From 1869 - 1942, over 70 years, Augusta, Maine was America's mail - order magazine publishing capital with some seventeen titles published there and circulation at its height reaching an estimated three million copies. Magazines were mailed to subscribers nation - wide, and the sheer volume of sales led to the opening of a new post office in January, 1890. The major publications targeted women, particularly women in rural areas, but some also included articles and stories of interest to men and children. Farm and literary magazines were other types published in Augusta. The primary focus for the majority of the magazines was family and home life, and content included down - home advice on family life, decorating, business (raising chickens, for example), personal care, health, fashion, and the latest trends. Reading material included poetry, romantic fiction, short stories, and editorials, but most prominently the magazines offered opportunity (and encouragement) for women to buy the various and sundry items advertised. Contests and competitions were part of the allure, and subscription rates were very cheap (and often not even collected) as the magazines were supported well by the advertisements. The major publishers, E. C. Allen, P. O. Vickery and John F. Hill (who later became Governor of Maine), and William H. Gannett all became very wealthy. Publications included Good Stories, Happy Hours, Hearth and Home, American Woman, Needlecraft, and Farm World, all by Vickery - Hill Publishing Company, Comfort, by Gannett, which was the most successful of the magazines, Fireside Magazine, Peoples Illustrated Journal, the Illustrated Family Herald, Thrifty Farmer, Farming World, National Farmer, Golden Moments, Sunshine, Daughters Of America, and Practical Housekeeper, all by Allen, and later Gannett who took over Allen's publications in 1891. Some of the magazines including the present number were oversized, newpaper - style, and printed in quadruple columns, on cheap paper that did not hold up over time and use, thus, copies are relatively scarce, especially the early issues. Worldcat / OCLC locates only 5 repositories. See Zuckerman, A History Of Popular Women's Magazines In The United States, 1792 - 1995.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a groundbreaking solution to the problem of solitary waves in a warm plasma, a topic previously studied assuming the plasma to be cold. The author, an expert in plasma physics, derives a differential equation for the asymptotic shape of the wave, considering the effects of temperature and pressure. The resulting solution reveals that the width of the wave is larger in a warm plasma than in a cold plasma, with the factor of the increase being inversely proportional to the ratio of material pressure to magnetic pressure. This finding has significant implications for the study of weak, collision-free plasma shocks, particularly in contexts where the electron sound speed is small compared to the Alfven speed in the undisturbed plasma. The book's insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the behavior of solitary waves in warm plasmas and provide a valuable resource for researchers in plasma physics and related fields.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a specific case of diffraction, the scattering of a wave due to an obstacle, concerning hydromagnetic waves, a type of electromagnetic wave that combines magnetic and pressure forces. The author adapts the conical field method, previously used to solve problems in supersonic flow, to the equations governing hydromagnetic waves. Through the application of this method, this book presents a detailed derivation and examination of the reflected and diffracted waves resulting from an incident hydromagnetic wave impinging upon a half-plane obstacle. The book's in-depth mathematical treatment and analysis elucidate a unique feature of hydromagnetic waves: their ability to reflect on the 'wrong' side of an obstacle. This phenomenon, along with the exploration of the wave's development towards a steady state, contributes to the book's significance in the field of hydromagnetics.
