Electricity Deregulation: Choices and Challenges Volume 4
ISBN: 9780226308562 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The electricity market has experienced enormous setbacks in delivering on the promise of deregulation. In theory, deregulating the electricity market would increase the efficiency of the industry by producing electricity at lower costs and passing those cost savings on to customers. As "Electricity Deregulation" shows, successful deregulation is possible, although it is by no means a hands-off process in fact, it requires a substantial amount of design and regulatory oversight.
This collection brings together leading experts from academia, government, and big business to discuss the... The electricity market has experienced enormous setbacks in delivering on the promise of deregulation. In theory, deregulating the electricity market ...

Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics
ISBN: 9780226422671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2007 Pfizer Prize from the History of Science Society. Feynman diagrams have revolutionized nearly every aspect of theoretical physics since the middle of the twentieth century. Introduced by the American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-88) soon after World War II as a means of simplifying lengthy calculations in quantum electrodynamics, they soon gained adherents in many branches of the discipline. Yet as new physicists adopted the tiny line drawings, they also adapted the diagrams and introduced their own interpretations. Drawing Theories Apart traces how generations of...

Constitutions of Matter: Mathematically Modeling the Most Everyday of Physical Phenomena
ISBN: 9780226453040 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this insightful work, Martin H. Krieger shows what physicists are really doing when they employ mathematical models as research tools. He argues that the technical details of these complex calculations serve not only as a means to an end, but also reveal key aspects of the physical properties they model.
Krieger's lucid discussions will help readers to appreciate the larger physical issues behind the mathematical detail of modern physics and gain deeper insights into how theoretical physicists work. "Constitutions of Matter" is a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of modern... In this insightful work, Martin H.

Between Copernicus and Galileo: Christoph Clavius and the Collapse of Ptolemaic Cosmology
ISBN: 9780226469294 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between Copernicus and Galileo is the story of Christoph Clavius, the Jesuit astronomer and teacher whose work helped set the standards by which Galileo's famous claims appeared so radical, and whose teachings guided the intellectual and scientific agenda of the Church in the central years of the Scientific Revolution.
Though relatively unknown today, Clavius was enormously influential throughout Europe in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries through his astronomy books-the standard texts used in many colleges and universities, and the tools with which Descartes,...

Theoretical Principles in Astrophysics and Relativity
ISBN: 9780226469904 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Electrodynamics
ISBN: 9780226519579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Practically all of modern physics deals with fields functions of space (or spacetime) that give the value of a certain quantity, such as the temperature, in terms of its location within a prescribed volume. Electrodynamics is a comprehensive study of the field produced by (and interacting with) charged particles, which in practice means almost all matter.
Fulvio Melia's "Electrodynamics" offers a concise, compact, yet complete treatment of this important branch of physics. Unlike most of the standard texts, "Electrodynamics" neither assumes familiarity with basic concepts nor ends before...

When Physics Became King
ISBN: 9780226542010 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As recently as two hundred years ago, physics as we know it today did not exist. Born in the early nineteenth century during the second scientific revolution, physics struggled at first to achieve legitimacy in the scientific community and culture at large. In fact, the term "physicist" did not appear in English until the 1830s.
When Physics Became King traces the emergence of this revolutionary science, demonstrating how a discipline that barely existed in 1800 came to be regarded a century later as the ultimate key to unlocking nature's secrets.

The Highlands Controversy: Constructing Geological Knowledge Through Fieldwork in Nineteenth-Century Britain
ISBN: 9780226626352 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "The Highlands Controversy "is a rich and perceptive account of the third and last major dispute in nineteenth-century geology stemming from the work of Sir Roderick Murchison. The earlier Devonian and Cambrian-Silurian controversies centered on whether the strata of Devon and Wales should be classified by lithological or paleontological criteria, but the Highlands dispute arose from the difficulties the Scottish Highlands presented to geologists who were just learning to decipher the very complex processes of mountain building and metamorphism. David Oldroyd follows this controversy into the...

The Energy of Nature
ISBN: 9780226668086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Energy is crucial for events of every kind, in this world or any other. Without energy, nothing would ever happen. Nothing would move and there would be no life. The sun wouldn't shine, winds wouldn't blow, rivers wouldn't flow, trees wouldn't grow, birds wouldn't fly, and fish wouldn't swim; indeed no material object, living or dead, could even exist. In spite of all this, energy is seldom considered a part of what we call "nature."
In The Energy of Nature, E. C. Pielou explores energy's role in nature--how and where it originates, what it does, and what becomes of it. Drawing on...

The Physics of Time Reversal
ISBN: 9780226733319 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The notion that fundamental equations governing the motions of physical systems are invariant under the time reversal transformation ("T") has been an important, but often subliminal, element in the development of theoretical physics. It serves as a powerful and useful tool in analyzing the structure of matter at all scales, from gases and condensed matter to subnuclear physics and the quantum theory of fields. The assumption of invariance under "T" was called into question, however, by the 1964 discovery that a closely related assumption, that of "CP" invariance (where "C" is charge...
