Something small slips into a home and is quickly dismissed. A minor bite, a strange sound, nothing worth worrying about. But a week later, a husband hears a change in his wife’s voice—a note that does not belong to her—and something begins to answer it.At first, it feels like imagination. Then it becomes a pattern. The same sound draws something closer. It follows her. It hides in her hair. It listens when she sings. What begins as unease turns into a private dread that he cannot s...

An account of Max Planck’s construction of his theory of blackbody radiation, summarizing the established physics on which he drew.In the last year of the nineteenth century, Max Planck constructed a theory of blackbody radiation—the radiation emitted and absorbed by nonreflective bodies in thermal equilibrium with one another—and his work ushered in the quantum revolution in physics. In this book, three physicists trace Planck’s discovery. They follow the trail of...

An accessible exploration of a notoriously difficult subject, this "gem of physics pedagogy . . . should be required reading for all courses on thermodynamics" (Robert C. Hilborn, University of Texas at Dallas).Presenting classical thermodynamics as a concise and discrete whole, Mere Thermodynamics is a perfect tool for teaching the theory's central concepts and methods. The book features end-of-chapter practice problems, an appendix of worked problems, a g...

This "lucid, masterfully written introduction to an often difficult subject . . . belongs on the bookshelf of every student of statistical physics" (Dr. Brian J. Albright, Applied Physics Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory).This book provides an accessible introduction to stochastic processes in physics and describes the basic mathematical tools of the trade: probability, random walks, and Wiener and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. With an emphasis on applicatio...

Lost Sci-Fi Books 361 thru 365 brings together five unforgettable stories from the daring era when science fiction magazines pushed imagination into darker territory.These tales move from deep space warnings to strange discoveries hidden far from civilization. Scientists, explorers, and ordinary people stumble into situations that quickly spiral beyond control. What begins as curiosity soon becomes a struggle to understand forces far older, stranger, or more danger...

This introduction to dimensional analysis covers the methods, history and formalisation of the field, and provides physics and engineering applications. Covering topics from mechanics, hydro- and electrodynamics to thermal and quantum physics, it illustrates the possibilities and limitations of dimensional analysis. Introducing basic physics and fluid engineering topics through the mathematical methods of dimensional analysis, this book is perfect for students in physics, engineering and m...

This book provides an accessible introduction to stochastic processes in physics and describes the basic mathematical tools of the trade: probability, random walks, and Wiener and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. It includes end-of-chapter problems and emphasizes applications.An Introduction to Stochastic Processes in Physics builds directly upon early-twentieth-century explanations of the "peculiar character in the motions of the particles of pollen in water" as described, i...

Striving to explore the subject in as simple a manner as possible, this book helps readers understand the elusive concept of entropy. Innovative aspects of the book include the construction of statistical entropy from desired properties, the derivation of the entropy of classical systems from purely classical assumptions, and a statistical thermodynamics approach to the ideal Fermi and ideal Bose gases. Derivations are worked through step-by-step and important applications are highlighted ...
