Propellants and Explosives: Thermochemical Aspects of Combustion

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Explosives and propellants contain considerable chemical energy that can be converted into rapid expansion. In contrast to the simple burning of a fuel, explosives and propellants are self-contained and do not need an external supply of oxygen via air. Since their energy content inherently creates the risk of accidental triggering of the...

The Boundary Element Method with Programming: For Engineers and Scientists

Springer, 2008

This is a thorough, yet understandable text about the boundary element method (BEM), an attractive alternative to the finite element method (FEM). It not only explains the theory, but also deals with the implementation into computer code written in FORTRAN 95 (software can be freely downloaded). Applications range from potential problems to static...

The Constants of Nature: From Alpha to Omega--the Numbers That Encode the Deepest Secrets of the Universe

Pantheon, 2003

A major contribution to our understanding of the basic laws of the universe -- from the author of The Book of Nothing.

The constants of nature are the fundamental laws of physics that apply throughout the universe: gravity, velocity of light, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. They encode the deepest secrets of the...

The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 1975

"...an excellent set of reviews of some of the most exciting areas of research in gravitational physics...I have not found a comparable compilation of valuable information on the current status of general relativity." American Scientist

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions:...

Beginning Google Web Toolkit: From Novice to Professional

Apress, 2008

The open source, lightweight Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a framework that allows Java developers to build Rich Internet Applications (RIA), more recently called Ajax applications, in Java. Typically, writing these applications requires a lot of JavaScript development. However, Java and JavaScript are very distinctively different languages (although...

Applied SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture and Design Strategies

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

You need more than theory to make SOA work.

You need this practical guide.

The challenge today's IT professionals face is not how to build a service. It's how to build a quality service, based on solid design principles and integrated into an architecture that enhances overall business...

Software Security Engineering: A Guide for Project Managers (SEI Series in Software Engineering)

Addison Wesley, 2008

"This book's broad overview can help an organization choose a set of processes, policies, and techniques that are appropriate for its security maturity, risk tolerance, and development style. This book will help you understand how to incorporate practical security techniques into all phases of the...

Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design (Interactive Technologies)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2007

There is almost a fervor in the way that new products, with their rich and dynamic interfaces, are being released to the public-typically promising to make lives easier, solve the most difficult of problems, and maybe even make the world a better place. The reality is that few survive, much less deliver on their promise. The folly? An absence of...

Analog Circuits (World Class Designs)

Newnes, 2008

Newnes has worked with Robert Pease, a leader in the field of analog design to select the very best design-specific material that we have to offer. The Newnes portfolio has always been know for its practical no nonsense approach and our design content is in keeping with that tradition. This material has been chosen based on its timeliness and...

The Logic of Scientific Discovery (Routledge Classics)

Routledge, 2002

`One of the most important documents of the twentieth century.' - Sir Peter Medawar, New Scientist

`One cannot help feeling that, if it had been translated as soon as it had been originally published, philosophy in this country might have been saved some detours. Professor Popper's thesis has that quality of greatness that, once...

Gravity from the Ground Up: An Introductory Guide to Gravity and General Relativity

Cambridge University Press, 2003

"...the text is...inviting, with exercises that have real-world application, such as exploring the energy of photons that cause sunburn." Stuart J. Goldman, Sky & Telescope

"Delightfully throrough yet easy to read." American Scientist

This book provides an accessible introduction to...

An Introduction to Modern Cosmology

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

An Introduction to Modern Cosmology Second Edition is an accessible account of modern cosmological ideas. The Big Bang Cosmology is explored, looking at its observational successes in explaining the expansion and age of the universe, the existence and properties of the cosmic microwave background, and the origin of the light elements...
