The Collected Papers of Peter J. W. Debye

Peter Debye has left his mark on the science of physical chemistry like no other scientist since J. Willard Gibbs. The fifty-one papers in this volume are presented in the original English for his later writings, and in translation from the German for his earlier work. Among the areas pioneered by Debye and covered in this collection are X-Ray Scattering, Dipole Moments, Electrolyte Theory, and Light Scattering. Debye was awarded the 1936 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

700 + xxi pages, 8 1/2 x 11. Reprint of first edition published in 1954.

Foundations of Bioenergetics

Harold J. Morowitz

This book presents those aspects of thermal physics necessary for understanding bioenergetics. Material is carefully introduced as: definitions, empirical generalizations, postulates, and logical inferences from the preceding three categories. Included are classical thermodynamics, information theory, statistical mechanics, ecological energetics, and irreversible thermodynamics. A complete background is provided for the biologist or biochemist desiring an in-depth understanding of the physical foundations of the subject.

CONTENTS: Energy Temperature The Measurability of Energy The Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy Information Statistical Mechanics Connecting Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics Information Theory Considerations Free-Energy Functions Radiant Energy The Free Energy of Cells and Tissue Kinetics and Cycles Ecological Energetics Applications of the Gibbs Free Energy Thermal Energy Thermal Measurements Information-Entropy Formalism in Biology Irreversible Thermodynamics Fluctuations Applications of Irreverible Theory Osmotic Flow

179 + ix pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Published in 1978 by Academic Press.

A Treatise on Analytical Dynamics

L. A. Pars

This book is a very thorough treatment of classical mechanics from an advanced viewpoint.

CONTENTS: Motion of a particle Dynamical Systems The first form of the fundamental equation The second and third forms of the fundamental equation Lagrangian coordinates Lagrange's equations The theory of rotations First applications of Lagrange's equations The theory of vibrations Further applications of Lagrange's equations Variable mass The Gibbs-Appell equations Applications of the Gibbs-Appell equations Impulsive motion The sixth form of the fundamental equation The Hamilton-Jacoby theorem Separable systems with n degrees of freedom Systems with one degree of freedom, motion near a singular point Systems with one degree of freedom, the cyclic characteristics Systems with n degrees of freedom, properties of the characteristics Hamilton's equations Motion in the neighborhood of a given motion, stability in motion Contact transformations Transformation theory Variation principles The principle of Least Action The restricted problem of three bodies The problem of three bodies Periodic orbits.

Atoms

Jean Perrin

In the first years of the 20th century the theory of Brownian motion and experiments on electronic charge, radioactivity, and black-body radiation made the atomic nature of matter an increasingly persuasive hypothesis. Jean Perrin's experiments on Brownian motion and particle diffusion provided a confirmation of Einstein's theory, which depended on the molecular-kinetic view of matter. Perrin gathered the available information into his 1913 book Les Atomes. This masterpiece eliminated all objection to atomicity. Its message reverberates to the core of modern chemistry, physics, and biology. This work brings together sixteen different ways of determining Avogadro's number. There is no comparable book in science. Perrin received the 1926 Nobel prize in physics.

CONTENTS: Chemistry and the Atomic Theory Molecular Agitation The Brownian Movement-Emulsions The Laws of the Brownian Movement Fluctuations Light and Quanta The Atom of Electricity The Genesis and Destruction of Atoms

Foundations of Physics

R. Bruce Lindsay
Henry Margenau

Thousands of students of physics have found "Lindsay and Margenau" an indispensable work in understanding their subject. How can a classic work retain its freshness in such a fast moving field? The answer lies in the word "Foundations" in the title. In a unique and lasting way these two authors have probed the postulates of physics, the mathematical techniques employed, and the methods of relating theory to experiment.

CONTENTS: The Meaning of a Physical Theory Space and Time in Physics The Foundation of Mechanics Probability and Some of its Applications The Statistical Point of View The Physics of Continua The Electron Theory and Special Relativity The General Theory of Relativity Quantum Mechanics The Problem of Causality

542 + xvi pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Reprint of first edition published in 1936.
