In 1984 physicists discovered a monster in the world of crystallography, a structure that appeared to contain five-fold symmetry axes, which cannot exist in strictly periodic structures. Such quasi-pe
This reissue of two classic volumes provides the reader with a comprehensive account at first degree or introductory graduate level of the principles and experimental aspects of electricity and magnet
This well known and widely used landmark text explores the universal spontaneous generation of magnetic fields in astronomical bodies and the agitation of the bodies by those fields. The general prop
This book discusses many advances in optical physic, and is aimed at advanced undergraduates taking courses in atomic physics, or graduate students in the fields of lasers, astrophysics, and physical
This book is an attempt to explain hardness measurements of metals in terms of some of their more basic physical properties. It does not deal with the atomic and crystalline mechanism of elastic or pl
This book provides a critical review of the equilibrium elastic properties of rubber, together with the kinetic-theory background. It is suitable for the non-specialist and the emphasis is on the phy
A classic work reprinted every few years since its 1950 publication. Hill (then mechanics of solids, U. of Cambridge) wanted to attract engineers and applied mathematicians to the mathematical treatme
Physical Chemistry is a difficult and diversified subject. Based on a good spell of university teaching, this book lays emphasis on the structure and continuity of the whole subject and tries to show
First published in 1983, this book has swiftly become one of the great modern classics of relativity theory. It represents a personal testament to the work of the author, who spent several years writi
Since the first edition of this highly successful book the field saw many great developments both in experimental and theoretical studies of electrical properties of non-crystalline solids. It became
This monograph by Hobbs (atmospheric sciences, U. of Washington) is a comprehensive introduction to the physics and chemistry of ice. Drawing on research from physics, chemistry, glaciology, meteorolo
