Spontaneous Current Sheets in Magnetic Fields : With Applications to Stellar X-Rays
ISBN: 9780195073713 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Expanding upon the ideas first proposed in his seminal book Cosmical Magnetic Fields, Eugene N. Parker here offers the first in-depth treatment of the magnetohydrodynamic theory of spontaneous magnetic discontinuities. In detailing his theory of the spontaneous formation of tangential discontinuities (current sheets) in a magnetic field embedded in highly conducting plasma, Parker shows how it can be used to explain the activity of the external magnetic fields of planets, stars, interstellar gas clouds, and galaxies, as well as the magnetic fields in laboratory plasmas. Provocative...

Einstein's Universe : Gravity at Work and Play
ISBN: 9780195142853 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. On Albert Einstein's seventy-sixth and final birthday, a friend gave him a simple toy made from a broomstick, a brass ball attached to a length of string, and a weak spring. Einstein was delighted: the toy worked on a principle he had conceived fifty years earlier when he was working on his revolutionary theory of gravity--a principle whose implications are still confounding physicists today.
Starting with this winning anecdote, Anthony Zee begins his animated discussion of phenomena ranging from the emergence of galaxies to the curvature of space-time, evidence for the existence of...

Equivalence and Priority : Newton versus Leibniz: including Leibniz's Unpublished Manuscript on the Principia
ISBN: 9780198501435 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Leibniz's dispute with Newton over the physico-mathematical theories expounded in the Principia Mathematica (1687) have long been identified as a crucial episode in the history of science. Bertolini Meli here examines several hitherto unpublished manuscripts in Leibniz's hand illustrating his first reading of and reaction to Newton's Principia. Six of the most important manuscripts are here presented for the first time. Contrary to Leibniz's own claims, this new evidence shows that he had studied Newton's masterpiece before publishing An Essay on the Causes of Celestial Motions. This article,...

Stellar Magnetism
ISBN: 9780198517610 / Angielski / Twarda / 658 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most stars show some degree of magnetic activity, from the familiar variations in the Sun's magnetic field, which coincide with the sun-spot cycle, to the enormous magnetic fields created by rotating neutron stars. Magnetic fields are also a potential key to understanding the formation of new stars and the behavior of galactic nuclei. This book by one of the leading figures in stellar magnetism provides an authoritative survey of this rapidly developing field. Based on a lifetime of research, the book places stellar magnetism in a broad astronomical scope and provides a thorough, well-argued...

Theoretical Principles in Astrophysics and Relativity
ISBN: 9780226469904 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. "This is a remarkable book: a symposium proceedings volume that will also function as a graduate-level text. Dedicated to the great theorist S. Chandrasekhar, the book consists of ten well-written chapters that cover the essential tools of theoretical astrophysics. The first half of the volume is concerned with the theory of how stars work (structure, stability, rotation, magnetism, dynamics) and the latter half is mainly a survey of relativistic astrophysics. . . . Read it for a broad-brush view of what theorists are up to now and how they solve problems."--Journal of the British...

Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics
ISBN: 9780226870274 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. In this book, Robert Wald provides a coherent, pedagogical introduction to the formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. He begins with a treatment of the ordinary one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator, progresses through the construction of quantum field theory in flat spacetime to possible constructions of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and, ultimately, to an algebraic formulation of the theory. In his presentation, Wald disentangles essential features of the theory from inessential ones (such as a particle interpretation) and clarifies relationships between...
