Monte Carlo Methods in Mechanics of Fluid and Gas
World Scientific Publishing Company 2010; US$ 129.00This book is devoted to analysis of Monte Carlo methods developed in rarefied gas dynamics. Presented is the short history of the development of such methods, described are their main properties, their advantages and deficiencies. It is shown that the contemporary stage in the progress of computational methods cannot be regarded without a complex approach... more...
Shock Waves
Springer 2010; US$ 299.99The International Symposium on Shock Waves (ISSW) is a well established series of conferences held every two years in a different location. A unique feature of the ISSW is the emphasis on bridging the gap between physicists and engineers working in fields as different as gas dynamics, fluid mechanics and materials sciences. The main results presented... more...
Einstein und die Religion
Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2011; US$ 53.91Hauptbeschreibung Einsteins religiös-weltanschauliche Überzeugungen haben seine naturwissenschaftliche Arbeit maßgeblich mitbestimmt und erst ermöglicht. Markus Mühling untersucht das Wechselverhältnis zwischen religiös-weltanschaulichen Gehalten und naturwissenschaftlicher Theoriebildung Albert Einsteins erstmals in umfassender, historisch-kritischer... more...
High Temperature Phenomena in Shock Waves
Springer 2012; US$ 139.99The high temperatures generated in gases by shock waves give rise to physical and chemical phenomena such as molecular vibrational excitation, dissociation, ionization, chemical reactions and inherently related radiation. In continuum regime, these processes start from the wave front, so that generally the gaseous media behind shock waves may be in... more...
Niels Bohr's Philosophy of Physics
Cambridge University Press 1987; US$ 46.00This book gives a clear and comprehensive exposition of Niels Bohr's philosophy of physics. Bohr's ideas are of major importance, for they are the source of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics; yet they are obscure, and call for the s more...
A Student's Guide to Einstein's Major Papers
OUP Oxford 2012; US$ 44.99Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics.The dominant figure in this revolutionary change was Albert Einstein. In a single year, 1905, Einstein produced breakthrough... more...
People at the Well
Campus Verlag 2012; US$ 32.34Hauptbeschreibung Water is never just H2O. It is always more. It has its own ways of world-making and is much more than just a substance or a commodity. Water is also a focal point of religious meanings and inspires cultural practices. The book shows the different forms, the wide range and the impressive diversity of people´s dealings with water... more...
The Physics of Microdroplets
Wiley 2012; US$ 149.00The Physics of Microdroplets gives the reader the theoretical and numerical tools to understand, explain, calculate, and predict the often nonintuitive observed behavior of droplets in microsystems. Microdrops and interfaces are now a common feature in most fluidic microsystems, from biology, to biotechnology, materials science, 3D-microelectronics,... more...
Einstein on Race and Racism
Rutgers University Press 2005; US$ 17.95Nearly fifty years after his death, Albert Einstein remains one of America's foremost cultural icons. A thicket of materials, ranging from scholarly to popular, have been written, compiled, produced, and published about his life and his teachings. Among the ocean of Einsteinia-scientific monographs, biographies, anthologies, bibliographies, calendars,... more...
