The book is a short primer on chemical reaction rates based on a six-lecture first-year undergraduate course taught by the author at the University of Oxford. The book explores the various factors tha
There are more than 20 million chemicals in the literature, with new materials being synthesized each week. Most of these molecules are stable, and the 3-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in the mo
It is generally acknowledged that modeling and simulation are preferred alternatives to trial and error approaches to semiconductor fabrication in the present environment, where the cost of process ru
From Brexit to Trump, communication has clearly never been so influential, continually center stage in influencing our hearts, minds, and the narrative of our civilization. We are surrounded by the im
Whether we are exploring a new idea, new career or new endeavor, we encounter risks, self-doubt and fear. Drawing on behavioral science and selfleadership principles, the strategies and exercises in t
Optical properties, particularly in the infrared range of wavelengths, continue to be of enormous interest to both material scientists and device engineers. The need for the development of standards f
In the 116 year history of the Nobel Prize in Physics, only two women have won the award; Marie Curie (1903) and Maria Mayer (1963). During the 60 years between those awards, several women did work of
Many lessons in sales (and in life) can only really be understood with the benefit of hindsight – for with hindsight comes a broad and deep perspective along with a greater understanding and acceptanc
Buy Low, Sell High… and Here is Why' is a compact finance book that is highly marketable to the business traveler, student or small business owner that needs a brush up on the key concepts of finance.
The development of nuclear weapons by the Manhattan Project during World War II was one of the most dramatic scientific/technological episodes in human history. This book, prepared by a recognized exp
This book provides an introduction to Lie Theory for first year graduate students and professional physicists who may not have across the theory in their studies. In particular, it is a summary overvi
This book outlines the principles of thermoelectric generation and refrigeration from the discovery of the Seebeck and Peltier effects in the nineteenth century through the introduction of semiconduct
This book looks at the early history of nuclear power, at what happened next, and at its longer-term prospects. The main question is: can nuclear power overcome the problems that have emerged? It was
Leading business coach Simon Tyler challenges the traditional idea that success is all about complexity, working harder, doing more, acquiring stuff, or suffering your way through life in order to gai
This book is written for students and other interested readers as a look inside the diverse range of applications for physics outside of the scientific research environment. This first volume covers s
A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo: A guide to particle physics is a brief and ambitious expedition into the remarkably simple ingredients of all the wonders of nature. With hardly a mathematical formula, Pr
The bicycle is a common, yet unique mechanical contraption in our world. In spite of this, the bike's physical and mechanical principles are understood by a select few. You do not have to be a genius
This book provides a broad introductory survey of this remarkable field, aiming to establish and clearly differentiate its physical principles, and also to provide a snapshot portrait of many of the m
