Fundamentals of the Theory of Metals
by A. A. AbrikosovThis comprehensive primer by a Nobel Physicist covers the electronic spectra of metals, electrical and thermal conductivities, galvanomagnetic and thermoelectrical phenomena, the behavior of metals in high-frequency fields, sound absorption, and Fermi-liquid phenomena. Addressing in detail all aspects of the energy spectra of electrons in metals and the theory of superconductivity, it continues to be a valuable resource for the field almost thirty years after its initial publication. Targeted at undergraduate students majoring in physics as well as graduate and postgraduate students, research workers, and teachers, this is an essential reference on the topic of electromagnetism and superconductivity in metals. No special knowledge of metals beyond a course in general physics is needed, although the author does presume a knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum statistics.

Studies in Hysteria
by Sigmund Freud A. A. Brill Joseph BreuerDiscover the foundational work that laid the groundwork for modern psychoanalysis with Studies in Hysteria, co-authored by Joseph Breuer and Sigmund Freud. This seminal book explores the mysterious and often misunderstood condition of hysteria, providing groundbreaking insights into the human psyche and the development of psychoanalytic theory.Published in 1895, Studies in Hysteria presents a series of detailed case studies and theoretical essays that delve into the symptoms, causes, and treatment of hysteria. Breuer and Freud’s collaborative effort marks a pivotal moment in the history of psychology, offering a new perspective on the connection between mind and body.Joseph Breuer, a renowned physician, and Sigmund Freud, then an emerging neurologist, explore the use of "talking cure" or cathartic method as a therapeutic technique. They detail how repressed emotions and traumatic experiences can manifest as physical symptoms, and how bringing these unconscious memories to consciousness can lead to healing. The book includes the famous case of Anna O., whose treatment by Breuer is considered a landmark in the history of psychoanalysis. This and other case studies illustrate the complex interplay between psychological and physical symptoms and demonstrate the efficacy of psychoanalytic techniques.Studies in Hysteria is not only a cornerstone of psychoanalytic literature but also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of psychology, the origins of therapeutic practice, and the intricate workings of the human mind.Join Joseph Breuer and Sigmund Freud in exploring the early stages of psychoanalytic thought and uncovering the hidden depths of the human psyche. Studies in Hysteria is a timeless exploration of the mind that remains relevant and influential over a century after its publication.
The Interpretation of Dreams: The Complete And Definitive Text (Dover Thrift Editions)
by Sigmund Freud A. A. BrillUntil the beginning of the twentieth century, most people considered dreams unworthy of serious consideration. Sigmund Freud, however, had noticed that they formed an active part in the analysis of his patients, and he gradually came to believe that they represent struggles by the unconscious to resolve conflicts. In this classic of psychology, Freud explains the dual nature of dreams - their apparent content and their true, if hidden, meaning - as well as the concept of wish fulfillment and a universal language for interpreting dreams.This groundbreaking work also contains Freud's introduction of the notion that sexuality plays an important role in childhood, a theory that deeply shocked his contemporaries. Psychological journals rejected the book, and scientific publications ignored it, but the author recognized it as containing his greatest insights. The Interpretation of Dreams eventually helped set the stage for psychoanalytic theory, and it remains Freud's most original work.
Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex

The Classic Cattleyas
by A. A. Chadwick Arthur E. ChadwickIn 1818, William Cattley succeeded in flowering one of the first species of the genus that would bear his name. These first cattleyas are the classic cattleyas, whose form defined the essence of tropical orchids for generations to come. Indeed, the color of their flowers became known as "orchid." In this helpful and informative book, each classic Cattleya species is described in fascinating detail, and its role in breeding programs is elucidated. All that is required to appreciate and grow the large-flowered cattleyas successfully is included. Cultivation, humidity and watering, fertilizing, propagation, and diagnosing and treating problems are detailed, making this volume valuable for both veteran orchid enthusiasts and those who simply love these beautiful flowers.
Where to This Time Gramma?
by A. A. ConstantinaGramma is coming to pick me up any minute now. We are going on a trip somewhere in this vast world of ours. I have no idea where we are going. The only clue I have is this glove Gramma gave me on her last visit. The glove matches the flag colour of the country we are visiting. “Where to this time Gramma?” I asked. Gramma showed me the plane tickets. “South Africa? We are going to South Africa?” I asked with excitement. “Indeed we are Sprout, indeed we are,” says Gramma. “Gramma are we going to see elephants and giraffes?” I asked. “Indeed we are Sprout, indeed we are,” says Gramma. “Gramma are we allowed to ride an elephant?” I asked. “Indeed we are Sprout, indeed we are,” says Gramma. Wouldn’t it be fun to come along with Gramma and I as we travel South Africa? You can watch us ride an elephant at the Addo Elephant park then come on safari to Kruegar National Park to hunt the ‘big five’. There’s so much to see and learn at the Two Oceans Aquarium. Did you know you can walk with the penguins at Boulder Beach Penguin Colony?
The Baptist Story: Sermons on the Trail of Blood
by A. A. Davis M. J. LeeThe Baptist Story is a story of struggle and triumph, victory and heartbreak. There have always existed, although sometimes in the most remote regions, those who sought to maintain pure New Testament practice in the face of all adversity. These believers were a simple people who led a simple life, and who sought to adhere to the simple, primitive practices of the New Testament. For their adherence to the simple truths of God’s precious Word, these Godly saints suffered banishment, imprisonment, persecution, some even suffering death by fire and sword. Their persecutions were sanctioned by the pagan religious establishments of that day. But these saints endured because “they loved not their lives unto the death.” They counted the truth of God’s Word more precious than family, friends, and their very lives.This excellent work, which is a series of sermons based upon The Trail of Blood by the revered J. M. Carroll, presents in a simple, enlightening, and easy to read fashion, the story of these precious souls who lived pure lives and died for the simple truths which are often taken advantage of today.Baptists of today need to become more aware of the struggles borne by their forefathers and the premium price paid for the maintenance of New Testament truth. Just as we owe the military soldiers a debt for the sacrifices they have made for the cause of personal freedom, so we owe an even greater debt to the soldiers of the cross who suffered and gave their lives to secure our religious freedom, which is taken for granted today.We present this book with the hope that it will be used to make God’s people aware of their glorious past. We pray that the all-wise God will see fit to use this work to once again enlighten His people and to give them the courage to stand for the truths contained in His precious Word.
Fire Resistant and Thermally Stable Materials Derived from Chlorinated Polyethylene
by A. A. Donskoi M. A. Shashkina G. E ZaikovThis new volume in the book series New Concepts in Polymer Science focuses on the problem of creating materials with reduced combustibility as well as the use of polymeric materials for protection from fire or overheating. The majority of polymeric materials are combustible, which has led to the development of polymers, and materials based on these, with reduced combustibility. However the combustibility degree or their ability to protect from fire or high temperature can be indicated only in particular cases of combustion. In this volume the results of the development of physicochemical bases for creating organic polymeric materials with reduced combustibility, which are capable of protecting against high temperatures are discussed. A presentation of chlorinated polyolefins as organic polymers with reduced combustibility is also given.
