| Title | The Scientist as Philosopher : Philosophical Consequences of Great Scientific Discoveries |
| Author(s) | Weinert, Friedel |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2005. |
| Description | XI, 344 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | How do major scientific discoveries reshape their originators???, and our own, sense of reality and concept of the physical world? The Scientist as Philosopher explores the interaction between physics and philosophy. Clearly written and well illustrated, the book first places the scientist-philosophers in the limelight as we learn how their great scientific discoveries forced them to reconsider the time-honored notions with which science had described the natural world. Then, the book explains that what we understand by nature and science have undergone fundamental conceptual changes as a result of the discoveries of electromagnetism, thermodynamics and atomic structure. Even more dramatically, the quantum theory and special theory of relativity questioned traditional assumptions about causation and the passage of time. The author concludes that the dance between science and philosophy is an evolutionary process, which will keep them forever entwined |

| Title | Transmission Electron Microscopy : Physics of Image Formation |
| Author(s) | Reimer, Ludwig;Kohl, Helmut |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2008. |
| Description | XVI, 590 p. 276 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Transmission Electron Microscopy: Physics of Image Formation presents the theory of image and contrast formation, and the analytical modes in transmission electron microscopy. The principles of particle and wave optics of electrons are described. Electron-specimen interactions are discussed for evaluating the theory of scattering and phase contrast. Also discussed are the kinematical and dynamical theories of electron diffraction and their applications for crystal-structure analysis and imaging of lattices and their defects. X-ray microanalysis and electron energy-loss spectroscopy are treated as analytical methods. Specimen damage and contamination by electron irradiation limits the resolution for biological and some inorganic specimens. This fifth edition includes discussion of recent progress, especially in the area of aberration correction and energy filtering; moreover, the topics introduced in the fourth edition have been updated. Transmission Electron Microscopy: Physics of Image Formation is written for scientists and application engineers in fields such as physics, chemistry, mineralogy, materials science and biology. Researchers, students, and other users of a transmission electron microscope can also benefit from this text |

| Title | The Hands-On Guide for Science Communicators : A Step-by-Step Approach to Public Outreach |
| Author(s) | Lindberg Christensen, Lars |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2007. |
| Description | XVI, 270 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Lars Lindberg Christensen is a science communication specialist and works in Munich, Germany, as head of communication for the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in Europe. Many people know something about communication ??? it is after all an innate human ability ??? but a full comprehension of how to do science communication effectively is not acquired easily. This Guide touches upon all aspects of science communication, revealing a tightly interwoven fabric of issues: product types, target groups, written communication, visual communication, validation processes, practices of efficient workflow, distribution, promotion, advertising and much more. New science communicators will find this Guide both helpful and inspirational. "I am overwhelmed at how thorough and how well thought-through this book is. Even with my regular relationships with popular communication and with public relations officers, I hadn???t realized how well documented the field could be until I saw it done here." -Jay M. Pasachoff, Williams College, President, IAU Commission on Education and Development, author of The Cosmos: Astronomy in the New Millennium and The Complete Idiot???s Guide to the Sun "I would have expected a high standard from a public outreach scientist at the European Space Agency, but this soars way above the normal standard of competence. I have certainly learned a great deal from this guide. It deserves a wide readership among science communicators." -Simon Mitton, Author of Conflict in the Cosmos: Fred Hoyle???s Life in Science and Editor of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy" Christensen uses clear principles and well-chosen examples, along with tables, diagrams, and even a press release visibility scale to convey the art and science of Science Communication in an authoritative and illuminating manner." -Stephen P. Maran, Press Officer, AAS, Editor, The Astronomy and Astrophysics Encyclopedia "This book is very well presented, in a good-humored style, with an abundance of practical details. It is a fundamental contribution to the field of science communication towards the public. It is a filling a gap." -Andre Heck, Astronomer, Editor of Astronomy Communication and the Organization and Strategies in Astronomy series |

| Title | Solid ?? State Magnetism |
| Author(s) | Crangle, John |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1991. |
| Description | XII, 206 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Solid state magnetism is important and attempts to understand magnetic properties have led to an increasingly deep insight into the fundamental make up of solids. Both experimental and theoretical research into magnetism continue to be very active, yet there is still much ground to cover before there can be a full understanding. There is a strong interplay between the developments of materials science and of magnetism. Hundreds of new materials have been dis?? covered, often with previously unobserved and puzzling magnetic prop?? erties. A large and growing technology exists that is based on the magnetic properties of materials. Very many devices used in everyday life involve magnetism and new applications are being invented all the time. Under?? standing the fundamental background to the applications is vital to using and developing them. The aim of this book is to provide a simple, up-to-date introduction to the study of solid state magnetism, both intrinsic and technical. It is designed to meet the needs and interests of advanced undergraduate students reading physics; of postgraduates in physical and materials sciences and in engineering; and also those of the practising scientist specializing in another area who requires an introduction to magnetism |

| Title | Methods in Rock Magnetism and Palaeomagnetism : Techniques and instrumentation |
| Author(s) | Collinson, D |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1983. |
| Description | XIV, 503 p. 5 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | During the last 30 years the study of the magnetic properties of rocks and minerals has substantially contributed to several fields of science. Perhaps the best known and most significant advances have resulted from the study of palaeomagnetism, which led to quantitative confirmation of continental drift and polar wandering through interpretation of the direction of remanent magnetism observed in rocks of different ages from different continents. Palaeomagnetism has also, through observations of reversals of magnetiz?? ation, ancient secular variation and ancient field intensities provided data relevant to the origin of the geomagnetic field, and other investigations have contributed significantly to large-scale and local geological studies, the dating of archaeological events and artefacts and more recently to lunar and meteoritic studies. Rock and mineral magnetism has proved to be an interesting study in its own right through the complex magnetic properties and interactions observed in the iron-titanium oxide and iron sulphide minerals, as well as contributing to our understanding of remanent magnetism and magnetization processes in rocks. Simultaneous with the development of these studies has been the develop?? ment of instruments and techniques for the wide range of investigations involved |

| Title | Electron Holography |
| Author(s) | Tonomura, Akira |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1999. |
| Description | XI, 163 p. 78 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Electron holography, a two-step imaging method taking advantage of light and electrons, has been employed for fundamental experiments in physics as well as for high-precision measurements in microscopy. It continues to be advanced in its applications though the speed of the development is not high but steady together with technical improvements of both the coherent electron beam and the reconstruction system. Progress has been made since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1993, and this second edi?? tion with new results integrated is herewith made available. I hope that the present monograph will help develop this interesting field of electron interference further. Hatoyama Akira Tonomura December 1998 v Preface to the First Edition Electron holography has recently paved a new way for observing and meas?? uring microscopic objects and fields that were previously inaccessible em?? ploying other techniques. Full use is made of the extremely short wave?? length of electrons, enabling electron holography to have a great impact on fields ranging from basic science to industrial applications. This book will provide an overview of the present state of electron holography for scien?? tists and engineers entering the field. The principles, techniques and appli?? cations which have already been developed, as well as those which are ex?? pected to arise in the near future, will be discussed |

| Title | High-Energy Physics and Nuclear Structure : Proceedings of the Third International Conference on High Energy Physics and Nuclear Structure sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, held at Columbia University, New York City, September 8???12, 1969 |
| Author(s) | Devons, S |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1970. |
| Description | XLII, 860 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In preparing the program for this Conference, the third in the series, it soon became evident that it was not possible to in?? clude in a conference of reasonable duration all the topics that might be subsumed under the broad title, "High Energy Physics and Nuclear Structure. " From their initiation, in 1963, it has been as much the aim of these Conferences to provide some bridges between the steadily separating domains of particle and nuclear physics, as to explore thoroughly the borderline territory between the two -?? the sort of no-man's-land that lies unclaimed, or claimed by both sides. The past few years have witnessed the rapid development of many new routes connecting the two major areas of 'elementary par?? ticles' and 'nuclear structure', and these now spread over a great expanse of physics, logically perhaps including the whole of both subjects. (As recently as 1954, an International Conference on 'Nuclear and Meson Physics' did, in fact, embrace both fields!) Since it is not now possible to traverse, in one Conference, this whole network of connections, still less to explore the entire ter?? ritory it covers, the choice of topics has to be in some degree arbitrary. It is hoped that ours has served the purpose of fairly exemplifying many areas where physicists, normally separated by their diverse interests, can find interesting and important topics which bring them together |

| Title | Rock and Mineral Magnetism |
| Author(s) | O'Reilly, W |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1984. |
| Description | XII, 220 p. 24 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The past two decades have witnessed a revolution in the earth sciences. The quantitative, instrument-based measurements and physical models of. geophysics, together with advances in technology, have radically transformed the way in which the Earth, and especially its crust, is described. The study of the magnetism of the rocks of the Earth's crust has played a major part in this transformation. Rocks, or more specifically their constituent magnetic minerals, can be regarded as a measuring instrument provided by nature, which can be employed in the service of the earth sciences. Thus magnetic minerals are a recording magnetometer; a goniometer or protractor, recording the directions of flows, fields and forces; a clock; a recording thermometer; a position recorder; astrain gauge; an instrument for geo?? logical surveying; a tracer in climatology and hydrology; a tool in petrology. No instrument is linear, or free from noise and systematic errors, and the performance of nature's instrument must be assessed and certified. This has been the task of the research worker in rock and mineral magnetism |
