Summary
Summary
Antennas in Matterprovides both an introduction to and a comprehensive description of the properties of antennas and probes embedded within or near material bodies such as the earth, the ocean, or a living organism. The theory and application of antennas designed to transmit and receive information between points above the earth's surface are for the most part well understood. This book presents a full treatment of a sequence of research that has become increasingly important in recent years--the use of underground antennasfor communication with miners and subway trains and for the geophysical exploration of the earth's crust; underwater antennas; antennas embedded in or near living organismsfor biomedical and diagnostics in tissue and layered media with electromagnetic properties as diverse as those of fat, muscle, and bone. The book has been designed to serve a dual purpose: the first and third parts, covering fundamentals and measurements, form a self-contained introduction for undergraduates and researchers in geophysics and bioengineering; the second part provides a detailed presentation of the theory for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and physics. The approach integrates analytical, numerical, and experimental methods for the solution of a variety of problems involving antennas and electromagnetic wave propagation in or near matter.
Summary
First published in 1875 and read by more than eight million people, this nondenominational book has a 119-year history of healing and inspiration. To attract a new audience, this time-honored message of healing has a powerful new cover, easy-to-read page layout, and word index. Named one of 75 Books by Women Whose Words Have Changed the World.
Author Notes
Mary Baker Eddy was the discoverer of Christian Science and the founder of one of the most influential of American new religious movements, the Church of Christ, Scientist. Experiencing prolonged ill health after the birth of her first child, Eddy visited a "mind-cure" teacher, Phineas P. Quimby of Portland, Maine, in 1862; she obtained some relief and began to study Quimby's teachings extensively. Although ultimately her doctrine differed from Quimby's on key points, particularly the understanding of Scripture, this association was an important milestone in her development. In 1866, while reading the Bible, she perceived that evil and sickness are nonexistent in God's eyes and subsequently experienced complete healing from an injury resulting from a fall. Soon she was healing others as well in accordance with her newly discovered principle. The first edition of Eddy's major book, Science and Health, was published in 1875, and she founded the Church three years later. It was reorganized in 1892, and in the 1890s Eddy worked on the Church Manual that governs the denomination's life. Although Eddy and Christian Science were influential on the broader New Thought and "positive thinking" movements, her belief in the unreality of evil and the tight organization of her church remain unique.
