$Physics For Dummies (Math & Science)$

Physics For Dummies (Math & Science)

For Dummies, 2004

Does just thinking about the laws of motion make your head spin? Does studying electricity short your circuits? Do the complexities of thermodynamics cool your enthusiasm?

Thanks to this book, you don’t have to be Einstein to understand physics. As you read about Newton’s Laws, Kepler’s Laws, Hooke’s Law, Ohm’s...

Advanced Tomographic Methods in Materials Research and Engineering (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials)

Oxford University Press, 2008

Tomography provides three-dimensional images of heterogeneous materials or engineering components, and offers an unprecedented insight into their internal structure. By using X-rays generated by synchrotrons, neutrons from nuclear reactors, or electrons provided by transmission electron microscopes, hitherto invisible structures can be revealed...

Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection (Physics Textbook)

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Since the preparation of the second edition (1995) of Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection, many important developments have taken place that affect the profession of radiological health protection. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has issued new documents in a number of areas that are addressed in this third...

Management of Ageing Processes in Graphite Reactor Cores (Special Publication)

Royal Society of Chemistry, 2007

Many nuclear reactors and components are coming to the end of their 'useful' life and strategies for the effective management of these decommissioned parts are paramount. Management of Ageing Processes in Graphite Reactor Cores discusses in detail both the scientific challenges and the issues involved in this subject. Covering fundamentals of...

The Great Design: Particles, Fields, and Creation

Oxford University Press, 1987

Although modern physics surrounds us and its concepts are constantly referred to in every newspaper, even educated nonscientists find the subject intimidating in the extreme. Most attempts to explain physics to general readers are either obscured by masses of mathematics or gross oversimplifications written by laymen. Here at last is a...

Analysis and Purification Methods in Combinatorial Chemistry (Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications)

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Quality measurement, control, and improvement in combinatorial chemistry

Combinatorial chemistry has developed rapidly in the past decade, with great advances made by scientists working on analysis and purification of a large number of compounds and the analysis of polymer-bound compounds. However, formidable...

Radioactive Waste Disposal at Sea: Public Ideas, Transnational Policy Entrepreneurs, and Environmental Regimes

MIT Press, 2000

"This book makes a significant contribution by showing that, under certain circumstances, regimes can be created and changed by a combination of powerful but highly oversimplified ‘public ideas’ and transnational political entrepreneurs. The work is original and the scholarship is sound beyond any question."

Introduction to Quantum Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2008

"The expertise of Paul shows in the easy transitions made between discussions of theory and experiment, particularly in subjects related to quantum optics."
M.C. Ogilvie, Choice Magazine

Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text covers a wider...

Hitting the Wall: A Vision of a Secure Energy Future (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Hitting the Wall examines the combination of two intractable energy problems of our age: the peaking of global oil production and the overloading of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. Both emerge from the overconsumption of fossil fuels and solving one problem helps solve the other. The misinformation campaign about climate change is discussed...

Oppenheimer: The Tragic Intellect

University of Chicago Press, 2006

At a time when the Manhattan Project was synonymous with large-scale science, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–67) represented the new sociocultural power of the American intellectual. Catapulted to fame as director of the Los Alamos atomic weapons laboratory, Oppenheimer occupied a key position in the compact between science and the...

Anatomy of a Robot (TAB Robotics)

McGraw-Hill, 2003

This work looks under the hood of all robotic projects, stimulating teachers, students, and hobbyists to learn more about the gamut of areas associated with control systems and robotics. It offers a unique presentation in providing both theory and philosophy in a technical yet entertaining way.

UNDER THE HOOD OF A...

An Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Accelerators (Wiley Series in Beam Physics and Accelerator Technology)

John Wiley & Sons, 1992

More than 50 years ago the discovery and understanding of radiation led to the idea of a beam of elementary particles. Since then the development of processes for the collection, focusing, and acceleration of such beams has given rise to a growing number of facilities designed to produce a variety of particle beams for a multitude of purposes....
