Quantum Spin and Representations of the Poincar矇 Group, Part I
This book discusses how relativistic quantum field theories must transform under strongly continuous unitary representations of the Poincar矇 group. The focus is on the construction of the representations that provide the basis for the formulation of current relativistic quantum field theories of scalar fields, the Dirac field, and the electromagnetic field. Such construction is tied to the use of the methods of operator theory that also provide the basis for the formulation of quantum mechanics, up to the interpretation of the measurement process. In addition, since representation spaces of primary interest in quantum theory are infinite dimensional, the use of these methods is essential. Consequently, the book also calculates the generators of relevant strongly continuous one-parameter groups that are associated with the representations and, where appropriate, the corresponding spectrum. Part I of Quantum Spin and Representations of the Poincar矇 Group specifically addresses: conventions; basic properties of SO(2) and SO(3); construction of a double cover of SO(3); SU(2) spinors; continuous unitary representation of SU(2); basic properties of the Lorentz Group; unitary representation of the restricted Lorentz Group; an extension to a strongly continuous representation of the restricted Poincar矇 Group; and an extension to a unitary/anti-unitary representation of the Poincar矇 Group.

Contested Airwaves
Controversial American-led radio initiatives sparked a kaleidoscope of conflicts and rivalries from the medium's earliest days through the end of World War II. Michael A. Krysko explores how the medium engaged the knowledge, assumptions, and prejudices that fueled listeners' and policymakers' objections to foreign and unwelcome radio content. Krysko considers Americans' antagonism toward non-English language broadcasting; issues of identity, geography, and sovereignty that propelled opposition to Mexico's "border blaster" stations; how a project aimed at helping Cajun-speaking listeners became a French-only celebration of Acadian culture; a failed initiative to teach English to Latin Americans via shortwave broadcasting; enduring US-Panamanian conflicts over the control of radio in and around the Panama Canal; and how farmers from across the Southwest protested a radio treaty's perceived preferential treatment of Cuba. Paying particular attention to the act of listening, Krysko shows how these initiatives illuminated and solidified divisions rooted in identity, nationalism, and prejudice. Clear and wide-ranging, Contested Airwaves reveals early radio's place at the nexus of public programming, transnational relations, and its own evolution as a communication medium.
