                        Book Description

                        The behavior of adjacent materials at the boundary where they meet is an essential aspect of creating new engineering materials. Grain Boundary Migration in Metals is an authoritative account of the physics of grain boundary motion, written by two highly respected researchers. They provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge regarding the migration process and how it affects microstructure evolution, focusing their treatment exclusively on the properties and behavior of grain boundaries with well defined geometry and crystallography. With their emphasis on applications-such as the characterization of microstructure and texture, recrystallization, and grain growth-the authors effectively fill the gap between the physics of grain boundary motion and its engineering practicality. The need for better microstructural design motivates permanent thrust for research in the field, and continued rapid progress appears inevitable. Grain Boundary Migration in Metals provides a solid foundation in the phenomena and serves as a valuable reference for professionals in materials science, solid state physics, and any industry engaged in metals production and the heat treatment of metals and alloys.

                            Book Description

                            The FEL field has grown enormously over the last years, which is reflected in the number of papers presented at the 1998 conference. A few specific areas in FEL are particularly active. Several groups are investigating self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) as a route to 0.1 nm FEL. Although the technical challenges are large, a growing portion of the community believes this is a feasible goal and have begun planning 4th generation light sources based on this technique. Already, demonstrations of SASE by many orders of magnitude in an unguided (by external means) optical mode have been achieved in the IR with extension into the UV soon to follow. Other groups are extending the applications of FELs by evolutionary changes in the capabilities of user facilities around the world. Many of these utilize other sources of radiation synchronously with tunable FEL beams. An emerging trend is th use of Thompson scattered photons from the electron beam. Because of the Doppler shift involved, the photons can be up-scattered into the X-ray (keV) or even gamma ray (MeV) regime forming a useful picosecond probe for analysis of materials or nuclear structure. Other groups continue to extend the range of FEL operation and a new record was set this year for short wavelength lasing (210nm) as well as production of the highest CW average power yet for a FEL (311 W).

                            This exhaustive volume will provide the reader with an appreciation of the state of FEL technology and convey also the sense of excitement and interest that exists in the field. Despite the fact that it has been 22 years since the first demonstration of lasing in a FEL oscillator, the field continues to provide interesting areas for study and application.

                              Hal Clifford lives what he writes. As a member of Mountain Rescue-Aspen, an elite group of volunteers dedicated to helping those lost, injured, or worse in the rugged terrain surrounding one of America's favorite alpine playgrounds, he knows what it means to risk one's own life to save another. He understands the excitement that lures people to the mountains and has witnessed the deadly consequences of ill-conceived, or just plain unlucky, outings.

                              In The Falling Season, Clifford opens a window on the cliquish world of the "adrenaline junkies" drawn to the dangerous and heroic work of mountain rescue and offers first-hand accounts of actual emergencies. "I keep climbing, up toward a pile of rocks that is the 12,430-foot summit. I look up again and see a body, 50 yards ahead. It is lying head downhill, face turned up to the sky...." In crafting his story, Clifford reconstructs tension-filled events and mixes them with a chronicle of the team's long and colorful history. He focuses on the formerly unfettered group's ongoing struggle with the constraints of a litigious society, increased media exposure, and ballooning government bureaucracy. He attempts journalistic impartiality, but his personal involvement and emotional attachment show through, giving the story a powerful sense of urgency. Clifford possesses the technical skills, conditioning, and experience it takes to belong in Mountain Rescue-Aspen; fortunately for the reader, he happens to be a compelling writer as well. --George Laney

                              Book Description

                              An inside view of the dangers, emotions, and politics of a mountain rescue group, detailing what it is like to be on a rescue and covering one of the most publicized mountain rescue operations of the decade: Express Creek.

                              In an engrossing read, Hal Clifford takes you behind the scenes of Aspen's mountain rescue squad. This isn't simply a journalist's view, Clifford had to join the team to get his story.

                              In The Falling Season you'll be introduced to people from all walks of life who bond into extraordinary teams and who, on a moment's notice, will put themselves directly in harm's way to save you in the mountains. The season Clifford covers was a time of great change in the Aspen team, and he writes about the cohesiveness and the conflict with balanced insight. In a series of incisively written stories, he discusses some particularly difficult rescues; the death of one of their own; the Sheriff's attempts to control their operations; and a dramatic rescue operation that made national news for three days. Clifford gets you inside a mountain rescue team you won't soon forget.

                              4 out of 5 stars Interesting book.......2002-01-07

                              The falling season is a tough book to review, since I am involved in SAR work, not in Colorado though. First off the author is an excellent writer and keeps the book moving along. He gets into the personalities of the team members and when you do SAR work you realize that it is the interrelationships of the team personal that make or breaks your team. I think Mr. Clifford does a good job in detailing the day to day nuances of the characters in the book.

                              I also think that he portrays a realistic look at the tensions that arise between the NEEDED paramilitary Sheriffs department and the free-spirited rescuers. The facts are that the SAR Teams are going to become more and more under the direct aegis of the Sheriff departments. That means more liability issues will be raised and in turn more Certifications will be needed to be a member of any SAR team. While this may be a noble objective it also had the direct dilemma of ostracizing the competent members on any SAR team. I have seen it happen, so sometimes the net result is a SAR team will lose some competent people only to be replaced by individuals that have passed the minimum sheriffs department certifications. While technically these individuals are qualified to perform a rescue they are as inept as any mountain neophyte is and in most cases a liability to the team. But this is the wave of the future and a reason why the author sees SAR teams being staffed only by paid people.

                              One caveat for the any Non SAR person. This book does glamorize the work and makes it seem as non-stop action. I understand that the book has to do this otherwise it would be a bore to read. But real SAR work can be tedious and hard, no limelight, many days spent traipsing through buckthorn or on the side of some rattlesnake-infested ridge. You will come home on many days, dirty and tired, with fresh scrapes on your hands and faces oozing blood, just wondering just why you were assigned to search that area? But in the end it's always worth it.

                              3 out of 5 stars The Soap Opera.......2001-08-03

                              This book starts with a great, well painted rescue. Most of the remainder of the book then focuses on the egos and personal conflicts of the team and sheriff. "He said this and she said that and I said this." As a member of a busy SAR team, I was amazed at (and saddened by) how poorly the team and Sheriff got along. I also question the pseudo-conclusion that rescue teams will become paid services.

                              If you are looking for insight into the personal relationships the make up a rescue community, you will like this book.

                              3 out of 5 stars Good read, but a few inaccuracies.......2001-07-06

                              I read this book when it first came out. As someone who's familiar with Aspen's team, and who's been involved in mountain search and rescue in Colorado for many years, I found Hal's book to paint a pretty good picture of what it's like to be involved in mountain rescue work.

                              However, like a previous reviewer, I feel it's rather arrogant. Hal pumps-up Aspen's team while putting down other agencies, and I feel there are some questionable comments in the book related to this. There are many fine EMS agencies and rescue teams in Colorado (..and elsewhere) of the same caliber as Aspen's team. This book should have been more humble in that regard.

                              Otherwise, I recommend it for anyone interested in this topic.

                              5 out of 5 stars An excellent account of the operation of SAR.......2000-07-16

                              Tha Falling Season gives readers an inside look at the operations of one of America's best rescue teams, Aspen Mountain Rescue. This fast paced book also lets us inside the personal lives of several key team members and shows us the triumphs and conflict that inevitably exist in such groups. Truly an excellent book for anyone interested in search and rescue and outdoor sports or mountaineering.

                              5 out of 5 stars the "art" of integrity is almost lost, but Hal found some.......2000-01-09

                              in Search and Rescue and this could have been any SAR team, any County, USA. The general press gets us wrong every time but Hal got it right. Thank you for a sometimes tearful, often funny and believable read of one of the many sides of a multi-faceted SAR team. PS: the past pres. should get over it!

                              A worthwhile book especially for beginning shooters. His books would benefit greatly by including photos and diagrams that demonstrate what he is trying to describe in text. Mr. Stephens tends to repeat himself and spend too much time dwelling on the obvious. The biggest tips I gleaned were to work on avoiding "chicken finger" and fixating on targets too long. His tips and diagnostics for dry fire practise are worth the book's low price.

                              I could have saved my money on this one and bought more ammo at the range! This could have been a pamphlet handed out at the range summarisng all the basics steps that your instructor SHOULD be telling you.

                              I read this entire book and it became a chore after a while. Another reviewer wrote "Fluffy and Bland" when describing this book. I think that is an apt description. The book reads like those "Factoids" in USA Today. I don't feel like I learned a whole lot by reading it.

                              3 out of 5 stars Ok, not great.......2006-12-06

                              I had a hard time getting through this book because, although it was entertaining enough I guess, it was mostly stuff that I had known at one time and forgotten rather than containing much that was new and fascinating. I was really hoping for some uncommon and entertaining tidbits to add to my collection of useless trivia, but was fairly disappointed.

                              5 out of 5 stars I dont feel smarter, really. But I am sure I become less foolish!.......2006-10-06

                              When I picked it up, I was very skeptical. In this internet age I could simply search and browse for anything I can think of, or simply go to Wikipedia, if not a volume of Britannica. Luckily enough, the Campbell Soup like front cover gave me the final purchase push.

                              IMHO, it's not easy to edit a good book of this encyclopedia genre. Too long you will easily get bored. Too short you will deem it shallow and useless. Thanks to the editors, this 323 content page book of 15 topics delivers exactly the right stuff. It's concise, informative, interesting and definitely a page turner, a valuable attribute not commonly found in a non fiction type of book. Reviewer "Christina Lockstein" simply described it as the "Perfect Bathroom Book", a praise that I can agree no more. In short, highly recommended!

                                    The only thing thirteen-year old Arly cares about is her secret obsession with a handsome older boy named David Dolores. Her greatest joy is to follow and spy on him from afar. Then she meets another exciting person—a new girl at school, the sophisticated and dramatic Regina. When Arly shares her secret obsession, Regina wants to bring the fantasy into the light of day. Arly must step out from her friend’s shadow, stand up for her own perspective, and protect her dream of David.
