(Hardback, Main)

A theoretical physics manual for modern wizards - an irreverent take on serious physics for popular science fans and sci-fi enthusiasts alike.

(Hardback, Main)

An epic, full-colour visual journey through all scales of the universe - from the largest to the smallest.

The description for this book, Contributions to the Theory of Nonlinear Oscillations (AM-20), Volume I, will be forthcoming.

(Paperback)

These two new collections, numbers 28 and 29 respectively in the Annals of Mathematics Studies, continue the high standard set by the earlier Annals Studies 20 and 24 by bringing together important contributions to the theories of games and of nonlinear differential equations.

In this book, Robert Israel considers classical and quantum lattice systems in terms of equilibrium statistical mechanics. He is especially concerned with the characterization of translation-invariant equilibrium states by a variational principle and the use of convexity in studying these states. Arthur Wightman's Introduction gives a general and h

Presents articles which are based on invited talks presented at a conference honoring Nobel laureate Philip W Anderson of Princeton University, who coined the phrase "More is different". This title covers numerous topics under the umbrellas of superconductivity, superfluidity, magnetism, electron localization, and interacting electronic systems.

(Hardback)

Explains the origins and development of modern physical concepts about matter. This book examines two of the earliest known theories about matter - the atomic theory, which attributed all physical phenomena to atoms and their motion in the void, and the theory of the elements, which described matter as consisting of earth, air, fire, and water.

(Paperback)

Exploring the origins and implications of sudden changes in nature and society, this title examines different dynamical behaviors in a range of complex systems. Using a set of examples, from gene networks and ant colonies to human language and the degradation of diverse ecosystems, it reveals how phase transitions occur.

(Paperback)

Introduces plasma physics from the ground up, presenting it as a comprehensible field that can be grasped largely on the basis of physical intuition and qualitative reasoning, similar to other fields of physics. This book is intended for graduate students as well as for working astrophysicists.

(Hardback)

Because of the high symmetry involved, the Jahn-Teller effect is the natural starting point for considering electron-phonon (or vibronic) interactions in icosahedral molecules. This work presents a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the Jahn-Teller interaction in C60 and other icosahedral complexes.

(Hardback)

This graduate-level textbook is the first pedagogical synthesis of the field of topological insulators and superconductors, one of the most exciting areas of research in condensed matter physics. Presenting the latest developments, while providing all the calculations necessary for a self-contained and complete description of the discipline, it is

(Paperback, First Edition, First ed.)

Comprising two classic essays by experts on the mathematical theories of elasticity and plasticity, this volume is noteworthy for its contributions by Russian authors and others previously unrecognized in Western literature. 1958 edition.

(Paperback, Main)

An esoteric take on serious physics for intellectuals and sci fi enthusiasts alike

(Hardback)

An introduction to the area of condensed matter in a nutshell. This textbook covers the standard topics, including crystal structures, energy bands, phonons, optical properties, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, and magnetism.

(Hardback)

This book presents an authoritative and in-depth treatment of potential energy landscape theory, a powerful analytical approach to describing the atomic and molecular interactions in condensed-matter phenomena. Drawing on the latest developments in the computational modeling of many-body systems, Frank Stillinger applies this approach to a diverse

In the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang lingers a question at the heart of our very existence: why does the universe contain matter but almost no antimatter The laws of physics tell us that equal amounts of matter and antimatter were produced in the early universe--but then something odd happened. Matter won out over antimatter; had
