| Title | First galaxies: Theoretical Predictions and Observational Clues |
| Author(s) | Tommy Wiklind (ed.);Bahram Mobasher (ed.);Volker Bromm (ed.) |
| Publication | Berlin, Springer-Verlag, 2013. |
| Description | x, 429p. |
| Series | (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) |
| Abstract Note | This volume brings together leading experts in the field to discuss our current level of understanding and what may come in the near future as our observational as well as theoretical tools improve. The book confronts the theory of how the first stars, black holes, and galaxies formed with current and planned observations. This synthesis is very timely, just ahead of the establishment of major new facilities, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a next-generation, millimeter/sub-millimeter observatory in the Atacama desert (ALMA), and ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT). Together, they will revolutionize the study of the most distant objects in the Universe. |

| Title | Synthesis of the elements: The Astrophysical Quest for Nucleosynthesis and What It Can tell Us About the Universe |
| Author(s) | Giora Shaviv |
| Publication | Berlin, Springer-Verlag, 2012. |
| Description | xxii, 684p. |
| Series | (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) |
| Abstract Note | This book describes the origins and evolution of the chemical elements we and the cosmos are made of. The story starts with the discovery of the common elements on Earth and their subsequent discovery in space. How do we learn the composition of the distant stars? How did progress in quantum theory, nuclear physics, spectroscopy, stellar structure and evolution, together with observations of stars, converge to provide an incredibly detailed picture of the universe? How does research in the micro-world explain the macro-world? How does progress in one affect the other, or lack of knowledge in one inhibit progress in the other? In short, Shaviv describes how we discovered the various pieces of the jigsaw that form our present picture of the universe; and how we sometimes put these in the wrong place before finding in the right one. |

| Title | Physics of the Manhattan project |
| Author(s) | B. Cameron Reed |
| Edition | 2nd. |
| Publication | Berlin, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2011. |
| Description | xiii, 170p. |
| Abstract Note | The development of nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project is one of the most significant scientific events of the twentieth century. This book, prepared by a gifted teacher of physics, explores the challenges that faced the members of the Manhattan project. In doing so it gives a clear introduction to fission weapons at the level of an upper-level undergraduate physics student. Details of nuclear reactions, their energy release, the fission process, how critical masses can be estimated, how fissile materials are produced, and what factors complicate bomb design are covered. An extensive list of references and a number of problems for self-study are included. Links are given to several spreadsheets with which users can run many of the calculations for themselves. |

| Title | Symmetries and group theory in particle physics: An Introduction to Space-time and Internal Symmetries |
| Author(s) | Giovanni Costa;Gianluigi Fogli |
| Publication | Berlin, Springer-Verlag, 2012. |
| Description | xiii, 291p. |
| Series | (Lecture note in physics) |
| Abstract Note | Symmetries, coupled with the mathematical concept of group theory, are an essential conceptual backbone in the formulation of quantum field theories capable of describing the world of elementary particles. This primer is an introduction to and survey of the underlying concepts and structures needed in order to understand and handle these powerful tools. Specifically, in Part I of the book the symmetries and related group theoretical structures of the Minkowskian space-time manifold are analyzed, while Part II examines the internal symmetries and their related unitary groups, where the interactions between fundamental particles are encoded as we know them from the present standard model of particle physics. This book, based on several courses given by the authors, addresses advanced graduate students and non-specialist researchers wishing to enter active research in the field, and having a working knowledge of classical field theory and relativistic quantum mechanics. Numerous end-of-chapter problems and their solutions will facilitate the use of this book as self-study guide or as course book for topical lectures. |

| Description | xiii, 298p. |
| Abstract Note | Written for amateur astronomers, school and college science students and for those with a more general interest in science, Galaxies in Turmoil provides a readable, non-mathematical account of one of the hottest areas of astronomical research.
Galaxies in Turmoil is equally suitable for practical amateur astronomers, or as a text for college courses including galaxies, active galaxies, quasars, deep-space objects and large-scale astronomy, up to the final year of an astrophysics, physics or science degree. |
