Socio-Political Reflections and Civil Defense
ISBN: 9783642637650 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. E.P. Wigner, one of the leading scientists involved in the early development of nuclear technology, had always in mind its political and social implications. In the 60s persuing his goal of a peaceful open world he began to develop the concept of Civil Defense against nuclear attacks. Looking back one might see this as an alternative to the concept of the Nuclear Shield. The present volume contains a selection of Wigner's writings on this subject. It is annotated by Conrad Chester.

Climbing the Mountain: The Scientific Biography of Julian Schwinger
ISBN: 9780198527459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 696 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Julian Schwinger was one of the leading theoretical physicists of the twentieth century. His contributions are as important, and as pervasive, as those of Richard Feynman, with whom (and with Sin-itiro Tomonaga) he shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics. Yet, while Feynman is universally recognized as a cultural icon, Schwinger is little known even to many within the physics community. In his youth, Julian Schwinger was a nuclear physicist, turning to classical electrodynamics after World War II. In the years after the war, he was the first to renormalize quantum electrodynamics....

Climbing the Mountain: The Scientific Biography of Julian Schwinger
ISBN: 9780198506584 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 696 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first biography ever written on the distinguished physicist Julian Schwinger. Schwinger was one of the most important and influential scientists of the twentieth century. The list of his contributions is staggering, from his early work leading to the Schwinger action principle, Euclidean quantum field theory, and the genesis of the standard model, to later valuable work on magnetic charge and the Casimir effect. He also shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Richard Feynman. However, even among physicists, understanding and recognition of his work remains limited. This book...

The Solvay Conferences on Physics: Aspects of the Development of Physics Since 1911
ISBN: 9789401018692 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Jagdish Mehra's historical account of the Solvay Conferences from 1911 to 1973 demonstrates not only the great influence which these conferences have had on the development of modern physics, but it also shows clearly how far-sighted and well planned were the intentions of Ernest Solvay when he took the initiative for organizing a new type of international conferences. In contrast to the conventional meetings in which reports are given on the successful solution of scientific problems, the Solvay Conferences were conceived to help directly in solving specific problems of unusual difficulty....

Einstein, Physics and Reality
ISBN: 9789810239138 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Albert Einstein was one of the principal founders of the quantum and relativity theories. Until 1925, when the Bose-Einstein statistics was discovered, he made great contributions to the foundations of quantum theory. However, after the discovery of quantum mechanics by Heisenberg and wave mechanics by Schrödinger, with the consequent development of the principles of uncertainty and complementarity, it would seem that Einstein's views completely changed. In his theory of the Brownian motion, Einstein had invoked the theory of probability to establish the reality of atoms and...

Einstein, Hilbert, and the Theory of Gravitation: Historical Origins of General Relativity Theory
ISBN: 9789027704405 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Some time ago I published a small piece * dealing with a charming little essay on 'the state of ether in magnetic fields', which the sixteen-year-old Einstein had written while he was awaiting admission to the E. T. H. in Zurich. This paper sought to trace the continuity between Einstein's early interest in electrodynamics and his later work on the special and general relativity theories. On reading this paper, Professor Eugene Wigner asked me whether David Hilbert had not independently discovered the field equations of gravitation. ** His impression from his stay in Gottingen (where Wigner...
