Semi-Riemannian Geometry
An introduction to semi-Riemannian geometry as a foundation for general relativity Semi-Riemannian Geometry: The Mathematical Language of General Relativity is an accessible exposition of the mathematics underlying general relativity. The book begins with background on linear and multilinear algebra, general topology, and real analysis. This is followed by material on the classical theory of curves and surfaces, expanded to include both the Lorentz and Euclidean signatures. The remainder of the book is devoted to a discussion of smooth manifolds, smooth manifolds with boundary, smooth manifolds with a connection, semi-Riemannian manifolds, and differential operators, culminating in applications to Maxwell’s equations and the Einstein tensor. Many worked examples and detailed diagrams are provided to aid understanding. This book will appeal especially to physics students wishing to learn more differential geometry than is usually provided in texts on general relativity.
Particle Physics: a Very Short Introduction
Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, Frank Close has produced this major revision to his classic and compelling introduction to the fundamental particles that make up the universe.
Modern Physics and Ancient Faith
A considerable amount of public debate and media print has been devoted to the “war between science and religion.” In his accessible and eminently readable new book, Stephen M. Barr demonstrates that what is really at war with religion is not science itself, but a philosophy called scientific materialism. Modern Physics and Ancient Faith argues that the great discoveries of modern physics are more compatible with the central teachings of Christianity and Judaism about God, the cosmos, and the human soul than with the atheistic viewpoint of scientific materialism. Scientific materialism grew out of scientific discoveries made from the time of Copernicus up to the beginning of the twentiet...
Stephen Hawking
The revolutionary scientist who has not let Lou Gehrig's disease interfere with his discovery of black holes and other cosmic phenomena.
Directory and Survey of Particle Physicists
A survey and census of particle physicists employed in the U.S., commissioned by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, NSF, and the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society. The survey was conducted in 1995, with an update of the census in April 1997. The full survey questionnaires are shown. The primary one was addressed to individual particle physicists, while the secondary one was addressed to principal investigators and sought information about people leaving the field. Extensive directory information.

Directory of Physics, Astronomy & Geophysics Staff 1997
Here is the most complete directory of physics organizations in the United States -- professional, degree-granting, and research. It is a veritable "Who's Who" of institutions and individuals in the physical sciences. Listed are: - North American academic institutions and departments granting degrees in physics and related fields - Industrial research-and-development centers, small R&D companies, consulting Firms, and professional practices - Federally funded R&D centers and government agencies - University-affiliated and other research institutes - Hospitals, medical schools, and other institutions Department staff listings, with individual addresses and e-mail, are provided. The DIRECTORY also contains the most complete listing of physical sciences professional societies throughout the world, with approximately twice as many verified entries as any other directory.
