BY ARNOLD CAPLAN, PHD Neil Riordan, PhD, PA is a pioneer of the highest order, in some ways like John Glenn or Neil Armstrong. Neil has ventured where the routes were uncharted and the dangers huge. His rocket of cell therapy was launched on a rickety platform filled with hopes and dreams, and powered by […]

herever you are on this planet, you’ve recently given some thought to leaving it. Space is looking more promising every day. There’s no political corruption on Mars, no war on the Moon, no juvenile jokes on Uranus. Surely space settlement presents the best chance since about 50,000 BC to try out something completely new and […]

Generating electrical energy from nuclear fusion on Earth is challenging, potentially very rewarding and an incredibly interesting research subject. In this Chapter, we introduce the fundamental concepts associated with it, but we focus in particular on one specific aspect: plasma exhaust. When fusion reactions occur, part of the energy generated remains in the plasma and […]

In the course of revision of the text many comments have been added, as well as numerous examples and exercises motivated by more recent developments. A section on black body thermal radiation is new, and is supplemented at the end by an introduction to thermal radiation of black holes. Harald J.W. M¨uller–Kirsten Statistical physics — […]

High-pressure mineral physics focuses on the physical properties of materials at high pressure, a field that has shaped our understanding of deep planetary interiors and revealed new material phenomena appearing at extreme conditions. Beginning in the early 1970s, the field has made major contributions to Earth and planetary sciences, condensed matter physics, and high-pressure materials […]

This textbook presents an introduction to a set of mathematical tools that are extensively used in modern physics, and is mainly aimed at advanced undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students in physics, engineering, and mathematics. The reader is ideally accompanied on a journey through a number of different, albeit related, topics. Chapter 2 introduces group theory […]

My dream is to live in a world where most people have informed views and passionate opinions about modern physics. Where you knock off after a hard day at work, head down to the pub with friends, and argue over your favorite dark-matter candidate, or competing interpretations of quantum mechanics. A world where, as kids […]

How to use this book This Practical Skills Workbook will help you to keep a record of the practicals you have completed, as well as your results and conclusions. It provides additional practice for the practical skills required by the Cambridge IGCSETM Physics syllabuses (0625/0972) for examination from 2023. This resource covers Core and Supplement […]

Introduction This new edition of the Cambridge IGCSE Physics Workbook is designed as a ‘write-in’ book for students to practise and test their knowledge and understanding of the content of the Cambridge IGCSETM Physics course. The sections are presented in the same order as those in the Student’s Book, Cambridge IGCSE Physics Fourth Edition, and as […]

FOCUS POINTS ★ Describe how to measure length, volume and time intervals using simple devices. ★ Know how to determine the average value for a small distance and a short time interval. ★ Understand the difference between scalar and vector quantities, and give examples of each. ★ Calculate or determine graphically the resultant of two […]

And now it starts: your long, yet fruitful journey toward wearing a white coat. Proudly wearing that white coat, though, is hopefully only part of your motivation. You are reading this book because you want to be a healer. If you’re serious about going to medical school, then you are likely already familiar with the […]

Until the mid 1800s it was not clear to what extent the laws of physics and chemistry, which were formulated from the observed behavior of inanimate matter, could be applied to living matter. It was certainly evident that on the large scale the laws were applicable. Animals are clearly subject to the same laws of […]
