Which animal is a master of disguise, able to make its skin bumpy or smooth to blend in with the background? An octopus! It’s hard to imagine that a spineless creature such as the octopus is actually an intelligent animal. Some, such as the giant Pacific octopus, weigh up to 154 pounds and can stretch up to 23 feet from arm to arm! Young readers will discover through vibrant photos and intriguing text that octopuses, often misunderstood and feared, are actually curious, playful, and gentle sea creatures.

Ten riveting true stories of dramatic events in tunnels around the world! Did you know that tunnels were instrumental in the dramatic rescue of 72 hostages held for over four months in the Japanese Embassy in Lima, Peru? During the Vietnam War, guerrilla fighters known as the Viet Cong created a sophisticated system of tunnels complete with four levels, trap doors, and strategic ditches, slopes, and zigzags that rendered grenades and tear gas ineffective. And in Richmond, Virginia, during the American Civil War, 109 Union prisoners-of-war made a daring escape from Libby Prison after

A fresh look at the phenomenon of mode conversion with tunneling. This volume provides a thorough analysis of plasma wave resonance absorption—a mode conversion process used in wave heating and diagnostics worldwide. The only book to incorporate mode conversion into a general treatment of plasma physics and plasma waves, it describes a broad range of applications and develops methods of mode conversion that are more advanced and precise than others in use today. This monograph presents the complete theory underlying the diagnostic implications of the process, combining estimates of tunn

The election of both Urban VI and Clement VII to the papacy in 1378, by the same body of cardinals, presented the church with an apparently insoluble constitutional difficulty. Dr Swanson examines the reaction to this situation from a hitherto unconsidered perspective: that of the universities to whom Europe turned to formulate the theories which would solve the problem. He examines the attempts by the academics to gain support for their various schemes and shows how these produced conflict at various levels: locally, between factions within individual universities; nationally, between rival u
