Bowden, M.d.

During the Cold War our understanding of life in the Soviet Union was layered with so much ideology and competition that it was difficult to get a feel for the realities of daily existence there. The number of Americans living a normal life in communist Russia was negligible. Western embassy personnel were isolated as potential spies. Western business people and tourists were unwelcome. A number of exchanges of experts in various fields followed Soviet successes in nuclear arms development and Sputnik, but most involved short tours to identify other areas in which the Soviets might be outpacing the West. A major exception was the US-USSR inter-university exchange. In that program graduate students from American universities lived and conducted research in the Soviet Union for substantial periods of time. This book, authored by one of those students, provides a rare, first-hand account of life in the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. It describes the experiences of a culturally inquisitive Stanford medical student in the exchange during 1961-62. He recorded his impressions of historical events, social mores and personal life in a series of some forty letters to family and friends as he participated in brain-and-behavior research at Moscow State University. The author describes shaking hands with Nikita Khrushchev during a Fourth of July celebration at the US Ambassador's residence in Moscow. That event turned out to be the setting for the first contact between an attaché of the US Embassy and the Soviet military intelligence officer who tipped off the West to Khrushchev's intention to install missiles in Cuba later that year. The letters describe typical attitudes of Russian scientists, academics, and university students toward such topics as nuclear disarmament, Stalin's cult of personality, and the likelihood that peoples of the capitalist world could advance to communism without a series of bloody revolutions. They describe prototypic features of life in Soviet Russia including exasperatingly inefficient services and bureaucratic machinations as ludicrous as a Charlie Chaplin skit intermixed with spontaneous acts of genuine compassion and goodwill. They explore typical attitudes toward more personal aspects of life, such as dating, marriage, parenting, professional development, and religion. The author describes how the inter-university exchange operated. While he found his research to be in a field unhampered by free-floating political paranoia, he observed the frustrating experiences of other students who were not so fortunate. Accustomed to freedom of humanities research in US universities, they found themselves in a restrictive environment, pawns in an exchange designed primarily to provide Soviet students access to US knowledge in such fields as advanced physics and computer sciences. At worst students in Russian history, political science, and literature were perceived as potential secret agents collecting information to embarrass or harm the Soviet Union. The letters are amply annotated to clarify, in light of later developments, the historical significance of events that the author observed and to describe changes in his interpretation of events based on numerous visits to Russia over the subsequent five decades. American Letters from Khrushchev's Russia constitutes a new primary source of information for historians, sociologists, social psychologists, and cultural anthropologists who seek to reconstruct the social atmosphere and conventional wisdom of Russians during the early post-Stalinist era. It will enrich their understanding of the interaction of an ultimately transient totalitarian societal structure with enduring Russian familial, educational and religious institutions. The informal style of letters to family and friends will make the book a fascinating read for individuals who have lived, travelled or plan to travel in that exotic part of our world.

Crime, Disorder and Symbolic Violence

Governing the Urban Periphery

By: M. Bowden

This timely book provides a theoretical and empirical engagement with contemporary understandings of the governance of crime, safety and security. Using a Bourdieuian framework, Bowden explores concepts such as capital, habitus and symbolic power to present an analytic tool-kit for a critically engaged public criminology.

Guide to Effective Value Analysis and Value Engineering

By: Regina M. Bowden

Traditionally used for product design, redesign, and manufacturing, the Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) process can be applied successfully by both small and large companies to streamline general business processes such as reimbursement for business expenses, hiring , or supply chain management. This book examines and simplifies the VA/VE process and offers the structure and guidelines necessary to organize a team that can align around project definition, scope, outcome, current knowledge and gaps and define a way forward that benefits both the customer and the company.

Optical Bistability 2

By: Charles M. Bowden,Hyatt M. Gibbs,Samuel L. McCall

This volume is a collection of experimental and theoretical papers presented at the international "Topical Meeting on Optical Bistability", held at the University of Rochester, June 15-17, 1983, sponsored jointly by the Air Force Office of Scientific Re search; the Army Research Office; and the Optical Society of America. The Conference, which had 150 attendees, overlapped (on June 15) with the Fifth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics with two joint sessions. Some of the topics cover ed in this volume are also treated io the Proceedings of that Conference. Since the last international conference on Optical Bistability, held in Asheville, North Carolina, June 3-5, 1980, there have been new and important fundamental advances in the field. This is borne out in papers in this volume dealing with optical chaos and period doubling bifurcations leading to chaos as well as the report of results of an experiment using a very simple system exhibiting ab sorptive optical bistability in a ring cavity using optically pump ed sodium atoms, which was successfully analyzed quantitatively by a simple theory. Other advances discussed here include the ob servation of optical bistability due to the effect of radiation pressure on one mirror of a fabry-Perot cavity. and the prediction of mirrorless intrinsic opittal bistability due to the local field correction incorporated into the Maxwell-Bloch formulation. Advances in optical bistability in semiconductors relate closer to actual device applications.
