Though optics is a fairly specialized branch of physics, this book extracts from the discipline topics that are particularly interesting, mysterious, culturally relevant, or accessible. The essays all first appeared, in abbreviated form, in Optics and Photonics News and in The Spectrograph; the author has updated and expanded upon each of themfor this book. The book is divided into three thematic sections: History, Weird Science, and Pop Culture. Chapters will discuss surprising uses of optics in classics and early astronomy; explain why we think of the sun as yellow when it is actually white; present how the laser is used in popular film; and profile the eccentric scientistswho contributed to optics. The essays are short and entertaining, and can be read in any order. The book should appeal to general audiences interested in optics or physics more generally, as well as members of the scientific community who are curious about optics phenomena. 606 $aOptics 606 $aOptics$xHistory 606 $aOptics$vBiography 606 $aOptics$xSocial aspects$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aOptics$xHistory. 615 0$aOptics 615 0$aOptics$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a621.36 700 $aWilk$b Stephen R$0176607 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453326303321 996 $aHow the ray gun got its zap$92191289 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01579nam 2200445I 450 001 9910702660503321 005 20141211092626.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002429583 035 $a(OCoLC)898029685 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002429583 100 $a20141211j201404 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe evolving role of the power sector regulator $ea clean energy regulators initiative report /$fOwen Zinaman, Mackay Miller, Morgan Bazilian 210 1$aGolden, CO :$cNational Renewable Energy Laboratory,$dApril 2014. 215 $a1 online resource (iii, 14 pages) $ccolor illustrations 225 1 $aNREL/TP ;$v6A20-61570 300 $a"April 2014." 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Dec. 3, 2014). 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 9-14). 517 $aEvolving role of the power sector regulator 606 $aPower resources$xRegulation 606 $aElectric power systems$xRegulation 606 $aClean energy industries 615 0$aPower resources$xRegulation. 615 0$aElectric power systems$xRegulation. 615 0$aClean energy industries. 700 $aZinaman$b Owen$01386901 702 $aMiller$b Mackay 702 $aBazilian$b Morgan 712 02$aNational Renewable Energy Laboratory (U.S.), 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910702660503321 996 $aThe evolving role of the power sector regulator$93509404 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02860oam 2200481 450 001 9910808640303321 005 20170523091602.0 010 $a1-4522-7169-0 010 $a1-4522-1493-X 035 $a(OCoLC)865545022 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6RIF 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000056668 100 $a20100426d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHigh-five teaching, K-5 $eusing green light strategies to create dynamic, student-focused classrooms /$fRich Allen, Cindy Rickert 210 1$aThousand Oaks, Calif. :$cCorwin Press,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (xiv, 193 pages) $cillustrations 225 0 $aGale eBooks 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4129-8112-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Cover""; ""Contents""; ""Preface""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""About the Authors""; ""Introduction""; ""Chapter 1 - True Learning Communities: Students Taking Responsibility""; ""Chapter 2 - Optimum Learning Conditions: Creating Safety and Security""; ""Chapter 3 - Teaching to the Moment: Working Within Their World""; ""Chapter 4 - Learning Beyond Listening: Linking Action and Understanding""; ""Chapter 5 - The Learning Spiral: Building Success on Success""; ""Chapter 6 - Five-by-Five: Setting the Stage for Student Success"" 327 $a""Chapter 7 - High-Five Lesson Sets: Combining Green Light Strategies and High-Five Principles Into Dynamic Lessons""""Chapter 8 - The High-Five Toolkit""; ""Chapter 9 - A Final Note""; ""Endnotes""; ""References""; ""Index"" 330 $a Transform your classroom into a dynamic learning environment for all students!
