Thermodynamics / by Lewis, Gilbert Newton,1875-1946,author.(CARDINAL)762247; Randall, Merle,1888-1950,author.; Pitzer, Kenneth S.(Kenneth Sanborn),1914-1997,editor,revisor.; Brewer, Leo,1919-2005,editor,revisor.;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes."Since its first publication in 1923, this volume has been considered one of the great books in the literature of chemistry. In the early '60s, well-known chemists Kenneth S. Pitzer and Leo Brewer revised and updated it, adding substantial material on solution thermodynamics, results in statistical mechanics, surfaces, gravitational and electromagnetic fields, and other areas. Upon the second edition's 1961 publication, The Journal of Chemical Education noted: "The book will undoubtedly resume its place as a constant guide and reference for chemists using thermodynamics in their research, and as a textbook and reference for classes in the application of thermodynamics to chemistry." This new edition of a foundational work will be welcomed by teachers in the field. For advanced undergraduates in chemistry and related fields"--

Includes bibliographical references (pages 435-440) and index.Foundation. Something from nothing ; Finite hyperspace ; Finite dimensionality ; Ultrastasis -- Physics of energy. Quantum neorealism ; Absolute space ; Energy's geometry ; Unit hypervolume -- Physics of matter. Matter's quantization ; Field-core superposition ; Particle field force ; Core interaction ; Gravitation -- Cosmology. Physical null cosmology ; Cosmic luminous path ; Cosmic proton path -- Appendixes. Predictions ; Universal and physical constants ; Universal parameters and astrophysical constants ; Universal variability ; The generalized particle field and core dynamics ; The superluminal criterion ; Particle field reference ; Deep space photons : annihilation and fusion ; White dwarf history ; Annihilation cycle ; Energy loss in a redshifted blackbody spectrum ; Surface brightness loss in images of distant objects ; Neutrinos and dark matter ; Galactic core : power losses and thermal currents ; Material flux and vortical flow ; Quasi-stellar objects."At long last, a theory has emerged that addresses the foundation of reality logically, rationally, empirically, and completely--Null Physics. The universe it reveals doesn't rely on unknowable precursors in the ancient, untestable past. The universe it reveals won't collapse or grow old and die. Null Physics tells us why the universe exists, how the universe exists, and why it is the way it is"--Cover, p. 2.

Beyond Earth : our path to a new home in the planets / by Wohlforth, Charles,1963-author.(CARDINAL)433362; Hendrix, Amanda R.,author.(CARDINAL)413647;
"From a leading planetary scientist and an award-winning science writer, a propulsive account of the developments and initiatives that have transformed the dream of space colonization into something that may well be achievable. We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs--Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos--are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead, it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel--realities that have hampered NASA'S efforts ever since the Challenger disaster. In Beyond Earth, Charles Wohlforth and Amanda R. Hendrix offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars, but Titan--a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy, where we will even be able to fly like birds in the minimal gravitational field--offers the most realistic and thrilling prospect of life without support from Earth."--Dust jacket.Presents a chronicle of the developments and initiatives that have transformed the idea of space colonization into an achievable goal, sharing arguments in favor of targeting Saturn's moon, Titan.

Dadland / by Carew, Keggie,author.(CARDINAL)340222;
"Keggie Carew grew up in the gravitational field of an unorthodox father who lived on his wits and dazzling charm. For most of her adult life, Keggie was kept at arm's length from her father's personal history, but when she is invited to join him for the sixtieth anniversary of the Jedburghs--an elite special operations unit that was the first collaboration between the American and British intelligence agencies during World War II--a new door opens in their relationship. As dementia stakes a claim over his memory, Keggie embarks on a quest to unravel her father's story, and soon finds herself in a far more consuming place than she had bargained for. Tom Carew was a maverick, a left-handed stutterer, a law unto himself. As a Jedburgh he was parachuted behind enemy lines to raise guerrilla resistance first against the Germans in France, then against the Japanese in Southeast Asia, where he won the moniker "Lawrence of Burma." But his wartime exploits are only the beginning. Part family memoir, part energetic military history, Dadland takes us on a spellbinding journey, in peace and war, into surprising corners of twentieth-century politics, her rackety English childhood, the poignant breakdown of her family, the corridors of dementia and beyond. As Keggie pieces her father--and herself--back together again, she celebrates the technicolor life of an impossible, irresistible, unstoppable man"--
