Force of Nature
'Once again Harper leaves you gagging to know who did what' Evening Standard 'Places Harper in the elevated company of the authors she most admires: Val McDermid, Gillian Flynn and Lee Child' Daily Mail 'Powerful, intriguing and recommended...Harper is wonderful at evoking fear and unease' The Times Is Alice here? Did she make it? Is she safe? In the chaos, in the night, it was impossible to say which of the four had asked after Alice's welfare. Later, when everything got worse, each would insist it had been them. Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side. The hike through the rugged landscape is meant to take th...

Forces of Nature
From the ancient world to the present women have been critical to the progress of science, yet their importance is overlooked, their stories lost, distorted, or actively suppressed. Forces of Nature sets the record straight and charts the fascinating history of women’s discoveries in science. In the ancient and medieval world, women served as royal physicians and nurses, taught mathematics, studied the stars, and practiced midwifery. As natural philosophers, physicists, anatomists, and botanists, they were central to the great intellectual flourishing of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. More recently women have been crucially involved in the Manhattan Project, pioneering sp...

This title provides a breathtaking and beautiful exploration of our planet. The book, which accompanies the BBC1 TV series, provides the deepest answers to the simplest questions.
Fundamental Forces of Nature
Gauge fields are the messengers carrying signals between elementary particles, enabling them to interact with each other. Originating at the level of quarks, these basic interactions percolate upwards, through nuclear and atomic physics, through chemical and solid state physics, to make our everyday world go round. This book tells the story of gauge fields, from Maxwell's 1860 theory of electromagnetism to the 1954 theory of Yang and Mills that underlies the Standard Model of elementary particle theory. In the course of the narration, the author introduces people and events in experimental and theoretical physics that contribute to ideas that have shaped our conception of the physical world.
Forces of Nature
"Since the first edition of the book appeared in 1979 major developments have occurred, with the discovery of yet more particles and the emergence of novel theoretical ideas. Most exciting is the recent progress towards a unified description of the forces of nature, which received a major boost when the so-called W and Z particles were found in 1983. Other promising advances include the study of grand unified theories (GUTs) with their predictions of magnetic monopoles and proton decay, and their sweeping implications for our understanding of the very early stages of the universe."--Page 4 de la couverture.
Understanding Forces of Nature
Physics deals with subjects ranging from how things move to the creation of our universe. This book introduces us to what is being learned about the relationship of gravity, electricity, and magnetism at the subatomic level.

On the Various Forces of Nature and Their Relations to Each Other
Which was first, Matter or Force? If we think on this question, we shall find that we are unable to conceive of matter without force, or of force without matter. When God created the elements of which the earth is composed, He created certain wondrous forces, which are set free, and become evident when matter acts on matter. All these forces, with many differences, have much in common, and if one is set free, it will immediately endeavour to free its companions. Thus, heat will enable us to eliminate light, electricity, magnetism, and chemical action; chemical action will educe light, electricity, and heat. In this way we find that all the forces in nature tend to form mutually dependent sys...
