Paper 1: A survey was conducted to collect and disseminate information concerning the organization, equipment, policies and practices employed by the various states in performing subsurface investigations for the design and construction of highways. Paper 2: Color aerial photographs are helpful to the geologist and soils engineers in mapping a part of the Atlantic coastal plain in New Jersey. Paper 3: Discusses the development of muskeg research studies in Alberta, with particular reference to vane shear testing. Paper 4: A report is presented of a cooperative research program carried out in 1958 and 1959 by the National Research Council, Canada, and the Ontario Department of Highways to study the performance of some existing roads over muskeg in northern Ontario.

The Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) is the oldest and still active exploration society of the Levant. Since 1865 PEF scholars have conducted significant, systematic exploration of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Marking its 150th anniversary, this volume provides a retrospective on the PEF's work in the light of contemporary archaeological research.

Authored by an acclaimed teacher of quantum physics and philosophy, this textbook pays special attention to the aspects that many courses sweep under the carpet. Traditional courses in quantum mechanics teach students how to use the quantum formalism to make calculations. But even the best students - indeed, especially the best students - emerge rather confused about what, exactly, the theory says is going on, physically, in microscopic systems. This supplementary textbook is designed to help such students understand that they are not alone in their confusions (luminaries such as Albert Einstein, Erwin Schroedinger, and John Stewart Bell having shared them), to sharpen their understanding of the most important difficulties associated with interpreting quantum theory in a realistic manner, and to introduce them to the most promising attempts to formulate the theory in a way that is physically clear and coherent. The text is accessible to students with at least one semester of prior exposure to quantum (or "modern") physics and includes over a hundred engaging end-of-chapter "Projects" that make the book suitable for either a traditional classroom or for self-study.
