For graduate students unfamiliar with particle physics, An Introductory Course of Particle Physics teaches the basic techniques and fundamental theories related to the subject. It gives students the competence to work out various properties of fundamental particles, such as scattering cross-section and lifetime. The book also gives a lucid summary of the main ideas involved. In giving students a taste of fundamental interactions among elementary particles, the author does not assume any prior knowledge of quantum field theory. He presents a brief introduction that supplies students with the necessary tools without seriously getting into the nitty-gritty of quantum field theory, and then expl...

“An excellent, vividly written” (The Washington Post) account of leadership in wartime that explores how four great democratic statesmen—Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion—worked with the military leaders who served them during warfare. The relationship between military leaders and political leaders has always been a complicated one, especially in times of war. When the chips are down, who should run the show—the politicians or the generals? In Supreme Command, Eliot A. Cohen expertly argues that great statesmen do not turn their wars over to their generals, and then stay out of their way. Great statesmen make better generals of their gener...
The notion of transversity in hadronic physics has been with us for over 25 years. Intriguing though it might have been, for much of that time transversity remained an intangible and remote object, of interest principally to a few theoreticians. In recent years transversity and transverse-spin effects in general have grown as both theoretical and experimental areas of active research. This increasing attention has now matured into a thriving field with a driving force of its own. The ever-growing bulk of data on asymmetries in collisions involving transversely polarised hadrons demands a more solid and coherent theoretical basis for its description. Indeed, it now appears rather clear that t...
The battle in the zombie-ruled world continues. The survivors on the Hanson farm are working on a new future. Tabea McTire, the leader, rushes to the aid of other people in the immediate vicinity. Her young friend Clarisse Stevens experiences love, but also problems and trouble with the adults. She embarks with her comrades on dangerous forays and looting trips to Granby. The living dead are a serious danger here, but nothing compared to a group of brutal outlaws who appear in the small town on the edge of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Clarisse comes upon the trail of a conspiracy, the goal of which is the farm with the survivors. But no one wants to believe her, not even her "sister" Tabea. The criminals' plan threatens to unravel when Clarisse and her friends follow a call for help from Granby in the absence of Tabea. In a dramatic and bloody showdown, the young girl fights in a battle in which there seem to be no survivors...
Using information processing and leadership perception processes the authors provide a much needed analysis of executive leadership, offering a theoretical and empirical basis for analysing this crucial element of organizational behaviour.
This reference handbook tackles issues relevant to leadership in the realm of the environment and sustainability.
