Master the central ideas of physics that shape the world we live in today.

Beyond the Big Bang presents a new cutting-edge theory from a pioneering scientist about the origins of our universe.;;Professor Laura Mersini-Houghton takes the reader through a brief history of ideas about the universe from ancient Greece to the latest frontiers of theory and observation, in which the author has been a leading participant, to bring us to her theory that our universe is not just one isolated phenomenon, but one of many, part of what she calls "the multiverse". ; ;Blending the

The Second Edition of this systematic, comprehensive text is revised to include topics developed in the last decade. A new final part presents more than 90 problems with detailed solutions, making this an indispensable book for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics.

This is a textbook for the standard undergraduate-level course in thermal physics. The book explores applications to engineering, chemistry, biology, geology, atmospheric science, astrophysics, cosmology, and everyday life.

This digital teacher's resource is the perfect companion to the coursebook and workbooks, helping you bridge the gap between teaching theory and practice. It helps you support your learners, plan great lessons and teach to the syllabus. Including a guide to practicals, the resource also provides a variety of active lesson ideas with timings. There is support to develop and enhance students' investigative skills, with a step-by-step approach tailored to syllabus objectives. For each topic there

A re-issued edition of this well-known modern astrophysics textbook. Designed for astronomy and physics majors, the Second Edition covers every major area of modern astrophysics, from the solar system and stellar astronomy to galactic and extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology, in one comprehensive and engaging volume.

Now brought up to date, this improved second edition is ideal for classical mechanics courses for first- and second-year undergraduates with foundation skills in mathematics. The book retains all the features of the first edition, but with new examples taken from recent developments and a solutions manual for instructors at www.cambridge.org/kandk.

Ideal for a one-semester course, this concise textbook covers basic electronics for undergraduate students in science and engineering. Readers are shown how to work with electronic circuits and apply the techniques they have learnt. Laboratory exercises and solutions to the exercises (password-protected for instructors) are available online.

Atmospheric Pollution provides an accessible introduction to major atmospheric pollution topics: urban outdoor air pollution, indoor air pollution, acid deposition, stratospheric ozone reduction, global climate change. It will form an ideal textbook for students, a valuable reference text for researchers, and an introduction to the subject for general audiences.

This is the revised and updated version of an established textbook. It describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals. These tools include gravity, magnetic, seismic, electrical, electromagnetic, and radioactivity studies.
