Rogue Mobster: The Untold Story of Mark Silverman and the Boston Mafia
ISBN: 9781511947626 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Boston's Italian underworld never received the recognition of the traditional New York Families. When it did reach its pinnacle, the administration was based in Providence, Rhode Island and became known as the Patriarca Family. The family had been under absolute leadership for almost thirty years with Raymond Patriarca serving as boss and Gennaro 'Gerry' Angiulo as underboss. By 1986 Patriarca had passed away and Angiulo was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The family was for lack of a better word rudderless. Frank (Cadillac) Salemme was released from prison in 1986 and seized the opportunity...

A Universe of Atoms, an Atom in the Universe
ISBN: 9780387954370 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Approximately 10 years have passed since the publication of And Yet 1 It Moves: Strange Systems and Subtle Questions in Physics. During this time, the book has done very well, being received favorably by both readers and reviewers. The exhaustion of the last printing has given me the opportunity to make revisions. The present volume, updated and expanded by three new chapters containing a total of 17 additional essays on a wide range of questions that I have explored in quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics, general relativity, and astrophysics, has been given a new title to...

Quantum Superposition: Counterintuitive Consequences of Coherence, Entanglement, and Interference
ISBN: 9783540718833 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 379 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Coherence, entanglement, and interference arise from quantum superposition, the most distinctive and puzzling feature of quantum physics. Silverman, whose extensive experimental and theoretical work has helped elucidate these processes, presents a clear and engaging discussion of the role of quantum superposition in diverse quantum phenomena such as the wavelike nature of particle propagation, indistinguishability of identical particles, nonlocal interactions of correlated particles, topological effects of magnetic fields, and chiral asymmetry in nature. He also examines how macroscopic... Coherence, entanglement, and interference arise from quantum superposition, the most distinctive and puzzling feature of quantum physics. Silverman... |

Probing the Atom: Interactions of Coupled States, Fast Beams, and Loose Electrons
ISBN: 9780691009629 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The many-faceted efforts to understand the structure and interactions of atoms over the past hundred years have contributed decisively and dramatically to the explosive development of physics. There is hardly a branch of modern physical science that does not in some seminal way rely on the fundamental principles and mathematical and experimental insights that derive from these studies. In particular, the drive to understand the singular features of the hydrogen atom--simultaneously the archetype of all atoms and the least typical atom--spurred many of the twentieth century's advances in...

And Yet It Moves: Strange Systems and Subtle Questions in Physics
ISBN: 9780521446310 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1993, this book of essays is a largely nonmathematical account of some of the strange behaviour, both classical and quantum, exhibited by moving particles, fluids and waves. Drawn from the author's researches in quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, electromagnetism and optics, gravity, thermodynamics, and the physics of fluids, the essays describe different physical systems whose behaviour provokes surprise and challenges the imagination. There are strange processes for which no visualisable mechanism can be given; processes that seem to violate fundamental...

More Than One Mystery: Explorations in Quantum Interference
ISBN: 9780387943763 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." #Richard Feynman#
Basing his discussion on a small number of conceptually simple models (the two-level atom, the two-slit interferometer), the author addresses a number of conceptually interesting questions concerning the puzzles of quantum mechanics. Though the phenomena arising from quantum interference are central, he maintains that they are not the only mystery in quantum mechanics: the deep connection between spin and the statistics of identical particles, the "ghostly" long-range effects that correlated particles...

A Universe of Atoms, an Atom in the Universe
ISBN: 9781468492668 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. jThis thoroughly updated and revised text contains a selection of well-written essays based on Silvermans work on a wide range of topics, including: quantum mechanics, including atomic and nuclear physics, electromagnetism and optics, gravity, thermodynamics, and the physics of fluids. Presenting a personal odyssey in physics, Silverman investigates processes for which no visualizable mechanism can be given, or that seem to violate fundamental physical laws (but do not). The discussions use little mathematics, and anyone with a little college physics will be able to read the book with...
