Sinopse

Treatise on Light: In Which Are Explained the Causes of That Which Occurs in Reflection & Refraction is a book by Christiaan Huygens, published in 1690. The book describes Huygens's theory of light propagation, which he believed to be a series of shock waves that travel through the ether. The book is considered a pioneering work of theoretical and mathematical physics. This book has an active table of contents:

Theoretical Foundations -...

Mark Hedges

Delve into the fundamental principles that govern our universe with this comprehensive three-part volume exploring the bedrock theories of physics. From the elegant mathematics of motion to the mind-bending concepts of quantum mechanics, this meticulously crafted work provides both students and enthusiasts with a deep understanding of the laws that shape our physical reality.
Classical Mechanics unveils the mathematical framework that describes the motion of objects from subatomic particles to celestial bodies. Journey through Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation to the sophisticated formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. Discover how these principles not only explain everyday phenomena but also laid the groundwork for all subsequent physical theories.
Classical Electrodynamics illuminates the profound connection between electricity and magnetism unified by Maxwell's equations. Explore the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, and the principles that enable modern technologies from power generation to telecommunications. Understand how these theories revolutionized our conception of physical reality and led to Einstein's special theory of relativity.
Concepts of Modern Physics bridges the gap between classical theories and the revolutionary ideas of 20th-century physics. Examine the quantum mechanical picture of the subatomic world, where particles exhibit wave-like properties and certainty gives way to probability. Explore special and general relativity, where time and space become relative concepts, and matter and energy reveal themselves as two aspects of the same fundamental reality.
This accessible yet rigorous volume features clear explanations, illustrative examples, and challenging problems that develop both intuitive understanding and mathematical facility.

Saints of Feather and Fang - How...

Caryn Rivadeneira

From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
 
 
 
In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
 
 
 
Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.
