Bricklin on Technology

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

In a world that divides us, technology creates connection. Cell phones, e-mail, digital cameras, personal Web sites—they all join us, however tenuously, to what we value. Is connectivity what we’re willing to pay for? Should technology be our servant or a tool that helps us do other things? What can we really learn from Napster? What...

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...

A Theory of the Drone

New Press, 2015

Drone warfare has raised profound ethical and constitutional questions both in the halls of Congress and among the U.S. public. Not since debates over nuclear warfare has American military strategy been the subject of discussion in living rooms, classrooms, and houses of worship. Yet as this groundbreaking new work shows, the full...

Fundamentals of Quantum Chemistry: Molecular Spectroscopy and Modern Electronic Structure Computations

Springer, 2001

As quantum theory enters its second century, it is fitting to examine just how far it has come as a tool for the chemist. Beginning with Max Planck’s agonizing conclusion in 1900 that linked energy emission in discreet bundles to the resultant black-body radiation curve, a body of knowledge has developed with profound consequences in...

Advanced Quantum Mechanics: Materials and Photons (Graduate Texts in Physics)

Springer, 2012

Advanced Quantum Mechanics: Materials and Photons is a textbook which emphasizes the importance of advanced quantum mechanics for materials science and all experimental techniques which employ photon absorption, emission, or scattering. Important aspects of introductory quantum mechanics are covered in the first seven chapters to make...

Principles Of Radiation Interaction In Matter And Detection

World Scientific Publishing, 2004

Data analysis and instrumentation applications require an excellent knowledge of the interactions between radiation and matter, radiation and particle detectors, the principles and conditions of detector operation, as well as the limitations and advantages. This book provides abundant information about the energy deposition in detecting systems,...

Imaging the Central Nervous System of the Fetus and Neonate

CRC Press, 2006

One of the most significant areas of advance in clinical medicine over the last 20 years has been in the imaging technologies. It is difficult to point to the single method or application that has benefited most from those advances because nearly all specialities in medicine have been involved. Perhaps the most significant trend, however, has...

Lights On!: The Science of Power Generation

The Johns Hopkins University, 2013

Power generation is a relatively recent concern because humans had little need for sustained power until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Today, modern civilization is wholly dependent on the production and distribution of power. Without it, our way of life would be extinguished.

In Lights On!, Mark Denny reveals the...
