Frontiers in Optics 2010/Laser Science XXVI
Frontiers in Optics 2010/Laser Science XXVI FiO/LS 2010 wrapped up in Rochester after a week of cutting- edge optics and photonics research presentations, powerful networking opportunities, quality educational programming and an exhibit hall featuring leading companies in the field. Headlining the popular Plenary Session and Awards Ceremony were Alain Aspect, speaking on quantum optics; Steven Block, who discussed single molecule biophysics; and award winners Joseph Eberly, Henry Kapteyn and Margaret Murnane. Led by general co-chairs Karl Koch of Corning Inc. and Lukas Novotny of the University of Rochester, FiO/LS 2010 showcased the highest quality optics and photonics research—in many cases merging multiple disciplines, including chemistry, biology, quantum mechanics and materials science, to name a few. This year, highlighted research included using LEDs to treat skin cancer, examining energy trends of communications equipment, quantum encryption over longer distances, and improvements to biological and chemical sensors. Select recorded sessions are now available to all OSA members. Members should log in and go to “Recorded Programs” to view available presentations. FiO 2010 also drew together leading laser scientists for one final celebration of LaserFest – the 50th anniversary of the first laser. In honor of the anniversary, the conference’s Industrial Physics Forum brought together speakers to discuss Applications in Laser Technology in areas like biomedicine, environmental technology and metrology. Other special events included the Arthur Ashkin Symposium, commemorating Ashkin's contributions to the understanding and use of light pressure forces on the 40th anniversary of his seminal paper “Acceleration and trapping of particles by radiation pressure,” and the Symposium on Optical Communications, where speakers reviewed the history and physics of optical fiber communication systems, in honor of 2009 Nobel Prize Winner and “Father of Fiber Optics” Charles Kao. -

FOREWORD The creation of the National Library of Australia's major Asian Collection in the years following World War 11 is one of the success stories of Australia's engagement with the Asia-Pacific region. From the 1950s, the Library has built major research collections on East Asia and South-East Asia, and we also have significant holdings on other countries of the region, such as India. Today, the National Library houses the largest developing research resource on Asia in Australia, with holdings of over half a million volumes. Xanadu: Encounters with China is a very special exhibition for the National Library of Australia, drawing as it does on the Library's maps, pictures, rare books and, most notably, its Asian material. -

Daoism in the Twentieth Century: Between Eternity and Modernity
UC Berkeley GAIA Books Title Daoism in the Twentieth Century: Between Eternity and Modernity Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/13w4k8d4 Authors Palmer, David A. Liu, Xun Publication Date 2012-02-15 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Daoism in the Twentieth Century Between Eternity and Modernity Edited by David A. Palmer and Xun Liu Published in association with the University of California Press “This pioneering work not only explores the ways in which Daoism was able to adapt and reinvent itself during China’s modern era, but sheds new light on how Daoism helped structure the development of Chinese religious culture. The authors also demon- strate Daoism’s role as a world religion, particularly in terms of emigration and identity. The book’s sophisticated approach transcends previous debates over how to define the term ‘Daoism,’ and should help inspire a new wave of research on Chinese religious movements.” PAUL R. KATZ, Academia Sinica, Taiwan In Daoism in the Twentieth Century an interdisciplinary group of scholars ex- plores the social history and anthropology of Daoism from the late nineteenth century to the present, focusing on the evolution of traditional forms of practice and community, as well as modern reforms and reinventions both within China and on the global stage. Essays investigate ritual specialists, body cultivation and meditation traditions, monasticism, new religious movements, state-spon- sored institutionalization, and transnational networks. DAVID A. PALMER is a professor of sociology at Hong Kong University.
