Quasi-adiabatic theory has broad applications across disciplines, from quantum computing and cosmology to materials science and atomic physics. This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to quasi-adiabatic effects and their applications. In modern physics, the...
Albert Einstein had two lifelong passions, physics and music: this is the story of Einstein's life told through these twin lenses. Thoughtfully and rigorously illustrating the ways in which Einstein's musical life and personal and scientific life were mutually...
Science, Religion, and the Human Future: Conflict, Collusion, and Consequences demonstrates that the myth of an inevitable conflict between science and faith is based on a misunderstanding of history, with potentially adverse consequences for human futures. The work...
The last twenty years have seen an extraordinary development and application of new modelling concepts and powerful simulation tools in the field of polymers, which have dramatically extended our understanding of structure-property relationships and impacted the design...
Quantum Hydrodynamics and Turbulence is an essential textbook for graduate students and scientists exploring the intricate physics of superfluid helium and atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). This comprehensive guide, written by leading experts, bridges the gap...
Dutch physicist and master experimenter Pieter Zeeman (1865 – 1943) was a key figure in 20th Century physics. Together with Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1902 for his discovery of the effect named after him which describes the influence of...
The Savilian Professorships in Astronomy and Geometry at Oxford University were founded in 1619 by Sir Henry Savile, distinguished scholar and Warden of Merton College.The Astronomy professorship, in particular, is the earliest University-based chair of astronomy in...
Waves are ubiquitous in nature. Waves: An Introduction for Physicists and Engineers focuses primarily on the classical fields of elasticity, fluid mechanics, and electrodynamics, also exploring waves in biology, chemistry, and modern physics, such as waves in quantum...
Our modern standard of living depends on the transformation of energy from sources like fossil fuels, atomic nuclei, the sun, and wind into usable forms. This book examines the fundamental physics behind energy use that is crucial in our daily lives. Amid widespread...
Soil organisms are largely out of sight and mind. Yet, soil is home to a staggering 59% of all species on Earth; species that act as major drivers of the structure and functioning of our vital terrestrial ecosystems. Our understanding of this hidden diversity still lags...
Science denialism - fuelled by mis/disinformation - is a global existential crisis that erodes social cohesion and our collective capacity to confront crises like climate change, transform energy systems, and curtail pandemics. Despite scientific breakthroughs,...
Almost every trait in nature shows variation, both within populations and between populations and species. The field of quantitative genetics is the very broad umbrella that attempts to separate environmental from genetic sources of variation. As a result, it has...
This textbook provides the first comprehensive overview of synchrotron physics at an introductory level, covering the fundamental underpinning physics, and combining rigorous treatment of the main concepts with a fresh outlook, rich in images and graphics. Aimed at...
We can all play a part in triggering positive tipping points that accelerate us out of the climate crisis. How do we get out of a climate crisis of our own making? As global change escalates, we are already starting to experience damaging tipping points in the...
Everyone Flows starts with an ancient and fundamental philosophical question: whether we live in a world of things, stable, autonomous, and with sharp boundaries, or a world of processes in flux, in which stabilities are only transient and processes are inextricably...
The troubled history of the Hubble constant told in an authoritative, comprehensible, and entertaining manner In 1927 Georges Lemaître argued that our universe is expanding, a conclusion rendered more startling by the astronomical data that backed it up, presented two...
The doctorate process can seem complicated and daunting in a young academic's career. Whether you are starting your doctoral studies or planning your next steps, this guide offers clear, actionable advice for success in academia and beyond. The Doctorate Blueprint is a...
