| Title | Solar Sailing : Technology, Dynamics and Mission Applications |
| Author(s) | McInnes, Colin R |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 1999. |
| Description | XXIX, 296 p. 115 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Solar sailing offers the possibility of low-cost long-distance missions, impossible for any other type of conventional spacecraft. The book provides a detailed account of solar sailing, at a high technical level but in a way accessible to the scientifically informed layman. Solar sail orbital dynamics and solar radiation pressure form the foundations of the book, but the engineering design of solar sails is also considered, along with potential mission applications. This book introduces the subject and at the same time provides a technical reference source |

| Title | A History of Astronomy : from 1890 to the Present |
| Author(s) | Leverington, David |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 1995. |
| Description | XII, 388 p. 69 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The history of astronomy is, like most history, a multidimensional story, and when writing about a specific period, the author has to decide how to handle all the developments of earlier times in order to set the scene. I have done this by starting most chapters of the book with a summary of astronomical knowledge at the beginning of our chosen period, together with a brief review of how such knowledge had been gained. This story is not only interesting in itself, but it will also assist those readers that would appreciate a brief reminder of some of the basic elements of astronomy. It is also necessary to decide when to start our history. Should it be the year 1900 or 1890, or should it be linked to some key development or investigation, e. g. the discovery of the electron by J. J. Thomson in 1897, or the discovery of spectroscopic binary stars by Pickering and Vogel (independently) in 1889, or maybe the year 1890 in which Thomas Edison tried unsuccessfully to detect radio waves from the Sun and Johannes Rydberg published his formula for atomic spectra? I have, in fact, decided to start this history at about 1890, as it was the year of publication of the Draper Memorial Catalogue of stellar spectra which, together with its updates, provided essential data for the understanding of stellar spectra until well into the twentieth century. This date also gives a clear hundred years up to the present |

| Title | The Physics of Golf |
| Author(s) | Jorgensen, Theodore P |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1999. |
| Description | XII, 189 p. 3 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Improve your golf game by learning the underlying fundamentals of the golf swing in this acclaimed, unique contribution to the sport. Finally, you???ll understand: why shortening your backswing doesn???t substantially decrease clubhead velocity what components contribute to the optimal swing and what variations are acceptable how and why properly shifting your weight adds to distance why a golf ball behaves and spins as it does and much more. Written by a physicist after some twenty years of research, Physics of Golf is the only book devoted exclusively to explaining the science behind a successful golf game. Technical appendices offer details for the so inclined. The revised and expanded second now offers you: -new material on high-tech club designs -a complete new chapter on short putts -additional applications of physics to the problems every player faces. "Jorgensen tells golfers what they ought to be doing and why, the correct technique according to the principles of physics." -Golf Weekly "???gives new insights and precise views into the forces and torques developed in the downswing???Thank you, Dr. Jorgensen???We will all treasure your book." -American Golf Pro "The heart of golfer Ted Jorgensen???s delightful book lies in his analysis of the swing of the golf club and how, armed with insights from that analysis, you, he and I might all swing the club better and play better golf???[The book] is designed to be accessible to the casual reader while satisfying the critical student. But first word or last, for anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read." -Physics Today "This very enjoyable book covers most aspects of golf from the swing, to club selection, golf balls, and human motion." -Applied Mechanics Review |

| Title | Microcontinuum Field Theories : I. Foundations and Solids |
| Author(s) | Eringen, A. Cemal |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1999. |
| Description | XVI, 325 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Microcontinuum field theories constitute an extension of classical field theories -- of elastic bodies, deformations, electromagnetism, and the like -- to microscopic spaces and short time scales. Material bodies are here viewed as collections of large numbers of deformable particles, much as each volume element of a fluid in statistical mechanics is viewed as consisting of a large number of small particles for which statistical laws are valid. Classical continuum theories are valid when the characteristic length associated with external forces or stimuli is much larger than any internal scale of the body under consideration. When the characteristic lengths are comparable, however, the response of the individual constituents becomes important, for example, in considering the fluid or elastic properties of blood, porous media, polymers, liquid crystals, slurries, and composite materials. This volume is concerned with the kinematics of microcontinua. It begins with a discussion of strain, stress tensors, balance laws, and constitutive equations, and then discusses applications of the fundamental ideas to the theory of elasticity |

| Title | Clifford (Geometric) Algebras : with applications to physics, mathematics, and engineering |
| Author(s) | Baylis, William E |
| Publication | Boston, MA, 1. Birkh??user Boston
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 1996. |
| Description | XVIII, 517 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume is an outgrowth of the 1995 Summer School on Theoretical Physics of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP), held in Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies, from July 30 to August 12,1995. The chapters, based on lectures given at the School, are designed to be tutorial in nature, and many include exercises to assist the learning process. Most lecturers gave three or four fifty-minute lectures aimed at relative novices in the field. More emphasis is therefore placed on pedagogy and establishing comprehension than on erudition and superior scholarship. Of course, new and exciting results are presented in applications of Clifford algebras, but in a coherent and user-friendly way to the nonspecialist. The subject area of the volume is Clifford algebra and its applications. Through the geometric language of the Clifford-algebra approach, many concepts in physics are clarified, united, and extended in new and sometimes surprising directions. In particular, the approach eliminates the formal gaps that traditionally separate clas?? sical, quantum, and relativistic physics. It thereby makes the study of physics more efficient and the research more penetrating, and it suggests resolutions to a major physics problem of the twentieth century, namely how to unite quantum theory and gravity. The term "geometric algebra" was used by Clifford himself, and David Hestenes has suggested its use in order to emphasize its wide applicability, and b& cause the developments by Clifford were themselves based heavily on previous work by Grassmann, Hamilton, Rodrigues, Gauss, and others |
