The Forces of Matter is a series of six scientific lectures by author and scientist Michael Faraday. Faraday, who was known as a popularizer of science presents lectures around the topics of gravitation, cohesion, chemical affinity, heat, magnetism and electricity.
This text emphasizes logic and the theory of sets. Students who take no further courses in the field will find it an excellent resource for developing an appreciation for the nature of mathematics. Others will discover the foundations for future studies — set theory, logic, counting, numbers, functions, and more. 1968 edition. 43 figures. 25 tables.
Accessible to graduate students and experimental physicists, this volume emphasizes physical arguments and minimizes theoretical formalism. Topics include the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and Ginzburg-Landau theories, magnetic properties of classic type II superconductors, the Josephson effect, fluctuation effects in classic superconductors, high-temperature superconductors, and nonequilibrium superconductivity. 109 figures. 1996 edition.
Self-taught chemist and scientist Michael Faraday was one of the most prolific and prescient researchers to emerge from England in the nineteenth century. In this captivating collection of talks and lectures, Faraday sets forth some of his most influential theories, findings, and conjectures.
Originally published in the 1980s as comic books, these interrelated stories visualize life at the turn of the 21st century, when a lone government agent investigates the truth behind environmental degradation. Hardcover edition with new ending and more bonus material. Suggested for mature readers.
Complete first course covers basic techniques, line work, shading, tone, perspective, composition, even fixing, mounting, and framing. Engaging, easy-to-follow text enhanced with 155 unusually interesting illustrations, ranging from a Roman cavalry helmet, a sleeping baby, and Venetian gondolas to palm trees, a London church, and Windsor Castle.
Based on undergraduate courses in advanced calculus, the treatment covers a wide range of topics, from soft functional analysis and finite-dimensional linear algebra to differential equations on submanifolds of Euclidean space. 1976 edition.
Throughout the twentieth century, especially during wartime and the Cold War, intelligence agents routinely used the media to publish and broadcast material that would deceive external enemies, thwart domestic subversion or simply to change the way readers thought about fascism or communism. Today stories are chanelled to journalists in order to promote a news agenda deemed favourable to MI5, MI6 or to the CIA, or to 'spin' the coverage of key issues. Investigative reporters often have a more adversarial relationship with the security services, seeing them as over-mighty agents of the state who should be subjected to forensic scrutiny of what they get up too - allegedly for the public good. ...
The Routledge Companion to Intelligence Studies provides a broad overview of the growing field of intelligence studies. The recent growth of interest in intelligence and security studies has led to an increased demand for popular depictions of intelligence and reference works to explain the architecture and underpinnings of intelligence activity. Divided into five comprehensive sections, this Companion provides a strong survey of the cutting-edge research in the field of intelligence studies: Part I: The evolution of intelligence studies; Part II: Abstract approaches to intelligence; Part III: Historical approaches to intelligence; Part IV: Systems of intelligence; Part V: Contemporary chall...
