Book Description
Have you ever seen a magician make something disappear and question if anything could really just vanish? Do you know why the periodic table is set up the way it is? From Lavoisier and Joule to Dalton and Mendeleyev, take a look at the basic principles of matter and thermodynamics in a fun and exciting way.

Book Description
By focusing on the conceptual issues faced by nineteenth century physicists, this book clarifies the status of field theory, the ether, and thermodynamics in the work of the period. A remarkably synthetic account of a difficult and fragmentary period in scientific development.

Book Description
'Clear and compact ... It's hard to fault as a brief, easily digestible introduction to some of the biggest questions in the Universe' Giles Sparrow, BBC Four's The Sky at Night , Best astronomy and space books of 2019: 5/5 All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5 per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced. Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That 'something' is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets. By the 1990s we also knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, named dark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster. Across the universe, this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly fourteen times greater than all the visible material in existence. Brian Clegg explains this major conundrum in modern science and looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.

Book Description
This is a story of space, time, matter, energy and energy conversion. Written by Joseph Y. Hui, aka Solar Man, this book survey the nature of energy, its expansion in spacetime since the Big Bang, its condensation as matter, and its exertion as different kinds of forces, and its manifestation as different kinds of energies. The bulk of the book is about energy conversion and its impact on the environment. There are five major sources of energy conversion into each other: motion, electromagnetic,light, chemical and heat. We introduce each topic on 2 page layout of scientists. They may have discovered and explained the physical phenomenon. They may have created the invention of energy collection, storage, conversion and use. Many of the inventions are due to Solar Man in his quest to solve the three E problems: Energy, Environment, and Education. His inventions involve water, energy, food, information, and transportation with acronym we-fit. The book is also written as a prototype for Solar Wonderland, a science amusement park for educating on the 3E's. Solar Man's motto is "Live a comfortable but sustainable life". Solar Man also plan to commercialize his inventions by Monarch Power, his R&D company.

Book Description
With its many beautiful colour pictures, this book gives fascinating insights into the unusual forms and behaviour of matter under extremely high pressures and temperatures. These extreme states are generated, among other things, by strong shock, detonation and electric explosion waves, dense laser beams, electron and ion beams, hypersonic entry of spacecraft into dense atmospheres of planets and in many other situations characterized by extremely high pressures and temperatures. Written by one of the world's foremost experts on the topic, this book will inform and fascinate all scientists dealing with materials properties and physics and also serve as an excellent introduction to plasma-, shock-wave and high-energy-density physics for students and newcomers seeking an overview. This second edition is thoroughly revised and expanded, in particular with new material on high energy-density physics, nuclear explosions and other nuclear transformation processes.
