| Title | Demonstrational Optics : Part 1: Wave and Geometrical Optics |
| Author(s) | Marchenko, Oleg M;Kazantsev, Sergi;Windholz, Laurentius |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 2003. |
| Description | IX, 292 p. 38 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Demonstrational Optics presents a new didactical approach to the study of optics. Emphasizing the importance of elaborate new experimental demonstrations, pictorial illustrations, computer simulations and models of optical phenomena in order to ensure a deeper understanding of the general and statistical optics. It includes problems focused on the pragmatic needs of students, secondary school teachers, university professors and optical engineers. This volume aims to present improved teaching methods and practical explanations of optical phenomena. An important feature is the inclusion of elaborate pictorial approach to explaining optical phenomena in parallel to a general mathematical description. The modern approach developed here is also used to illustrate many basic phenomena, complimenting the existing literature. The volume contains a valuable compendium of optical experiments for university, college and senior-school physics teachers. Experiments and modern computer simulations are described within the volume in sufficient detail to allow successful reproduction in a classroom or lecture theatre |

| Title | Hollyweird Science : From Quantum Quirks to the Multiverse |
| Author(s) | Grazier, Kevin R;Cass, Stephen |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XVI, 308 p. 60 illus., 30 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Lighthearted, quirky, and upbeat, this book explores the portrayal of science and technology on both the big and little screen -- and how Hollywood is actually doing a better job of getting it right than ever before. Grounded in the real-word, and often cutting-edge, science and technology that inspires fictional science, the authors survey Hollywood depictions of topics such as quantum mechanics, parallel universes, and alien worlds. Including material from interviews with over two dozen writers, producers, and directors of acclaimed science-themed productions -- as well as scientists, science fiction authors, and science advisors -- Hollyweird Science examines screen science fiction from the sometimes-conflicting vantage points of storytellers, researchers, and viewers. Including a foreword by Eureka co-creator and executive producer Jaime Paglia, and an afterword by astronomer and science fiction author Michael Brotherton, Ph.D., this book is accessible to all readers from the layperson to the armchair expert to the professional scientist, and will delight all of them equally |

| Title | Leonid Isaakovich Mandelstam : Research, Teaching, Life |
| Author(s) | Pechenkin, Alexander |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XI, 241 p. 19 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This biography of the famous Soviet physicist Leonid Isaakovich Mandelstam (1889-1944), who became a Professor at Moscow State University in 1925, describes his contributions to both physics and technology, as well as discussing the scientific community which formed around him, usually called the Mandelstam school. Mandelstam???s life story is thereby placed in its proper cultural context. The following more general issues are taken under consideration: the impact of German scientific culture on Russian science; the problems and fates of Russian intellectuals during the revolutionary and post-revolutionary years; the formation of the Soviet Academy of Sciences; and transformation of the system of higher education in the USSR during the 1920's and 1930's.The author shows that Mandelstam???s fundamental writings and his lectures notes allow to reconstruct his philosophy of science and his approach to the social and ethical functions of science and science education. That reconstruction is enhanced through extensive use of hitherto unpublished archival material as well as the transcripts of personal interviews conducted by the author |

| Title | Introduzione al Laboratorio di Fisica : Misure e Teoria delle Incertezze |
| Author(s) | Ciullo, Giuseppe |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2014. |
| Description | XIV, 250 pagg. 39 figg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Frutto dell'esperienza decennale come supporto per la didattica di laboratori di fisica sia a livello di corsi triennali che di corsi di laurea magistrale, il libro si ?? concretizzato nella "responsabilit??" di tali corsi di laboratorio per fornire un opera di utilizzo dei vari strumenti, che un approccio sperimentale alla fisica richiede. Si parte dalla descrizione delle problematiche delle incertezze in modo operativo e si introducono i concetti fondamentali per l'analisi dei dati e la misura. Invece di una serie dispersiva di testi, con approcci, convenzioni e simbolismi differenti, poco fruibili per l'applicazione diretta ad un laboratorio dei primi anni, il libro fornisce le indicazioni utili per affrontare lo studio dei fenomeni fisici in modo immediato, fornendo anche indicazioni rigorose e giustificazioni teoriche. Lo stimolo teorico-pratico, che uno sperimentale-scienziato deve percepire, non esula dal comprendere problematiche di maggiore approfondimento. L'opera rende fruibili concetti e strumenti, con giustificazioni intuitive e ove possibile rigorose, comunque forniti in un quadro scientificamente consolidato ed utilizzabili praticamente, come richiesto proprio ad un approccio educativo e formativo utile per lo studio della disciplina scientifica |

| Title | La strana storia della luce e del colore |
| Author(s) | Guzzi, Rodolfo |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2011. |
| Description | X, 190 pagg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Sino al 1600 la luce era oggetto di studio degli scienziati ed il colore dei filosofi. Questa dicotomia fu superata dall???Esperimentum Crucis di Newton che spiego??? come la luce contenesse il colore. Il libro analizza le teorie che furono sviluppate dai greci, per evolversi successivamente nelle teorie degli scienziati arabi e approdare al medio evo. Con l???Esperimentum Crucis Newton dimostro??? che la luce conteneva i colori primari. Tra gli esperimenti che egli fece ci furono anche quelli sulla percezione che risultarono sbagliati; solo Goethe capi??? quale era la vera portata di quegli esperimenti e li rifece dando una interpretazione che, oggi, sappiamo essere vera, ma che a quel tempo fu alquanto osteggiata. Nel frattempo la comunita??? scientifica progrediva sul concetto di visione e di sensazione, poiche??? gli strumenti di indagine si raffinavano. Bisogna pero??? arrivare ai giorni nostri per avere una spiegazione sul comportamento della luce e del colore e come questa viene percepita da noi. Solo con la nascita della fisica moderna e della QED (Quanto Elettro Dinamica) si incomincio??? a scoprire la vera essenza della luce e del colore e solo con lo studio delle neuroscienze si inizio??? a capire quali aree del cervello fossero interessate al colore. Queste scienze sono ancora agli albori e ogni giorno subiscono delle variazioni per cui, qui, verranno trattate solo quelle scoperte che hanno un fondamento stabile. Il libro ha un taglio divulgativo e si rivolge a persone di media cultura, pur trattando gli argomenti in modo approfondito ed esaustivo |

| Title | It Came From Outer Space Wearing an RAF Blazer! : A Fan's Biography of Sir Patrick Moore |
| Author(s) | Mobberley, Martin |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2013. |
| Description | XXVI, 655 p. 80 illus., 30 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | To British television viewers, the name ???Patrick Moore??? has been synonymous with Astronomy and Space Travel since he first appeared on The Sky at Night in 1957. To amateur astronomers he has been a source of inspiration, joy, humour and even an eccentric role model since that time. Most people know that his 55 years of presenting The Sky at Night is a world record, but what was he really like in person??? What did he do away from the TV cameras, in his observatory, and within the British Astronomical Association, the organisation that inspired him as a youngster? Also, precisely what did he do during the War Years, a subject that has always been shrouded in mystery? Martin Mobberley, a friend of Patrick Moore???s for 30 years, and a former President of the British Astronomical Association, has spent ten years exhaustively researching Patrick???s real life away from the TV cameras. His childhood, RAF service, tireless voluntary work for astronomy and charity and his endless book writing are all examined in detail. His astronomical observations are also examined in unprecedented detail, along with the battles he fought along the way and his hatred of bureaucracy and political correctness. No fan of Sir Patrick Moore can possibly live without this work on their bookshelf! |

| Title | Return to the Far Side of Planet Moore! : Rambling Through Observations, Friendships and Antics of Sir Patrick Moore |
| Author(s) | Mobberley, Martin |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XIV, 419 p. 201 illus., 116 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The result of an exhaustive study of Sir Patrick Moore???s observations of the Moon and planets for more than 60 years, this book is a fantastic companion to the extremely popular, ???It Came From Outer Space Wearing an RAF Blazer!??? written by the same author.?? Moore recorded his telescopic observations in his logbooks, which are reproduced and described here in detail, along with his sketches and notes. In this light, the author discusses the factors that caused Moore to switch from lunar observing to planetary and variable star observing.?? He has also included personal recollections and humorous anecdotes from Moore???s friends and acquaintances, as well as a look at his best loved books. Further chapters describe Moore???s foreign travels and correspondence with those back home. Lastly, the author has not neglected a few of Moore???s most memorable television and radio appearances, which are examined along with a close up of what it was like to visit Moore???s beloved home of Farthings in Selsey. Essentially, this is a book written by popular demand from the readers of the author???s original biography, who craved more of Moore! |

| Title | Understanding the Universe : An Introduction to Physics and Astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Seaborn, James B |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1998. |
| Description | XII, 304 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | For the last eighteen years, I have been teaching an introductory course in as?? trophysics. The course is intended for nonscience majors satisfying a general education requirement in natural science. It is a physics course with applications in astronomy. The only prerequisite is the high school mathematics required for ad?? mission to the university. For a number of years, I used an astronomy text, which I supplemented with lecture notes on physics. There are many good astronomy texts available, but this was not a satisfactory state of affairs, since the course is a physics course. The students needed a physics text that focused on astronomical applications. Over the last few years, I have developed a text which my students have been using in manuscript form in this course. This book is an outgrowth of that effort. The purpose of the book is to develop the physics that describes the behavior of matter here on the earth and use it to try to understand the things that are seen in the heavens. Following a brief discussion of the history of astronomy from the Greeks through the Copernican Revolution, we begin to develop the physics needed to understand three important problems at a level accessible to undergraduate nonscience majors: (1) the solar system, (2) the structure and evolution of stars, and (3) the early universe. All ofthese are related to the fundamental problem of how matter and energy behave in space and time |
