A graduate-level entrée to the application of renormalization group theory to condensed matter physicsRenormalization group (RG) ideas have had a major impact on condensed matter physics for more than a half century. This book develops the theory and illustrates the broad applicability of the renormalization group to major problems in condensed matter physics. Based on course materials developed and class-tested by the authors at Harvard University, the book will be especially useful for students, as well as researchers in condensed matter physics, soft matter physics, biophysics, and statistical physics. After reviewing Ising models, lattice gases, and critical point phenomena, the book covers quantum critical phenomena; the statistical mechanics of linear polymer chains; fluctuating sheet polymers; the dynamics associated with the Navier-Stokes equations and simplified models of randomly stirred fluids; the properties of "active matter," and more. Exercises are included throughout. Explores the broad applicability of renormalization groups to condensed matterCovers critical phenomena in different dimensions, quantum critical points, polymer physics and flexural phonons in free-standing graphene, nonequilibrium fluid dynamics, and moreProvides a modern, physics-centered entrée, suitable for both course use and self-studyFeatures material ideal for for graduate-level students as well as researchersIncludes exercises throughoutOffers a solutions manual for exercises (available only to instructors)

It's been three years since the world went dark. Matt Blaine and his family, as well as their fellow townsfolk, have gotten on with their lives as best as they could under the circumstances. Then the unthinkable happens: the town is attacked by two antagonists, one viral, one human. It will take everything Matt and his family have, with the help of some newcomers, to overcome and survive, while trying to save their town at the same time.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) preached thousands of sermons to millions of people. If all of his sermons and other writings were brought together and bound in book form, the normal-size volumes would exceed two hundred in number. His preaching, wit, and wisdom maturity levels were far beyond his years. While "[p]recious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints," the world lost a wonderful preacher when God called Spurgeon home at the young age of 57.

It's TEOTWAWKI- The End Of The World As We Know It. Matt Blaine's fears have been realized: EMPs (electromagnetic pulses) have knocked out all power across the globe. Now his "Disaster Circle" buddies, Rondell Mixon, Lonnie Llewellyn, and Frank Marshall, must make their way to the safety of Matt's secluded farm near the shores of Lake Huron. Traveling from various points across Michigan's mitten, they all have to deal with adversity- thieves, rapists, weather, injuries, and a gang of raiders calling themselves the Vikings. With communications nonexistent, they have no way of knowing if the others will make it to their destination. They all meet new people- a teacher, a survivalist wannabe, an expectant couple, and a pair of hiking enthusiasts. Dodging bullets and bandits, the Disaster Circle members are helped by some, and pay it forward by helping others. The question on everyone's mind is, Will they all make it to the farm, and will they make it in one piece? Travel with Matt's friends as they struggle to come together.

Slaughter must catch his quarry, resolve the conflict, and try to stay alive, all at the same time. He may have turned in his badge, but he retained his sense of justice.

It's been fifteen months since the power went out. Matt Blaine and his family, both blood and friends who have become family, are in a bind. Supplies are running low and game is getting scarce. Matt must make a decision: does he relocate everyone to a place where game is more plentiful, or does he travel far from home in order to try and expand the trade routes? While Matt is trying to bridge the trade gap, others at the farm have their own bridges to build; some personal, some beneficial to all. Max's disturbing leap into manhood and US Army Colonel Blanton's return with a "wealth" of information from the outside are but a couple of them. Travel with the Blaines as the strength of these bridges is put to the test.

The British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD) was established in 1980 as a forum for research into the theory and practice of databases. The original conference in the series took place at the University of Aberdeen. To be precise, this conference was in fact entitled ICOD which stood for International Conference on Databases. It was the intention, when the series began, that an ICOD would take place every two years, whilst a BNCOD would run in the years in between. As the record shows ICOD was only held in 1980 and 1983. The more junior conference has managed to acquire a lifetime much longer than that of its senior relative! If truth wereknown,however,BNCOD has,overthe years,growninto ICOD and although the conference is still titled "e;British National,"e; it is, in fact, an international conference that takes place on a yearly basis. Proof of this can be obtained simply by looking at the table of contents of these proceeding which clearlyshowthatthe majorityofpaperspresentedatthis year'sconferencecame from contributors whose a?liations are outside the UK. Despitetherangeofpapersono?er,BNCODstillretainsitsuniquelyBritish ?avor. The Programme Committee is drawn from UK academics and the c- ference is always held at a British university (or in earlier years a polytechnic!).

"e;Here is a work that emphasizes the full view of the lives of those young people that Gacy took. . . . It is essentially the Gacy story in reverse. Victims first."e; -Jeff Coen, author of Murder in Canaryville As investigators brought out the bagged remains of several dozen young men from a small Chicago ranch home and paraded them in front of a crowd of TV reporters and spectators, attention quickly turned to the owner of the house. John Gacy was an upstanding citizen, active in local politics and charities, famous for his themed parties and appearances as Pogo the Clown. But in the winter of 1978-79, he became known as one of many so-called "e;sex murderers"e; who had begun gaining notoriety in the random brutality of the 1970s. As public interest grew rapidly, victims became footnotes and statistics, lives lost not just to violence, but to history.Through the testimony of siblings, parents, friends, lovers, and other witnesses close to the case, Boys Enter the House retraces the footsteps of these victims as they make their way to the doorstep of the Gacy house itself.
