At age 16 Chris Kopczynski carved the words "Everest/Eiger" into the handle of his ice axe, marking his goal to climb the two mountains known as the "highest and the hardest." He accomplished that goal by the age of 33, becoming the ninth American to summit Everest and the first American to summit both the North Face of the Eiger and Mt. Everest. With the climbing addiction in his blood, he set new goals and became the twelfth in the world to climb the highest peaks on seven continents.

Higher Teaching is a practical manual designed for the new teacher in college or university. It is divided into two sections: Practice, which addresses what to when you get your first course outline to teach, how to choose strategies and plan lessons, and how to manage your classroom so it is a safe and positive place in which students learn. There are chapters on instructional media, teaching online assessment and evaluation, dealing with difficult students and academic integrity issues, and how to improve your teaching. The second part "Theory and Background," focuses on the theories that inform current higher education teaching and curriculum, adult education, and a very useful chapter of advices extracted from experienced teachers responding to the question "What's the advice you would give to a brand new teacher?" Also useful to a new teacher are the glossary of academic jargon and a lesson plan template.

This book focuses on chemical reactions and processing under extreme conditions-how materials react with highly concentrated active species and/or in a very confined high-temperature and high-pressure volume. Those ultimate reaction environments created by a focused laser beam, discharges, ion bombardments, or microwaves provide characteristic nano- and submicron-sized products and functional nanostructures. The book explores the chemistry and processing of metals and non-metals as well as molecules that are strongly dependent on the energy deposition processes and character of the materials. Descriptions of a wide range of topics are given from the perspective of a variety of research methodologies, material preparations, and applications. The reader is led to consider and review how a high-energy source interacts with materials, and what the key factors are that determine the quality and quantity of nanoproducts and nano-processing.

This textbook is designed to serve as a link between the basic disciplines of physics and the frontier topics within high energy astrophysics, aiming at a level of difficulty congruent with that of other physics topics studied at undergraduate level. Therefore, this preparatory and introductory text serves as a gateway to a more detailed study of many of the most interesting and complex phenomena being investigated by contemporary astrophysics. Among others, these include: the evolution of stars, supernovae, neutron stars, black holes, solar neutrinos, and - importantly - the exciting new field of gravitational wave astronomy.

This book is devoted to the most efficient method of obtaining spectroscopic parameters characterising the absorption of microwave radiation by the Earth's atmosphere. It explores why this field of science is interesting and important for humanity, and details the basics of gas phase molecular spectroscopy. The book also shows the advantages of the resonator spectroscopy technique for quantitative molecular analysis, and reviews the best-known investigations of diagnostic atmospheric lines and the continuum in the millimetre and submillimetre-wave range. It will appeal to a wide range of specialists in the fields of spectroscopy, atmospheric physics, and millimetre and submillimetre-wave techniques, and will be helpful for lecturers and students concerned with these specialised courses.
