The Legacy of Albert Einstein: A Collection of Essays in Celebration of the Year of Physics

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

"In this slender volume, about a dozen experts reflect succinctly on a variety of currently interesting topics, from black hole entropy in string theory to the challenge of dark energy. The book should interest primarily graduate students in physics and also some undergraduates ... is a fine reflection of the internationalism of modern science...

Origins: How the Planets, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe Began (Astronomers' Universe Series)

Springer, 2006

This new series is aimed at the same people as the Practical Astronomy Series – in general, active amateur astronomers. However, it is also appropriate to a wider audience of astronomically-informed readers. Because optical astronomy is a science that is rather at the mercy of the weather, all amateur astronomers inevitably have periods...

Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws

Cambridge University Press, 2001

One of the paradoxes of the physical sciences is that as our knowledge has progressed, more and more diverse physical phenomena can be explained in terms of fewer underlying laws, or principles. In Hidden Unity, eminent physicist John Taylor puts many of these findings into historical perspective and documents how progress is made when unexpected,...

Relativity: Special, General, and Cosmological

Oxford University Press, 2006

Relativistic cosmology has in recent years become one of the most exciting and active branches of current research. In conference after conference the view is expressed that cosmology today is where particle physics was forty years ago, with major discoveries just waiting to happen. Also gravitational wave detectors, presently under...

Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead (American Philosophy Series)

Fordham University Press, 2004

In Process and Reality and other works, Alfred North Whitehead struggled to come to terms with the impact the new science of quantum mechanics would have on metaphysics.

This ambitious book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmology....

Imagining the Tenth Dimension: A New Way of Thinking About Time and Space

Trafford Publishing, 2006

Reality, today's physicists tell us, is created by the vibrations of exquisitely tiny superstrings in ten spatial dimensions. Ten dimensions? Most of us have barely gotten used to the idea that there are four.

Using simple geometry and an easygoing writing style, author Rob Bryanton starts with the lower dimensions that we are...

Science and Religion: Understanding the Issues

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

From the heliocentric controversy and evolution, to debates on biotechnology and the environment, this book offers a balanced introduction to the key issues in science and religion.

A balanced, introductory textbook which fully spans the interface between science and religion, and includes illustrations of scientific...

Introduction to Astronomy and Cosmology

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Introduction to Astronomy & Cosmology is a modern undergraduate textbook, combining both the theory behind astronomy with the very latest developments. Written for science students, this book takes a carefully developed scientific approach to this dynamic subject. Every major concept is accompanied by a worked example with...

Mass Dimension One Fermions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

In 2005, Dharam Ahluwalia and Daniel Grumiller reported an unexpected theoretical discovery of mass dimension one fermions. These are an entirely new class of spin one half particles, and because of their mass dimensionality mismatch with the standard model fermions they are a first-principle dark matter candidate. Written by one of the...

Reviews in Modern Astronomy, Cosmic Matter (Volume 20)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

This 20th volume in the series contains 16 invited reviews and highlight contributions presented during the 2007 International Scientific Conference of the German Astronomical Society on the topic of "Cosmic Matter", held in Würzburg, Germany.

The papers published here discuss a wide range of hot topics, including cosmology,...

Fundamental Astronomy

Springer, 2007

Fundamental Astronomy gives a well-balanced and comprehensive introduction to the topics of classical and modern astronomy. While emphasizing both the astronomical concepts and the underlying physical principles, the text provides a sound basis for more profound studies in the astronomical sciences.

The fifth edition of this...

One Hundred Physics Visualizations Using MATLAB (with DVD-Rom)

World Scientific Publishing, 2013

This book provides visualizations of many topics in general physics. The aim is to have an interactive MATLAB script wherein the user can vary parameters in a specific problem and then immediately see the outcome by way of dynamic "movies" of the response of the system in question. MATLAB tools are used throughout and the software...
