Extractions: THE INFORMATION AGE: ECONOMY, SOCIETY, AND CULTURE A selection of media reviews (key paragraphs) of Manual Castells' trilogy "We live in a period of intense and puzzling transformation, signaling perhaps a move beyond the industrial era altogether. Yet where are the great sociological works that chart this transition? Intellectually feeble accounts of the information society and vacuous accounts of postmodernism and substantive social interpretations. Hence the importance of Manuel Castells's multivolume work in which he seeks to chart the social and economic dynamics of the information age. It would not be fanciful to compare the work to Max Weber's "Economy and Society." Anthony Giddens, director of the London School of Economics, The Times Higher Education Supplement (London), 13 December 1996. When I first read the Giddens review I thought that this was perhaps slightly exaggerated tribute, but since reading all three volumes of Castells, reflecting on them and re-reading some of Weber's own work, I no longer think so." Chris Freeman, Professor and Director of the University of Sussex's Science Policy Research Unit, "New Political Economy," Vol. 3, Number 3, 1998.

Extractions: The new NYRA board of directors held its first meeting on the evening Monday, August 29th. Eight of NYRAs nine directors were in attendance, and the agenda was packed. The board added Scarlett Swerdlow and Kevin Keenan to the board of advisors. The board appointed members to committees and discussed the possible creation of new committees. They also formally thanked Rich Jahn for his service to the organization. Recognizing the need for a chapter policy, the board referred the matter to a committee. The board also referred the possible addition of alternate directors to the bylaws committee. Perhaps most importantly, the board elected officers. Alex Koroknay-Palicz, who has served as NYRAs President for five years, decided to step down so he could focus on his role as Executive Director. Robert Reynolds was unanimously elected to serve as President. Pamela Tatz and Jay Leff were both nominated to serve as Vice President. Via secret ballot, by a vote of 5-3, Pamela Tatz was elected Vice President. Katrina Moncure was unanimously elected to the office of Treasurer, and Scott Davidson was reelected to a third term as Secretary.

Quantum Mechanics History An overview of the development of quantum mechanics. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/The_Quantum_age_begins.ht
Extractions: Version for printing It is hard to realise that the electron was only discovered a little over 100 years ago in 1897. That it was not expected is illustrated by a remark made by J J Thomson, the discoverer of the electron. He said I was told long afterwards by a distinguished physicist who had been present at my lecture that he thought I had been pulling their leg. The neutron was not discovered until 1932 so it is against this background that we trace the beginnings of quantum theory back to 1859. In 1859 Gustav Kirchhoff proved a theorem about blackbody radiation. A blackbody is an object that absorbs all the energy that falls upon it and, because it reflects no light, it would appear black to an observer. A blackbody is also a perfect emitter and Kirchhoff proved that the energy emitted E depends only on the temperature T and the frequency v of the emitted energy, i.e. E J T v He challenged physicists to find the function J In 1879 Josef Stefan proposed, on experimental grounds, that the total energy emitted by a hot body was proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. In the generality stated by
