  • The Free Market and the Human Condition

    Essays on Economics and Culture

    Series series Key Concepts in Philosophy
    Since the Financial Crisis of 2008, there has been and continues to be a debate about the proper role of the free market in the United States and beyond. On one side there are those who defend the free market as a method to provide both wealth and democratic legitimacy; while on the other side are thinkers who reject the orthodoxy of the free market and call for a greater role of government in ...

  • Bryce DeWitt's Lectures on Gravitation

    Edited by Steven M. Christensen

    de Bryce DeWitt ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Bryce DeWitt, a student of Nobel Laureate Julian Schwinger, was himself one of the towering figures in 20th century physics, particularly renowned for his seminal contributions to quantum field theory, numerical relativity and quantum gravity. In late 1971 DeWitt gave a course on gravitation at Stanford University, leaving almost 400 pages of detailed handwritten notes. Written with clarity and ... Leer más

  • Divided We Fall

    Family Discord and the Fracturing of America

    Edición de Bryce J. Christensen ...
    In the weeks that followed the horror of September 11, politicians of both major parties resolutely asserted America's national unity. Barely four years later, the illusions of the rhetoric of unity have given way to the divisive oversimplifications of Red vs. Blue electoral cartography. Divided We Fall: Family Discord and the Fracturing of America offers a more nuanced yet more disturbing picture ... Leer más

  • Introducing Stephen Hawking

    A Graphic Guide

    de J.P. McEvoy ...
    Series series Graphic Guides
    'An ideal introduction [to Stephen Hawking]' - Independent'Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself' - FocusStephen Hawking was a world-famous physicist with a cameo in The Simpsons on his CV, but outside of his academic field his work was little understood. To the public he was a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A Brief History of ... Leer más

  • Special Relativity in General Frames

    From Particles to Astrophysics

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat ... Leer más

  • A Student's Guide to Einstein's Major Papers

    Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics. The dominant figure in this revolutionary change was Albert Einstein. In a single year, 1905, Einstein produced breakthrough works in three areas of physics: on the size and ... Leer más

  • Teleparallel Gravity

    An Introduction

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Teleparallel Gravity (TG) is an alternative theory for gravitation, which is equivalent to General Relativity (GR). However, it is conceptually different. For example in GR geometry replaces the concept of force, and the trajectories are determined by geodesics. TG attributes gravitation to torsion, which accounts for gravitation by acting as a force.TG has already solved some old problems of ... Leer más

  • Inertia and Gravitation

    The Fundamental Nature and Structure of Space-Time

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book focuses on the phenomena of inertia and gravitation, one objective being to shed some new light on the basic laws of gravitational interaction and the fundamental nature and structures of spacetime. Chapter 1 is devoted to an extensive, partly new analysis of the law of inertia. The underlying mathematical and geometrical structure of Newtonian spacetime is presented from a four ... Leer más

  • A Practical Guide to the Psychology of Relationships

    Build a Loving Partnership

    de John Karter ...
    Series series Practical Guide Series
    Understanding psychological techniques can help you make your relationships happier and more fulfilling. This Practical Guide will help you achieve new and healthier ways of relating by explaining some of the major underlying psychological 'drivers' that permeate relationships and identify and work on these unconscious motivating factors to eliminate 'knee-jerk' reactions. Filled with ... Leer más

  • Introduction to Global Variational Geometry

    Series Libro 1 - Atlantis Studies in Variational Geometry
    The book is devoted to recent research in the global variational theory on smooth manifolds. Its main objective is an extension of the classical variational calculus on Euclidean spaces to (topologically nontrivial) finite-dimensional smooth manifolds; to this purpose the methods of global analysis of differential forms are used. Emphasis is placed on the foundations of the theory of variational ... Leer más

  • Symmetries in Fundamental Physics

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Over the course of the last century it has become clear that both elementary particle physics and relativity theories are based on the notion of symmetries. These symmetries become manifest in that the "laws of nature" are invariant under spacetime transformations and/or gauge transformations. The consequences of these symmetries were analyzed as early as in 1918 by Emmy Noether on the level of ... Leer más

  • An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry

    With Applications to Mechanics and Relativity

    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Unlike many other texts on differential geometry, this textbook also offers interesting applications to geometric mechanics and general relativity.The first part is a concise and self-contained introduction to the basics of manifolds, differential forms, metrics and curvature. The second part studies applications to mechanics and relativity including the proofs of the Hawking and Penrose ... Leer más
