DOWNLOAD EBOOKTeller's Last Band is Steve Flick's second novel. Teller is set in the worlds of sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, psychiatry and Hawaii. Teller is first disillusioned by the music business and then swept up in it when he is asked to join a famous rock band not only to play sax, but also to help the leader Alan Bristowe kick his drug habit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Jahn-Teller effect is a consequence of the electron-phonon coupling in high symmetry systems. Its influence covers a wide range of physical and chemical properties and systems. As the biannual Jahn-Teller symposia bring together experimental and theoretical physicists and chemists from all over the world, this proceedings volume reports the latest scientific news on the effect.The contents of the volume range from the general aspects to some special topics, such as ultrafast processes, fullerenes, point defects, cooperative phenomena, HTSC and oxide properties. Some contributions are dedicated to the memory of Mary O'Brien, a globally honored specialist in the theory of the Jahn-Teller effect. Throughout personal reminiscences of O'Brien's enormous contributions to the subject, the recent history of the effect is summarized.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBecause of the high symmetry involved, the Jahn-Teller effect is the natural starting point for considering electron-phonon (or vibronic) interactions in icosahedral molecules. This work is the first comprehensive theoretical analysis of the Jahn-Teller interaction in C60 and other icosahedral complexes. The importance of this research derives in part from the increasing, widespread interest in C60 and other molecular clusters and their application in science and industry. The electrical and spectroscopic properties of fullerene and fulleride compounds depend intimately on the coupling between the electronic and vibrational modes of these systems, and this book addresses the fundamental theoretical questions. In particular, a chapter is devoted to the connection between the theory and experimental observations, such as ESR (electron spin resonance) effects and molecular spectra. Earlier books have discussed the theory of Jahn-Teller interactions in lower symmetry structures (cubic, tetrahedral, tetragonal, trigonal,...); this is the first that focuses on the new icosahedral systems, whose most famous example is Buckminsterfullerene, C60. The book's authors have over fifty years of combined research experience into the theoretical aspects of the Jahn-Teller effect.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDiary Poems and Story Tellers Rhymes continues two traditions of poetry into contemporary times: (a) the oral tradition where fables, parables, and myths are narrated in rhymed verse, both for instruction and entertainment; (b) the introspective and reflective written tradition where deep personal concerns emerge in heightened rhythm and rhyme, through images, metaphors, and symbols. This book blends these two traditions, maintaining a distinction all the time. Some of the fables are originally created out of contemporary issues. “Poach Tantra” takes up the problem of poaching through an animal fable in the Panchtantra tradition. Others like “The Snake Story,” “The Comet Avatar,” and the “Katha Serial Saga” (a contemporary retake on the frame story of Kathasaritasagar) are remakes of ancient myths to suit the contemporary times. The Diary Poems are actually diary poems preserved through a period of intense personal crisis and transition. Together with the Story Tellers Rhymes, they try to juxtapose the complex and intricate relationship between the objective and the subjective worlds in which we simultaneously exist. For example, “Curtain Calls” is a meditation after the death of the poet’s parents in quick succession in 2010. “Poach Tantra” that follows is a grandfather’s tale to a granddaughter from an earlier date. At the same time, one sincerely hopes that they are able to continue into these troubled contemporary times, and in an age dominated by prose and reason, the wonder and beauty and possibilities of poetry as narrative and poetry as introspection.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The thing about hitting bottom is that, in the middle of it, sometimes you don't know if you're really hitting bottom or just bouncing off ledges on your way further down." Charlie Teller is a ghostwriter of best-selling celebrity autobiographies, until an affair and a fraud destroy his marriage and career. He's given a rare chance to start over, but just as he begins, Charlie finds himself the only witness to a friend's murder and is drawn into the investigation. Now someone has Charlie in his sights, and Charlie doesn't know if it's Eddie Mahler, a wise-guy police detective, or Vincent, a laconic ex-Special Forces soldier, or Kenny McDonald, a once famous pop singer turned deranged coke dealer. And, as he uncovers the truth of his friend's life, Charlie is brought face to face with his own past, remembered through his association with the subjects of his books: an aging novelist, a rock musician, a film star . . . Set in the towns and back roads of Northern California wine country, Teller is a mystery and a surprising novel about the meaning of memoir and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes an inspiring parable of music, life, and the difference between playing all the right notes…and feeling them. The Music Lesson is the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning...All you have to do is find the song inside. “The best book on music (and its connection to the mystic laws of life) that I've ever read. I learned so much on every level.”—Multiple Grammy Award–winning saxophonist Michael Brecker

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is based mostly on the reports presented at the XVth International lahn-Teller Symposium on Vibronic Interactions in Crystals and Molecules and NATO Advanced Research Workshop Colossal Magnetoresistance and Vibronic Interactions that took place at Boston on August 16-22 of the year 2000. This is the first time the Symposium took place in the USA where recently the giant splash of the attention to the 1 ahn-Teller effect occurred. This tremendous interest to the field all over the world is reflected not only in the numerous publications in many American and European 10urnals, but of the leading scientists from additionally in the Symposium's participation the well known Universities, National Laboratories and industrial companies, which was the largest in the history of the Symposium. The renaissance of the 1ahn-Teller physics is closely related to the three fundamental discoveries in science. The most significant among them is the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity by K. -A. Muller and G. Bednorz, for whom the "1ahn-Teller idea" was the motivation in their search. The result of this search is well known - a wide spectrum of the 1ahn-Teller ion based materials with Tc between 24K and 135K were found. The second discovery is the existence of a new polymorph of carbon - the C60. The microscopic analysis of all physical, chemical and biological properties of the buckyballs is based on 1ahn-Teller type of interactions. The third is colossal magnetoresistance.
