1,550 words1. 1 PRELUDE: The phenomenon of ferromagnetism is associated only with the solid state of matter; like iron, nickel, cobalt and some rare earth metals and their alloys. Thus, up to now, there is no intrinsic homogeneous fluid having ferromagnetic properties; although, theories admit the possibility of ferromagnetism in the liquid state, and suggest that there is no inherent reason why they should not exist [ 1 - 3, 5 ]. Ferromagnetism occurs when paramagnetic ions in a solid lock together in suc...

Life In Death Van Der
1,570 wordsNew York Society, in Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence (1920), is paradoxically immortal and mortal. Like the Olympic pantheon of mythological Greek antiquity, New York Society cavorts and carouses, bickers and condemns while it feasts on ambrosia and canvas-backs. Newland Archer's sister is the gossipy Cassandra; his wife is the huntress Diana. And he, by all instances of the society around him, should be Diana's archer twin: Apollo.

19 Th Century Age Of Innocence
3,243 wordsEdith Wharton's books are considered, by some, merely popular fiction of her time. But we must be careful not to equate popularity with the value of the fiction; i. e. , we must not assume that if her books are popular, they are also primitive. Compared to the works of her contemporary and friend, Henry James, whose books may seem complex and sometimes bewildering; Wharton's The Age of Innocence appears to be a simplistic, gossipy commentary of New York society during the last decade of the 19 t...
