New England. 1648. The Piscataqua Settlement. A young woman has been found dead, her violated body stripped naked and thrown in a river. Her husband, a reclusive and learned man, has mysteriously halted his legal proceedings against the most likely suspect, who has disappeared into the wilderness. The settlement's elders call on a young Englishman, Richard Browne, to discover the truth about what happened. But the more he learns, the more puzzling the crime becomes, and the more he finds himself drawn to the wife of the missing suspect. Based on an actual unsolved murder from the records of colonial America, Robert J. Begiebing's The Strange Death of Mistress Coffin is at once a spellbinding mystery and a fascinating evocation of life in early America.

"When Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker threatened the collective bargaining rights of the state's public-sector employees in early 2011, the huge protests that erupted in response put the labor movement back on the nation's front pages. It was a fleeting reminder of a not-so-distant past when the "labor question"-and the power of organized labor-was part and parcel of a century-long struggle for justice and equality in America. Now, on the heels of the expansive "Occupy Wall Street" movement, the lessonsof history-in seemingly short supply-are a vital handhold for the thousands of activists and citizens everywhere who sense that something has gone terribly wrong. This pithy but accessible volume provides readers with an understanding of the history thatis directly relevant to the economic and political crises working people face today, and points the way to a revitalized twenty-first-century labor movement. With original contributions from leading labor historians, social critics, and activists, LaborRising makes crucial connections between the past and present, and then looks forward, asking how we might imagine a different future for all Americans"--

DEMANDING THE IMPOSSIBLE explores the inheritance of Paris legendary political carnival of May 1968, in which 11 million workers went on strike and ultimately brought down the government of Charles de Gaulle, and asks what has become of the ideal and the myth of resistance. The German occupation of France during the Second World War gave the idea of resistance its heroic glamour for more than sixty years, but the recital of resistance stories has always had to do with attempts at the recovery of honour. Questions about where resistance and collaboration met and tangled remain alive and sensitive to this day. In its search for the power of 'No' or 'Enough', DEMANDING THE IMPOSSIBLE combines elements of fiction, history, reportage and analysis, and cuts back and forth in time and place (Paris, Papua, Timor, Sydney, Ernabella, Alice Springs). Sylvia Lawson's interest in the entanglement of history, culture and politics as it applies to everyday resistance, is best exemplified by - but not limited to - journalistic obsession. As wartime resistance recedes from living memory, and 1968 becomes faded and distorted, historical retrieval becomes important. It is not a case now of asking what's left of resistant action and great moments, and certainly not a case of pointing to morals. What's important is to tell these stories again in new contexts, dispelling myth in favour of history, and submitting history to the uses of the present and the future.

The peculiarities of materials at the nanoscale demand an interdisciplinary approach which can be difficult for students and researchers who are trained predominantly in a single field. A chemist might not have experience at working with cell cultures or a physicist may have no idea how to make the gold colloid they need for calibrating an atomic force microscope. The interdisciplinary approach of the book will help you to quickly synthesize information from multiple perspectives. Nanoscience research is also characterized by rapid movement within disciplines. The amount of time it takes wading through papers and chasing down academics is frustrating and wasteful and our reviewers seem to suggest this work would give an excellent starting point for their work. The current source of published data is either in journal articles, which requires highly advanced knowledge of background information, or books on the subject, which can skim over the essential details of preparations. Having a cookbook to hand to flick through and from which you may select a preparation acts as a good source of contact both to researchers and those who supervise them alike. This book therefore supports fundamental nanoscience experimentation. It is by intention much more user-friendly than traditional published works, which too-frequently assumes state of the art knowledge. Moreover you can pick up this book and find a synthesis to suit your needs without digging through specialist papers or tracking someone down who eventually may or may not be able to help. Once you have used the recipe the book would then act as a reference guide for how to analyze these materials and what to look out for. 100+ detailed recipes for synthesis of basic nanostructured materials, enables readers to pick up the book and get started on a preparation immediately. High fidelity images show how preparations should look rather than vague schematics or verbal descriptions. Sequential and user-friendly by design, so the reader won't get lost in overly detailed theory or miss out a step from ignorance. A cookbook, by design and structure the work is easy to use, familiar and compact.
