Einstein and the Quantum reveals for the first time the full significance of Albert Einstein's contributions to quantum theory. Einstein famously rejected quantum mechanics, observing that God does not play dice. But, in fact, he thought more about the nature of atoms, molecules, and the emission and absorption of light--the core of what we now kno

Einstein's theories of relativity piqued public curiosity more than any other mathematical concepts since the time of Isaac Newton. This book addresses his other great theory, that of heat capacity and the Bose-Einstein condensate. It traces the history of radiation and heat capacity theory from the mid-19th century.

Students are often asked to understand complex scientific concepts in a vacuum - they are expected to grasp the significance of profound scientific truths from a few pages in a textbook or a brief classroom demonstration. This book helps students understand not only what scientists know, but how they came to know them.

(Paperback)

Provides an understanding of the theoretical foundations for the calculation of electromagnetic processes. This book introduces the methods of the relativistic theory through the use of notions of covariance, to provide a shorter path to the general theory. It is useful for graduates working in astrophysics and in areas of particle physics.

Published here in the original German and French, along with an English translation, the correspondence between Albert Einstein and Elie Cartan includes letters written between 1929 and 1932, after which time Einstein abandoned his unified field theory based on absolute parallelism. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses

Are the problems we define and pursue freely chosen according to our conscious interests Or does the historical process itself determine which phenomena merit examination at any one time This title discusses these issues in the far-ranging philosophical terms, while illustrating them with specific examples.

This book presents a survey of all the forms of energy that shape our world, from the sun to the human body, from bread to microchips.

This is a novel and far reaching polyrhythmic theorisation of our collective living with energy in its many natural and technological forms. It provides a distinctive understanding of the urgent challenges of transforming future energy systems into more just and lower carbon configurations.

Offers a view of the physicist's world. Providing a review of the 20th century's transformation of physics, this work checks in on the findings from particle physics, astrophysics, chaos theory, and cosmology. It explains how superstring theory may unite quantum mechanics with general relativity to produce a consistent quantum theory of gravity.

(Hardback)

Presents an understanding of semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces. This is a study of semiconductor-electrolyte interfacial effects, focusing on the physical and electrochemical foundations that affect surface charge, capacitance, conductance, quantum effects, and other properties, both from the point of view of theoretical modeling and metrology.

This is a long-needed general introduction to the physics and chemistry of the liquid-vapor phase transition of metals. Physicists and physical chemists have made great strides understanding the basic principles involved, and engineers have discovered a wide variety of new uses for fluid metals. Yet there has been no book that brings together the l
