The Abcs Of High-pressure Science
Written by the famous High-Pressure scientist of the Russian Academy of Sciences, The ABCs of High-Pressure Science contains brief information explaining the terms and concepts adopted by professionals involved in research in the field of high pressure, be it physics, geology, chemistry, or technology. The book also includes brief biographical essays describing activities of the outstanding scientists who largely determined the current state of high-pressure science. The book is organized in the form of short chapters or notes in alphabetical order, so a search of the necessary information is not difficult. The ABCs is intended for young scientists, graduate students, and students; nevertheless, well-established scientists can also find useful information here. Finally, The ABCs of High-Pressure Science is not a reference book and is designed to ensure that the reader can easily find the needed information from the Internet.
History of Shock Waves, Explosions and Impact
This unique and encyclopedic reference work describes the evolution of the physics of modern shock wave and detonation from the earlier and classical percussion. The history of this complex process is first reviewed in a general survey. Subsequently, the subject is treated in more detail and the book is richly illustrated in the form of a picture gallery. This book is ideal for everyone professionally interested in shock wave phenomena.
Impact Cratering
Impact cratering is arguably the most ubiquitous geological process in the Solar System. It has played an important role in Earth’s history, shaping the geological landscape, affecting the evolution of life, and generating economic resources. However, it was only in the latter half of the 20th century that the importance of impact cratering as a geological process was recognized and only during the past couple of decades that the study of meteorite impact structures has moved into the mainstream. This book seeks to fill a critical gap in the literature by providing an overview text covering broad aspects of the impact cratering process and aimed at graduate students, professionals and researchers alike. It introduces readers to the threat and nature of impactors, the impact cratering process, the products, and the effects – both destructive and beneficial. A series of chapters on the various techniques used to study impact craters provide a foundation for anyone studying impact craters for the first time.
Phase Transitions For Beginners
Written by an experimentalist famous for his discovery of stishovite, with vast experience in phase transition studies, this book is devoted to a description of the continuous and discontinuous phase transitions. It includes chapters outlining the Van der Waals model, hard sphere and soft sphere models of melting, scaling phenomena, renormgroup approach to phase transitions, and experimental examples to illustrate various phase transitions.Unlike conventional books covering the same topic, this is meant for undergraduate students and experimentalists to understand basic concepts in the physics of phase transitions.
The Secret Lives of Planets
'A deft, frequently dramatic tour' Nature 'A wonderfully clear and readable book . . . Gives a splendid overview of our Sun's planetary system, including its history and exploration' Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell * We have the impression that the solar system is perfectly regular like a clock, or a planetarium instrument. On a short timescale it is. But, seen in a longer perspective, the planets, and their satellites, have exciting lives, full of events - for example, did you know that Saturn's moon, Titan, boasts lakes which contain liquid methane surrounded by soaring hills and valleys, exactly as the earth did before life evolved on our fragile planet? Or that Mercury is the shyest planet? Or, that Mars' biggest volcano is 100 times the size of Earth's, or that its biggest canyon is 10 times the depth of the Grand Canyon, or that it wasn't always red, but blue? The culmination of a lifetime of astronomy and wonder, Paul Murdin's enchanting new book reveals everything you ever wanted to know about the planets, their satellites, and our place in the solar system.

World Directory of Crystallographers
The 9th edition of the World Directory of Crystallographers and of Other Scientists Employing Crystallographic Methods, which contains 7907 entries embracing 72 countries, differs considerably from the 8th edition, published in 1990. The content has been updated, and the methods used to acquire the information presented and to produce this new edition of the Directory have involved the latest advances in technology. The Directory is now also available as a regularly updated electronic database, accessible via e-mail, Telnet, Gopher, World-Wide Web, and Mosaic. Full details are given in an Appendix to the printed edition.
Antinomie
"Das Kopfkino läuft auf Hochtouren, und das Finale ist – im besten Sinne des Wortes – mindblowing. Vogt liefert ein Spektakel, das völlig überwältigt." Buchkomet 1961. Während der Kalte Krieg zwischen den USA und der UdSSR eskaliert, tobt in einer abgelegenen Region Iowas ein mysteriöser Sturm, der Tod und Unruhe verbreitet. Gleichzeitig steigt ohne ersichtlichen Grund die radioaktive Hintergrundstrahlung der Erde – die Welt scheint aus den Fugen zu geraten. Die Gegenwart. Seltsame und gefährliche Anomalien, die den Naturgesetzen widersprechen, treten weltweit auf. Die Geheimorganisation SUP, die seit dem sogenannten „Black Storm“ ermittelt, ist einer bedrohlichen Wahrheit auf der Spur. Jan Morgen, ein junger Mann aus dem Schwarzwald, gerät ins Visier der SUP, als er auf unerklärliche Weise seltsame Fähigkeiten entwickelt. Während er versucht, die Rätsel seiner Vergangenheit zu lösen, mehren sich die Anzeichen für eine globale Katastrophe, die die Grenzen der Realität sprengen könnte.
