This book introduces in a thorough and self-contained way the production of electromagnetic radiation by high energy electron storage rings. This radiation, which is called synchroton radiation, has become a research tool of wide application. Physicists, chemists, biologists, geologists, engineers, material scientists, and other scientific disciplines use it as a structural probe for the study of surfaces, bulk material, crystals, and viruses. Solids, liquids and gases can be spectroscopically analysed by using synchroton radiation. This book brings together for the first time the properties as well as the means of production of synchroton radiation and presents them in a coherent and clear way. It will be an indispensable reference for all those involved in modern synchroton radiation experiments.

Durango, Colorado, has been pivotal in Southwestern archaeology for a number of years. Points, Pithouses, and Pioneers is the first popular treatment of the entire range of this city's archaeological past, from the earliest Paleoindians to the recent European settlers. Philip Duke and Gary Matlock describe in detail the archaeology of Durango and its surrounding areas and examinine the development of Durango archaeology since the turn of the century. The book shows how the citizens of Durango are role models for how best to preserve a city's past. Points, Pithouses, and Pioneers places Durango archaeology into the wider context of Southwestern and world archaeology, introducing the general reader to some of the exciting developments in interpretation that are currently sweeping the discipline. This volume uncovers the potential wealth of knowledge that lies beneath U.S. cities, and it demonstrates how the public has the choice either to destroy or to preserve the past. Points, Pithouses, and Pioneers will appeal to both scholars and amateur archaeology enthusiasts. Professional archaeologists will appreciate the authors' careful research and detailed descriptions of local sites. The book will also interest not only local avocationalists wanting to know more about Durango's archaeology and how new approaches to interpretation are revolutionizing the discipline, but also casual visitors wanting to learn a little bit more about the area's fascinating past. Philip Duke is professor of anthropology at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Together with Gary Matlock, he was instrumental in developing the city of Durango's archaeological protection policy. Gary Matlock spent the bulk of his professional life working in the Four Corners region. He served as state archaeologist for the Bureau of Land Management in Alaska and Colorado, has taught at Fort Lewis College, and recently retired as forest archaeologist for the San Juan National Forest in Durango.

Archaeology

As researchers bring their analytic skills to bear on contemporary archaeological tourism, they find that it is as much about the present as the past. Philip Duke’s study of tourists gazing at the remains of Bronze Age Crete highlights this nexus between past and present, between exotic and mundane. Using personal diaries, ethnographic interviews, site guidebooks, and tourist brochures, Duke helps us understand the impact that archaeological sites, museums and the constructed past have on tourists’ view of their own culture, how it legitimizes class inequality at home as well as on the island of Crete, both Minoan and modern.

When Spiro, Maria and Anna Andrakis, a young immigrant family from Greece, are unwillingly thrust into the maelstrom of the Colorado Coalfield War (1913-1914), the most brutal labor conflict in American history, they must overcome a series of tragedies that change their lives forever. A Terrible Unrest is a novel of desperate bravery and horrendous violence, of unflinching loyalty, abject betrayal and human survival.
