Sommario/riassunto

La straordinaria metamorfosi del Giappone da un regime feudale isolato a una grande potenza industriale nel corso del diciannovesimo e all'inizio del ventesimo secolo ha a lungo affascinato e irritato gli storici. In questo studio, David L. Howell guarda oltre i cambiamenti istituzionali e tecnologici che seguirono la riapertura del Giappone all'Occidente per sondare le origini indigene del capitalismo giapponese.

Sommario/riassunto

This first book to focus on the important and topical effect of light on polymeric materials reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the topic, building a bridge between polymer chemistry and physics, photochemistry and photophysics, and materials science.Written by one experienced author, a consistent approach is maintained throughout, covering such applications as nonlinear optical materials, core materials for optical waveguides, photoresists in the production of computer chips, photoswitches and optical memories.Advanced reading for polymer, physical and organic chemists, manufact
