Paperback. Zustand: Good. Our journey in search of the origin of matter -- and, by extension, the origin of the Universe itself -- has taken us deeper and deeper inside atoms. First to come into view was the atomic nucleus, and still further downscale the individual protons and neutrons that constitute the nucleus. At least for three decades, nucleons (protons and neutrons) were considered to be our final destination. Then, peering into them, we detected shadows of yet another layer of matter that lurks inside. Unable so far to crack open a nucleon and bring out one of these shadowy objects for observation and measurement, we can only guess what they are. We have named them quarks. We believe that two types of quarks -- one named up and the other down -- make up the proton and the neutron. Quarks are held together by a force dubbed the chromo force, represented by particles named gluons, which are just as unseen as quarks. So it is the quarks and gluons that lie at the bottom of all known matter In this important book, the major developments in atomic, nuclear, particle and quark physics over the past one hundred years are presented in a style that is both accessible to the layperson and of value to the expert. It provides a brief history of particles, charting the discovery of electrons and photons, antimatter, atomic nuclei, strong and weak forces, and quarks and gluons. In particular, it traces the concept of conserved charges, a phenomenon that is consistently manifested in each of these milestone developments in modern physics.…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Scarce paperback, iv + 160pp, NOT ex-library. A small indentation / gentle crease to lower outer page corners, else internally very good: clean, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Very good firm binding. A touch of minor spotting on page edges externally. Cover shows extensive sunning (spine, upper front, rear panel along the edges), short creases to corners, one gentle scuff-mark on spine; spine's slightly leaned, showing faint marks, free of vertical creases. --- "The present book is a study of so-called verb-particle constructions (or 'phrasal verbs') in sixty-eight American plays from roughly the middle of the 18th century to the present. For the sake of the study this span of time is divided into six 10-year periods at 30-year intervals, starting with the period 1765-75 and leading up to 1965-72.".…

Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. v, [1], 50 pages. Illustrations (most with color). Facilities Glossary. Cover has slight wear and soiling. What does "Quantum Universe" mean? To discover what the universe is made of and how it works is the challenge of particle physics. Quantum Universe presents the quest to explain the universe in terms of quantum physics, which governs the behavior of the microscopic, subatomic world. It describes a revolution in particle physics and a quantum leap in our understanding of the mystery and beauty of the universe. Particle physics (also high energy physics) is the branch of physics that studies the nature of the particles that constitute matter and radiation. Although the word "particle" can refer to various types of very small objects (e.g. protons, gas particles, or even household dust), "particle physics" usually investigates the irreducibly smallest detectable particles and the fundamental interactions necessary to explain their behavior. These elementary particles are excitations of the quantum fields that also govern their interactions. The currently dominant theory explaining these fundamental particles and fields, along with their dynamics, is called the Standard Model. Modern particle physics generally investigates the Standard Model and its possible extensions, e.g. to the newest "known" particle, the Higgs boson, or even to the oldest known force field, gravity. In the last 30 years, physicists have achieved a profound understanding of the fundamental particles and the physical laws that govern matter, energy, space and time. Researchers have subjected this 'Standard Model' to countless experimental tests; and, again and again, its predictions have held true. The series of experimental and theoretical breakthroughs that combined to produce the Standard Model can truly be celebrated as one of the great scientific triumphs of the 20th century. Now, in a development that some have compared to Copernicus's recognition that the earth is not the center of the solar system, startling new data have revealed that only five percent of the universe is made of normal, visible matter described by the Standard Model. Ninety-five percent of the universe consists of dark matter and dark energy whose fundamental nature is a mystery. The Standard Model's orderly and elegant view of the universe must be incorporated into a deeper theory that can explain the new phenomena. The result will be a revolution in particle physics as dramatic as any that have come before. Nine interrelated questions define the path ahead.1. Are there undiscovered principles of nature: new symmetries, new physical laws?2. How can we solve the mystery of dark energy?3. Are there extra dimensions of space?4. Do all forces become one?5. Why are there so many kinds of particles?6. What is dark matter? How can we make it in the laboratory?7. What are neutrinos telling us?8. How did the universe come to be?9. What happened to the antimatter.…
