| Title | Rejuvenating the Sun and Avoiding Other Global Catastrophes |
| Author(s) | Beech, Martin |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2008. |
| Description | XII, 228 p. 40 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Our Sun is aging. Like us, it will someday die, and the light that warms and illuminates our planet will go out. All life on Earth will perish with it???unless we do something to stop it. Is that possible? Martin Beech thinks it is, but we must begin to plan and create the technologies that will save us NOW! Of course, we do not expect the Sun???s demise to happen anytime soon. The Sun is only about halfway through its expected lifetime. We are talking about an event that will not take place for billions of years. But it may take that long to engineer (actually, asteroengineer) our way out of the crisis. And in the meantime, we can use the newly developed knowledge and technologies to protect us from more immediate threats, such as asteroid and comet hits, global warming, and mass extinctions. For us to keep the Sun shining, we must first change our attitudes. We must put profit and short-term thinking aside. And we must come together to share the risks and costs of the necessary endeavors. Martin Beech will lay out for you, in startling clear and compelling fashion, some basic star science, what the issues are, and how you can join in this massive undertaking to prevent global disaster and keep us in the Sun???s life-giving light for the foreseeable future |

| Title | Strong Field Laser Physics |
| Author(s) | Brabec, Thomas |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2009. |
| Description | XV, 592 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Since the invention of the laser in the 1960s, people have strived to reach higher intensities and shorter pulse durations. High intensities and ultrashort pulse durations are intimately related. Recent developments have shown that high intensity lasers also open the way to realize pulses with the shortest durations to date, giving birth to the field of attosecond science (1 asec = 10-18s). This book is about high-intensity lasers and their applications. The goal is to give an up to date introduction to the technology behind these laser systems and to the broad range of intense laser applications. These applications include AMO (atomic molecular and optical) physics, x-ray science, attosecond science, plasma physics and particle acceleration, condensed matter science and laser micromachining, and finally even high-energy physics |

| Title | Fundamentals in Nuclear Physics : From Nuclear Structure to Cosmology |
| Author(s) | Basdevant, Jean-Louis;Rich, James;Spiro, Michael |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2005. |
| Description | XIV, 516 p. 184 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This course explores nuclear physics and its applications ranging from the structure of nuclei and their reactions, to astrophysics and cosmology. The physics is introduced with arguments based on simple ideas such as the empirical structure of nuclear forces and its interplay with the Pauli principle and Coulomb repulsion. The book then develops elementary nuclear models and illustrates nuclear systematics with experimental data. Reactions and decays are discussed both phenomenologically and from the point of view of fundamental electro-weak interaction theory. The discussions of fission and fusion emphasize nuclear energy production. This leads directly into nuclear astrophysics and nucleosynthesis. The book ends with a presentation of the latest ideas about cosmology. As a primer this course will lay the foundations for more specialized subjects within the vast domain of nuclear physics as a whole. This book emerged from a series of topical courses the authors delivered at the Ecole Polytechnique and will be useful for advanced undergraduates and for scientists in a variety of fields |

| Title | Introduction to Plasma Spectroscopy |
| Author(s) | Kunze, Hans-Joachim |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. |
| Description | XII, 242 p. 87 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Although based on lectures given for graduate students and postgraduates starting in plasma physics, this concise introduction to the fundamental processes and tools is as well directed at established researchers who are newcomers to spectroscopy and seek quick access to the diagnostics of plasmas ranging from low- to high-density technical systems at low temperatures, as well as from low- to high-density hot plasmas. Basic ideas and fundamental concepts are introduced as well as typical instrumentation from the X-ray to the infrared spectral regions. Examples, techniques and methods illustrate the possibilities. This book directly addresses the experimentalist who actually has to carry out the experiments and their interpretation. For that reason about half of the book is devoted to experimental problems, the instrumentation, components, detectors and calibration |

| Title | Fenomeni radioattivi : Dai nuclei alle stelle |
| Author(s) | Bendiscioli, Giorgio |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2013. |
| Description | XVI, 498 pagg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Questo volume raccoglie le lezioni del Corso di Radioattivit?? impartite, inizialmente dall???autore e successivamente da suoi collaboratori, agli studenti di Fisica presso l???Universit?? di Pavia. I temi trattati costituiscono un???introduzione ai fenomeni radioattivi in senso stretto con escursioni, aventi come base di partenza e filo conduttore il decadimento beta, nel campo della fisica delle particelle elementari, in particolare dei neutrini, e dell???astrofisica. Alcuni argomenti sono tradizionali, altri riguardano la fisica di frontiera cos?? che al lettore sono offerti particolari itinerari dalla fisica consolidata alla fisica in evoluzione. Ovviamente, per quanto riguarda quest???ultima, i risultati sperimentali riportati e i relativi commenti hanno carattere di provvisoriet??. Per questa ragione, in questa edizione del testo, ?? stata rivolta particolare attenzione all???aggiornamento dei risultati relativi allo studio dei neutrini nell???ambito del doppio decadimento beta e delle oscillazioni di neutrino. In ogni caso, gli argomenti discussi rappresentano una scelta, per qualche verso arbitraria, del vasto materiale disponibile e vengono proposti con carattere introduttivo e non esaustivo. La comprensione dei vari temi presuppone il possesso delle nozioni normalmente impartite nei primi tre anni del Corso di Laurea in Fisica |

| Title | From the Atomic Bomb to the Landau Institute : Autobiography. Top Non-Secret |
| Author(s) | Khalatnikov, Isaak M |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XII, 216 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The book is an expanded autobiography of the famous theoretical physicist Isaak Khalatnikov. He worked together with L.D. Landau at the Institute for Physical Problems lead by P.L. Kapitza. He is the co-author of L.D. Landau in a number of important works. They worked together in the frame of the so-called Nuclear Bomb Project. After the death of L.D. Landau, I.M. Khalatnikov initiated the establishment of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, named in honour of L.D. Landau, within the USSR Academy of Sciences. He headed this institute from the beginning as its Director. The institute inherited almost all traditions of the Landau scientific school and played a prominent role in the development of theoretical physics. So, this is a story about how the institute was created, how it worked, and about the life of the physicists in the "golden age" of the Soviet science. A separate chapter is devoted to today??s life of the institute and the young generation of physicists working now in science. It is an historically interesting book on the development of Soviet and Russian science and presents the background of the Soviet nuclear bomb program in the cold war age. In war times, Khalatnikov was a chief of the military staff of nuclear research. He writes about the internal conditions of Soviet society, the way of operating of the Soviet authorities and ways for scientists to interact with them. It gives many interesting insights into the development of superconductivity and superfluidity. The book is written by the most experienced and best informed person among the few living Russian scientists in the environment of Landau. Many stories of the book were never published before and considered as "top secret" |
