The Fermi Solution
The Fermi Solution is a collection of dramatic tales bristling with subplots, vivid characters and suspenseful twists and turns. Its subjects range across the spectrum of physical science, from the monumental to the enigmatic, such as crystals with…
The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue, Volume 2: Mainly Electomagnetism and Matter (Feynman Lectures on Physics)
This three-volume work was originally designed for a two-year introductory physics course given at the California Institute of Technology-a course designed to take advantage of students' increasing mathematical prowess and to provide a more…
The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue, Volume 3: Quantum Mechanics (Feynman Lectures on Physics)

The fourth state of matter
Plasma physics may hold the key to a virtually inexhaustible future energy source through the control of thermonuclear reactions. The complexity of plasma physics makes it a difficult subject to write about in popular terms, but the authors of The…
The future of theoretical physics and cosmology
Based on lectures given in honor of Stephen Hawking's 60th birthday, this book comprises contributions from the world's leading theoretical physicists. Popular lectures progress to a critical evaluation of more advanced subjects in modern cosmology…
The ghost in the atom
Anybody who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it. Niels Bohr's dictum bears witness to the bewildering impact of quantum theory, flying in the face of classical physics and dramatically transforming scientists' outlook on our…
The great design
Although modern physics surrounds us, its concepts constantly referred to in every newspaper, even educated non-scientists find the subject intimidating in the extreme. Most attempts to explain physics to general readers are either obscured by masses…
The grip of gravity
Gravity is one of the most inexplicable forces of nature, controlling everything, from the expansion of the Universe to the ebb and flow of ocean tides. The search for the laws of motion and gravitation began more than two thousand years ago, a quest…
The lightness of being
Our understanding of nature's deepest reality has changed radically, but almost without our noticing, over the past twenty-five years. Transcending the clash of older ideas about matter and space, acclaimed physicist Frank Wilczek explains a…
The mystery of the quantum world
Quantum mechanics stands as one of the most remarkable achievements of the 20th century, providing startling insight into the nature of matter and a spectacularly successful predictive theory. However, while the predictive ability of the quantum…
