The author, who was working on this article at the time of his death, expresses his views on the energy crisis and the problems of environmental pollution associated with it. In his estimation, both problems are products of the population explosion. (Editor/JR)

Summarizes the issues involved in the supply of energy and the future of mankind. Argues that the problem should be approached as one world problem, not a series of national ones. (AL)

Discusses major themes of solar physics research and major discoveries of the last decade, focusing on solar cycle, stellar coronae and winds, magnetic explosions, and 100-AU-radius heliosphere. Includes conclusions/recommendations of the Solar Physics Working Group of the Astronomy Survey Committee, concerning observational/theoretical programs…

The Macey Center is a solar-heated theater built to combine the conference, drama, and fine arts facilities at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. (MLF)

Reviews information on solar radiation as an energy source. Discusses these topics: the key photovoltaic material; the bank theory of solids; conductors, semiconductors, and insulators; impurity semiconductors; solid-state photovoltaic cell operation; limitations on solar cell efficiency; silicon solar cells; cadmium sulfide/copper (I) sulfide…

After outlining the difficulties of teaching climatology within an undergraduate geography curriculum, the author describes and evaluates the use of a computer assisted simulation to model surface energy balance and the effects of land use changes on local climate. (AM)

Discusses and simplifies the theory behind Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). Describes applications to radiation chemistry. (CS)

Discusses reactivity of metal ions with the primary products of water radiolysis, hyper-reduced metal ions, zero-valent metal ions, unstable divalent ions from the reduction of bivalent ions, hyper-oxidized metal ions, and metal complexes. (CS)

Discusses the use of steady-state radiation chemistry and pulse radiolysis for the generation of initial free radicals and formation of peroxy radicals in the autoxidation process. Provides information regarding the autoxidation process. Defines autoxidation reactions and antioxidant action. (CS)

Expands the basic concepts regarding the radiation chemistry of simple aqueous systems to more complex, but well defined, organized assemblies. Discusses the differences in behavior in comparison to simple systems. Reviews these techniques: pulse radiolysis, laser flash, photolysis, and steady state irradiation by gamma rays or light. (CS)

Summarizes the technology of the field known as radiation processing, the term used to describe the large scale production or modification of materials by ionizing radiation. (CS)
