Reviews the fundamental concepts behind the theory and computation of electromagnetic fields. The book is divided in two parts. The first part covers both fundamental theories (such as vector analysis, Maxwell’s equations, boundary condition, and transmission line theory) and advanced topics (such as wave transformation, addition theorems, and fields in layered media) in order to benefit students at all levels.

This book traces antimatter from its theoretical origins to its roles in cosmic evolution, laboratory precision, and emerging technology. It follows its perfect symmetry with matter, its fleeting appearances in stellar cores, cosmic rays, and particle accelerators, and its central place in the laws of conservation that govern change. The narrative moves through the early universe, where matter’s survival hinged on an infinitesimal asymmetry, and into present-day experiments testing antimatter’s spectra, magnetic properties, and response to gravity.

This new edition introduces operation and design techniques for Sigma-Delta converters in physical and conceptual terms, and includes chapters which explore developments in the field over the last decade. Includes information on MASH architectures, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatch and mismatch shaping

Depuis le début du XX? siècle, les révolutions de la physique fondamentale ont bouleversé notre relation à l'univers. Jean-Philippe Uzan nous embarque dans un voyage cosmique fascinant et nous raconte tout ce que l'on sait aujourd'hui sur la Terre, la Lune, le Soleil, les étoiles, mais aussi l'origine de la vie et les galaxies.

From Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Eric Moskowitz comes the riveting story of the first true coast-to-coast automobile race in U.S. history, a fast-paced tale of the gritty and determined drivers who braved hostile terrain, mechanical failure, and, shockingly, sabotage, to take home the gold...

Are we alone in the universe—or is life a cosmic inevitability? Life in the Cosmic Context goes beyond the conventional search for extraterrestrial biology, asking deeper questions about the very nature of life and our place in an immense, evolving cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, astrobiology becomes more than the science of life beyond Earth; it is a philosophical lens for reimagining what life itself can be. From the origins of life on Earth to the potential for entirely different biochemistries elsewhere, this book challenges listeners to rethink what is possible.

In a world unraveling under the weight of its own complexity, the old ways of knowing no longer suffice. The boundaries that once defined academic disciplines now stand in the way of understanding problems that spill across every line we’ve drawn—climate breakdown, pandemics, technological disruption, global inequality. These are not isolated events. They are symptoms of a deeper fragmentation in how knowledge itself is conceived and practiced. The Unified Future of Knowledge offers a compelling call for transformation.

With their towering, cinnamon-colored trunks and dusky green canopies, ponderosa pine has long been a charismatic icon of the American West. Yet a quiet unraveling has begun: in the past decade, in a vast area from Santa Fe to the Sierras, more than two hundred million ponderosa have died. While some trees will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? And how can we come to terms with such profound loss?

The epic stories of our planet's 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata―ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors, desert dunes, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. In this brilliantly original debut work, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of "Snowball Earth"; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs' reign on a hothouse planet.

We know much about our history from bones and DNA, but these studies do not tell us about the characteristics that are not preserved in the fossil record―the fleshy parts and behaviors. Looking Down the Tree applies evolutionary principles to understand the history of our species and the pressures of natural selection which led to our unique appearance and behaviors. Cruzan draws upon evidence from fossils, genomics, phylogenetics, coalescence theory.

Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers.

What is a meteor or meteorite? A meteor is a small bodastrony of matter apparently from outer space that upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere resembles a streak of light, what we normally call falling stars. A meteorite is one of these that successfully hits the ground and sometimes other things, including people, buildings and animals! Until 1803 most scientists regarded falls of meteorites as absurd and fantastical. As well as impossible. This was until the massive fall onto L’Aigle in France of thousands of meteorites on April 23rd 1803.
