Weaving the history of discovery with clear explanations, “The Invisible Solar System” pulls back the cloak of invisibility under which myriad aspects of the local region of space are connected.

'A rich compendium of incidents, anecdotes and studies illustrating the linguistic abilities of animals . . .

a rewarding book' Sunday TimesDolphins and parrots call each other by their names. Fork tailed drongos mimic the calls of other animals to scare them away and then steal their dinner. In the songs of many species of birds, and in skin patterns of squid, we find grammatical structures .

. . If you are lucky, you might meet an animal that wants to talk to you.

If you are even luckier, y...

The solutions manual to accompany Organic Chemistry provides fully-explained solutions to problems that accompany each chapter of the second edition of the book.

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.

Latent Variable Models: An Introduction to Factor, Path, and Structural Equation Analysis introduces latent variable models by utilizing path diagrams to explain the relationships in the models. This approach helps less mathematically-inclined readers to grasp the underlying relations among path analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling, and to set up and carry out such analyses. This revised and expanded fifth edition again contains key chapters on path analysis, structural...

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.

Interdisciplinary perspectives on the capacity to perceive, appreciate, and make music. Research shows that all humans have a predisposition for music, just as they do for language. All of us can perceive and enjoy music, even if we can't carry a tune and consider ourselves unmusical. This volume offers interdisciplinary perspectives on the capacity to perceive, appreciate, and make music. Scholars from biology, musicology, neurology, genetics, computer science, anthropology, psychology, and ...
