It explores how Conservative Party activists who had opposed devolution and the movement for a Scottish Parliament during the 1990's attempted to mobilise politically following their annihilation at the 1997 General Election. 410 0$aNew ethnographies. 606 $aDecentralization in government$zScotland 607 $aScotland$xPolitics and government$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDecentralization in government 676 $a320.9411 700 $aSmith$b Alexander Thomas T$g(Alexander Thomas Telford)$01038116 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465179303321 996 $aDevolution and the Scottish Conservatives$92459488 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05146oam 2200589 450 001 9910814426403321 005 20190911112728.0 010 $a981-4417-64-5 035 $a(OCoLC)856447075 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL8RHB 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001107668 100 $a20130927h20132013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$a40 years of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless theory /$feditor, Jorge V.

Giamarchi 330 $aOn the 40th anniversary of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Theory (BKT), this informative volume looks back at some of the developments and achievements and varied physics applications which ensued from the beautiful BKT vortex-unbinding seminal idea.During the last four decades, BKT theory, which is undeniably one of the most important developments in condensed matter and theoretical physics of the second half of the twentieth century, has expanded widely. It has been used and extended from many different theoretical and experimental perspectives. New and unexpected features have been unc 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aSolid state physics 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aStatistical physics 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aSolid state physics. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 676 $a530.41 686 $a33.26$2bcl 686 $a33.74$2bcl 702 $aJose$b Jorge V. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814426403321 996 $a40 years of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless theory$94099500 997 $aUNINA
