The Data Book of Astronomy

Taylor & Francis, 2000

The Solar System consists of one star (the Sun), the nine principal planets, their satellites and lesser bodies such as asteroids, comets and meteoroids, plus a vast amount of thinly-spread interplanetary matter. The Sun contains more than 99% of the mass of the system, and Jupiter is more massive than all the other planets combined. The centre of...

Practical Relativity: From First Principles to the Theory of Gravity

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

The book is intended to serve as lecture material for courses on relativity at undergraduate level. Although there has been much written on special relativity the present book will emphasize the real applications of relativity. In addition, it will be physically designed with the use of box summaries so as to allow easy access of practical...

The Universe: A View from Classical and Quantum Gravity

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Written by a well-known author in the field, this book presents a modern understanding of the universe based on relativity, quantum physics and their elusive combination. It introduces the crucial theoretical ingredients in an accessible way, starting from the physics of Newton and developing subsequent theories all the way to the modern...

Particle and Astroparticle Physics (Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation)

Taylor & Francis, 2007

From superstring theory to models with extra dimensions to dark matter and dark energy, a range of theoretically stimulating ideas have evolved for physics beyond the standard model. These developments have spawned a new area of physics that centers on the interplay between particle physics and cosmology—astroparticle physics. Providing the...

Particle Physics on the Eve of LHC: Proceedings of the Thirteenth Lomonosov Conference on Elementary Particle Physics

World Scientific Publishing, 2009

This proceedings volume is devoted to a wide variety of items, both in theory and experiment, of particle physics such as tests of the Standard Model and beyond, physics at the future accelerators, neutrino and astroparticle physics, heavy quark physics, non-perturbative QCD, quantum gravity effects and cosmology. It is important that the papers in...

Barron's Finance & Investment Handbook (5th ed)

Barron's Educational Series, 1998

People retiring in the early years of the 21st century, the so-called baby boom generation, have witnessed a revolution in the world of finance and investment during their working years. The forces of globalization assure that their children, now in their earning years, face a future just as dynamic.

Modern Cosmology

Academic Press, 2003

Modern Cosmology begins with an introduction to the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, including careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. From this starting point, the reader is introduced to perturbations about an FRW universe: their...

Wireless Internet and Mobile Business How to Program

Prentice Hall, 2001

Wow! Many of our readers will say, "I had no idea that this wireless stuff was so significant. I have been using cell phones for years, but I never viewed cell phones as vehicles for connecting to the Internet and browsing the Web. Now, all of a sudden, I learn the amazing statistic that the number of people accessing the Web through wireless...

Fundamentals of Galaxy Dynamics, Formation and Evolution

UCL Press, 2020

Galaxies, along with their underlying dark matter halos, constitute the building blocks of the universe. Of all the fundamental forces, gravity is the dominant one that drives the evolution of structures from small density seeds to the galaxies we see today. The interactions among myriads of stars, or dark matter particles, in a...
