This substantial text provides a solid introduction to the pragmatics of computer networking. It is practical, very hands-on and with enough of the background theory to make sure that network...
In recent years, the extent of video surveillance has risen substantially. This expansion in the ability of both state and private organisations to monitor and record the activities of the public has...
The successful development of engineering applications relies fundamentally on the availability of materials. The selection of a suitable material for a particular application or device is often a...
Materials science is probably the most versatile scientific discipline, encompassing physics, chemistry and most engineering disciplines (eg, mechanical, electrical, aeronautical, civil, etc)....
The field of materials science is unique as it encompasses areas of physics, chemistry, maths and several engineering disciplines. Although this book deals with certain special properties of...
Materials are a vital part of everyday life, utilised extensively in the civil, mechanical, electrical, aeronautical and aviation industries and many more. It is thus important for scientists,...
Solid state theory is an important and imperative part of any syllabus in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science and electrical engineering; for those pursuing an undergraduate degree in...
Thermodynamics is a vitally important area in most physical sciences and engineering disciplines; thus it is imperative for individuals pursuing a degree in those fields to grasp the fundamentals of...
Satisfyingly weighty, Mechanics of Materials contains a multitude of worked examples and theoretical concepts. Not for the total beginner, it assumes an understanding of statics, with the first...

The fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology are now sufficiently mature that most top universities offer a course in these and related subjects. That in turn calls for a textbook. Introduction to...
"Why yet another book on quantum mechanics?" the authors ask. It is courageous of them to pose this obvious question in the first sentence of their book because most new treatments of quantum...
For too many students who take one physics course at college, the subject is just one darned thing after another. Purdue University professor Nicholas Giordano tries to do something about this by...
Einstein's general relativity was once taught only in graduate courses, but no longer. Lewis Ryder, an exceptionally fine teacher at the University of Kent, has written a lucid account of the subject...
The problem with particle physics is that it contains ideas that have only relatively recently been united in a coherent theory. Teaching it to undergraduates can therefore sometimes be a challenge....
