Theology and Modern Physics

The new discoveries in physics during the twentieth century have stimulated intense debate about their relevance to age-old theological questions. Views range from those holding that modern physics provides a surer road to God than traditional religions, to those who say that physics and theology are incommensurable and so do not relate. At the very least, physics has stimulated renewed theological discussions. In this critical introduction to the science-theology debate, Peter E. Hodgson draws on his experience as a physicist to present the results of modern physics and the theological implications. Written for those with little or no scientific background, Hodgson describes connections between physics, philosophy and theology and then explains Newtonian physics and Victorian physics, the theories of relativity, astronomy and quantum mechanics, and distinguishes the actual results of modern physics from speculations. The connections with theology are explored throughout. The concluding section draws discussions together and makes an important new contribution to the debate.

Nucleon Optical Model,the

By: Peter E Hodgson

The nucleon optical model is widely used to calculate the elastic scattering cross-sections and polarisations for the interaction of neutrons and protons with atomic nuclei. The optical model potentials not only describe the scattering but also provide the wave functions needed to analyse a wide range of nuclear reactions. They also unify many aspects of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. This book consists of a comprehensive introduction to the subject and a selection of papers by the author describing the optical model in detail. It contains full references to the original literature with many examples of the application of the model to the analysis of experimental data.

Nucleon Correlations in Nuclei

By: Anton N. Antonov,Peter E. Hodgson,Ivan Z. Petkov

In recent years there has been growing interest in the nucleon-nucleon correl ations inside nuclei. In many respects the motions of the nucleons can be very well described by an overall mean field, so that the motion of each nucleon is governed by the mean field due to all the other nucleons. This concept underlies the Fermi-gas, Hartree-Fock and shell models and has enabled a range of nuclear properties to be calculated, often to surprising accuracy. It gradually became clear, however, that these mean-field models are limited by the effects due to the very strong interactions between the nucleons that occur at short distances; these are the short-range correlations. They are responsible for instance for the high-momentum components in the nucleon momentum dis tribution, and prevent the simultaneous description of the nuclear density and momentum distributions by the same mean field. It thus becomes necessary to develop methods for including the effects of nucleon correlations in nuclei, and these are the main subject of this book. Some related problems of nuclear structure were discussed in an earlier book by the same authors: Nucleon Momentum and Density Distributions in Nuclei (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1988). The main aim of that book was to study the effects of nucleon-nucleon correlations, both short-range and tensor, on the nucleon momentum distribution, which is particularly sensitive to these correl ations, and on the nucleon density distribution.

Energy, The Environment And Climate Change

By: Peter E Hodgson

This book is a comprehensive account of all significant energy sources, evaluated according to their capacity, reliability, cost, safety and effects on the environment. Non-renewable sources (for example, coal, oil, gas and nuclear fuel) together with renewable sources like wood, hydro, biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, and tidal; are considered. Also, nuclear radiations and the disposal of nuclear waste and the future of nuclear power are assessed, as well as pollution and acid rain, the greenhouse effects and climate change. Its social, political and moral problems are discussed, with a special mention of the opposition to nuclear power.

How to be a Mother

A Gift of Love from Mothers to New Mothers

By: Peter Dudek,Lisa Dudek

...THE GENUINE ARTICLE..."--BOOKLIST. HOW TO BE A MOTHER promotes unconditional love, literacy, & decries child abuse. It contains advice from experienced mothers all across the United States. It is easy to read. It contains short articles, nice for browsing. You can read a complete thought in just a minute or two, which makes the book appealing to busy moms with little time to read long chapters. HOW TO BE A MOTHER was designed to be enticing to read. It offers something for mothers of all ages, but especially to new mothers. It's a book that will feel like a familiar friend & be kept on many a nightstand. With careful editing decisions, the editors preserved the warmth & personality of the hundreds of beautiful handwritten letters they received from mothers all over the country. The book contains tips & advice on hundreds of subjects. However, the underlying message of love & literacy are laced throughout the book. In preliminary marketing tests, HOW TO BE A MOTHER has proven to be very popular with mothers of all ages. Part of proceeds go to nonprofit Mother to Mother Education Fund to benefit crisis pregnancy centers nationwide.
