Non-linear Dynamics Near and Far from Equilibriumby J.K. Bhattacharjee; S. Bhattacharyya
Springer 2007; US$ 219.00Gives an account of various techniques that are used in the study of dynamics of continuous systems, near as well as far from equilibrium. This book provides the dynamic phenomena near a second order phase transition, phase ordering dynamics, dynamics of surface growth and turbulence. more...
The Motion Paradoxby Joseph Mazur
Penguin Group Inc. 2007; US$ 18.99The epic tale of an ancient, unsolved puzzle and how it relates to all scientific attempts to explain the basic structure of the universe At the dawn of science the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno formulated his paradox of motion, and amazingly, it is still on the cutting edge of all investigations into the fabric of reality. Zeno used logic to argue that motion is impossible, and at the heart of his maddening puzzle is the nature of space and time. Is space-time continuous or broken up like a string of beads? Over the past two millennia, many of our greatest minds?including Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and other current theoreticians?have been gripped by the mystery this puzzle represents. Joseph Mazur, acclaimed... more...
Motion and Vibration Controlby Lucas Ginzinger
Springer 2008; US$ 189.00Motion and vibration control is a fundamental technology for the development of advanced mechanical systems such as mechatronics, vehicle systems, robots, spacecraft, and rotating machinery. This book deals with the interdisciplinary aspects of technologies of motion and vibration control for mechanical, civil and aerospace systems. more...

Non Stop Inertiaby Ivor Southwood
O-Books 2011; US$ 9.99A theoretical investigation into the culture of precarious work, digital consumption and personal flexibility, calling for a counter-discourse of resistance. more...
La búsqueda de la velocidadby Lisa Greathouse
Shell Education 2010; US$ 8.99The need for speed is the motivating factor in this engaging book. Readers learn the history of travel from the very slow to the supersonic and beyond, including everything in between. They learn and discover the factors that influence motion for all types of vehicles: land, air, and water alike. They also learn different ways to measure speed and read about energy uses for different vehicles. With greater speed comes greater risk. Readers learn how engineers are always seeking new and better ways to keep people safe as they travel faster and go farther. 32pp. more...
