Fields Of Iron

“Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife, so that I may accompany you to San Francisco de Asis and help you stop this war?” Gloria Meriwether-Astor, determined to end the invasion her father and a power-hungry diplomat started, has found safety with the witches of the river canyons in the steampunk Wild West. But how can one young lady without so much as a hat to her name challenge a kingdom? Confronted with the solution—marriage—she has two choices: accept the help she needs, or return to Philadelphia alone and a failure. So, in the company of riverboat captain Stan Fremont—the dashing rogue she must now call husband—she sets off for the capital to negotiate with the Viceroy. But with an entire country mobilizing for war, the attempt could mean her life—and the life of the one person she is beginning to care for … “It’s another excellent chapter in this ongoing epic adventure of this series. I love this world and the story of these excellent women and the saga will never end. No. It will not.” —Fangs for the Fantasy, on Fields of Iron Fields of Iron is the eleventh novel in the Magnificent Devices steampunk series. While Books 9-12 can be read separately, they are best enjoyed as a quartet. No strong language, just a very proper kiss or two and a satisfying solution. If you like books by Gail Carriger, Lindsay Buroker, or Emma Jane Holloway, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!

Measurements of the temperature dependency of firstand second-order anisotropy fields, as well as g-factors, have been made on single crystal iron garnets of yttrium, lutetium, gallium-yttrium, and indium-yttrium. Unit formulas are denoted by Y3Fe5O12, Lu3Fe5O12, YeFe(5-z) Ga(z)O12, and Y3Fe(5-z)InzO12, respectively. Results show that at any given temperature, first-order anisotropy fields within the yttrium iron garnet are enhanced by the substitution of gallium and diminished by the substitution of indium, and that for any given sample, these fields increase as temperature is lowered. Low temperature anisotropy fields for lutetium iron garnet, while completely at variance with those previously reported, are as expected. However, the anisotropy surface of lutetium iron garnet is highly convoluted at liquid helium temperatures. Also, there is evidence that anisotropy fields are independent of sample size effects. No experimental evidence of effects due to an external electrostatic field or of thermal hysteresis could be detected. Secondary peaks observed superimposed on the principal resonance absorption curve of some of the samples over many temperatures are noted. Derivations are given of the cubic system anisotropy energy and Kittel's 'effective demagnetization factors' in the (110) plane up to third order. (Author).

This book explores the use of waves on strings and sound waves to illustrate the behaviour of waves. It shows how Albert Einstein overturned Newtonian physics and predicted startling new effects such as time dilation and length contraction for objects travelling at close to the speed of light.
