The New Cosmic Onionby Frank Close
CRC Press 2006; US$ 39.95Not since Newton's apple has there been a physics phenomenon as deliciously appealing to the masses as Frank Close's Cosmic Onion. Widely embraced by scientists and laypersons alike, the book quickly became an international bestseller, has been translated into seven languages, and propelled the author to become a recognized popular science celebrity around the world. Much has changed since the original publication in 1983, and The New Cosmic Onion was extensively revised and updated to reflect our new view of the universe. Keeping the best contents from the previous work, this new edition includes extensive new material explaining the scientific challenges at the start of this century. more...

Vibrational Spectroscopy With Neutronsby Philip C. H. Mitchell; Stewart F Parker; Anibal J. Ramirez-Cuesta; John Tomkinson
World Scientific 2005; US$ 127.40Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is a spectroscopic technique in which neutrons are used to probe the dynamics of atoms and molecules in solids and liquids. This book is the first, since the late 1960s, to cover the principles and applications of INS as a vibrational-spectroscopic technique. It provides a hands-on account of the use of INS, concentrating on how neutron vibrational spectroscopy can be employed to obtain chemical information on a range of materials that are of interest to chemists, biologists, materials scientists, surface scientists and catalyst researchers. This is an accessible and comprehensive single-volume primary text and reference source. more...
Fractional Statistics And Quantum Theoryby Avinash Khare
World Scientific 2005; US$ 71.50This book explains the subtleties of quantum statistical mechanics in lower dimensions and their possible ramifications in quantum theory. The discussion is at a pedagogical level and is addressed to both graduate students and advanced researchers with a reasonable background in quantum and statistical mechanics. Topics in the first part of the book include the flux tube model of anyons, the braid group and a detailed discussion about the various aspects of quantum and statistical mechanics of a noninteracting anyon gas. The second part of the book includes a detailed discussion about fractional statistics from the point of view of Chern?Simons theories. Topics covered here include Chern?Simons field theories, charged vortices, anyon... more...
