The essential beginner's guide to string theory The Little Book of String Theory offers a short, accessible, and entertaining introduction to one of the most talked-about areas of physics today. String theory has been called the "theory of everything." It seeks to describe all the fundamental forces of nature. It encompasses gravity and quantum mechanics in one unifying theory. But it is unproven and fraught with controversy. After reading this book, you'll be able to draw your own conclusions about string theory. Steve Gubser begins by explaining Einstein's famous equation E = mc2, quantum mechanics, and black holes. He then gives readers a crash course in string theory and the core ideas b...
Contributors describe innovations in structural and cryocooler materials and in superconductors, featuring discussions on: mechanical and physical properties nickel-based alloys, austentic alloys and steels; development, properties, and testing of insulation materials and coatings; polymers, composites, and epoxies; properties and processing of aluminum and copper alloys; thermal and mechanical properties; applications and processing of high-temperature superconductors and coated conductors; and low-temperature superconductors (NbTi and A-15 compounds, ac losses, stability, current distribution, and coupling currents in Rutherford cables).

The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
Some vols. include supplemental journals of "such proceedings of the sessions, as, during the time they were depending, were ordered to be kept secret, and respecting which the injunction of secrecy was afterwards taken off by the order of the House."
