If you are interested in the future prospects of the human race it is good to start with at least a modest understanding of the cosmic basics on which life is built and to that end Marcus Chown's book is a good place to start. It is Quantum Theory…

There are many excellent books on quantum theory from which one can learn to compute energy levels, transition rates, cross sections, etc. The theoretical rules given in these books are routinely used by physicists to compute observable quantities.…

.   De quantumtheorie confronteert ons met bizarre paradoxen die de logische opbouw van de klassieke natuurkunde verstoren. Op het niveau van de subatomen schijnt het ene deeltje precies te weten wat de andere doen, overeenkomstig de eigenschap…

This book is now rather aged, but this is, in its own way, an advantage. Professor Fritzsch, with Murray Gell-Mann, formulated the first QCD theories describing the colour interaction active between quarks. In this book, Fritzsch lays out the inner…

Discusses the principles of physics at work in a variety of everyday occurrences including whirlpools, lightening, waves, warmth, and motion

Concise and practical, this text by a renowned teacher sketches the mathematical background essential to understanding the fundamentals of relativity theory. Subjects include the velocity of light, measurement of time and distance, and properties of…

Reality's Mirror Exploring the Mathematics of Symmetry "Here is a book that explains in laymen language what symmetry is all about, from the lowliest snowflake and flounder to the lofty group structures whose astonishing applications to the Old One…

The light emitted by celestial objects can have its wavelength "stretched" in different ways before it is observed by astronomers. These stretching phenomena are collectively called "redshift". They influence virtually all aspects of astronomy and…

Dit boek dat de speciale en algemene relativiteitstheorie behandelt, is in 1916 geschreven door de opsteller van deze theorie, Albert Einstein. Het is een klassiek boekwerkje in relatief bevattelijke taal over een natuurkundig onderwerp dat in de…
