Petit Point: A Candid Portrait on the Aberrations of Science
ISBN: 9789812560117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this fascinating book, Nobel Prize winner Pierre-Gilles de Gennes wittily captures the lives of personalities from both the academic and the industrial world in delightful bite-size stories. Most of the characters in this collection are like those in Aesop's fables, but in modern-day research settings. The book provides a critical account of aberrations (fortunately rare) of the scientific community. Many lessons can be drawn from the stories. For the young researcher, this book is like a telescope: for seeing other human beings beyond his or her laboratory. For the administrator, this...

Capillarity and Wetting Phenomena: Drops, Bubbles, Pearls, Waves
ISBN: 9781441918338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. As I glance out my window in the early morning, I can see beads of droplets gracing a spider web. The film of dew that has settled on the threads is unstable and breaks up spontaneously into droplets. This phenomenon has implications for the treatment of textile fibers (the process known as "oiling"), glass, and carbon. It is no less important when applying mascara I take my morning shower. The moment I step out, I dry off by way of evaporation (which makes me feel cold) and by dewetting (the process by which dry areas form spontaneously and expand on my skin). As I rush into my car under a...

Simple Views On Condensed Matter
ISBN: 9789810209094 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The works of the 1991 Nobel prize winner in Physics, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, have transformed condensed matter physics. Over the last three decades, he has left his indelible mark on an astonishing variety of condensed matter topics — magnets, superconductors, liquid crystals, polymers, interfaces, wetting and adhesions, and chirality. In doing so, he has bridged the gap between solid state physics and physical chemistry, and has forged close links between experimentalists and theoreticians.In awarding him the 1991 Nobel prize for his theoretical studies on liquid crystals and polymers,...

Fragile Objects: Soft Matter, Hard Science, and the Thrill of Discovery
ISBN: 9781461275282 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Over the past few decades we have learned a great deal about the behavior of such materials as liquid crystals, emulsions and colloids, polymers, and complex molecules. These materials, called "soft matter" ("matiere fragile" in French), have neither the rigid structure and crystalline symmetry of a solid nor the uniformity and disorder of a fluid or a gas. They have unusual and fascinating properties: some change their viscosity at our beck and call; others form layers of two-dimensional liquids; some are polarized, their molecules all oriented in the same direction and turning in unison at...

ISBN: 9789810232719 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume contains a selection of important papers by P.G. de Gennes (1991 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics) which have had a long-lasting impact on the understanding of condensed matter (solid state physics, liquid crystals, polymers, interfaces, wetting and adhesion). A typical example is the original article on "reptation" of polymer chains. The author has added some "afterthoughts" to the main papers (explaining their successes or weaknesses), and some current views on each special problem. Complex systems (polymers or granular matters, and so forth) are explained without heavy...

Soft Interfaces: The 1994 Dirac Memorial Lecture
ISBN: 9780521020350 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, died in 1984. Dirac's college, St. John's of Cambridge, generously endowed annual lectures to be held at Cambridge University in his memory. This volume contains a much expanded version of the 1994 Dirac Lecture by Nobel Laureate Pierre Gilles de Gennes. The book presents an impressionistic tour of the physics of soft interfaces. Full of insight and interesting asides, it not only provides an accessible introduction to this topic, but also lays down many markers and signposts that will be of interest to...

Superconductivity Of Metals And Alloys
ISBN: 9780738201016 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Drawn from the author's introductory course at the University of Orsay, Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys is intended to explain the basic knowledge of superconductivity for both experimentalists and theoreticians. These notes begin with an elementary discussion of magnetic properties of Type I and Type II superconductors. The microscopic theory is then built up in the Bogolubov language of self-consistent fields. This text provides the classic, fundamental basis for any work in the field of superconductivity.

Introduction to Polymer Dynamics
ISBN: 9780521388498 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book, based on lectures given at the Polytechnic of Milan, gives a broad overview of the field of polymer dynamics. In these lectures the aim is to stress the fundamental concepts of the behaviour of polymers without drawing on the more advanced mathematical formalism which often obscures the natural elegance of the subject matter. Professor De Gennes is one of the most distinguished workers in the field of material science. Therefore this book will be welcomed by both the experienced researcher in the area and the interested layman. It will be of particular value to graduate students.
