Mysteries of the Quantum Universe
The bestselling French graphic novel about the wonders of quantum physics Join Bob the explorer and his dog Rick on a rip-roaring trip through the quantum universe as they meet Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger and many other scientists who encourage them to uncover the mysteries of physics with the help of pancakes, cats, mice and all kinds of optical illusions. Marvellous fun and absolutely enthralling, Mysteries of the Quantum Universe is full of surprises - perfect for lovers of comics and all geeks.
Gravitation and Experiment
This book offers a detailed, pedagogical introduction to general relativity. It includes a review of what may lie beyond and collects up-to-date essays on the experimental tests of this theory, including the precise timing of the double pulsar J0737-3039. Coverage also details the recent results of the Gravity Probe B mission.
Once Upon Einstein
It is well known that Einstein founded twentieth-century physics with his work on relativity and quanta, but what do we really know about these ground breaking ideas? How were they discovered? What should we retain today from the conceptual upheavals he initiated? Through a selection of concrete scenes taken from Einstein's life, the author offers
Einstein, 1905-2005
This book is the fourth in a series of lectures of the S ́ eminaire Poincar ́ e,whichis directed towards a large audience of physicists and of mathematicians. The goal of this seminar is to provide up-to-date information about general topics of great interest in physics. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects are covered, with some historical background. Inspired by the Bourbaki seminar in mathematics in its organization, hence nicknamed “Bourbaphi”, the Poincar ́ e Seminar is held twice a year at the Institut Henri Poincar ́ e in Paris, with cont- butions prepared in advance. Particular care is devoted to the pedagogical nature of the presentations so as to ful?ll the goal of...

Theory
Relativistic celestial mechanics – investigating the motion celestial bodies under the influence of general relativity – is a major tool of modern experimental gravitational physics. With a wide range of prominent authors from the field, this two-volume series consists of reviews on a multitude of advanced topics in the area of relativistic celestial mechanics – starting from more classical topics such as the regime of asymptotically-flat spacetime, light propagation and celestial ephemerides, but also including its role in cosmology and alternative theories of gravity as well as modern experiments in this area. This first volume of a two-volume series is concerned with theoretical fou...
From Fields To Strings: Circumnavigating Theoretical Physics: Ian Kogan Memorial Collection (In 3 Vols)
This volume is a collection of dedicated reviews covering all aspects of theoretical high energy physics and some aspects of solid state physics. Some of the papers are broad reviews of topics that span the entire field while others are surveys of authors' personal achievements. This is the most comprehensive review collection reflecting state of the art at the end of 2004. An important and unique aspect is a special effort the authors have invested in making the presentation pedagogical.

Special Relativity in General Frames
Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat physical effects such as the Thomas precession or the Sagnac effect in a simple yet precise manner. In the final chapters, more advanced topics like tensorial fields in spacetime, exterior calculus and relativistic hydrodynamics are addressed. In the last, brief chapter the author gives a preview of g...
Si Einstein m'était conté (NE)
NOUVELLE EDITION On sait qu'Einstein a créé la physique du XXe siècle par ses travaux sur la relativité et les quanta. Mais que sait-on vraiment des idées essentielles apportées par Einstein ? Comment les a-t-il trouvées ? Que doit-on retenir aujourd'hui des bouleversements conceptuels inaugurés par lui ? À travers le choix de scènes concrètes de la vie d'Einstein, ce livre donne à voir la formation de ses théories. Il nous entraîne aussi dans une réflexion sur leur impact philosophique. Comment penser le temps après la théorie de la relativité, qui enlève tout sens au " maintenant " et montre que des jumeaux peuvent ne pas avoir le même âge ? Comment penser la réalité alors que la théorie quantique prédit que des objets spatialement séparés restent liés dans un " enchevêtrement " indiqué par Einstein et dont les conséquences observables ont été récemment vérifiées ? Le livre accompagne Einstein le long de sa vie et de son œuvre scientifique, et nous rappelle les applications journalières de ses idées : du principe du laser au système de positionnement par satellites en passant par la dispersion des aérosols dans l'atmosphère.
