Encyclopedia of Time: Science, Philosophy, Theology, & Culture (Three Volume Set)

Sage Publications, 2009

"With a strong interdisciplinary approach to a subject that does not lend itself easily to the reference format, this work may not seem to support directly academic programs beyond general research, but it is a more thorough and up-to-date treatment than Taylor and Francis’s 1994 Encyclopedia of...

Discrete Mathematics for New Technology, Second Edition

Taylor & Francis, 2001

Discrete Mathematics for New Technology provides a sympathetic and accessible introduction to discrete mathematics, including the core mathematics requirements for undergraduate computer science students. The approach is comprehensive whilst maintaining an easy to follow progression from the basic mathematical ideas to the more sophisticated...

Acoustic Diffusers and Absorbers: Theory, Design and Application

Taylor & Francis, 2004

Every book tells a story and there is a story behind every book. This story begins in 1980, in the conference room of the laboratory for the structure of matter at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, where Peter D’Antonio was employed as a diffraction physicist. Knowing Peter’s interest in music, a colleague handed...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 2: Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Physics & Other Modern Applications

Taylor & Francis, 2001

This book covers the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman types, and their many applications in physics. It deals with systems that have an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The book discusses the general physical background and concepts of the path integral approach used, followed by the most typical and important...

Screws (Early Bird Physics)

Lerner Publications, 2001

You work every day. At home, you work in the kitchen. At school, you sharpen pencils. It may surprise you to learn that you also work during recess and at lunch. Playing and eating are work, too!

About the Authors

Sally M. Walker is the author of many books for young readers. When she isn’t busy writing and doing...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 1: Stochastic Process & Quantum Mechanics

Taylor & Francis, 2001

The importance of path-integral methods in theoretical physics can hardly be disputed. Their applications in most branches of modern physics have proved to be extremely fruitful not only for solving already existing problems but also as a guide for the formulation and development of essentially new ideas and approaches in the description of...

Next Generation Geospatial Information: From Digital Image Analysis to Spatiotemporal Databases (ISPRS Book Series)

Taylor & Francis, 2005

With the turn of the century our ability to collect and store geospatial information has increased considerably. This has resulted in ever-increasing amounts of heterogeneous geospatial data, an issue that poses new challenges and opportunities. As these rich sources of data are made available, users rely, now more than ever, on the...

Characterisation of Radiation Damage by Transmission Electron Microscopy

Taylor & Francis, 2000

Characterization of Radiation Damage by Transmission Electron Microscopy details the electron microscopy methods used to investigate complex and fine-scale microstructures, such as those produced by fast-particle irradiation of metals or ion implantation of semiconductors. The book focuses on the methods used to characterize small...

Wheels and Axles (Early Bird Physics Series)

Lerner Publications, 2001

You work every day. At home, one of your chores may be painting. At school, you work when you sharpen your pencil. You work at snack time. And you work when you race in gym. Eating and playing are work, too!

About the Authors

Sally M. Walker is the author of many books for young readers. When she isn’t busy writing and...

Electron Microscopy in Heterogeneous Catalysis (Series in Microscopy in Materials Science)

Taylor & Francis, 2002

Electron Microscopy in Heterogeneous Catalysis describes the unique role electron microscopy plays in the immensely important field of heterogeneous catalysis. It brings together several disciplines, namely surface science, solid state chemistry and physics, materials science, chemical engineering and crystallography. The work described in...

Lasers in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Principles and Applications (Optics and Optoelectronics)

Taylor & Francis, 2006

The book … describes how laser parameters associated with cleaning are chosen and the physics involved in various surface ablation processes. Key conservation practices are also addressed, such as removal of black encrustation from stone, varnish from paintings, and the laser cleaning of metals and paper. It details the use and benefit of...
