Special Relativity
Written in an clear and informal style, this text explores the most accessible of the 20th century revolutions in physics. It allows readers to build up physical intuition for what is going on, before presenting concise mathematical descriptions. It contains many applications, ten appendices, and numerous illustrations, examples and problems.
Modern Classical Mechanics
Presents classical mechanics as a thriving field with strong connections to modern physics, with numerous worked examples and homework problems.
Seventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting, The: On Recent Developments In Theoretical And Experimental General Relativity, Gravitation, And Relativistic Field Theories - Proceedings Of The 7th Marcel Grossmann Meeting (In 2 Parts)
Since 1975, the triennial Marcel Grossmann Meetings have been organized in order to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativisitic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions, and experimental tests.The proceedings of the Seventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting include the invited papers given at the plenary sessions, the summaries of the parallel sessions, the contributed papers presented at the parallel sessions, and the evening public lectures.The authors of these papers discuss many of the recent theoretical, observational, and experimental developments that have significant implications for the fields of physics, cosmology, and relativistic astrophysics.
Blue Sky Living
Blue Sky was born out of the ferment of the late 1960s and early 1970s, but it has proved to have much more talent, tenacity and imagination than most other idealistic initiatives from that time. Blue Sky
Semut
March 1945. A handful of young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island's indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most have barely encountered Asian or indigenous people before, speak next to no Borneo languages, and know little about Dayaks, other than that they have been - and may still be - headhunters. They fear that on arrival the Dayaks will kill them or hand them over to the Japanese. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face. So begins the story of Operation Semut, an Australian secret operation launched by the organisation codenamed Servic...
Eighth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, The: On Recent Developments In Theoretical And Experimental General Relativity, Gravitation, And Relativistic Field Theories - Proceedings Of The Meeting (In 2 Parts)
Since 1975, the Marcel Grossmann Meetings have been organized to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativistic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions and experimental tests. The objective of these meetings is to facilitate exchange among scientists that may deepen our understanding of space-time structures and to review the status of ongoing experiments aimed at testing Einstein's theory of gravitation from either the ground or space.The Eighth Marcel Grossmann Meeting took place on 22-27 June, 1997, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. The scientific program included 25 plenary talks and 40 parallel sessions during which 400 papers were presented. The papers that appear in this book cover all aspects of gravitation, from mathematical issues to recent observations and experiments.
The Crash Team
Tom, Sid and Dave are just three ordinary doctors, facing the everyday prospect of being struck off. All three are broken in varying ways. Tom is an alcoholic, Sid's wife despises him and Dave has become a sex addict. It seems a very long time since they all took the Hippocratic Oath. Tom and Dave hail from industrial Northern towns in England whereas Sid's journey starts amongst the lush, green lands of Southern India, where duty and family expectation dictate his direction of travel. Their sudden downfalls begin with a bang, but is there another motive lurking behind in the shadows? There follows a bittersweet tale of outrageous acts, medical mayhem, political intrigue, and personal disast...
Well-being for Public Policy
The authors explain why subjective indicators of well-being are needed, showing how these can offer useful input and giving examples of policy uses of well-being measures. They also describe the validity of the subjective well-being measures as well as potential problems, then delve into objections to their use for policy purposes.
General Relativity and Gravitation
' This authoritative volume provides a snapshot of the state of the art in gravitational physics and related mathematical fields, as well as a review of recent achievements and prospects for future work. With contributing authors among the world leaders in their respective fields, this proceedings volume is a worthy addition to this conference series, which constitutes one of the most important international meetings in the areas general relativity and gravitation. Contents:Towards Detection of Gravitation Waves (B C Barish)Black Holes and The Information Paradox (S Hawking)Probing General Relativity on the Scales of Cosmology (P J E Peebles)Cosmic Superstrings Revisited (J Polchinski)Black ...
