This new edition of Electricity and Magnetism retains all the features that have made it so attractive to students and lecturers over the years. The aim remains the same: to lead the student who has only a sketchy knowledge of the subject relatively slowly through the earlier stages, with a careful development of new concepts as they appear, and to provide a treatment that does not depend on great sophistication in the handling of mathematics. The pace then quickens in line with the student's increasing mastery of the subject, and the overall text achieves a standard appropriate for the first two years of an honours degree in physics, and for the final year of combined honours degree and for those majoring in physics. It is also suitable for the early stages of electrical and electronic engineering courses. The innovative features of earlier editions have been retained. These include the emphasis on the experimental bases, the careful formulation of general laws with discussion of their limitations, the end of chapter commentaries dealing with tricky points and recent developments, and the revision summaries for those facing tests and examinations. By providing continual guidance through what is traditionally a difficult subject, by constantly stimulating interest, and by encouraging further study and reading with up-to-date references, the author has maintained the student-oriented approach of previous editions and has reinforces it here with many new features.

The Solid State: From Superconductors to Superalloys (International Union of Crystallography Texts on Crystallography)

With his previous book, "The Structure of Matter: From the Blue Sky to Liquid Crystals", Andre Guinier described various models for the atomic structure of matter. Here, the authors show how such models can be used to explain the macroscopic properties of solids. The aim of this text is to provide the non-specialist with an introduction to the solid state, and to examine the technological importance of recent advances in this field. A chapter on thermal properties is followed by a discussion of electrical properties, and the behaviour of electrons in metals, semi-conductors and superconductors. Magnetic properties are then considered, and the final chapters look at mechanical properties such as plasticity, dislocation and diffusion. For those who wish to study the subject in more depth, a detailed mathematical treatment is presented in boxed sections, which can be omitted on first reading.

Here is a clear, non-mathematical introduction to a rapidly developing area of physics. The volume provides scientists, students, teachers, and research workers with wide-ranging information on how models can be used to explain the macroscopic properties of solids. It includes full-chapter guidance on thermal properties, electrical properties, and the behavior of electrons in metals, semiconductors, and superconductors. Magnetic properties are given proper consideration, and mechanical properties such as plasticity, dislocation, and diffusion are covered. In addition, detailed mathematical treatments are presented in easy-to-use boxed sections for those who wish to study the subject in greater depth.

Molecular Biophysics: Structures in Motion

Offering a comprehensive introduction to the molecular physics of biological systems, this book seeks to explain how the laws and concepts of physics apply to the living world at the molecular and subecellular level, with an emphasis on electrical and dynamical behavior. It is organized into five parts: conformation of biopolymers; dynamics of biopolymers; hydration of biopolmers; biopolymers as polyelectrolytes; and association between molecules.

This new textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the molecular physics of biological systems: it seeks to explain how the laws and concepts of physics apply to the living world at the molecular and subcellular level, with an emphasis on electrical and dynamical behaviour. The book is organized into five parts: * conformation of biopolymers * dynamics of biopolymers * hydration of biopolymers * biopolymers as polyelectrolytes *association between molecules The author adopts a multi-disciplinary approach and limits mathematics only to what is strictly necessary for the development of the subject. The text should be suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds in biology, physics or chemistry taking advanced courses in molecular biophysics or biophysical chemistry.

A text in electricity and magnetism designed for undergraduates in their first and second year in physics and for the early stages of an electronic engineering course. It emphasizes the experimental basics, the development of concept and the formulation of laws applied to specific problems.
