In Space Travel: Ten Short Lessons, Paul Parsons takes us on an exhilarating journey to examine the game-changing discoveries in the history of space exploration that have illuminated the darkest corners of our universe.
From the amazing technology that has enabled us to look beyond the clouds to the development of rockets ......
Solid State Physics provides a broad introduction to some of the principal areas of the physical phenomena in solid materials and is aimed broadly at undergraduate students of physics and engineering related subjects. The physical properties of materials are intimately related to the crystalline symmetry of atoms as well as the atomic Species ......
Time. Gravity. Night. So much of what surrounds us feels familiar and mundane. But each is a wonder that reveals profound insights into the world around us.C. Renée James's whimsical tour of seven everyday experiences -- night, light, stuff, gravity, time, home, and wonder -- opens the universe to fantastical contemplation. Light? Although we need ......
To those of us who are not mathematicians or physicists, Einstein's theory of relativity often seems incomprehensible, exotic, and of little realworld use. None of this is true. Daniel F. Styer's introduction to the topic not only shows us why these beliefs are mistaken but also shines a bright light on the subject so that any curiousminded ......

Explores the various aspects of quantum physics - from the first experiments, through the strange behaviour of 'particles' that can be in many places at once, to the different developments, including quantum string theory.
Creation, Chaos, and the Search for Cosmic Consciousness
The key developments in 20th-century physics, such as the uncertainty principle and the butterfly effect, support the notion that God or a universal mind acts upon material reality. This book provides an incisive analysis of popular theories that seek to link spirituality to physics. It challenges many popular notions of God and spirituality.
