The Structural Foundations of Quantum Gravity
ISBN: 9780199269693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is spacetime? General relativity and quantum field theory answer this question in very different ways. This collection of essays by physicists and philosophers looks at the problem of uniting these two most fundamental theories of our world, focusing on the nature of space and time within this new quantum framework, and the kind of metaphysical picture suggested by recent developments in physics and mathematics. This is a book that will inspire further philosophical reflection on recent advances in modern physics.

Discrete Symmetries and Cp Violation: From Experiment to Theory
ISBN: 9780199296668 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The investigation of discrete symmetries is a fascinating subject which has been central in the agenda of physics research for 50 years, in several fields, and is the target of many experiments, ongoing and in preparation, all over the world. This book approaches the subject from a somewhat less traditional angle: while being self-contained and suitable to the reader who wants to acquire a solid knowledge of the topic, it puts more emphasis on the experimental aspects of the field, trying to provide a wider picture than usual and to convey the intellectual challenge of experimental physics...

Physics of Strongly Coupled Plasma
ISBN: 9780199299805 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 534 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The book is devoted to the physics of plasma at high density, which has been compressed so strongly that the effects of interparticle interactions and non-ideality govern its behavior. Interest in this non-traditional plasma has been generated in recent years when states of matter with high concentration of energy became accessible experimentally as the basis of modern technologies and facilities. The greatest part of the matter in the Universe is in this exotic state. In this book, the methods of generation and diagnostics of strongly coupled plasmas are presented, along with the main...

Laser Physics
ISBN: 9780201069037 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book treats the interaction of radiation with matter, particular attention being paid to the laser. Knowledge is assumed of the usual half-year introduction of quantum mechanics found in undergraduate physics curricula. The material can be covered in two semesters, or, alternatively, the first part (Chaps 1-13) can be used as a one-semester course in which quantum mechanical aspects of the electromagnetic field are ignored. Each chapter is accompanied by problems that illustrate the text and give useful (occasionally new) results. Existing laser media are intrinsically quantum mechanical...

Rain of Iron & Ice
ISBN: 9780201154948 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rain of Iron and Ice shows us the unmistakable evidence--from spaceprobe flybys of the planets to the scars on our own Earth--of cataclysmic comet and asteroid impacts. By comparing what we know about the earth's geology and paleontology with the ages of the other planets and moons in our solar system, Lewis makes the strongest case yet for sudden, dramatic extinctions and assesses the risks to planet Earth.

The Three Big Bangs
ISBN: 9780201154955 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Scientists believe that we would not be here it were not for three great cataclysms in the early history of Earth and of the universe. This is the first book to explore the deep connection between the events that shaped life on Earth: the "Big Bang" that spawned an entire universe; the explosion of a supernova, which seeded the solar system with heavy elements; and the crash of a comet or asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and cleared the way for the evolution of mammals.

Mining the Sky
ISBN: 9780201328196 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. While we worry over the depletion of the earth's natural resources, the pollution of our planet, and the challenges presented by the earth's growing population, billions of dollars worth of metals, fuels, and life-sustaining substances await us in nearby space. In this visionary book, noted planetary scientist John S. Lewis explains how we can mine these precious metals from the asteroids, comets, and planets in our own solar system for use in space construction projects. And this is just one of the possibilities. Join John S. Lewis as he contemplates milking the moons of Mars for water and...

Venus Revealed: A New Look Below the Clouds of Our Mysterious Twin Planet
ISBN: 9780201328394 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Until very recently, all we really knew about Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor, was that it was roughly the same size and mass as the earth and was surrounded by a thick atmosphere. Then, in 1989, American scientists launched Magellan--the spacecraft that would revolutionize our vision of this mysterious planet. Venus Revealed is the first book to explain the breathtaking results of this mission, which unveiled a Venusian world of active volcanoes, shining mountains, and river valleys carved by torrents of flowing lava. At one time, Venus may have even had a wet, temperate...

Theory of Fundamental Processes
ISBN: 9780201360776 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In these classic lectures, Richard Feynman first considers the basic ideas of quantum mechanics, treating the concept of amplitude in special detail and emphasizing that other things, such as the combination laws of angular momenta, are largely consequences of this concept. Feynman also discusses relativity and the idea of anti-particles, finally returning to a discussion of quantum electrodynamics, which takes up most of this volume.

Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings
ISBN: 9780201360790 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 756 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to introduce string theory without assuming any background in quantum field theory. Part I of this book follows the development of quantum field theory for point particles, while Part II introduces strings. All of the tools and concepts that are needed to quantize strings are developed first for point particles. Thus, Part I presents the main framework of quantum field theory and provides for a coherent development of the generalization and application of quantum field theory for point particles to strings.Part II emphasizes the quantization of the bosonic string....
