The History of Heat

If you want to know what's happening in the world, follow the heat. Why can't your coffee "steal" heat from the air to stay piping hot? Why can't Detroit make a car that's 100 percent efficient? Why can't some genius make a perpetual motion machine? The answers lie in the field of thermodynamics, the study of heat, which turns out to be the key to an astonishing number of scientific puzzles, including why time inexorably runs in only one direction. In Warmth Disperses and Time Passes: The History of Heat, physics professor Hans Christian von Baeyer tells the story of heat through the lives of the scientists who discovered it. With his trademark elegant prose, eye for lively detail, and gift for lucid explanation, Professor von Baeyer turns the contemplation of a cooling coffee cup into a beguiling portrait of the birth of a science with relevance to almost every aspect of our lives.

How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100

Space elevators. Internet-enabled contact lenses. Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields. This is the stuff of science fiction--it's also daily life in the year 2100.

Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku details the developments in computer technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, space travel, and more, that are poised to happen over the next hundred years. He also considers how these inventions will affect the world economy, addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs? Which nations will prosper? Kaku interviews three hundred of the world's top scientists--working in their labs on astonishing prototypes. He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly, how safely, and how far technologies can advance. In Physics of the Future, Kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries' leaps and bounds seem insignificant.

A Novel

nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;Anna Karenina left her husband for a dashing officer. Lady Chatterley left hers for the gamekeeper. Now Alice Coombs has her boyfriend for nothing ... nothing at all.nbsp; Just how that should have come to pass and what Philip Engstrand, Alice's spurned boyfriend, can do about it is the premise for this vertiginous speculative romance by the acclaimed author of Gun, with Occasional Music.
nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Alice Coombs is a particle physicist, and she and her colleagues have created a void, a hole in the universe, that they have taken to calling Lack. But Lack is a nullity with taste--tastes; it absorbs a pomegranate, light bulbs, an argyle sock; it disdains a bow tie, an ice ax, and a scrambled duck egg. To Alice, this selectivity translates as an irresistible personality. To Philip, it makes Lack an unbeatable rival, for how can he win Alice back from something that has no flaws--because it has no qualities? Ingenious, hilarious, and genuinely mind-expanding, As She Climbed Across the Table is the best boy-meets-girl-meets-void story ever written.nbsp;

From the Big Bang to Black Holes

Stephen Hawking has earned a reputation as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein. In this landmark volume, Professor Hawking shares his blazing intellect with nonscientists everywhere, guiding us expertly to confront the supreme questions of the nature of time and the universe. Was there a beginning of time? Will there be an end? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? From Galileo and Newton to modern astrophysics, from the breathtakingly cast to the extraordinarily tiny, Professor Hawking leads us on an exhilarating journey to distant galaxies, black holes, alternate dimensions--as close as man has ever ventured to the mind of God. From the vantage point of the wheelchair from which he has spent more than twenty years trapped by Lou Gehrig's disease, Stephen Hawking has transformed our view of the universe. Cogently explained, passionately revealed, "A Brief History of Time is the story of the ultimate quest for knowledge: the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.

THE COMPUTERS SAY THAT SOMEONE IS OUT THERE, AND THE COMPUTERS NEVER LIE...

Scientists In the R & D department of a major
American aerospace firm have made an incredible find. Using data from the space probe Prospector, they can actually see an allen spacecraft in the distant reaches of the solar system.

Researcher Robert Hanson knows the discovery will send shock waves through the scentific and milltary communities. What he doesn't know Is that a web of treachery, woven In computer chips and billion -dollar defense contracts, Is taking control of Prospector and anyone who comes near It. 

When Hanson asks one question too many, he finds himself framed for a crime he didn't commit, running for his life with a beautiful programmer, and headed toward a truth more frightening than any alien presence.
And just as inhuman…PROBE

Quantum Entanglement, Science's Strangest Phenomenon

The phenomenon that Einstein thought too spooky and strange to be true What is entanglement? It's a connection between quantum particles, the building blocks of the universe. Once two particles are entangled, a change to one of them is reflected - instantly - in the other, be they in the same lab or light-years apart. So counterintuitive is this phenomenon and its implications that Einstein himself called it "spooky" and thought that it would lead to the downfall of quantum theory. Yet scientists have since discovered that quantum entanglement, the "God Effect," was one of Einstein's few - and perhaps one of his greatest - mistakes.  What does it mean ? The possibilities offered by a fuller understanding of the nature of entanglement read like something out of science fiction: communications devices that could span the stars, codes that cannot be broken, computers that dwarf today's machines in speed and power, teleportation, and more.In The God Effect, veteran science writer Brian Clegg has written an exceptionally readable and fascinating (and equation-free) account of entanglement, its history, and its application. Fans of Brian Greene and Amir Aczel and those interested in the marvelous possibilities coming down the quantum road will find much to marvel, illuminate, and delight.

How Hidden Symmetries Shape Reality

What do snowflakes, mirrors, and the universe as a whole have in common?

Physicist Dave Goldberg takes readers on a warp-speed road trip guided by the notion that while randomness may seem to rule our lives, it never seems to erase an essential orderliness. Space, time, and everything in between in our elegant universe - from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies - are shaped by hidden symmetries

Why is the sky dark at night? Is it possible to build a shrink-ray gun? If there is antimatter, can there be anti-people? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Are time and space like a butterfly's wings? Not only does Goldberg answer the questions your stoner friends came up with in college, but he also reveals the most profound discoveries with infectious enthusiasm, clarity, and wry humor.

Goldberg's narrative is populated with giants from the history of physics (and some science fiction ones, too), including the brilliant but obscure mathematician Emmy Noether, whose theorem relating conservation laws to symmetries has provided the foundation for the twentieth century's greatest breakthroughs in high-energy physics. Einstein himself said she was 'the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began.'

Symmetry is the unsung great idea behind all the big physics of the past one hundred years - and what lies+ ahead. In this superbly illustrated book, Goldberg makes mind-bending science not just comprehensible but exhilarating. Fasten your seat belt. Objects may indeed be closer than they appear.

The subatomic world is nothing like the world we know. Here teleportation is possible, alternative realities may exist, and much of what we thought we knew about the workings of the universe is turned on its head. Quantum theory is the most mind-bending and counterintuitive concept ever devised by humanity. But the more we learn about how matter behaves at the smallest level, the more complex and fascinating our world becomes.

“50 Quantum Physics Ideas You Really Need to Know” demystifies this most esoteric of scientific fields. Through 50 clear and concise chapters, Joanne Baker pins down the key building blocks of this intriguing theory, explaining how breakthroughs in our understanding about the speed of light, relativity and atomic structure paved the way for quantum puzzles such as the Higgs boson, string theory, antimatter and ideas of quantum consciousness.

From Schrödinger’s cat to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, each enlightening chapter explains the essential principles of the science as well as the paradoxes that continue to challenge scientists today. With fascinating discussions on the possibility of quantum computing, space and time, and the very limits of the cosmos, together with an exploration of how quantum physics applies to life as we know it, this is the perfect introduction to the fundamental nature of the universe.

50 Quantum Physics Ideas You Really Need to Know

Larry Gonick

As seen in photos some pages are colored in otherwise in good condition 

If you think a negative charge is something that shows up on your credit card bill -- if you imagine that Ohm's Law dictates how long to meditate -- if you believe that Newtonian mechanics will fix your car -- you need The Cartoon Guide to Physics to set you straight. You don't have to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, because The Cartoon Guide to Physics explains them all: velocity, acceleration, explosions, electricity and magnetism, circuits -- even a taste of relativity theory -- and much more, in simple, clear, and, yes, funny illustrations. Physics will never be the same!
