In paperback for the first time, this compact volume presents quantum mechanics for the general reader. It offers a lucid description of the intellectual challenges and disagreements in the study of the behaviour of atomic and sub-atomic particles--a…

James Trefil's popular physics primer chronicles the evolution of atomic theory through the discoveries of such subatomic particles as the quark, the meson, the lepton, and more. An accessible guide for the general reader that reveals the mystery and…

Left, Right and the fall of Parity: This book conveys something of the jubilant mood of the modern physicist as he grapples with anti-worlds, helical structures and molecular spin. It all begins with mirrors: the author uses his knowledge of mirror…

Asimov tells the stories behind the science: the men and women who made the important discoveries and how they did it. Ranging from Galilei, Archimedes, Newton and Einstein, he takes the most complex concepts and explains it in such a way that a…

Completely non-mathematical, yet wholly faithful to the basic concepts of quantum mechanics, this book tells the fascinating story of the most thoroughgoing revolution in physics since Newton. In the first year of the twentieth century, a professor…

In Einstein's Refrigerator, world-renowned physicist Gino Segrè takes us on an extraordinary tour of our bodies, our planet and ultimately the furthest reaches of the universe, using temperature as a guide." "This elegant, charming fusion of science,…

Since Einstein, physicists have been pursuing a holy grail - a single theory that would order all the subatomic particles in the universe and unify the forces of nature. Such a theory would answer questions like: How did the universe begin? What is…

Seeking Ultimates: An Intuitive Guide to Physics, Second Edition takes us on a journey that explores the limits of our scientific knowledge, emphasizing the gaps that are left. The book starts with everyday concepts such as temperature, and proceeds…

This volume describes a new technology based on harnessing the irreducible uncertainty of the quantum world. Quantum technology manipulates nature at the most elementary level. The first chapter gives the essential principles of quantum mechanical…

The myth of a unified theory: A thought-provoking critique of the search for a unified theory that would define the entire physical world traces the history of particle physics and argues that a unified theory would be untestable, as well as a…
