Quantum Physics Without Quantum Philosophy
Springer 2012; US$ 119.99It has often been claimed that without drastic conceptual innovations a genuine explanation of quantum interference effects and quantum randomness is impossible. This book concerns Bohmian mechanics, a simple particle theory that is a counterexample to such claims. The gentle introduction and other contributions collected here show how the phenomena... more...
BLACK HOLES, COSMOLOGY AND EXTRA DIMENSIONS
World Scientific Publishing Company 2012; US$ 163.00Assuming foundational knowledge of special and general relativity, this book guides the reader on issues surrounding black holes, wormholes, cosmology, and extra dimensions. Its first part is devoted to local strong field configurations (black holes and wormholes) in general relativity and the most relevant of alternative theories: scalartensor,... more...
Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie
Springer 2012; US$ 39.99Dieses Buch gibt eine Einführung in die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie, also in Einsteins relativistische Theorie der Gravitation. Zu den behandelten Anwendungen der Theorie gehören Experimente im Sonnensystem, Gravitationswellen, Sterne und der Kosmos. Die Darstellung bewegt sich auf dem Niveau einer Kursvorlesung in Theoretischer Physik,... more...
Special Relativity
OUP Oxford 2005; US$ 16.99Special relativity provides the foundations of our knowledge of space and time. Without it, our understanding of the world, and its place in the universe, would be unthinkable. This book gives a concise, elementary, yet exceptionally modern, introduction to special relativity. It is a gentle yet serious 'first encounter', in that it conveys... more...
Lesebuch Mathematik für das erste Studienjahr
Springer 2013; US$ 19.95Dieses Buch ist eine Begleitlektüre zum ersten Jahr des Mathematikstudiums und darüber hinaus. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Motivation und Erläuterung der zentralen Begriffsbildungen anhand von Beispielen und exemplarischen Resultaten. Ausgehend von den elementarsten und historisch frühesten mathematischen Konzepten des Messens und Zählens... more...
The Special Theory of Relativity
Taylor and Francis 1996; US$ 35.95Based on his famous final year undergraduate lectures on theoretical physics at Birkbeck College, Bohm presents the theory of relativity as a unified whole, making clear the reasons which led to its adoption and explaining its basic meaning. With clarity and grace, he also reveals the limited truth of some of the "common sense" assumptions which make... more...
General Relativity
Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 64.00A clear, concise and modern textbook introducing the theory of general relativity for final-year undergraduate maths or physics students. The emphasis is on the geometric structure of spacetime rather than the traditional coordinate-dependent approach. Exercises are provided (with solutions and hints) and key ideas are illustrated with worked examples. more...
Special Relativity
Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 76.00A thorough and pedagogical introduction to special relativity suitable for anyone with a minimum of one year's university physics with calculus. It uses the most up to date formalism, and includes advanced topics such as higher dimensions, supersymmetry and string theory, making them accessible to the undergaduate physicist or engineer. more...
Secrets of the Old One
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 19.99Tells the story of Einstein's papers and their impact. While to a professional physicist the mathematics in these papers is quite straight forward, the ideas behind the mathematics are not. This book aims to make these ideas accessible to a general reader with no more mathematics than one learns in high school. more...
Modern Canonical Quantum General Relativity
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 74.00Canonical quantisation and loop quantum gravity theory for graduate students of quantum field theory. more...
