Cosmic Blueprintby Paul Davies
Templeton Foundation Press 2011; US$ 9.99In this critically acclaimed book, first published in 1988 and now reprinted in paperback, scientist and author Paul Davies explains how recent scientific advances are transforming our understanding of the emergence of complexity and organization in the universe. Melding a variety of ideas and disciplines from biology, fundamental physics, computer science, mathematics, genetics, and neurology, Davies presents his provocative theory on the source of the universe's creative potency. He explores the new paradigm (replacing the centuries-old Newtonian view of the universe) that recognizes the collective and holistic properties of physical systems and the power of self-organization. He casts the laws in physics in the role of... more...
Causality and Chance in Modern Physicsby David Bohm
Routledge 1984; US$ 32.95In this classic, David Bohm was the first to offer us his causal interpretation of the quantum theory. Causality and Chance in Modern Physics continues to make possible further insight into the meaning of the quantum theory and to suggest ways of extending the theory into new directions. more...
Mad about Physicsby Christopher Jargodzki; Franklin Potter
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 17.95Why is there eight times more ice in Antarctica than in the Arctic? Why can you warm your hands by blowing gently, and cool your hands by blowing hard? Why would a pitcher scuff a baseball?Which weighs more-a pound of feathers or a pound of iron? Let science experts Christopher Jargodzki and Franklin Potter guide you through the curiosities of physics and you'll find the answers to these and hundreds of other quirky conundrums. You'll discover why sounds carry well over water (especially in the summer), how a mouse can be levitated in a magnetic field, why backspin is so important when shooting a basketball, and whether women are indeed as strong as men. With nearly 400 questions and answers on everything from race cars to jumping fleas to... more...
High Temperature Superconductors And Other Superfluidsby A. S. Alexandrov; the late Sir Nevill Mott
CRC Press 1994; US$ 74.95Written by experts in the field this book provides an explanation of physical properties of high temperature superconductors based on modern bipolaron theory of superconductivity in clear and accessible language. more...
Special Relativityby A.P. French
CRC Press 1968; US$ 73.95The book opens with a description of the smooth transition from Newtonian to Einsteinian behaviour from electrons as their energy is progressively increased, and this leads directly to the relativistic expressions for mass, momentum and energy of a particle. 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...
