Neutron Physics for Nuclear Reactors
This unique volume gives an accurate and very detailed description of the functioning and operation of basic nuclear reactors, as emerging from yet unpublished papers by Nobel Laureate Enrico Fermi. In the first part, the entire course of lectures on Neutron Physics delivered by Fermi at Los Alamos is reported, according to the version made by Anthony P French. Here, the fundamental physical phenomena are described very clearly and comprehensively, giving the appropriate physics grounds for the functioning of nuclear piles. In the second part, all the patents issued by Fermi (and coworkers) on the functioning, construction and operation of several different kinds of nuclear reactors are reported. Here, the main engineering problems are encountered and solved by employing simple and practical methods, which are described in detail. This seminal work mainly caters to students, teachers and researchers working in nuclear physics and engineering, but it is of invaluable interest to historians of physics too, since the material presented here is entirely novel.
The Devil's Dream
He'll raise the dead, at all costs... Perhaps the smartest man to ever live, Matthew Brand changed the world by twenty-five years old. In his mid-thirties, he still shaped the world as he wanted, until cops gunned down his son on the street. Brand's life changed then. He forgot about bettering Earth and started trying to resurrect his son. Eventually, Brand's mind overpowered even death's mysteries; he discovered how to bring back the dead--he only needed living bodies to make his son's life possible again. Why not use the bodies of those who killed his son? In the largest manhunt the FBI's ever experienced, how do they stop a man who can calculate all the odds and stack them in his favor?
Grounds for Appeal
Laura Adler, Public Defender, takes on the appeal of a man only because he was a childhood friend. Half-believing there are no real grounds for the appeal, she is shocked when strange, and dangerous, events threaten her own life. The problem is many of the suspects are friends of the victim or of Laura, herself: two prosecutors, an attorney in private practice, a photographer, a scientist at the med school, and Laura's client, himself. The P.D. meets a Baptist pastor who unwittingly may have the key to the victim's death and the two of them form an unlikely partnership and see the case to its surprising conclusion.
The Dad Next Door
His daughter needs her mother. And Gavin Gray will do anything for Tory. Even reunite with the woman who abandoned them. That's the only reason they've moved to Squam Lake, his ex–wife's last known address. Now it's a waiting game. That game has suddenly gotten more complicated. Because of Allison Bennett, the next–door neighbour he never expected to fall in love with. Just as their future looks promising, his ex–wife returns with a past that haunts them all.
