Remarkable Physicists
Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 53.00The 250 years from the second half of the 17th century saw the birth of modern physics and its growth into one of the most successful of the sciences. The reader will find here the lives of 55 of the most remarkable physicists from that era described in brief biographies. more...
Mathematical Modeling for Complex Fluids and Flows
Springer 2012; US$ 79.99"Mathematical Modeling for Complex Fluids and Flows" provides researchers and engineering practitioners encountering fluid flows with state-of-the-art knowledge in continuum concepts and associated fluid dynamics. In doing so it supplies the means to design mathematical models of these flows that adequately express the engineering physics... more...
Modern Vacuum Physics
CRC Press 2004; US$ 119.95Modern Vacuum Physics presents the principles and practices of vacuum science and technology along with a number of applications in research and industrial production. The first half of the book builds a foundation in gases and vapors under rarefied conditions, The second half presents examples of the analysis of representative systems and describes... more...
Against the Tide
CRC Press 2000; US$ 67.95The autobiography of a "Kiwi at Oxford" who has had a number of contrasting roles - fisherman's son, fighter pilot in the Pacific, scholar at Oxford, university professor in Sydney, Fellow of Balliol, head of mathematics departments in Oman and Oxford, and serial husband. more...
Physicists of Ireland
CRC Press 2003; US$ 83.95This book is a collection of essays on leading figures from the history of physics in Ireland. It includes physicists born outside Ireland who carried out significant work in Ireland, and also those whose work was carried out mainly outside Ireland provided they had strong Irish roots. The book is well illustrated with diagrams and photos of historical... more...
A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion
Running Press 2009; US$ 18.95With commentary by the greatest physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, this anthology has garnered impressive reviews. PW has called it ?a gem of a collection? while New Scientist magazine notes the ?thrill of reading Einstein?s own words.? From the writings that revealed the famous Theory of Relativity, to other papers that shook the scientific... more...
Werner Heisenberg - Die Sprache der Atome
Springer 2010; US$ 209.99Die Entdeckung Heisenbergs, dass sich Messwerte komplementärer Größen in der mikroskopischen Welt nicht beliebig genau bestimmen lassen, vollendete die von Planck, Einstein und anderen entwickelten Quantentheorie und eröffnete ein neues ?goldenes Zeitalter" der Physik. Der letzte Doktorand Werner Heisenbergs verarbeitet in dieser Biografie eigene Erinnerungen... more...

Introduction to Reactive Gas Dynamics
OUP Oxford 2009; US$ 98.99In high energy gas flows, at high velocities and high temperatures, physical and chemical processes such as molecular vibrational excitation, dissociation, ionisation or various reactions take place and deeply influence the structure of the flows. The characteristic times of these processes have the same order of magnitude as aerodynamic characteristic... more...
