In the last decade, since the publication of the first edition of Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis, there has been a great expansion in the capabilities of the basic SEM and EPMA. High resolution imaging has been developed with the aid of an extensive range of field emission gun (FEG) microscopes. The magnification ranges of these instruments now overlap those of the transmission electron microscope. Low-voltage microscopy using the FEG now allows for the observation of noncoated samples. In addition, advances in the develop ment of x-ray wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometers allow for the measurement of low-energy x-rays, particularly from the light elements (B, C, N, 0). In the area of x-ray microanalysis, great advances have been made, particularly with the "phi rho z" [Ij)(pz)] technique for solid samples, and with other quantitation methods for thin films, particles, rough surfaces, and the light elements. In addition, x-ray imaging has advanced from the conventional technique of "dot mapping" to the method of quantitative compositional imaging. Beyond this, new software has allowed the development of much more meaningful displays for both imaging and quantitative analysis results and the capability for integrating the data to obtain specific information such as precipitate size, chemical analysis in designated areas or along specific directions, and local chemical inhomogeneities.

Here is a modern classic of unusually clear, practical instruction for the practice of Buddhist meditation: sitting and walking meditation, how one relates with the breath, feelings, thought, sense perceptions, consciousness, and everyday activities. Basic Buddhist topics such as the nature of karma, the four noble truths, the factors of enlightenment, dependent origination, and devotion are discussed.

In this important and timely work, one of today's most well-known and respected Buddhist teachers explains how important it is to cultivate mindfulness, compassion and wisdom. These three qualities have become the core of Western Buddhist practice -and their importance has been honed out of centuries of the very best of Theravadan, Tibetan and Zen teachings (among others). t last it is becoming possible to trace, develop and use a modern Buddhist tradition which is supremely relevant to life in the West today- founded on the immense richness of the past but also rooted in contemporary personal experience. ne Dharma is the definitive book on Western Buddhism. Rich in practical ways to cultivate the qualities of an awakened mind and heart, it will be enormously helpful to all those who want to improve their lives and make progress towards enlightenment.
