ON JANUARY 10, 1865 JOHN WILKES BOOTH, DAVID HEROLD, AND LEWIS POWELL KIDNAPPED PRESIDENT LINCOLN AS HE WALKED FROM THE NEARBY WAR DEPARTMENT OR TELEGRAPH OFFICE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. SEVERAL WEEKS EARLIER BOOTH HAD A NEARBY CARPENTER BUILD TWO LOW SLUNG WAGONS FOR TRANSPORTING THE PRESIDENT TO THE RICHMOND AREA. AFTER MANY MONTHS OF PLANNING IT WAS NOW HAPPENING. THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM WINDOWS WERE BOARDED OVER. WHEN LINCOLN WOULD GO ON A WALK AROUND THE HOME OR WOULD CUT FIREWOOD, DAVY HEROLD WITH HIS GUN WOULD ALWAYS BE NEARBY. IN MID-FEBRUARY A NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TO BORROW SOMETHING AND WAS INTRODUCED TO LINCOLN AS BEING SOMEBODY ELSE.THE NEIGHBOR ALSO SAW THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM BOARDED OVER. THE NEXT DAY THE NEIGHBOR TRAVELLED TO THE NEARBY BATTLE BEING FOUGHT AND MET WITH GENERAL SHERIDAN. WASHINGTON QUICKLY MADE PLANS TO RESCUE LINCOLN WHICH THEY DID BUT NOT BEFORE HEROLD AND BOOTH ESCAPED TO THE NEARBY BARN. BOOTH WAS KILLED. LINCOLN HAD ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO WRITE HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS WHICH HE GAVE.
Although a considerable amount of information concerning the applications for arc plasmas in the materials sciences is available, it is contained in literally thousands of separate manuals, technical notes, textbooks, and government and industrial reports. Each source generally deals with only one specific application or, at best, a narrow range of utilization. This book was developed to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date compilation of information in the technology of arc plasma utilization. The book is divided into two general categories: flame spraying and materials evaluation. In the flame spraying section a comprehensive review of the plasma spraying process is presented. The design and operation of plasma spraying equipment are described. Included are a description of the nature of a plasma, and the design and operation of plasma generators, powder feed systems and accessory control equip ment. The general process procedures, and associated process variables are de scribed. Particular emphasis is given to the particle heating process and the mechanisms for adherence and cohesion of coatings. Competitive flame spraying equipment is also detailed (combustion process, detonation and electric arc) and compared with the plasma spray process. A discussion and compilation of flame sprayed ceramic and metal materials, their properties and applications are also included.

This necessary desk reference for every practicing spectroscopist represents the first definitive book written specifically to integrate knowledge about group frequencies in infrared as well as Raman spectra. In the spirit of previous classics developed by Bellamy and others, this volume has expanded its scope and updated its coverage. In addition to detailing characteristic group frequencies of compounds from a comprehensive assortment of categories, the book includes a collection of spectra and a literature search conducted to verify existing correlations and to determine ways to enhance correlations between vibrational frequencies and molecular structure. Particular attention has been given to the correlation between Raman characteristic frequencies and molecular structure. - Constitutes a necessary reference for every practicing vibrational spectroscopist - Provides the new definitive text on characteristic frequencies of organic molecules - Incorporates group frequencies for both infrared and Raman spectra - Details the characteristic IR and Raman frequencies of compounds in more than twenty major categories - Includes an extensive collection of spectra - Compiled by internationally recognized experts
This book provides a comprehensive review of seminal as well as recent results in the theory of condensed phases, including liquid metals, quantum liquids and Wigner crystals, along with selected applications, especially in the physical chemistry of molecules and clusters. A large part of this work is dedicated to the Thomas-Fermi semiclassical approximation for molecules and condensed phases, and its extension to inhomogeneous electron liquids and liquid metals. Correlation effects in quantum liquids and Wigner crystallization are other areas of focus of this work, with an emphasis towards the effect of low dimensionality and magnetic fields. The volume is a collection of reprints by N H March and collaborators over five decades. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Kinetic and Potential Energies of an Electron Gas (761 KB). Contents: Quantal Electron Crystals; Structure, Forces and Electronic Correlation Functions in Liquid Metals: Nuclear Structure Factor and Pair Potentials in Some sp Liquid Metals; Electronic Correlation Functions in Liquid Metals; One-Body Potential Theory of Molecules and Condensed Matter: ThomasOCoFermi Semiclassical Approximation; Transcending ThomasOCoFermi Theory; Applications of One-Body Potential Theory: Local and Non-local. Readership: Graduate students, researchers and academics in theoretical physics; condensed matter theorists and quantum chemists.

This is the second edition of a well-established study of perhaps the most controversial and contested concept in the social sciences. The book traces the historical origins of welfare to eighteenth-century sources in moral and social philosophy and shows how, in the evolution of the concept, doctrines of welfare have been associated with a variety of social philosophies, including utilitarianism, rights, individualism and collectivism. The result is a well-rounded text for students of politics, sociology and social policy, and an essential reference for researchers as well as those with a wider interest in the welfare state.
