Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a translation of the 6th to 8th edition of the author's Kleines Lehrbuch der Physik. The circle of readers to which it hopes to appeal and the author's purpose in writing it have been set out in the Preface to the first German edition, published in 1948. The present book consistently follows the principles of the theory of quantities, the beginnings of which date back to James C. Maxwell. This means that in all equations in this book the symbols invariably stand for physical quantities and not for the numerical values of quantities. Only then are the equations gene rally valid and independent of the choice of units used in their evaluation. The units used are always the "metric" units which have been gaining ground increasingly also in the English-speaking countries. A conversion table for some of the more important Anglo-American units is given on page XIV. I would like to record my sincere gratitude to Mr. Ewald Osers for his pains taking work in making this translation and to Mr. P. C. Banbury, Ph. D., of the Department of Physics, University of Reading, England, both for the advice he has given hirn throughout and for devising the problems specially for this edition.

Book excerpt: How does the physics we know today - a highly professionalised enterprise, inextricably linked to government and industry - link back to its origins as a liberal art in Ancient Greece? John Heilbron's crisp and witty book tells the 2500-year story and highlights the implications for humankind's self-understanding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Physics: Being a Short and Complete Course Based Upon the Larger Work of Ganot for the Use of Academies, High Schools, Etc The Synopses are designed to furnish a ready method of topical review, and hence have been made fully exhaustive of the text The arrangement in each presents a clear analysis of that part of the sub jcet to which it refers; and thus, while serving to fix in the mind of the student the logical relations of the different topics, can not fail to be serviceable to the instructor both for examination and drill. The Applications of Principles are intended to supply an exercise which can readily be extended by the intelligent teacher, the student being encouraged to find material for similar inquiry. Success in teaching this subject depends very much upon the degree in which the pupil's mind is awakened to such a spirit of investigation. The Problems for Exercise have been made sufficiently simple to be solved by students who possess but an elementary knowledge of mathematics, and will serve still further to discipline the mind in this kind of inquiry, as well as to apply the principles acquired.

This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the twentieth century drew to a close, computers, the Internet, and nanotechnology were central to modern American life. Yet the advances in physics underlying these applications are poorly understood and widely underappreciated by U.S. citizens today. In this concise overview, David C. Cassidy sharpens our perspective on modern physics by viewing this foundational science through the lens of America's engagement with the political events of a tumultuous century. American physics first stirred in the 1890s-around the time x-rays and radioactivity were discovered in Germany-with the founding of graduate schools on the German model. Yet American research lagged behind the great European laboratories until highly effective domestic policies, together with the exodus of physicists from fascist countries, brought the nation into the first ranks of world research in the 1930s. The creation of the atomic bomb and radar during World War II ensured lavish government support for particle physics, along with computation, solid-state physics, and military communication. These advances facilitated space exploration and led to the global expansion of the Internet. Well into the 1960s, physicists bolstered the United States' international status, and the nation repaid the favor through massive outlays of federal, military, and philanthropic funding. But gradually America relinquished its postwar commitment to scientific leadership, and the nation found itself struggling to maintain a competitive edge in science education and research. Today, American physicists, relying primarily on industrial funding, must compete with smaller, scrappier nations intent on writing their own brief history of physics in the twenty-first century.
