This book provides a unified theory on nonlinear electro-magnetomechanical interactions of soft materials capable of large elastic deformations. The authors include an overview of the basic principles of the classic theory of electromagnetism from the fundamental notions of point charges and magnetic dipoles through to distributions of charge and current in a non-deformable continuum, time-dependent electromagnetic fields and Maxwell's equations. They summarize relevant theories of continuum mechanics, required to account for the deformability of material and present a constitutive framework for the nonlinear magneto-and electroelastic interactions in a highly deformable material. The equations contained in the book formulate and solve a variety of representative boundary-value problems for both nonlinear magnetoelasticity and electroelasticity. Product details

A best-selling combination of driving guidebook and road atlas, this completely revised and updated edition is an extremely practical guide to touring New Zealand by road. There are 50 colour maps, each accompanied by a witty and interesting guide to all of the touring highlights covered on the map. Driving Scenic New Zealand is totally focused on driving, rather than what to do and where to stay in cities and towns, so it is packed with information that drivers actually want and need - places to visit when you are on the road, where to eat and drink or buy petrol, distances and times between locations, and, most importantly, where the toilets are! Combining this information in a new and fresh way with the scenic photography of Craig Potton, Driving Scenic New Zealand is an essential companion for all New Zealanders who love touring by car, and for international visitors who are travelling in much greater numbers by car and campervan.

The definitive account of the Great War and national bestseller from one of our most eminent military historians, John Keegan. The First World War created the modern world. A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. The First World War probes the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict and takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse t

This is a reference to the major developments of North American history from pre-human settlement to the American Civil War and more recent changes. Maps and commentary look at such areas as the settlements made by the American indians, European discovery and colonization, the Revolution, the expansion of the frontier, the struggles of the Civil War and the acceptance into the Union of the new states and territories.

Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley shocked America in 1948 with their allegations that Communist spies had penetrated the American government. The resulting perjury trial of Alger Hiss is already legendary, but Chambers and Bentley also named Harry Dexter White, a high-ranking Treasury official. (Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Armed with a wealth of new information, Bruce Craig examines this controversial case and explores the ambiguities that have haunted it for more than half a century. The highest ranking figure in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations to be accused of espionage, White played a central role in the founding of the United Nations' twin financial institutions, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. For years
