Underwater Acoustic Modelling and Simulationby Paul. C Etter
Spon Press 2003; US$ 300.00Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation examines the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical models that can simulate acoustic propagation, noise and reverberation in the ocean. These models are used more...
Magnetohydrodynamics and the Earth's Coreby Andrew M. Soward
CRC Press 2002; US$ 99.95This volume comprises of papers which were presented at the Paul Roberts' Anniversary meeting at the University of Exeter aand reflect his research contributions which are remarkable in their diversity, depth of contents and international importance. The volume is presented in the following sections covering geomagnetism and dynamos; fluid mechanics and MHD; superfluidity; mixed phase regions. There is a commentary of the papers putting the work of Paul Roberts into historical context and this volume provides a valuable source of reference for graduates and researchers working in this area of geoscience. more...

Physics Over Easyby L V Azaroff
World Scientific 1996; US$ 36.40In easy-to-follow conversational language, this book reveals the mysteries of physics and tells about the physicists who made it possible, from the discovery of the laws of gravity by Isaac Newton and the construction of the first electric battery by Alessandro Volta, to the present century's development of solid-state electronics, nuclear arms and nuclear reactors, lasers, etc. The evolution of physics during four centuries is related in sixteen conversations that actually took place between the author, a professor of physics, and his wife, an intelligent listener not familiar with the subject. By asking questions and interjecting her own observations, she insists on sufficient clarity in the presentation so as to make the somewhat difficult... more...
Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulenceby Dieter Biskamp
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 51.00This book presents an introduction to, and state-of-the-art account of, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Applications to three topics from astrophysics are considered: the solar wind, accretion disks, and the interstellar medium. Suitable for graduate students and researchers working in turbulence theory, plasma physics and astrophysics. more...
