StatisticalPhysics ofBiomoleculesAn IntroductionDaniel M. ZuckermanUniversity of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania, USA

In a down-to-earth presentation, this bookmakes the traditionally hard-to-penetrate pres-entation of some of most intimidating, butimportant theories of molecular biophysics, eas-ily accessible. Students build a foundationalunderstanding by initially focusing on probabili-ty theory, low-dimensional models, and the sim-plest molecular systems. The basics are thendirectly developed for biophysical phenomena,such as water behavior, protein binding, andconformational changes. The book’s develop-ment of equilibrium and dynamical statisticalphysics makes this a valuable text for studentswith limited physics and chemistry back-grounds.

Beyond the Standard Model

Based on the author’s well-established courses,this text explores the use of symmetries throughdescriptions of the techniques of Lie groups andLie algebras. The text develops the models, theo-retical framework, and mathematical tools tounderstand these symmetries.

Goes beyond the standard model to exploresupertransformations, superpsace methods,

and more

After linking symmetries with conservation laws,the book works through the mathematics ofangular momentum and extends operators andfunctions of classical mechanics to quantummechanics. It then covers the mathematicalframework for special relativity and the internalsymmetries of the standard model of elementaryparticle physics.

In the chapter on Noether’s theorem, the authorexplains how Lagrangian formalism provides anatural framework for the quantum mechanicalinterpretation of symmetry principles. He thenexamines electromagnetic, weak, and stronginteractions; spontaneous symmetry breaking;the elusive Higgs boson; and supersymmetry. Healso introduces new techniques based on extend-ing space–time into dimensions described byanticommuting coordinates.

Designed for graduate and advanced undergrad-uate students in physics, this text helps studentsunderstand current knowledge about the stan-dard model as well as the physics that potentiallylies beyond it.

This text presents an advanced introduction tothe physics and formalism of the standard modeland other non-abelian gauge theories. It firstreviews calculational techniques in field theoryand the status of quantum electrodynamics. Itthen focuses on global and local symmetries andthe construction of non-abelian gauge theories,before explaining the structure and tests of quan-tum chromodynamics.

The book also describes the electroweak interac-tions and theory. The final chapter discusses themotivations for extending the standard modeland examines supersymmetry, extended gaugegroups, and grand unification.

Written by well-known physics author andteacher Dr. Jonathan Allday, Quantum Reality:Theory and Philosophy cuts through much ofthe confusion to provide students with an explo-ration of quantum theory that is as authoritative-ly comprehensive as it is intriguingly comprehen-sible.

This volume requires only an interest in under-standing how quantum theory came to be andthe myriad ways it both explains how our uni-verse functions and extends the reach of humanknowledge.

Features:

• Presents a thorough grounding in the theoretical machinery of quantum physics

• Offers a whistle-stop tour through the earlyhistory of the 20th century when the foundingfathers of quantum theory forever altered the frontiers of human thought

• Provides an example-filled interpretation ofthe theory, its applications, and its pinnacle in quantum field theory (QFT)

The world beneath the one that we experiencewith our senses is profoundly mysterious, andwhile we may never completely unravel that mys-tery, quantum theory allows us to come closerthan ever to understanding where the scienceleaves off and the mystery begins. QuantumReality: Theory and Philosophy makes thatunderstanding accessible to anyone possessing aquest for knowledge and a sense of awe.

This groundbreaking work emphasizes a practical,technical, and interpretive foundation for under-standing the diagnostic use of modern imaging inforensic autopsy. It covers advanced imagingtechniques, such as radiography, multidetectorcomputed tomography (MDCT), angiography,and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The authors focus on images derived from MDCTand MRI that are likely to replace or limit con-ventional autopsy dissection. Following an intro-duction to basic concepts and a review of imag-ing techniques, chapters are organized by causeof death. The atlas-like presentation is supportedby full text explanations that review relevantforensic principles.
