Primer for Point and Space Groups

By: Richard Liboff

Written in the spirit of Liboff's acclaimed text on Quantum Mechanics, this introduction to group theory offers an exceptionally clear presentation with a good sense of what to explain, which examples are most appropriate, and when to give a counter-example.

Resurrection

By: Richard Liboff

Karl was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to an alcoholic mother. His father was already dead from cirrhosis of the liver. Disillusioned and emotionally scarred from his mother's drinking, he leaves home at the tender age of eleven for life on the streets. After his second arrest at age fourteen, Karl is sent to a detention center to serve his time and ends up killing a fellow inmate in self-defense. When he is released from state custody, seventeen-year-old Karl meets a group of white supremacists, Soldiers of the Brigade, who accept him and make him feel like part of a family. A native of Buffalo, New York, Elizabeth is a librarian at the Omaha Public Library. When Karl comes to the library looking for a racist book, she tries to gently guide him to see the error of his ways and the brainwashing that he has been exposed to. But can the kindness of this young, trusting, and open-minded librarian bring Karl back to his senses? When Elizabeth invites Karl to a performance by a talented Jewish violinist, she may be inadvertently setting the stage for an attack orchestrated by the Soldiers of the Brigade, unless Karl can stop his racist brothers .

Chaos

The Science of Predictable Random Motion

By: Richard Kautz

Chaos: The Science of Predictable Random Motion bridges the gap between introductions for the layman and college-level texts with an account of chaos theory based on elementary mathematics. It develops the science of dynamics in terms of small time steps, describes the phenomenon of chaos through simple examples, and concludes with a close look at a homoclinic tangle, the mathematical monster at the heart of chaos. The presentation is enhanced by numerousfigures, animations of chaotic motion (available on a companion CD), and biographical sketches of the pioneers of dynamics and chaos theory.

Transmission Lines

Equivalent Circuits, Electromagnetic Theory, and Photons

By: Richard Collier

This rigorous treatment of transmission lines presents all the essential concepts in a clear and straightforward manner. Key principles are demonstrated by numerous practical worked examples and illustrations, and complex mathematics is avoided throughout. Early chapters cover pulse propagation, sinusoidal waves and coupled lines, all set within the context of a simple lossless equivalent circuit. Later chapters then develop this basic model by demonstrating the derivation of circuit parameters, and the use of Maxwell's equations to extend this theory to major transmission lines. Finally, a discussion of photonic concepts and properties provides valuable insights into the fundamental physics underpinning transmission lines. Covering DC to optical frequencies, this accessible text is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and professionals in electrical, RF and microwave engineering.

Thrive

How Better Mental Health Care Transforms Lives and Saves Money

By: Richard Layard,David M. Clark

A compelling argument for improving society's mental health through increased services and better policy Mental illness is a leading cause of suffering in the modern world. In sheer numbers, it afflicts at least 20 percent of people in developed countries. It reduces life expectancy as much as smoking does, accounts for nearly half of all disability claims, is behind half of all worker sick days, and affects educational achievement and income. There are effective tools for alleviating mental illness, but most sufferers remain untreated or undertreated. What should be done to change this? In Thrive, Richard Layard and David Clark argue for fresh policy approaches to how we think about and deal with mental illness, and they explore effective solutions to its miseries and injustices. Layard and Clark show that modern psychological therapies are highly effective and could potentially turn around the lives of millions of people at little or no cost. This is because treating psychological problems generates huge savings on physical health care, as well as massive economic savings through more people working. So psychological therapies would effectively pay for themselves, generating potential savings for nations the world over. Layard and Clark describe how various successful psychological treatments have been developed and explain what works best for whom. They also discuss how mental illness can be prevented through better schools and a better society, and the urgency of doing so. Illustrating why we cannot afford to ignore the issue of mental illness, Thrive opens the door to new options and possibilities for one of the most serious problems facing us today.

Statistical Thermodynamics for Pure and Applied Sciences

Statistical Thermodynamics

By: Frederick Richard Wayne McCourt

This textbook concerns thermal properties of bulk matter and is aimed at advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students in a range of programs in science or engineering. It provides an intermediate level presentation of statistical thermodynamics for students in the physical sciences (chemistry, nanosciences, physics) or related areas of applied science/engineering (chemical engineering, materials science, nanotechnology engineering), as they are areas in which statistical mechanical concepts play important roles. The book enables students to utilize microscopic concepts to achieve a better understanding of macroscopic phenomena and to be able to apply these concepts to the types of sub-macroscopic systems encountered in areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Voltage-Sensitive Ion Channels

Biophysics of Molecular Excitability

By: H. Richard Leuchtag

Voltage-sensitive ion channels are macromolecules embedded in the membranes of nerve and muscle fibers of animals. Despite decades of intensive research under the traditional approach of gated structural pores, the relation between the structure of these molecules and their function remains enigmatic. This book examines physically oriented approaches not covered in other ion-channel books, and it develops a new physics-based approach to the problem of molecular excitability.
