The Kinetic Theory of a Dilute Ionized Plasma
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99Results from the studies aimed at answering questions raised by astrophysicists who use values of transport coefficients that are old and often unsatisfactory. This title includes a systematic study of various possible cross effects and the famous H-theorem. It is of interest to the plasma physics community and to astrophysicists. more...
Scientific Autobiography of V. L. Ginzburg
Springer 2008; US$ 54.99Presents the Nobel Laureate Vitaly Ginzburg's views on the development in the field of superconductivity. This book contains a selection of Ginzburg's key writings, including his amended version of the Nobel lecture in Physics 2003. more...
Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions
Springer 2008; US$ 109.99Describes two main classes of non-equilibrium phase-transitions: static and dynamics of transitions into an absorbing state, and dynamical scaling in far-from-equilibrium relaxation behaviour and ageing. more...
Numerical Methods in Multidimensional Radiative Transfer
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99Offers an overview of the numerical modelling of radiation fields in multidimensional geometries. This book covers advances and problems in the mathematical treatment of the radiative transfer equation, a partial integro-differential equation of high dimension that describes the propagation of the radiation in various fields. more...
Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases
Oxford University Press, UK 2004; US$ 48.99This is the first introductory text in the rapidly growing field of granular gases. In contrast to molecular gases (for example, air), the particles of granular gases, such as a cloud of dust, lose part of their kinetic energy when they collide, giving rise to many exciting physical properties. The book provides a self-contained introduction to the... more...

Statistical Mechanics
Oxford University Press, UK 2006; US$ 64.99Sethna's book distills the core ideas of statistical mechanics to make room for new advances important to information theory, complexity, and modern biology. Aimed at advanced undergraduates and early graduate students, Sethna's text explores everything from chaos through information theory to life at the end of the universe. - ;In each generation,... more...
Hamiltonian Chaos and Fractional Dynamics
Oxford University Press, UK 2004; US$ 64.99This books gives a realistic contemporary image of Hamiltonian dynamics, dealing with the basic principles of the Hamiltonian theory of chaos in addition to very recent and unusual applications of nonlinear dynamics and the fractality of dynamics. - ;The dynamics of realistic Hamiltonian systems has unusual microscopic features that are direct consequences... more...
