 | Since the invention of the first working laser in 1960, development of
these devices has progressed at an unprecedented rate. This book traces
the history of the laser from the first theoretical predictions of
stimulated emission made in the 1920s through the experimental
development of masers and lasers in the 50s and 60s, to the advanced
applications of lasers in the present day. Along the way it tells the
fascinating and at times controversial story of the people behind the
discoveries. Written in a style accessible to the general public, it
will be of interest to those working within the laser community and
anyone with an interest in the history of science. |

 | Addressing disease of the frontal sinus successfully remains, perhaps,
one of the most technically challenging issues encountered by
otolaryngologists. The intricate anatomy, combined with a narrow
aperture and relatively acute angle of approach, leads to complexity
not encountered elsewhere in surgery of the sinuses. |

 | The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal
Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it
continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies
sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority,
realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and
professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing
better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family
situations as from business challenges. |

 | "Coetzee stirs our imaginations by confronting us with an articulate,
intelligent, aging, and increasingly alienated novelist who cannot help
but be exasperated with her fellow human beings, many of them
academics, who are unnecessarily cruel to animals, and apparently (but
not admittedly) committed to cruelty. The story urges us to reconceive
our devotion to reason as a universal value."--From the introduction by
Amy Gutmann The idea of human cruelty to animals so consumes
novelist Elizabeth Costello in her later years that she can no longer
look another person in the eye: humans, especially meat-eating ones,
seem to her to be conspirators in a crime of stupefying magnitude
taking place on farms and in slaughterhouses, factories, and
laboratories across the world. |
