This primer introduces simple, straightforward quantum science principles to motivated science students from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds, using a minimum of mathematical formalism and offering readers the means to achieve significant conceptual clarity and depth of what can often seem like complex material.

Taking a straightforward, logical approach that emphasizes symmetry and crystal relationships, this successful textbook provides a thorough explanation of the topic for students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering.

The fifth edition of this well-established, highly regarded two-volume set continues to provide a fundamental introduction to advanced particle physics while incorporating substantial new experimental results, especially in the areas of Higgs and top sector physics, as well as CP violation and neutrino oscillations.

The book presents a practical guide to using a small astronomical telescope of a size that corresponds to most “first” telescopes – around 75 to 150 mm, i.e. 3 to 6 inches, in diameter.

This book explores quantum computing as a transformative technology and its applications in cryptography, teleportation, IoT, AI, and Blockchain, and the futurist concept of quantum internet.

The book provides an accessible introduction to the principles of condensed matter physics with a focus on the nanosciences and device technologies.

This book introduces the reader to the fascinating and sometimes bizarre world of space rocks using a simple, clear layman-friendly style. It explains why they are so special and describes their main characteristics.

This book introduces you to the physics of cosmic rays, charged particles which reach us from known – and maybe unknown – sources in the cosmos.

The fifth edition of this well-established, highly regarded two-volume set continues to provide a fundamental introduction to advanced particle physics while incorporating substantial new experimental results, especially in the areas of Higgs and top sector physics, as well as CP violation and neutrino oscillations.

Baum and Smith, both professors evolutionary biology and researchers in the field of systematics, present this highly accessible introduction to phylogenetics and its importance in modern biology.
