| Description | XXIII, 284 p. 153 illus., 64 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | "Fascinating details and anecdotes accompany this engaging account of the emergence of dramatic new ideas and forms in music over the centuries..." David Politzer, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics. "A thought-provoking, stimulating, and highly original exploration of deep metaphorical links between music and physics...Highly recommended." Prof. Ian Stewart FRS, author, What???s the Use? "An astonishing book!" Tristan Murail, composer and co-creator of the "spectral" technique. Have you ever wondered about the connection between Pauli???s exclusion principle and Schoenberg???s dodecaphony? Or the symphonic echoes of Heisenberg???s uncertainty principle in the compositions of Stockhausen and Cage? The author???s unique methodology offers a fresh perspective, linking the language of mathematics and physics to the creation of musical scores. This book transcends the boundaries of physics and music, and demonstrates that modern physics and contemporary music were born not out of chance???their emergence and development were inevitable events. Dive into philosophical discourses on time, witness the metamorphosis of Boolean algebra, bits, and qubits into musical notation, and discover the limitations of the 12-tone scale mirrored in the speed of light. The author explores the musical endeavors of great physicists like Max Planck and Albert Einstein, unraveling the quantum entanglement of physics mirrored in the extended techniques of contemporary music and unveiling the musical universe of Werner Heisenberg through captivating personal encounters with his descendants. Crafted for general readers and seasoned experts alike, the book maintains clarity and style, ensuring accessibility without sacrificing depth. This pioneering exploration not only draws connections between modern physics and music but also serves as a unique bridge for scientists, musicians, and the curious general audience. Requiring no formal background in physics or music, the book is a compelling read for those intrigued by the uncharted territories where science and art converge, offering a concise and illuminating journey into the shadows of the void |

| Title | Stellar Rotation |
| Author(s) | Hanslmeier, Arnold;Braj??a, Roman |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 194 p. 93 illus., 85 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This textbook highlights mechanisms, properties, observations, and research progress of solar and stellar rotation. The rotation of stars is a basic parameter that enters into the dynamo mechanisms that generates stellar activity. The faster stars rotate the higher stellar activity. Moreover, the rotation can also be used to determine stellar ages. Only in the case of the Sun we can directly observe details and therefore determine, e.g., the differential rotation. Thus, the Sun is a prototype for studying other stars. The textbook presents techniques that enable to determine rotation on stars and give a comparison of how stars rotate according to their spectral type and evolution. Special cases are given such as rapidly rotating stars that are strongly deformed into ellipsoids. The textbook is intended for professionals and students in Astrophysicists as well as readers interested in science in general |

| Title | Modern Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics : A Comprehensive Foundation |
| Author(s) | Puri, Ravinder R |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XVI, 399 p. 36 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This undergraduate-level textbook offers a unique and in-depth approach to the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. It covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics using both traditional and postulatory approaches, including origin of the concept of thermodynamic entropy, Euler???s equation, Gibbs-Duhem relations, stability of equilibrium, and the concept of thermodynamic potentials, and that of independent thermodynamic observables. The book then delves into the microscopic foundation of thermodynamics, starting with the kinetic theory and highlighting its historical development. Boltzmann's concept of entropy is explored, along with its applications in deriving Planck???s, Bose???s, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac distribution functions. The formal structure of classical and quantum statistical mechanics is built based on the concept of statistical entropy and the maximum entropy principle and used to investigate in detail the thermodynamic properties of ideal classical and quantum systems. The book also covers phase transitions, simple theory of critical phenomena, and the theory of interacting van der Waals gases. Throughout the text, the book provides historical context, enriching the reader's understanding. This textbook is a valuable resource for undergraduate physics students, offering comprehensive coverage, including overlooked topics, and a historical perspective on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics |

| Title | Introduction to Non-linear Mechanics : A Unified Energetical Approach |
| Author(s) | Stolz, Claude |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 334 p. 61 illus., 14 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents an introduction to the non-linear mechanics of materials, focusing on a unified energetical approach. It begins by summarizing the framework of a thermodynamic description of continua, including a description of the kinematics of deformation, and a summary of the equations of motion. After a short description of the motion of the system and the mechanical interaction, the book introduces the Lagrangean and Hamiltonian functionals of the system, transitioning to the quasistatic characterization with emphasis on the role of potential energy and pseudo-potential of dissipation. The framework is then extended to fracture and damage mechanics with a similar energetical approach proposed for material damage and wear. The book looks at homogenization in non-linear mechanics for locally plastic or damaged material with an analysis of stability and bifurcation of the equilibrium path. Lastly, inverse problems in non-linear mechanics are introduced using optimal control theory. All the concepts introduced in the book are illustrated using analytical solutions on beams, rods, plates, or using spherical and cylindrical symmetries. Graduate students and researchers working on continuum mechanics and interested in a deeper understanding of materials damage, wear, and fatigue will find this book instructive and informative |

| Title | What Is Energy? : An Answer Based on the Evolution of a Concept |
| Author(s) | Lopes Coelho, Ricardo |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | IX, 195 p. 37 illus., 8 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a solution to the problem with the energy concept. This problem manifests itself in the fact that physicists clearly diverge regarding the question of what energy is. Some define it but others state that we do not know what it is. Although this is a problem for physicists who need to explain the concept, it is not a problem for physics that can be solved by laboratory means. Penetrating into the origin of the notion of energy, this book offers a clear idea of what was discovered and what was invented to interpret the findings. Following the development of the concept, it provides an explanation of the trends in contemporary textbooks. The author's repetition, in his "History and Philosophy of Physics Laboratory", of Joule???s famous experiment ??? the paddle wheel experiment ??? with a calorimeter as originally used by Joule and with a calorimeter as proposed in textbooks, is presented, yielding new insight into the phenomenon. Thus, science teachers andstudents will benefit from reading the book as well as historians, philosophers, students of the history and philosophy of science, and all who are interested in knowing about what it is that we call energy |
