Sinopse

"How Lasers Work" explores the physics behind lasers, illuminating their transformative applications across technology and medicine. It begins by establishing a foundation in light and electromagnetic radiation, progressing to explain light absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission – the key to laser function. The book emphasizes the laser's unique properties, such as monochromaticity and coherence, which enable its precision applications, like cutting through steel and repairing retinas.

 
The book details the historical development of the laser, from Einstein's theoretical concepts to Theodore Maiman's first working laser in 1960. Different types of lasers, including gas, solid-state, and semiconductor lasers, are examined in terms of construction, principles, and specific uses. A significant portion is dedicated to laser applications in medicine, communication, and industry, providing real-world examples of their impact.

 
The book uses experimental data and schematics, and connects laser physics to materials science, computer science, and environmental science. It provides a balanced treatment of theory and practice, making it valuable for both academic study and practical reference.

A Book of Noises - Notes on...

Caspar Henderson

Sound shapes our world in invisible but profound ways, and here Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating journey through the heard universe. 
A Book of Noises gathers together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human world, and the invented world, and contains quiet pockets of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a celebration of all things auricular.

The Microscopic World Inside and...

Martin K. Ettington

We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways. 
 In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller. 
 We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too. 
 For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago? 
 And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today? 
 Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles? 
 There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect. 
 The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.
