Oxfam bookshop knutsford the physics of quantum mechanics aims to give students a good understanding of how quantum mechanics describes the material worldhydrogen and helium are discussed in some detail and it is shown that quantum mechanics enables us to understand the structure of the periodic table without engaging with the complexities of many-electron atomsname written on inside facing page see oxfam website for delivery information read morethe text stresses the continuity between the quantum world and the classical world, which is merely an approximation to the quantum worlddirac notation is used from the outset and students are trained to move easily from one representation to another, choosing whichever representation is best suited to a particular problemit shows that the theory follows naturally from the use of probability amplitudes to derive probabilitiesthe mathematical prerequisites are no more than simple vector algebra, taylor series expansion and the use of integrating factors to solve linear first order differential equationsa chapter is devoted to entanglement, quantum computation, density operators and their role in thermodynamics, and the measurement problemevery opportunity is taken to illustrate the emergence of the familiar classical, dynamical world through the quantum interference of stationary statesrigorous algebraic methods are preferred to the solution of partial differential equationsit stresses that stationary states are unphysical mathematical abstractions that enable us to solve the theory's governing equation, the time-dependent schroedinger equationthe connections between observables, operators and transformations are clearly explained and the standard commutation rules derived from the properties of spacetimescattering phenomena, including the origin of radioactivity, are handled early on in the accessible context of one dimension, and at the end of the book with some rigour in three dimensions

The heart of the book is the author's lucid description of how a world of stillness can appear to be teeming with motion: in this timeless world where all possible instants coexist, complex mathematical rules of quantum mechanics bind together a special selection of these instants in a coherent order that consciousness perceives as the flow of timeoxfam bookshop cheltenham time is an illusionsee oxfam website for delivery information read morebarbour believes that only the most radical of ideas can resolve the conflict between these two theories: that there is, quite literally, no time at allthis is the first full-length account of the crisis in our understanding that has enveloped quantum cosmologyin the end of time, the british theoretical physicist julian barbour describes the coming revolution in our understanding of the world: a quantum theory of the universe that brings together einstein's general theory of relativity, which denies the existence of a unique time, and quantum mechanics, which demands oneunifying thinking that has never been brought together before in a book for the general reader, barbour reveals the true architecture of the universe and demonstrates how physics is coming up sharp against the extraordinary possibility that the sense of time passing emerges from a universe that is timelessfinally, in a lucid and eloquent epilogue, the author speculates on the philosophical implications of his theory: does free will exist? is time travel possible? how did the universe begin? where is heaven? does the denial of time make life meaningless? written with exceptional clarity and elegance, this profound and original work presents a dazzlingly powerful argument that all will be able to follow, but no-one with an interest in the workings of the universe will be able to ignorealthough the laws of physics create a powerful impression that time is flowing, in fact there are only timeless 'nows'

The text offers a view of world music from 'within,' building on original, qualitative, interview-based research with people from the british world music scenerace and music seem fatally entwined in a way that involves both creative ethnic hybridity and ongoing problems of racismthis book presents a sociological analysis of this enduring relationship and asks: how are ideas of race critical to the understanding of music genres and preferences? what does the 'love of difference' via music contribute to contemporary perspectives of racism? previous studies of world music have situated it within the dynamics of local/global musical production, the representation of nations and ethnic groups, theories of globalization, hybridization and cultural appropriationthese interviews provide unique insights into the discursive repertoires that underpin contemporary culture, and will make a significant contribution to the mainly theoretical debates about world musichaynes adds a conceptual and textual shift to these debates by utilizing world music as a lens for examining cultural imaginaries of race and analytical nuances of racializationsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop hove minor shelf wear to hardcover, contents in very good, clean condition throughout
