"Blurb & Contents" This collection of articles covers the "quiet revolution" that took place in quantum optics in the 1980s. Explores far-reaching repercussions in methods of light field generation, propagation, and detection in the quantum rather than in the classical regime. Quantum effects in photon interference.

A superb review of methods of radio frequency heating in large plasma

"Physics of Cryocrystals offers the first comprehensive treatment of molecular cryosolids. Detailed tables and graphs of molecular parameters, essential thermodynamic data, and lattice-dynamic data serve to make Physics of Cryocrystals an invaluable sourcebook."

This engagingly written book introduces the field and provides important information for those making low temperature measurements. Fundamental thermodynamic considerations are covered at the start and the book concludes with commercial applications and an appendix on laser cooling.

Market: Graduate students and researchers in physical kinetics, hydrodynamics, and plasma and solid state physics.

One need not always agree, but one cannot come away without a better education....I found the parts on scientific administration and on the interaction of science and society excellent and provocative reading, and the parts on energy and nuclear energy very much to the point."

Teaching Introductory Physics gives you access to the cumulative expertise of the world's most dedicated physics instructors-not just Professor Swartz and Miner, but many of the contributors and subscribers to the Physics Teacher.

Bringing together the contributions of eleven leading photometric experts, this practical reference guide presents common design formulas, essential rules-of-thumb, worked-out examples, and discussions of photometric instruments.

This book reports on the timely Earth Observing System (EOS) Program's wide range of scientific investigations, observational capabilities, vast data and information system, and educational activities.

Market: Researchers and graduate students in high energy physics, physics historians.

Beginning with the basic operating principles of quadrupole devices, the book moves from general explanations of the actions of radio-frequency fields to descriptions of their utilization in quadrupole mass filters, monopoles, three-dimensional quadrupole ion traps, and various time-of -flight spectrometers.

"The dominant figures of postwar astrophysical cosmology have been the late Yakov Ze'ldovich, of Moscow, and Jim Peebles, of Princeton. Dr. Silk has taken these writings from pieces written over the years, many commissioned to highlight a new look at a new discovery in cosmology.

"This annotated, chronological bibliography presents key material _including excerpts_from 500 of the most influential theoretical papers and experimental discoveries in particle physics, many of which have been cited for the Nobel prize.

Market: Ocean dynamicists and acousticians. Following an introduction on ocean variability, acoustic propagation, and coupled models, subsequent chapters present up-to-date coverage of the developing relationship between ocean science and ocean acoustics, including an extensive review of state-of-the-art three-dimensional models.

Alvin Weinberg is one of the most influential nuclear engineers & physicists in the U.S., having participated in many high profile projects from the early days of nuclear research on into the 1980s.

Wormholes, spacewarps, timewarps and time machines have permeated popular culture. This technical monograph looks at the science behind the science fiction, covering the history and theories of wormholes, spacewarps, and time travel.

This popular book introduces the ideas, terminology, and techniques of high-energy physics. Insights into the structure of matter from the atom down to the quark are made accessible to readers who have no physics background. "With hardly a mathematical formula, Ms.

"Blurb & Contents" The wave optics of ultrashort pulses--an area experiencing rapid growth--is closely scrutinized in this completely up-to-date survey, which emphasizes new problems connected with the propagation of the shortest possible pulses. Contents: Short Optical Pulses in Linear Dispersive Media.

Physics of Climate offers you an in-depth description of atmospheric circulation and how environmental phenomena worldwide interact in a single, unified system. This integrated approach unites all the key features of the climate system--oceans, atmosphere, and cryosphere--to explain the structure and behavior of climate over time.
