In 1948 William Bradford Shockley (1910-1989), who is considered the inventor of the transistor, and his associates at Bell Research Laboratories, Walter Houser Brattain (1902-1987) and John Bardeen (1908-1991), discovered that a crystal of germanium could act as a semiconductor of electricity. This unique property of germanium indicated to them that it could be used as both a rectifier and an amplifier to replace the old glass vacuum tubes in radios. Their friend John Robinson Pierce (1910-2002) gave this new solid-state device the name transistor, since the device had to overcome some resistance when a current of electricity passed through it. Shockley, Brattain, and Bardeen all shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics. 

Conway Pierce, coauthor of the first four editions of the book and coauthor of the first four editions ofQuantitative Analysis, published by John Wiley Sons, died December 23, 1974, Professor Pierce was a valued friend, a stimulating teacher, and an original researcher whose contributions to chemistry and chemical education spanned more than fifty years. I hope that this edition of the book reflects the everchanging outlook of general chemistry while retaining the simple, direct, and clear expression for which Conway Pierce was noted.

And what of the spear that pierced the Master s side so deeply that forthwith came there out blood and water John xix. 34 Traditions are unanimous that the spear-head was made of iron, but very different tales are told of its subsequent history. According to one story the spear-head was carefully preserved after the crucifixion and was ultimately blended into the huge sword Joyeuse of Charlemagne (742 to 814).

Rib fractures comprise 5%-27% (Akbarnia et al. 1974 Barrett and Kozlowski 1979 Herndon 1983) of all fractures in abused children and are probably even more common than published figures suggest because of the difficulty in demonstrating them radiologically in the acute situation prior to the appearance of callus. Any part of the rib may be affected, and fractures are frequently bilateral and multiple, although 20% of rib fractures are solitary (Carty and Pierce 2002) (Fig. 11.6). Rib fractures in infancy are unusual because normal ribs are so pliable. Considerable force is required to produce them and even in children who undergo cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 99.5% do not develop rib fractures (Feldman and Brewer 1984 John et al. 2005). Posterior rib fractures do not occur as a result of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Thomas (1977), in a review of over 10,000 chest X-rays of infants...
