The Physical Universe
This introductory physical science text discusses the essentials of physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy and meteorology using the most up-to-date information on the most recent discoveries in space. The latest photographs from Neptune, information…
The physics of chance
This is an introduction to the ideas of randomness that are central to much of modern physics and have overthrown the "clock-work universe" conceptions of earlier centuries. The author shows how the laws of probability and statistics were developed…

The Principle of Relativity (Dover Books on Physics)
Here are the 11 papers that forged the general and special theories of relativity: seven papers by Einstein, plus two papers by Lorentz and one each by Minkowski and Weyl. "A thrill to read again the original papers by these giants
The Quantum Cookbook
Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. But it is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that…
The quantum theory of fields - vol 1: foundations
In The Quantum Theory of Fields, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg combines his exceptional physical insight with his gift for clear exposition to provide a self-contained, comprehensive, and up-to-date introduction to quantum field theory. This is a…
The quantum theory of fields - vol 2: modern applications
In this second volume of The Quantum Theory of Fields, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg continues his masterly exposition of quantum theory. Volume 2 provides an up-to-date and self-contained account of the methods of quantum field theory, and how they…
The Quantum Universe
From the bestselling authors of Why does E=mc2? comes The Quantum Universe, in which Brian Cox, presenter of the BBC's Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe, and Jeff Forshaw go on a brilliantly ambitious mission to show that…
