This best-selling introduction to the physical and life sciences emphasizes concepts over computation and treats equations as a guide to thinking so the reader can connect ideas. Conceptual Integrated Science covers physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy, and biology at a level appropriate for non-science students. The conceptual approach relates science to everyday life, is personal and direct, deemphasizes jargon, and emphasizes central ideas.

The conceptual ideas serve as the foundat...

Quantum Physics shows us that we create what we observe. Countless experiments confirm that it is our information which manifests reality. Matter and time are created by our observation. This is not only true when we do experiments in laboratories, but it works the same way in everyday reality. We manifest our own experiences. Science does not prove that our consciousness must be a product of our material brain. On the contrary. Consciousness emerging from the brain is just a belief. This boo...

When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...

Maxwell's equations are four of the most influential equations in science. In this book, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, making it a wonderful resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and electromagnetics. Audio podcasts and solutions to the problems are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521701471.

Makes critical topics accessible by illustrating them with simple examples and figures Presents modern quantum mechanical concepts systematically and applies them consistently throughout the book Covers foundational topics, including transition probabilities, crystal structure, reciprocal lattices, and Bloch theorem to build understanding of applications, such as lasers and semiconductor devices Features expanded exercises and problems at the end of each chapter as well as multiple appendi...

Focus on the fundamentals and help students see connections between problem types Richard Wolfson's Essential University Physics is a concise and progressive calculus-based physics textbook that offers clear writing, great problems, and relevant real-life applications in an affordable and streamlined text. The book teaches sound problem-solving strategies and emphasises conceptual understanding, using features such as annotated figures and step-by-step problem-solving strategies. Realising st...

For courses in introductory calculus-based physics. Precise. Highly accurate.

Carefully crafted. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy and a clear and direct narrative with applications that draw the student into the physics at hand. The text gives students a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of physics in all its aspects, from mechanics to modern physics.

Each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can relate to their eve...

Einstein wrote in 1951: “All these fifty years of pondering have not brought me any closer to answering the question, What are light quanta?”.

This book answers this question in a revolutionary way by providing a truly classical mechanical reconstruction of the Planck constant. The new quantum theory deals with one of the two remaining dreams that Einstein had: the unification of quantum mechanics, special relativity and classical mechanics within the context of ‘the radiation problem�...

The purposes of life and the universe are known today, though not realised by the general public or the scientific community.

Scientists in many disciplines recognise the need for a new paradigm; a science encompassing all facets of knowledge: mainstream science, philosophy, the paranormal, religions, New Age, ancient knowledge; that will embrace life, mind, the universe and consciousness well beyond the narrow field of current science, which only handles the 3D universe, and in fact is es...

The history of physics has culminated in the beginning of the 20th century in quantum physics, a spectacular successful branch of science, but surrounded by more questions than answers. Reports in the media of the outcome of quantum physical experiments are usually difficult to fathom, shock the reader in his certainties about the world and prove to be grounded in scientific dogmas. Matter is not what it seems. However, the scientific paradigm is tipping over and many physicists are beginning...
