Product Description
William O. Field is recognized by many as the father of modern glaciology in North America. His life and work are the subject of this beautifully illustrated oral biography, which demonstrates both his major scientific contributions and his instinctive ability to visually capture history being made all around him.

Field’s major insight was that glaciers hold secrets to climate and environmental change. Thus, from 1926 until his death, he systematically documented changes in glaciers in stunning and scientifically informative photographs. He continued monitoring glacial change until his death, leaving a longitudinal record of immense value to glaciology and the study of climate change. Field discusses this scientific process amidst colorful tales of the people he traveled with and met on the way and of the history he witnessed.

C Suzanne Brown supplements the scientific, historical, and personal aspects of Bill’s oral biography with additional photographs, maps, references, and background information, creating a richly visual book. Simultaneously useful, beautiful, and engrossing, With A Camera in My Hands makes an important contribution to glaciology, geology, biography, the history of science, and the history of the North. ...

Reveals the fascinating story of his life
The late William O. Field was the pioneer of modern glaciology in North America. With the assistance of C. Suzanne Brown, With A Camera In My Hands reveals the fascinating story of his life and work in the form of a beautifully illustrated oral biography demonstrating his major scientific contributions and an exceptional ability to visually capture the "living history" of the subject of his studies. Before his death he discussed with Suzanne Brown his life adventures, laced with colorful tales of the people he met and they places he went, as well as his impressive accomplishments and contributions to the disciplines of glaciology and geology. Also available in a hardcover edition (1889963461, $59.95) With A Camera In My Hands is a superb biography and will hold immense interest for students of the history of science in general and the glacial history of the North American continent in particular. ...

Product Description
Following the tradition of the American Mathematical Society, the seventh colloquium of the Society was held as part of the summer meeting that took place at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison. Two sets of lectures were presented: On Invariants and the Theory of Numbers, by L. E. Dickson, and Functions of Several Complex Variables, by W. F. Osgood. Dickson considers invariants of quadratic forms, with a special emphasis on invariants of forms defined in characteristic $p$, also called modular invariants, which have number-theoretic consequences. He is able to find a fundamental set of invariants for both settings. For binary forms, Dickson introduces semi-invariants in the modular case, and again finds a fundamental set. These studies naturally lead to the important study of invariants of the standard action of the modular group. The lectures conclude with a study of ``modular geometry'', which is now known as geometry over $\mathbf{F}_p$. The lectures by Osgood review the state of the art of several complex variables. At this time, the theory was entirely function-theoretic. Already, though, Osgood can introduce the ideas and theorems that will be fundamental to the subject for the rest of the century: Weierstrass preparation, periodic functions and theta functions, singularities--including Hartogs' phenomenon, the boundary of a domain of holomorphy, and so on. ...
