The Cavendish Laboratory is arguably the most famous physics laboratory in the world.

Founded in 1874, it rapidly gained a leading international reputation through the researches of the Cavendish professors beginning with Maxwell, Rayleigh, J.J. Thomson, Rutherford and Bragg. Its name will always be associated with the discoveries of the electron, the neutron, the structure of the DNA molecule and pulsars, but these are simply the tip of the iceberg of outstanding science. The physics carried out in the laboratory is the central theme of the book and this is explained in reasonably non-technical terms. The research activities are set in their international context. Generously illustrated, with many pictures of the apparatus used and diagrams from the original papers, the story is brought right up to date with descriptions of the science carried out under the leadership of the very different personalities of Mott, Pippard and Edwards.

M A X W E L L’ S ENDURING LEGACY

‘This is the story of how the world’s leading physics laboratory reinvented itself on several occasions – from the discovery of the fundamental particles of nature, to the structure of materials, to the invention of modern biology and the discovery of the universe in all its glory and incredible scale.

The author himself led the most recent incarnation of the Cavendish, and he has a deft touch for putting the humanity behind the science.’

‘Probably no living person knows more about the Cavendish Laboratory than Malcolm Longair – world-renowned astrophysicist and former head of the Laboratory. This is a definitive and authoritative insider account of the ground-breaking science that has emerged from one of the world’s greatest laboratories over its 142 year history. Longair’s encyclopaedic knowledge, based on nearly forty years at the Cavendish, including eight years as Head of Department, is transferred elegantly onto the written page, alongside a generous selection of images and illustrations of the scientists, their apparatus and the results of their research.’

Over the last 40 years, scientists have uncovered evidence that if the Universe had been forged with even slightly different properties, life as we know it - and life as we can imagine it - would be impossible.

20

Join us on a journey through how we understand the Universe, from its most basic particles and forces, to planets, stars and galaxies, and back through cosmic history to the birth of the cosmos. Conflicting notions about our place in the Universe are defined, defended and critiqued from scientific, philosophical and religious viewpoints. The authors’ engaging and witty style addresses what finetuning might mean for the future of physics and the search for the ultimate laws of nature.

Tackling difficult questions and providing thought-provoking answers, this volumes challenges us to consider our place in the cosmos, regardless of our initial convictions.

Interacting Electrons Theory and Computational

Approaches

Electronic structure calculations are a standard tool in condensed matter physics, chemistry and materials science. Independent-particle methods are successful for some purposes. However, many-body methods are required to understand the fascinating phenomena that result from interactions.

Although many-body techniques are often seen as the province of specialists, realistic calculations are now becoming essential tools for research. Our motivation to write Interacting Electrons is to make these approaches accessible, by providing a unified exposition of the most widely-used methods, with theoretical background, computational approaches, practical guidelines and instructive applications. We want to bring life to the mathematics underlying the methods by introducing each topic with an overview with physical reasoning, followed by in-depth derivations and descriptions. No other book – or any other source – brings together the different methods, making connections between them with their advantages and disadvantages, and illustrating examples appropriate for each method.

Modern Techniques of Surface Science Third edition D. Phil Woodruff University of Warwick

With this fully revised third edition, readers will understand the physical principles, strengths and limitations of the techniques used in surface science and nanoscience today. It brings together the different techniques used to determine the surface composition, surface structure, surface electronic structure, surface microstructure and nanostructure, and surface adsorption.

‘For more than three decades, the first two editions of D. Phil Woodruff’s text have been a key reference for surface scientists: simple, comprehensive, authoritative, extremely helpful as a first step for graduate students and junior researchers. The fast evolution of the field required a general update, and this was done in a masterful way.

But this new edition goes well beyond: the strategy of the presentation has changed radically to reflect the present situation of the field, becoming a ‘user-oriented’ instrument.

As such, it is even more useful than the past editions, and therefore highly recommended.’

Atomic physics, molecular physics and chemical physics TEXTBOOK

Atoms and Molecules Interacting with Light Atomic Physics for the Laser Era Peter van der Straten Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands

and Harold Metcalf State University of New York, Stony Brook

Focusing on atom-light interactions and containing numerous exercises, this in-depth textbook prepares students for research in a fast-growing field.

‘Two experienced pedagogues and researchers on laser cooling and trapping and quantum hydrodynamics have written a rigorous textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. The work provides a comprehensive description of the fundamentals and of the awe-inspiring recent advances in atomic and molecular physics, such as the theory and the experimental

techniques of Bose–Einstein condensation, laser cooling, and optical lattices. The authors point out common misconceptions in atomic physics, e.g. about ‘virtual states’, resonances, and the vector potential. Each chapter is augmented with supplementary materials and exercises which assess comprehension and further the understanding of the content. … Detailed tables and plots of experimental data permit the numerical calculation of physical parameters. The exact quantum mechanical solutions to a few physical problems are derived as well as the various useful approximations for atoms and molecules, and their limitations are clearly explained.’

Deconstructing Cosmology Robert H. Sanders Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, The Netherlands

Sanders traces the development of the standard cosmological model and argues that any notions that we now understand the Universe may be premature. Dark energy and dark matter, the model’s two major components, remain enigmatic. He discusses how modified Newtonian dynamics is a significant challenge for cold dark matter.

Maxwell’s Enduring Legacy A Scientific History of the Cavendish Laboratory Malcolm Longair University of Cambridge

This unique book is an authoritative history of the scientific achievements of the Cavendish Laboratory from its origins in the late-nineteenth century to the present day. It includes detailed discussions of the broad range of physics studied and the discoveries of the twenty-nine Nobel Prize winners that worked there.

‘In what is patently a labour of love, the astronomer Malcolm Longair now gives us a comprehensive scientific history of the Cavendish in Maxwell’s Enduring Legacy. Longair, who was the lab’s head from 1997 to 2005, describes its inception well … Longair’s history is in the form of a well-organized modern physics book, most of its twenty-two sections replete with charts, tables and lucid technical explanations presented neatly in boxes. Abundant diagrams, photographs, line drawings, floor-plans and facsimiles of historical documents give fascinating insights into the lab’s development.’

Why Quark Rhymes with Pork And Other Scientific Diversions N. David Mermin Cornell University, New York

A collection of offbeat, entertaining and primarily nontechnical essays on physics and those who practice it, from eminent theoretical physicist N. David Mermin. Bringing together for the first time all thirty of his columns published in Physics Today’s Reference Frame series from 1988 to 2009, with updating commentary, this humorous and unusual volume includes thirteen other essays, many of them previously unpublished.

Mermin’s lively and penetrating writing illuminates a broad range of topics, from the implications of bad spelling in a major science journal, to the crises of science libraries and scientific periodicals, the folly of scientific prizes and honors, the agony of getting funding, and how to pronounce ‘quark’.

His witty observations and insightful anecdotes gleaned from a lifetime in science will entertain physicists at all levels, as well as anyone else interested in science or scientists at the turn of the twenty-first century.

‘This delightful collection of essays should be on the bookshelf of anyone who cares about the human side of physics; it kept me amply entertained for the whole of a transatlantic air trip. I particularly like Mermin’s discussion of the ‘science wars’, where his analysis is orders of magnitude more sophisticated than those of most of the combatants on either side.’

Scientists Making a Difference is a volume of first-person narratives from the top psychological scientists of modern times, written for students in undergraduate courses and graduate seminars. The book will also appeal to professional psychologists, scientists and

Also of interest scholars interested in the views of the leading figures in their field.

David G. Myers, Professor of Psychology, Hope College

“Reading this book is like spending an afternoon chatting with some of psychology’s most prominent scholars. They talk about the significance of their work, describe how they honed their creative ideas, and offer advice for dealing with failures, adversity, and success.

The authors invite us inside their laboratories and provide a rare insight into the process of making a difference.”

Diane Halpern, Dean of Social Sciences, Emerita, Minerva Schools at KGI and Professor of Psychology, Emerita, Claremont McKenna College

“Asking a couple ‘How did you two meet?’ inevitably elicits an interesting story, and this is essentially what the editors of this volume have done by asking a group of eminent psychological scientists to talk about their love affairs with their work. The result is a set of brief but fascinating stories that not only inspire admiration of these brilliant authors but will surely lead some of today’s best students to dream of following in their footsteps.”

and Jonathan M. Rosenberg University of Maryland, College Park

Now in its third edition, this outstanding textbook explains everything you need to get started using MATLAB®.

Review of previous edition: ‘Major highlights of the book are completely transparent examples of classical yet always intriguing mathematical, statistical, engineering, economics, and physics problems.

In addition, the book explains a seamless use with Microsoft Word for integrating MATLAB® outputs with documents, reports, presentations, or other on-line processes. Advanced topics with examples include: Monte Carlo simulation, population dynamics, and linear programming. Overall, it is an outstanding textbook, and, likewise, should be an integral part of the technical reference shelf for most IT professionals. It is a great resource for wherever MATLAB® is available!’

TEXTBOOK

Statistics Explained An Introductory Guide for Life Scientists Second edition Steve McKillup Central Queensland University

This book provides straightforward conceptual explanations of statistical methods for the life sciences, specially designed for students lacking a strong mathematical background.

‘Every so often, a researcher or teacher comes across a book and exclaims ‘I wish I had had a book like this when I started!’ … Statistics Explained is such a book. Steve McKillup writes with empathy for students’ anxiety about statistics. He replaces complex-looking formulae with graphics and realistic examples.

He is a biologist writing for fellowbiologists … [The book] explains why the statistical test is needed before describing the test. Essential features of good survey and experimental design are clearly outlined … This is not ‘just another biostatistics textbook’. Its sheer readability will restore confidence to the most anxious student while experienced researchers will savour the clarity of the explanations of the common univariate and multivariate analyses … an ideal core text for anyone teaching or studying biostatistics …’

Andrew Boulton, University of New England, Australia
