J'onn J'onzz, Martian Manhunter era l'ultimo della sua specie- fino ad ora. Quando J'onn scopre un gruppo di marziani verdi sopravvissuti, prigionieri e sottoposti a una serie di esperimenti da un'oscura ed enigmatica agenzia del governo degli Stati Uniti, comincia a mettere in dubbio tutto quello che pensava e credeva. J'onn si lancia in una disperata ricerca per scoprire tutto quello che può sui suoi fratelli marziani. Perché venivano tenuti prigionieri, e quale misterioso predatore continua a minacciare i sopravvissuti di Marte? La sua ricerca della verità lo farà entrare in conflitto con quella specie umana che aveva giurato di proteggere e con tutte le amicizie strette su questo pianeta... compresa la Lega della Giustizia d'America, l'unica famiglia che gli è rimasta. Lo sceneggiatore A.J. Lieberman (Batman: il ritorno di Hush) e gli artisti Al Barrionuevo e Bit (Giovani Titani) si uniscono per raccontarci questa nuova storia che ci farà ricredere su quello che sapevamo di J'onn J'onzz, Martian Manhunter.

As Gotham's underworld figures meet for a summit, Batman, along with Batgirl, Nightwing, Orpheus, Onyx, and Tarantula, try to keep order.

A Thorough Update of the Industry Classic on Principles of Plasma Processing

The first edition of Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing, published over a decade ago, was lauded for its complete treatment of both basic plasma physics and industrial plasma processing, quickly becoming the primary reference for students and professionals.

The Second Edition has been carefully updated and revised to reflect recent developments in the field and to further clarify the presentation of basic principles. Along with in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of plasma physics and chemistry, the authors apply basic theory to plasma discharges, including calculations of plasma parameters and the scaling of plasma parameters with control parameters.

New and expanded topics include:
* Updated cross sections
* Diffusion and diffusion solutions
* Generalized Bohm criteria
* Expanded treatment of dc sheaths
* Langmuir probes in time-varying fields
* Electronegative discharges
* Pulsed power discharges
* Dual frequency discharges
* High-density rf sheaths and ion energy distributions
* Hysteresis and instabilities
* Helicon discharges
* Hollow cathode discharges
* Ionized physical vapor deposition
* Differential substrate charging

With new chapters on dusty plasmas and the kinetic theory of discharges, graduate students and researchers in the field of plasma processing should find this new edition more valuable than ever.

Text-reference for physical scientists and engineers as well as advanced graduate students treats chaotic motion in nonlinear dynamical systems. The main emphasis of the first edition of 1983 (titled Regular and stochastic motion ) was on intrinsic stochasticity in Hamiltonian systems. This has been broadened to include a thorough introduction to chaotic motion in dissipative systems in the final two chapters. The treatment emphasizes physical insight rather than mathematical rigor. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
