For more than two years, John Sherwood roamed Maryland’s small towns and city neighborhoods, traveled Appalachian back roads, and sailed the Chesapeake looking for people whose work or way of life recalled the state’s rich and varied tradition. Maryland’s Vanishing Lives is his vivid account of the people he met on those journeys. Working in a country store or an old-time movie house, on a small tobacco farm or a weathered skipjack, Sherwood’s subjects interest us as people, as stubborn survivors who have watched -- sometimes defiantly, sometimes wistfully -- as the wor

Maryland: A Middle Temperament explores the ironies, contradictions, and compromises that give "America’s oldest border state" its special character. Extensively illustrated and accompanied by bibliography, maps, charts, and tables, Robert Brugger’s vivid account of the state’s political, economic, social, and cultural heritage -- from the outfitting of Cecil Calvert’s expedition to the opening of Baltimore’s Harborplace -- is rich in the issues and personalities that make up Maryland’s story and explain its "middle temperament."

One of the most exciting developments in modern physics has been the discovery of the new class of oxide materials with high superconducting transition temperature. Systems with Tc well above liquid nitrogen temperature are already a reality and higher Tc’s are anticipated. Indeed, the idea of a room-temperature superconductor, which just a short time ago was considered science fiction, appears to be a distinctly possible outcome of materials research. To address the need to train students and scientists for research in this exciting field, Jeffrey W. Lynn and colleagues at the Universit
