Another Time, Another Place is about an ordinary man, who, through a skydiving accident, is transported back in time and finds himself in 1916. He doesn't know quite how he got there or how to get back to his own time. So he must make the most of his situation. He arrives there less than one year before the United States enters the war. He meets several soon-to-be great men of early aviation.With the knowledge of late twentieth century technology, he persuades them to build a light...

Nuclear Science and Technology, Volume 2: Neutron Physics provides information pertinent to neutron and reactor physics. This book presents a discussion of the general area of energy sources, surveying the fusion problem. Organized into 16 chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the broad range of other research related to nuclear technology, radiation effects, solid state work, chemistry, and materials research. This book then examines the experimental data for the cross sections...

King expands, with diagrams, on how free energy and anti-gravity are possible. The theories of zero point energy maintain there are tremendous fluctuations of electrical field energy embedded within the fabric of space. King explains the following topics: Tapping the Zero-Point Energy as an Energy Source; Fundamentals of a Zero-Point Energy Technology; Vacuum Energy Vortices; The Super Tube; Charge Clusters: The Basis of Zero-Point Energy Inventions; Vortex Filaments, Torsion Fields and the Z...

"Physics is all around us. It is in the electric light you turn on in the morning; the car you drive to work; your wristwatch, cell phone, CD player, radio, and that big plasma TV set you got for Christmas. It makes the stars shine every night and the sun shine every day, and it makes a baseball soar into the stands for a home run.Physics is the science of matter, energy, space, and time. It explains ordinary matter as combinations of a dozen fundamental particles (quarks and lepton...

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.Feynman Simplified 1C covers about a quarter of Volume 1, the freshman course, of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:Einstein’s Theory of Specia...

The retreaters will be thrown for a loop this time, learning the trendy art of arm knitting and finger crocheting.But not everyone is enthusiastic about trying something new, and Casey is forced to come u...

A classic Star Trek tie-in, The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition collects the infamous laws of profit that define the galaxy’s most ruthless—and successful—alien capitalists.Greedy, avaricious, cowardly, and completely unscrupulous, the Ferengi live by a simple creed: profit above all else. For centuries, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition have guided generations of traders, merchants, and opportunists across the Star Trek universe, shaping interstellar...

X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) is a powerful and versatile technique for studying structures of materials in chemistry, physics, biology and other fields. This textbook is a comprehensive, practical guide to carrying out and interpreting XAFS experiments. Assuming only undergraduate-level physics and mathematics, the textbook is ideally suited for graduate students in physics and chemistry starting XAFS-based research. It contains concise executable example programs in...

This second edition of the book, initially written as an introductory text dealing with how electric currents behave at the nanometer scale, begins with a general description of electric currents at the macroscale. Then by considering the physical length scales relevant to electron flow, it is observed how the behavior of currents varies as they approach the nanoscale. A quantum description of electric current is covered as well as its relevance, with particular reference to defects, grain...
