Practical Quantum Mechanics
This work was first published in 1947 in German under the title "Re chenmethoden der Quantentheorie". It was meant to serve a double purpose: to help both, the student when first confronted with quantum mechanics and the experimental scientist, who has never before used it as a tool, to learn how to apply the general theory to practical problems of atomic physics. Since that early date, many excellent books have been written introducing into the general framework of the theory and thus indispensable to a deeper understanding. It seems, however, that the more practical side has been somewhat neglected, except, of course, for the flood of special monographs going into broad detail on rather re...
The Non-Linear Field Theories of Mechanics
This third edition includes the corrections made by the late C. Truesdell in his personal copy. It is annotated by S. Antman who describes the monograph`s genesis and the impact it has made on the modern development of mechanics. Originally published as Volume III/3 of the famous Encyclopedia of Physics in 1965, this book describes and summarizes "everything that was both known and worth knowing in the field at the time." It also has greatly contributed to the unification and standardization of the concepts, terms and notations in the field.
Keeper of the Nuclear Conscience
Joseph Rotblat was the Jewish nuclear scientist whose disillusionment with nuclear weapons encouraged him to become one of the prime architects of the anti-nuclear movement, and resulted in his lifelong efforts to promote social responsibility in science. His founding of Pugwash and his humanitarian work ultimately led to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Rotblat's life, from his boyhood in Warsaw under siege and occupation in World War I to an active old age that brought honours and public recognition, is a compelling human story in itself. What gave it significance is the single-minded dedication to peaceful causes, particularly through his pursuit of nuclear disarmament. A key memb...
Physics and National Socialism
1 Aim and General Description of the Anthology The purpose of this anthology is to introduce the English speaking public to the wide spectrum of texts authored predominently by physicists portraying the ac tual and perceived role of physics in the Nazi state. Up to now no broad and well balanced documentation of German physics during this time has been available in English, despite the significant role physics has played both politically (e. g. , in weaponry planning) and ideologically (e. g. , in the controversy over the value of theoretical ('Jewish') vs. experimental ('Aryan') physics), and even though prominent figures like the scientist-philosopher and emigre Albert Einstein and the con...
The Loki Project
"Ben King has woven a masterpiece of historical fiction. His artful blend of historical facts about Nazi Germany and a masterful writing style has created an exciting suspense-filled thriller about the German nuclear research program of World War II. I could not put down the book." Timothy J. Kutta, military weapons expert and coauthor, Impact: The History of Germany's V Weapons in World War II This exciting third novel by critically acclaimed author Benjamin King asks: What would have happened if Nazi Germany had developed an atomic bomb . . . before America did? Dr. Maximilian Lamm, professor of physics and SS officer, is determined to create an atomic bomb for the Fï¿1/2hrer, whether Hi...
Lawrence and His Laboratory
The Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California, was the birthplace of particle accelerators, radioisotopes, and modern big science. This first volume of its history is a saga of physics and finance in the Great Depression, when a new kind of science was born. Here we learn how Ernest Lawrence used local and national technological, economic, and manpower resources to build the cyclotron, which enabled scientists to produce high-voltage particles without high voltages. The cyclotron brought Lawrence forcibly and permanently to the attention of leaders of international physics in Brussels at the Solvay Congress of 1933. Ever since, the Rad Lab has played a prominent part on the world stage. T...
HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY -Volume III
History and Philosophy of Science and Technology is a component of Encyclopedia of Physical Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The Theme on History and Philosophy of Science and Technology in four volumes covers several topics such as: Introduction to the Philosophy of Science; The Nature and Structure of Scientific Theories Natural Science; A Short History of Molecular Biology; The Structure of the Darwinian Argument In The Origin of Species; History of Measurement Theory; Episodes of XX Century Cosmology: A Historical Approach; Philosophy of Economics; Soci...
The Rational Spirit in Modern Continuum Mechanics
Through his voluminous and in?uential writings, editorial activities, organi- tional leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford - brose Truesdell III (1919–2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of - tional continuum mechanics since the middle of the twentieth century. The present collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. The ?rst ?ve essays by B. D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W. Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays...
General Index / Generalregister
Das vielbändige Handbuch der Physik, herausgegeben von Siegfried Flügge, ist wesentlicher Bestand in jeder einschlägigen Bibliothek. Mit seinen herausragenden, teilweise epochemachenden Beiträgen, den umfassenden Überblicken und zahllosen Faktensammlungen stellt es weiterhin eine erstklassige Referenzquelle und ein unerschöpfliches Nachschlagewerk dar. Das nunmehr vorliegende, lange verlangte Generalregister vervollständigt das Handbuch und macht über gemeinsame Autoren- und Sachregister den Inhalt aller 54 Bände auf einfache Weise zugänglich. Damit gehört das Generalregister in die Bibliothek jedes Physikinstitutes als Orientierungshilfe und unentbehrliches Arbeitsmittel.
