UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson: Eyewitness Accounts from the Real Area 51

New Page Books, 2019

“Carey and Schmitt show that good, old-fashioned investigative reporting is still alive and well.” —Cheryll Jones, former anchor, CNN News

The true nature of what actually crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 remains classified. Only a select few have ever had access to the truth about what...

The Accretion and Obscured Growth of Supermassive Black Holes: First Constraints on the Local Heavily Obscured AGN Fraction with NuSTAR (Springer Theses)

Springer, 2020

This thesis describes the application of state-of-the-art high-energy X-ray studies to the astronomical quest for understanding obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). These AGN are supermassive black holes growing by accretion of matter located in the nuclei of galaxies. The material that feeds these black holes also obscures them from...

Principles of Cloning

Academic Press, 2002

In 1997, Dolly the cloned sheep began a biological revolution. She showed us the way to physiologically dedifferentiate already committed somatic cells, opening the gate to a whole new world of possibilities in the study of basic biological mechanisms that touch the origins of life at its core. It is clear that cloning vertebrates...

Nucleosynthesis and Chemical Evolution of Galaxies

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The existence and distribution of the chemical elements and their isotopes is a consequence of nuclear processes that have taken place in the past in the Big Bang and subsequently in stars and in the interstellar medium (ISM) where they are still ongoing. These processes are studied theoretically, experimentally and observationally. Theories of...

Key Concepts in Energy

Springer, 2014

Organized around eight fundamental ideas, Key concepts in energy history explores the discoveries, technologies and new paradigms in the field of energy, and how they have changed the course of history. Complex technical concepts such as the “rebound effect”, “technological hybridization”, “marginal cost...

Hilbert Space Operators in Quantum Physics (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 2008

Some praise for the previous edition:

“I really enjoyed reading this work. It is very well written, by three real experts in the field. It stands quite alone....” (John R. Taylor, Professor of Physics and Presidential Teaching Scholar, University of Colorado at Boulder)

This course-tested book explains in detail the theory...

Nonlinear Differential Equations in Physics: Novel Methods for Finding Solutions

Springer, 2019

This book discusses various novel analytical and numerical methods for solving partial and fractional differential equations. Moreover, it presents selected numerical methods for solving stochastic point kinetic equations in nuclear reactor dynamics by using Euler–Maruyama and strong-order Taylor numerical methods. The book...

Complete General Science for IAS: Includes physics, chemistry and biology by sifox publication.

Independent Publishers Group, 2017

Science is valued mostly for its practical advantages though it is also valued of gratifying disinterested curiosity and as an object of great aesthetic charm. It is quite obvious that the bulk of mankind, value science, chiefly for the practical advantages it brings with it. PART – I PHYSICS Sl. No. TOPICS PAGE No. 1. Wave Theory...

Mad About Modern Physics : Braintwisters, Paradoxes, and Curiosities

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

This book of almost 250 puzzles begins where our first book, Mad
About Physics: Braintwisters, Paradoxes, and Curiosities (2001)
ended—with the physics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. The Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, the
challenges posed by atomic spectra and blackbody radiation, the...

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 Fundamental Constants: A Mystery of Physics

World Scientific Publishing, 2009

The speed of light, the fine structure constant, and Newton's constant of gravity -- these are just three among the many physical constants that define our picture of the world. Where do they come from? Are they constant in time and across space? In this book, physicist and author Harald Fritzsch invites the reader to explore the mystery of the...

This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race

Bloomsbury Publishing, 2021

“Part John le Carré and more parts Michael Crichton . . . spellbinding.” –The New Yorker

From The New York Times cybersecurity reporter Nicole Perlroth, the untold story of the cyberweapons market-the most secretive, invisible, government-backed market on earth-and a...
