Why is it necessary to strike while the iron is hot? What makes a good liquid crystal display? Why is rubber so elastic? These questions can be answered through rheophysics, using the mechanics of continuous media at the macroscopic scale, and...

Originally published in 1926, this textbook is the second edition of a 1918 original, and provides a detailed and engaging introduction on the theory of electricity. 'As in the first edition the object has been to present a complete account of the purely...

The Austrian scientist Ernst Mach (1838-1916) carried out work of importance in many fields of enquiry, including physics, physiology, psychology and philosophy. Many significant thinkers, such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell, benefited from...

Written by distinguished physics educator David Goodstein, this fresh introduction to thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the study of matter is ideal for undergraduate courses. The textbook looks at the behavior of thermodynamic variables and...

First published in 1901, and originally delivered as lectures in the Philosophical Hall in Leeds earlier that year, this book discusses the practical and historical problems faced by those wishing to measure heat energy. Griffiths, who dealt with the...

Originally published in 1907, as part of the Cambridge Physical Series, this book presents the content of a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University during the Lent term of 1903. The text discusses the physics of ventilation in buildings,...

Originally published in 1937, this book was written to provide a discussion of 'the principal problems that have occupied low temperature physicists since the time when low temperatures began to form a separate branch of experimental science'...

This book was first published in 2007. When electrons are confined to two dimensions, cooled to near absolute zero temperature, and subjected to a strong magnetic field, they form an exotic new collective state of matter. Investigations into this began...

French astronomer Camille Flammarion (1842-1925) called the study of the heavens 'the science which concerns us most'. He believed that learning 'what place we occupy in the infinite' could delight and instruct, and might even promote an end to war and...

George Frederick Charles Searle (1864-1954) was a British physicist who worked at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge for 55 years. Originally published in 1915, this book presents an account of the principles of harmonic motion and their application...

Presenting a completely new approach to examining how polymers move in non-dilute solution, this book focuses on experimental facts, not theoretical speculations, and concentrates on polymer solutions, not dilute solutions or polymer melts. From...
