  Waters of the United States -...

  In 2023, the Supreme Court made one of its most devastating rulings in environmental history. By narrowing the legal definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS), the court opened the floodgates to unregulated pollution. But while tremendously consequential, the decision was also simply the latest in a long series of battles over WOTUS, and which rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and perhaps even farm fields were to be protected by the Clean Water Act of 1972. 
   
   
    
  Waters of the United States is an unprecedented exploration of this history—and its importance for today's efforts to conserve a critical natural resource. The book not only examines how bodies of water are legally defined (and therefore protected), but who gets to decide on these definitions. The result is a fascinating look at the ongoing power struggle between the president and federal agencies, the courts, the states, and Congress, over water quality. 
   
   
    
  Waters of the United States offers the detailed analysis necessary for any lawyer or environmental advocate to understand the nuances of water policy, while spinning a compelling narrative for listeners who have never cracked a law book. The unique mix of insights into environmental law, history, and politics is required for anyone who cares about the future of the nations water.

  Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space—could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try. 
   
   
   
  In this new mathematical origin story, mathematician and novelist Manil Suri creates a natural progression of ideas needed to design our world, starting with numbers and continuing through geometry, algebra, and beyond. He reveals the secret lives of real and imaginary numbers, teaches them to play abstract games with real-world applications, discovers unexpected patterns that connect humble lifeforms to enormous galaxies, and explores mathematical underpinnings for randomness and beauty. With evocative examples ranging from multidimensional crochet to the Mona Lisa's asymmetrical smile, as well as ingenious storytelling that helps illuminate complex concepts like infinity and relativity, The Big Bang of Numbers charts a playful, inventive course to existence. Mathematics, Suri shows, might best be understood not as something we invent to explain Nature, but as the source of all creation, whose directives Nature tries to obey as best she can.

  Classical Electrodynamics -...

  Electromagnetic theory is one of the fundamental pillars of physics, providing the framework for understanding electric and magnetic fields and their interactions. It is essential not only for classical physics but also for modern advancements in engineering, communications, and quantum mechanics. This chapter introduces the historical development of electrodynamics and the significance of Maxwell’s equations, which form the foundation of classical electromagnetism. 
  The origins of electromagnetic theory can be traced back to early observations of static electricity and magnetism. The ancient Greeks, particularly Thales of Miletus, noted that rubbing amber could attract small objects, laying the groundwork for electrostatics. By the 17th century, William Gilbert’s studies on magnetism and Benjamin Franklin’s experiments on electricity further developed the understanding of electric and magnetic phenomena. The 18th and 19th centuries saw rapid progress, with Charles-Augustin de Coulomb formulating the inverse-square law of electrostatics and André-Marie Ampère discovering the relationship between current and magnetic fields. Michael Faraday’s groundbreaking work on electromagnetic induction demonstrated that a changing magnetic field could induce an electric current, setting the stage for the unification of electricity and magnetism.

  Computational physics is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and computational techniques to solve complex physical problems. It bridges the gap between theoretical physics, which relies on mathematical models, and experimental physics, which depends on observations and measurements. As physical systems often involve equations that are difficult or impossible to solve analytically, computational methods provide an essential toolset for modern scientific inquiry. 
  One of the primary roles of computational physics is to simulate and model real-world phenomena that would otherwise be too expensive, time-consuming, or impossible to study experimentally. From simulating planetary motion to modeling quantum interactions at the atomic scale, computational methods enable scientists to explore new frontiers in physics. This approach has led to significant advancements in various fields, including condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics. 
  A fundamental aspect of computational physics is the reliance on numerical approximations. Many physical equations, such as differential equations governing motion or thermodynamic properties, do not have exact solutions. Instead, numerical techniques like finite difference methods, Monte Carlo simulations, and spectral methods are employed to approximate solutions with high accuracy. While these methods introduce some level of approximation error, advancements in computational power and algorithm efficiency have significantly improved the precision of such calculations.
