This third volume of the handbook series deals with accelerator physics, design, technology and operations, as well as with beam optics, dynamics and diagnostics. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the “Particle Physics Reference Library” provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A,B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access.

Yeats's Book of the Nineties is essentially a study of the major works Yeats produced at the height of that literary period known as «the Decadence»: his collection of short fiction, The Secret Rose ; his 1899 volume of poetry, The Wind Among the Reeds; and the essay collection he titled Ideas of Good and Evil . But this is not a «literary» examination, per se ; nor does it accept the traditional portrayal of the young Yeats as consummate aesthete. Instead, it argues for a reading of Yeats's work in the context of his early efforts in journalism and his complex two-fold interest in Irish nationalism and occult spirituality. At this particular site, Myers suggests, matters of aesthetics and politics merge in what Yeats saw as a «new propaganda» for the political and cultural liberation of Ireland.
