This book is a unique collection of experimental data in the field of internal friction, anelastic relaxation, and damping properties of metallic materials. It reviews virtually all anelastic relaxation phenomena ever published, and also most of the internal friction effects based on other types of dissipation of mechanical (elastic) energy. Furthermore, the reader is also supplied with explanations of the basic physical mechanisms of internal friction, a summary of typical effects for different groups of metals, and more than 2000 references to original papers.

This monograph was begun in 1902-3. Class I, Class II, Part I, and the self- conjugate groups of Class III, which contain all the groups with independent generators, formed the thesis which I presented to the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania in June, 1903, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The entire paper was rewritten and the other groups added while the author was Research Fellow in Mathematics at the University.

The Handbook begins with a chapter on basic concepts in Banach space theory which contains all the background needed for reading any other chapter in the Handbook. Each of the twenty one articles in this volume after the basic concepts chapter is devoted to one specific direction of Banach space theory or its applications. Each article contains a motivated introduction as well as an exposition of the main results, methods, and open problems in its specific direction.

This book explores medieval uses of the incest motif in a variety of literary genres, including romance, hagiography, and exempla. This study is the first survey of medieval incest stories in their cultural context.
