Liquid crystals are fluids with a directionality defined. Polymers are long molecules with a shape that can be changed. As a network, polymers form rubber - a soft solid that is locally liquid-like and capable of huge extension. Liquid crystal elastomers are a combination of all these curious aspects, but with additional, revolutionary new phenomena - for example, spontaneous shape changes of several hundred percent induced by temperature change, with equally large opto-mechanical responses, shape change without energy cost ("soft elasticity"), colour change with strain, lasing and photonics, sensitivity to molecular handedness and soft solid ferroelectricity. This book is a primer for liquid crystals, polymers, rubber, and elasticity. It then describes the theory and experiment of these remarkable materials for the first time as a monograph. Worked examples are solved so that the reader can become proficient in the field himself. The book is directed at physicists, chemists, material scientists, engineers and applied mathematicians at the graduate student level and beyond

Historical Archaeology Through a Western Lens

A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic TitleThe mythic American West, with its perilous frontiers, big skies, and vast resources, is frequently perceived as unchanging and timeless. The work of many western-based historical archaeologists over the past decade, however, has revealed narratives that often sharply challenge that timelessness. Historical Archaeology Through a Western Lens reveals an archaeological past that is distinct to the region-but not in ways that popular imagination might suggest. Instead, this volume highlights a western past characterized by rapid and ever-changing interactions between diverse groups of people across a wide range of environmental and economic situations. The dynamic and unpredictable lives of western communities have prompted a constant challenging and reimagining of both individual identities and collective understandings of their position within a broader national experience. Indeed, the archaeological West is one clearly characterized by mobility rather than stasis. The archaeologies presented in this volume explore the impact of that pervasive human mobility on the West-a world of transience, impermanence, seasonal migration, and accelerated trade and technology at scales ranging from the local to the global. By documenting the challenges of both local community-building and global networking, they provide an archaeology of the West that is ultimately from the West.

Written by a practising architect and gerontologist, this text explains how to create a home environment that will help coping with the many difficulties associated with Alzheimer's. The text is divided into two parts. The first of which deals with interior and exterior spaces individually, providing information on how to ensure that the Alzheimer's patient will be safe and secure. The second part gives a detailed list of potential problems related to Alzheimer's and practical information on how to cope with those problems in the home setting.

Tragedy of the Royal Tar

On October 25, 1836, the sidewheel steamer Royal Tar caught fire in Maine's Penobscot Bay. On board was a small circus menagerie returning to Boston from a summer-long tour of the Canadian Maritimes. Plagued by gale-force winds and rough seas, the usual overnight trip from Saint John, New Brunswick, stretched out to four days and, on the fourth day, disaster struck off the island of Vinalhaven. Thirty-two people and all of the circus animals perished in the tragedy.Mark Warner explores the events leading up to that fateful day. Beginning with the construction of the Royal Tar, he traces the vessel's service history, the menagerie's tour of the Maritimes, the cause of the fire, and details of the rescue operation.

This quantum mechanics primer will accompany the reader from school to university. The formal basis of the subject is briefly introduced, and the reader is then quickly given the tools to start solving problems as diverse as quantising motion in potentials, quantum mechanical tunnelling, muon catalysed fusion, pair production, motion in nanostructures, and the interference of particles as waves. Chapters 1-3 guide the transition from school to university, and develop the skills and understanding that are typically tested in admissions to university physics, maths and engineering degrees. Chapters 2-5 cover university-level quantum mechanics courses, up to the second year of a typical physics degree. All problems can be answered and marked on the Isaac Physics online platform. Registration is free and gives both students and teachers personalised support through a sophisticated online marking system for all problems.
