Silent Snow: The Slow Poisoning of the Arctic by Marla Cone

Traditionally thought of as the last great unspoiled territory on Earth, the Arctic is in reality home to some of the most contaminated people and animals on the planet. Awarded a major grant to conduct an exhaustive study of the deteriorating environment of the Arctic by the Pew Charitable Trusts (the first time Pew has given such a grant to a journalist), Los Angeles Times environmental reporter Marla Cone traveled across the Arctic, from Greenland to the Aleutian Islands, to find out why the Arctic is toxic.

Multipole Theory In Electromagnetism

Multipole Theory In Electromagnetism: Classical, Quantum, And Symmetry Aspects, With Applications (International Series of Monographs on Physics) 1st Edition by R. E. Raab (Author), O. L. de Lange (Author)

This book provides an introduction to the classical, quantum and symmetry aspects of multipole theory, demonstrating the successes of the theory and also its unphysical aspects. It presents a transformation theory, which removes these unphysical properties.

Field Theory, the Renormalization Group, and Critical Phenomena: Graphs to Computers

This volume links field theory methods and concepts from particle physics with those in critical phenomena and statistical mechanics, the development starting from the latter point of view. Rigor and lengthy proofs are trimmed by using the phenomenological framework of graphs, power counting, etc., and field theoretic methods with emphasis on renormalization group techniques.

Mesh Enhancement: Selected Elliptic Methods, Foundations And Applications

This book focuses on mesh (grid) enhancement techniques - specifically, the use of selected elliptic methods for both structured and unstructured meshes associated with computational physics applications. Mesh enhancement is the process in which an existing mesh is modified to better meet the requirements of the physics application.

Analysis II: Differential and Integral Calculus, Fourier Series, Holomorphic Functions by Roger Godement, P. Spain

Functions in R and C, including the theory of Fourier series, Fourier integrals and part of that of holomorphic functions, form the focal topic of these two volumes.

Based on a course given by the author to large audiences at Paris VII University for many years, the exposition proceeds somewhat nonlinearly, blending rigorous mathematics skilfully with didactical and historical considerations.
