Light and Waves : A Conceptual Exploration of Physics
This book explores light and other types of waves, using this as a window into other aspects of physics.It emphasizes a conceptual understanding, using examples chosen from everyday life and the natural environment.For example, it explains how hummingbird feathers create shimmering colors, how musical instruments produce sound, and how atoms stick together to form molecules.It provides a unique perspective on physics by emphasizing commonalities among different types of waves, including string waves, water waves, sound waves, light waves, the matter waves of quantum mechanics, and the gravitational waves of general relativity.This book is targeted toward college non-science majors, advanced high school students, and adults who are curious about our physical world.It assumes familiarity with algebra but no further mathematics and is classroom-ready with many worked examples, exercises, exploratory puzzles, and appendices to support students from a variety of backgrounds.

Atomic physics : An exploration through problems and solutions
This book provides a bridge between the basic principles of physics learned as an undergraduate and the skills and knowledge required for advanced study and research in the exciting field of atomic physics.The text is organized in a unique and versatile format --- as a collection of problems, hints, detailed solutions, and in-depth tutorials.This enables the reader to open the book at any page and get a solid introduction to subjects on the cutting edge of atomic physics, such as frequency comb metrology, tests of fundamental symmetries with atoms, atomic magnetometers, atom trapping and cooling, and Bose-Einstein condensates.The text also includes problems and tutorials on important basics that every practicing atomic physicist should know, but approached from the perspective of experimentalists: formal calculations are avoided where possible in favor of 'back-of-the-envelope' estimates, symmetry arguments, and physical analogies.The 2nd edition contains over 10 new problems, and includes important updates, revisions, and corrections of several problems of the 1st edition.

Unfinished Nature : Particle Physics at CERN
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, the culmination of a decades-long search, is one of the singular triumphs of particle physics.Advanced experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) near Geneva detected the long-hypothesized particle, resulting in the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics.Drawing on two and a half years of in-depth fieldwork spent among CERN’s research community during this critical period, Arpita Roy offers a rich analysis of science in the making. To what extent are scientific discoveries a matter of empirical findings?How do scientists at the farthest reach of abstraction understand their work?Unfinished Nature delves deep into this particle physics laboratory to distinguish the modes of reasoning that animate scientific discoveries and innovations.Demonstrating a deep knowledge of both contemporary physics and the methods of qualitative social science, Roy considers what scientists have to say about their commitments and concerns, the sources and vision guiding their experiments, and the questions they ask of themselves and others.In so doing, she argues that finding new facts in experimental physics turns on conceptual leaps, not necessarily empirical results.A sophisticated interdisciplinary ethnography of a scientific community, Unfinished Nature offers provocative insights into the nature and production of scientific knowledge.

The Wolf : Culture, Nature, Heritage
New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf.It occupies a contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and heritage.It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild and an embodiment of evil.Offering a mirror to different human attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to eco-systems.The essays collected here explore aspects of this recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding this iconic species.There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo.We also meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer Space.The book explores the challenges of separating fact from fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with large carnivores in the twenty-first century.Biologists, historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in this wolf collection.
