Fundamentals of the Physics of Solids: Volume 1: Structure and Dynamics

Springer, 2007

"This first volume a ] focuses on crystal structure and lattice dynamics. a ] provides a substantial amount of theoretical material at an advanced graduate level. a ] There is more material here than can be covered in a single semester, and this book is more detailed than the well-known books a ] . This volume would be most attractive for a...

Light Years and Time Travel: An Exploration of Mankind's Enduring Fascination With Light

John Wiley & Sons, 2002

According to Einstein, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Of all the mind-bending theories in modern physics, that, at least, seemed a rule the universe–let alone mankind–could never break.

But in 1994 Professor Gunter Nimtz sent a recording of Mozart’s 40th Symphony through a physical barrier at four times...

Low Temperatures And Cold Molecules

Imperial College Press, 2008

New, unexpected and largely unexplored physical phenomena occur in systems cooled to very low temperatures. The background temperature in the universe is approximately 2.7 K, but much lower temperatures have now been obtained in the laboratory. This book reviews the progress in a number of related fields in which the common themes are low...

The Next Leap in Productivity: What Top Managers Really Need to Know about Information Technology

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

What Top Managers Really Need to Know about Information Technology

"These kinds of productivity principles are not mere theory. When we put these same principles into effect, our productivity went up more than we had thought possible. And our employee morale went up, too. It became easier to write code the right way and harder to make...

The Power of Strategic Commitment: Achieving Extraordinary Results Through Total Alignment and Engagement

AMACOM, 2009

Not just a slogan on the T-shirts you give out at the company picnic, commitment is a crucial strategic advantage in any organization. But it’s as elusive to achieve as it is easy to covet. Real commitment transcends simple compliance, where employees follow the rules and get their work done, and translates to the...

Knots and Surfaces

Oxford University Press, 1994

The fascination exerted by interlaced patterns and knotted forms is evident in their use in decorative and symbolic art across the centuries. Knotwork is a distinguishing feature of Celtic art, and the intricate beauty of decorated stonework and illuminated manuscripts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Book of Durrow, and the Book of Kells...

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...

Lectures On Computation (Frontiers in Physics)

Basic Books, 1996

From 1983 to 1986, the legendary physicist and teacher Richard Feynman gave a course at Caltech called Potentialities and Limitations of Computing Machines. Here are some of his lectures from that course. DLC: Electronic data processing.

About the Author

The late Richard P. Feynman was Richard...

Ideas of Quantum Chemistry

Elsevier Limited, 2007

Colours! The most beautiful of buds – an apple bud in my garden changes colour from red to rosy after a few days. Why? It then explodes into a beautiful pale rosy flower. After a few months what was once a flower looks completely different: it has become a big, round and red apple. Look at the apple skin. It is pale green, but moving along...

The Physics of Interstellar Dust (Series in Astronomy and Astrophysics)

Taylor & Francis, 2002

All of the material is presented clearly and concisely.
- Tom Hartquist in A&G

It is by far the most comprehensive, detailed, and in depth work ever published on this subject. The book derives all of the relevant physics for interstellar dust from first principles. It includes all of the necessary physics of dust grains,...

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

A complete introduction to the multidisciplinary applications of mathematical methods

In order to work with varying levels of engineering and physics research, it is important to have a firm understanding of key mathematical concepts such as advanced calculus, differential equations, complex analysis, and introductory mathematical...

Methods of Contemporary Mathematical Statistical Physics (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

This volume presents a collection of courses introducing the reader to the recent progress with attention being paid to laying solid grounds and developing various basic tools. An introductory chapter on lattice spin models is useful as a background for other lectures of the collection. The topics include new results on phase transitions for...
