These tubes and their variations, have, at different times been the \"eyes\" of the television system almost from its inception in 1939. It was natural, during the course of this work, to have a parallel interest in the human visual system as well as in the silver halide photographic process. The problem facing the television system was the same as that facing the human visual and the photographic systems, namely, to abstract the maximum amount of information out of a limited quantity oflight. The human eye and photographic film both repre­ sented advanced states of development and both surpassed, in their performance, the early efforts on television camera tubes. It was particularly true and \"plain to see\" that each improvement and refinement of the television camera only served to accentuate the remarkable design of the human eye. A succession of radical advances in camera-tube sensitivity found the eye still operating at levels of illumination too low for the television camera tube. It is only recently that the television camera tube has finally matched and even somewhat exceeded the performance of the human eye at low light levels. It was also clear throughout the work on television camera tubes that the final goal of any visual system-biological, chemical, or electronic-was the ability to detect or count individual photons.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51028106051857,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028109328657,"sku":"NIN9781468420395","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52344162910481,"sku":"NLS9781468420395","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1468420399.jpg?v=1750714710"},{"product_id":"electron-phonon-interactions-a-novel-semiclassified-approach-book-albert-rose-9789971506353","title":"Electron Phonon Interactions: A Novel Semiclassified Approach","description":"This monograph is a radical departure from the conventional quantum mechanical approach to electron-phonon interactions. It translates the customary quantum mechanical analysis of the electron-phonon interactions carried out in Fourier space into a predominantly classical analysis carried out in real space. Various electron-phonon interactions such as the polar and nonpolar optical phonons, acoustic phonons that interact via deformation potential and via the piezoelectric effect and phonons in metals, are treated in this monograph by a single, relatively simple classical model. This model is shown to apply to electron interactions with the deep lying X-ray levels of atoms, with plasmons and with Cerenkov radiation. The unifying concept that applies to all of these phenomena is a new definition of a coupling constant. The essentially classical interaction of an electron with its surrounding is clearly brought out to be the cause of spontaneous emission of phonons. The same concept also applies to the case of spontaneous emission of photons. While the bulk of this monograph deals with quanta of phonons and quanta of photons, a discussion of the acousto electric effect which is a purely classical phenomenon is presented. The newly defined coupling constant turns out to be valid too for this discussion. This universality of the coupling constant goes far beyond. It is equally applicable to amorphous materials. This significant application gives an analytic formulation of mobility in amorphous materials.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52453154816273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52453155504401,"sku":"NLS9789971506353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789971506353.jpg?v=1759366987"},{"product_id":"regent-park-book-albert-rose-9781487573553","title":"Regent Park","description":"\u003cp\u003eRegent Park stands as Canada's first extensive experiment in slum-clearance and urban re-development. On January 1, 1947, those eligible to cast a ballot on money by-laws voted to have the City of Toronto and undertake a low-rental housing project. Within 42.5 acres, comprising six blocks bounded by Parliament, Gerrard, River, and Dundas Streets, new houses and apartments were to be erected and leased at rents relative to the incomes of the tenant families. The written record of this experience is given here for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow a concerned group of citizens banded together to press the city council into action; how the entire project was financed, and then administered; who had resided in the slum, and who were rehoused; what happened to the health, family welfare, social relationships, recreation, and education of the inhabitants of the new Regent Park, are all described in clear, simple prose, free of jargon. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMore than ten years of study of the problem of slum clearance in Toronto, plus participation in the planning and execution of the Regent Park project, provided the author with an exceptional opportunity to know thoroughly the materials of his study. What he learned and recorded from his experience is essentially what everyone in North America who is concerned with the social and governmental aspects of public housing wants to learn. The history, the development, and managerial experience of the project are thoroughly examined. The human aspects of this pioneering endeavour are drawn from both the social matrix of Toronto out of which the project originated, and the society within the project itself. The book is a record of social and administrative significance that will be widely studied as a case history of public housing on the North American continent. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186938863889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186939322641,"sku":"NIN9781487573553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781487573553.jpg?v=1772386702"},{"product_id":"governing-metropolitan-toronto-book-albert-rose-9780520307919","title":"Governing Metropolitan Toronto","description":"Governing Metropolitan Toronto: A Social and Political Analysis (1953–1971) provides an in-depth examination of Toronto’s metropolitan governance, lauded as a model of \"truly metropolitan government\" in North America. Over nearly two decades, Toronto restructured its local government twice, adopting a two-tier federation model to address the challenges of urbanization, suburban expansion, and regional cooperation. This system, integrating multiple jurisdictions under a central framework, sought to resolve disparities in infrastructure, housing, and municipal services while accommodating the province’s broader economic and environmental goals. Albert Rose, a scholar and civic participant, contextualizes Metro Toronto within Canadian and global urban governance traditions, offering insights into its achievements and the challenges posed by evolving social, environmental, and political dynamics.   Rose argues that Toronto's experience demonstrates how metropolitan governance must grow from addressing physical infrastructure to managing complex social issues such as housing and environmental quality. While the provincial government provided oversight and enabled Metro’s creation, its involvement underscores the role of higher-level authorities in urban governance. The study situates Toronto's system alongside other Canadian and international models, including Winnipeg’s uni-city approach and Minnesota’s Metropolitan Council, suggesting that Toronto's adaptable federation structure may be better suited for larger, more complex urban regions. Rose’s work highlights the ongoing interplay between local autonomy and provincial guidance, offering critical lessons for urban governance worldwide and serving as a valuable resource in understanding the transformative potential of metropolitan systems.
