The Holstein Diamonds

Everyone has heard the old adage twos a couple, threes a crowd. But four greedy German soldiers in 1942, all after the same elusive fortune in diamonds? Honor among thieves? Who mentioned anything about honor? Would there even be a last man standing after the smoke cleared and the international intrigue ended? And just why did these murderers flee all the way from Germany to Lenoir County, North Carolina? Just another baffling mystery waiting to be sorted out by longtime Lenoir County District Attorney Newt Wildman and his intrepid investigators. Welcome to another gripping Coastal Plains Mystery, the tenth in the series.

Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long Range Interactions

  • Publisher: Springer

Properties of systems with long range interactions are still poorly understood despite being of importance in most areas of physics. The present volume introduces and reviews the effort of constructing a coherent thermodynamic treatment of such systems by combining tools from statistical mechanics with concepts and methods from dynamical systems. Analogies and differences between various systems are examined by considering a large range of applications, with emphasis on Bose--Einstein condensates. Written as a set of tutorial reviews, the book will be useful for both the experienced researcher as well as the nonexpert scientist or postgraduate student.

The Battle of Prokhorovka

The Battle of Kursk was one of the defining moments of World War II. In July 1943, German forces under Erich von Manstein--one of Germany’s best generals--launched a massive attack in an offensive code-named Citadel. A week later, the Soviets counterattacked, sparking a huge clash of tanks at Prokhorovka, the largest armor battle in history, pitting more than 600 Soviet tanks against some 300 German panzers. Though the Germans gained a tactical victory, destroying huge numbers of Soviet tanks, they failed to achieve their objectives, and in the end the battle marked a turning point on the Eastern Front. The Red Army gained the strategic initiative and would not lose it.

Before It Breaks

Winner: 2016 Australian Crime Writers Association, Ned Kelly Award, Best Crime Novel Detective Inspector Daniel Clement is back in Broome, the tropical town where he grew up, licking his wounds from a busted marriage and struggling to be impressed by his new team of small-town, inexperienced cops. But stagnation and lethargy soon give way to a case with urgent purpose. On the edge of the desert, a man is found dead in a crocodile-infested watering hole. And he is only the first. The connection between the victims is elusive, but Clement must pursue it as a decades-old mystery begins to unravel and a monster cyclone brews on the horizon.

Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long Range Interactions: Theory and Experiments

The workshop was about the developments of the thermodynamical and dynamical behavior of many-body systems in which the interactions decay very slowly with the distance: they present very strange properties, not found in the other systems. The possibility of testing the theoretical ideas in laboratory systems was the most innovative issue.

Microcanonical Thermodynamics

Boltzmann's formula S = In(W(E) defines the microcanonical ensemble. The usual textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to the canonical ensemble introduced by Gibbs. This has the main advantage of easier analytical calculations, but there is a price to pay -- for example, phase transitions can only be defined in the thermodynamic limit of infinite system size. The question how phase transitions show up from systems with, say, 100 particles with an increasing number towards the bulk can only be answered when one finds a way to define and classify phase transitions in small systems. This is all possible within Boltzmann's original definition of...
