50 Years of Yang-Mills Theory
ISBN: 9789812389343 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On the 50th anniversary of Yang-Mills theory, this invaluable volume looks back at the developments and achievements in elementary particle physics that ensued from that beautiful idea. During the last five decades, Yang-Mills theory, which is undeniably the most important cornerstone of theoretical physics, has expanded widely. It has been investigated from many perspectives, and many new and unexpected features have been uncovered from this theory. In recent decades, apart from high energy physics, the theory has been actively applied in other branches of physics, such as statistical...

Time in Powers of Ten: Natural Phenomena and Their Timescales
ISBN: 9789814489805 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this richly illustrated book, Nobel Laureate Gerard 't Hooft and Theoretical Physicist Stefan Vandoren describe the enormous diversity of natural phenomena that take place at different time scales. In the tradition of the bestseller Powers of Ten, the authors zoom in and out in time, each step with a factor of ten. Starting from one second, time scales are enlarged until processes are reached that take much longer than the age of the universe. After the largest possible eternities, the reader is treated to the shortest and fastest phenomena known. Then the authors increase with powers of...

Japanese Contract and Anti-Trust Law: A Sociological and Comparative Study
ISBN: 9780700715770 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Little has been written on Japanese contract law and anti-trust law in Western languages. This book describes the role of this law in protecting the distributor against unilateral terminations of distribution agreements. There have been significant pressures both to lower prices and restructure distribution channels in Japan which have strained many distribution agreements. This volume, based primarily on Japanese language legal material, not only involves a study of applicable black-letter law, but also a sociological study of its application in practice. Detailed analysis has been made in...

Justice to Future Generations and the Environment
ISBN: 9789048152407 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The analysis of justice between generations proposed in this book is based first of all on a critical reading of Rawls' theory of justice, but it also pays attention to the existential and cultural context of our intuitions about intergenerational equity. Although the desire for justice supplies an independent reason for action, the unprecedented character of the context in which that reason must operate necessarily raises the question of its psychological support: we want justice for future people, but what interest do we have in their welfare in the first place? I have tried to capture this...

In Search of the Ultimate Building Blocks
ISBN: 9780521578837 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From 1960 until 1990 theoretical physicists and experimentalists worked together to probe deeper and deeper into the basic structure of matter, moving closer to an understanding of the ultimate building blocks of the universe. Gerard 't Hooft was closely involved in many of the advances in modern theoretical physics that led to improved understanding of elementary particles, and this is a first-hand account of one of the most creative and exciting periods of discovery in the history of physics. Using language a layperson can understand, this narrative touches on many central topics and ideas,...

Questioning Cosmopolitanism
ISBN: 9789400715653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Wim Vandekerckhove and Stan van Hooft The philosopher, Diogenes the Cynic, in the fourth century BCE, was asked where he came from and where he felt he belonged. He answered that he was a "citi- 1 zen of the world" (kosmopolites) . This made him the rst person known to have described himself as a cosmopolitan. A century later, the Stoics had developed that concept further, stating that the whole cosmos was but one polis, of which the order was logos or right reason. Living according to that right reason implied showing goodness to all of human kind. Through early Christianity, cosmopolitanism...

Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory
ISBN: 9781461280538 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 603 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During the past 15 years, quantum field theory and classical statistical mechanics have merged into a single field, and the need for nonperturbative methods for the description of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics as well as for problems in elementary particle physics are generally acknowledged. Such methods formed the central theme of the 1987 Cargese Advanced Study Institut. e on "Nonpert. urbat. ive Quantum Field Theory. " The use of conformal symmet. ry has been of central interest in recent years, and was a main subject at. t. he ASI. Conformal invariant quantum field theory...

Quantum Fields and Quantum Space Time
ISBN: 9780306456978 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 1996 NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) followed the international tradi tion of the schools held in Cargese in 1976, 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1991. Impressive progress in quantum field theory had been made since the last school in 1991. Much of it is connected with the interplay of quantum theory and the structure of space time, including canonical gravity, black holes, string theory, application of noncommutative differential geometry, and quantum symmetries. In addition there had recently been important advances in quantum field theory which exploited the electromagnetic duality in...

Views of a Physicist: N G Van Kampen
ISBN: 9789810243579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. NG van Kampen is a well-known theoretical physicist who has had a long and distinguished career. His research covers scattering theory, plasma physics, statistical mechanics, and various mathematical aspects of physics. In addition to his scientific work, he has written a number of papers about more general aspects of science. An indefatigable fighter for intellectual honesty and clarity, he has pointed out repeatedly that the fundamental ideas of physics have been needlessly obscured.
As those papers appeared in various journals, partly in Dutch, it was felt that it would be worthwhile to... NG van Kampen is a well-known theoretical physicist who has had a long and distinguished career. His research covers scattering theory, plasma physics...
