"In this book, the authors teach the art of physical applied mathematics at the advanced undergraduate level. In contrast to traditional mathematics books, formal derivations and theorems are replaced by worked examples with intuitive solutions and approximations, given some familiarity with physics and chemistry. In this way, the book covers an ambitious range of topics, such as vector calculus, differential and integral equations, linear algebra, probability and statistics, functions of complex variables, scaling and dimensional analysis..."

"Elizabeth worked her entire life which was unusual for a mother at that time. She died when she was only 50 of an aneurism. Elizabeth disappeared from history: Why is analysed in Mary Harris's book, but it was all about being a woman scientist in an era when women were expected to stay at home."

"The book under review is an interesting elaboration that fills the gaps in libraries for concisely written and student-friendly books about essentials in computer science ... I recommend this book for anyone who would like to study algorithms, learn a lot about computer science or simply would like to deepen their knowledge ... The book is written in very simple English and can be understood even by those with limited knowledge of the English language. It should be emphasized that, despite the fact that the book consists of many examples, mathematical formulas and theorems, it is very hard to find any mistakes, errors or typos."

"The text is easy to read because the matter is clearly explained. Symmetries are a central component of physical laws, and the PT-symmetry proves to be very interesting and fruitful. The discussion of the matter is up-to-date and self-contained. The book is recommended to students of higher courses, PhD and researchers. It is also a basic read to those who wish to have an insight into this field."

"Gillet's book strikes a refreshing balance of the depth and rigor of exposition and the review of the prerequisites, all contextualized pleasantly within the history of quantum mechanics. From the basics and up to the generalized Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of quantum mechanics, the book is punctuated with extremely well-chosen examples. Theory is amplified with applications from fossil cosmic background radiation to the technology of laser printers and up to quantum cryptopgraphy. Conceptual understanding is at the center of Gillet's solved examples; a truly unique feature of this book. Gillet invites students and their instructor to 'think' and appreciate the beauty and the practical aspects of quantum mechanics. Well done!"

"The book is a useful contribution in the field of HPLC, and may represent a valuable tool for chromatography practitioners in different fields, as well as teachers and instructors. The 12 chapters provide comprehensive insights of current day retention and resolution modelling in HPLC, and its applications for small and large molecule analysis. It may be a useful reference for specialists in pharmaceuticals but not limited to ... It may be a valuable resource to assist scientists involved in method development, aiming to achieve the best results with reduced costs, time, and efforts."

"Several features make this book unusual. The first is the historical content ... Second, the practical importance of quantum physics is demonstrated by the inclusion of numerous summary discussions of technological applications ... A third unusual feature of this book is a detailed solution immediately following each in-text exercise. Each such problem is used to advance the discussion, and the question-and-answer format encourages the student to wrestle with the ideas personally rather than simply reading passively ... This short book would easily make a helpful secondary text allowing an instructor to touch on some non-traditional topics such as least action principles and path integrals."

"Leo Paul Dana has produced a concise and introductory collection of facts from 21 economies. The book allows the reader to decide the level of interests for details, it offers many details as well as the sources for independent research and deepening of the concepts. I strongly recommend this book as useful research and teaching tool, not only in entrepreneurship, but for business and management studies at large."

"Given the reforms in mathematics education, the issue of how teachers develop their knowledge has become a big challenge for practitioners as well as for researchers. While many people believe that teachers teach as they were taught, Prof Fan shows that the phenomenon is much more complex. This book is an important source for students, teachers, teacher educators, school administrators, and policy-makers."

"The text is easy to read because the matter is clearly explained. Symmetries are a central component of physical laws, and the PT-symmetry proves to be very interesting and fruitful. The discussion of the matter is up-to-date and self-contained. The book is recommended to students of higher courses, PhD and researchers. It is also a basic read to those who wish to have an insight into this field."

"Full of classic exam-style SBAs: all you need to get through your exams."

"The first two editions of this textbook have received well-deserved high acclaims, and this — the third edition — deserves no less. Its explanations of the whole gamut of atomic and molecular spectroscopy provide a solid grasp of the theory as well as how to understand such spectra in practice. It thus makes an ideal companion to books that start from the observational aspect of spectroscopy, whether in the lab or at the telescope ... This new edition of Tennyson¡¯s book ought to be in the library of every astronomical department."

"... Gives the physical results and does not bury the reader with tensors or differential geometry. Has solutions to ALL exercises, which I found to be an extremely helpful learning tool."

"The text is lightly written but, underneath the entertaining gloss of anecdote and personal detail, this is actually an intensely serious and carefully constructed book, aimed at informing the educated public about science in general and nanotechnology in particular. It is attractively produced, with innumerable well-captioned coloured images... To my mind, Colm Durkan has succeeded in combining the accessible style of the best science journalists with the authority and vision that come from being a successful scientist and an expert in his field."

"This is an essential book for anyone aiming to start a career in solar power or just seeking a deeper understanding. It's also an entertaining read, salted with personal anecdotes and, in places, wry humour. Jenny Chase gives a lively account of how she rose through a precarious startup to become the head of solar analysis at Bloomberg. There is helpful career advice. At its core the book contains detailed analysis of the history, technology, economics, finance, and business practices of the photovoltaics industry and her views on its prospects. The style is relaxed and discursive, and the reader feels privileged to be enjoying a coffee and a friendly chat with someone who is uniquely well informed about this industry so vital for our future."

"This book provides the first effective collation of all the diverse atropisomeric systems that can be used as ligands, or directly as catalysts, across a full range of important reactions ... The literature is well-covered through 2017 and early 2018."

"I believe that the instrumentation and equipment summary information was comprehensive and thorough; without becoming bogged down in technical specification and theoretical detail. I particularly liked the summary format which the author applied to each of the referenced pristine and blended polymer types. Presenting an overview summary of polymer structure, characteristics, synthesis routes and application in addition to the pyrolytic fragmentation pattern information should be extremely useful to anyone working in the field of analytical characterization of polymeric materials."

"Several features make this book unusual. The first is the historical content ... Second, the practical importance of quantum physics is demonstrated by the inclusion of numerous summary discussions of technological applications ... A third unusual feature of this book is a detailed solution immediately following each in-text exercise. Each such problem is used to advance the discussion, and the question-and-answer format encourages the student to wrestle with the ideas personally rather than simply reading passively ... This short book would easily make a helpful secondary text allowing an instructor to touch on some non-traditional topics such as least action principles and path integrals."

"A satisfying and highly accessible exposition of major topics in contemporary astrophysics. In the last decades a plethora of new discoveries have revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Amir Levinson succeeds in articulating the new picture of the cosmos that has emerged from observations across the entire electromagnetic spectrum and beyond. Rigorously argued with clear excursions into the underlying physics, well illustrated, and lusciously entertaining, this new book will be profitably read by students and professionals looking for a unifying view of the most extreme aspects of the universe."

"There's much to recommend in this text. Nigel's collection of quotations taken from interviews he conducted provide valuable insights, many unavailable in print in any other place. Also, Nigel has assembled nice examples in chapters 7 and 8, some are familiar, some are less well-known, some will surprise readers. His overall picture is a useful addition to the literature about one of the most creative scientists of the 20th century. I look forward to seeing it in print."

"Coming from a CT practitioner who is also a scholar, Tom Parker's volume carries an authority that few other works in the field of (counter-) terrorism studies possess. Its length should not deter readers for the book is well written, with fascinating historical and contemporary details spicing his account."

"This book is intended for students, physicists or engineers, from the second or third year of their bachelor's degree. It differs from most of its competitors by the uncompromising rigour of mathematical processing, oriented more towards understanding and applications, rather than on the development of the theory itself. Thus, the more technical demonstrations are omitted or even dismissed in problems."

"Dennis Buchanan's text clearly shows how an understanding of the complementary disciplines of geoscience, conventional engineering and advanced financial engineering is essential to making the right decisions concerning how to appraise a resource or project and how to structure the funding of natural resources assets in order to mitigate technical and financial risk and to maximise value for owners. Crucially, the book also looks at how other sources of capital, such as limited recourse lenders, appraise metals and energy assets. Such an understanding is essential to optimising the capital structure and valuation of natural resources assets..."

"America's involvement in counterterrorism did not start with 9/11, and its earlier history is rich in lessons for how to deal with the issue of terrorism today. Dennis Pluchinsky's long attention to the topic makes him well qualified to guide us through that long and often painful story."

"This book explains with astonishing clarity the science, technology and politics behind the greatest quest of our time — fusion energy. It is a delight to read."

"The monograph is a very broad and useful collection of information and can be recommended both to the beginner in optical spectroscopy and the advanced specialised user."

"I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in the multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to blockchain economics. These international scholars and practitioners have adopted new approaches to analyze blockchain based on economic principles spanning across the biological, chemical and physical fundamentals. Ideas associated with natural sciences were deplored to look at implications of distributed ledgers, breaking away from traditional views, and giving the readers a fresh perspective to many previously unresolved issues."

"I greatly enjoyed Ruth Kastner's book ... a good, readable exposition of a model which not only removes the mystery from quantum mechanics but offers an explanation of the underlying way quantum effects produce the structure of spacetime and give us the impression of an arrow of time, while allowing us genuine free will. As the author puts it, Spacetime is the smile on the Cheshire Cat; the Cat is quantum physics."

"Gillet's book strikes a refreshing balance of the depth and rigor of exposition and the review of the prerequisites, all contextualized pleasantly within the history of quantum mechanics. From the basics and up to the generalized Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of quantum mechanics, the book is punctuated with extremely well-chosen examples.

Conceptual understanding is at the center of Gillet's solved examples; a truly unique feature of this book. Gillet invites students and their instructor to 'think' and appreciate the beauty and the practical aspects of quantum mechanics. Well done!"

"The book is mainly addressed to the non-expert reader, in that it assumes only a little background in complex analysis and algebraic geometry, but no previous knowledge in transcendental number theory is required. The technical language is introduced smoothly, and illustrative examples are provided where appropriate ... The book is carefully written, and the relevant literature is provided in the list of references."

"The author does a nice job in explaining complex theory and experiments, clearly explaining each theory or method, emphasizing an understanding of the fundamental principle and how it applies to astrophysics. This book is very accessible to many readers but is primarily focused on graduate or advanced undergraduate students in chemistry or astrochemistry or for someone interested in learning more about astrochemistry in general and theories on how the Earth was formed."

"The book is well written and provides not only a description of Milne's life but also of academic life in general during the first half of the 20th Century ... I highly recommend the book (which contains more than enough references, to both primary and secondary sources, for those wanting to learn more about Milne's work and its influence), because it does everything else very well. I recommend the book to anyone interested in astronomy, academia, or their history, it was a very enjoyable read."

"Variolation, the deliberate inoculation of someone at risk of smallpox, was probably the first medically invasive preventive measure in the annals of public health. It was also the first such measure to be adopted worldwide. Its history is therefore more than a mere prelude to the better known technique of vaccination. It deserves full-scale study in its own right as a major phase in the history of immunization. In this wide-ranging and detailed monograph, Dr Alicia Grant brings new evidence to bear and traces the changing techniques of variolation in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as they were diffused across Eurasia and North America. Her book is the only thorough modern study known to me. It places the subject on a new footing and deserves a wide readership."

"This text serves as an educational tool merging good marketing practices with the promotion of STEM subjects and research. The book is applicable to global environments. A useful resource for aspiring and practicing researchers."

"The book is certainly well written and beneficial to a reader or a student approaching the field of lubrication from the very beginning."

"Percolation Theory in Reservoir Engineering is a useful text for scientists and engineers working in academia, the oil industry and related fields. It is particularly valuable as a resource for reservoir geoscientists, enabling, through simple analytical expressions, the link between a geological model and expected recovery to be made. It is also suitable as a text for industry short-courses or graduate classes in petroleum geoscience and engineering. The approach of the book is pedagogic, allowing complex concepts in statistical physics to be applied easy by practicing engineers and geoscientists. The work is amply illustrated by examples and applications and is an invaluable resource for anyone who wishes to understand oilfield recovery."

"This is an excellent, insightful, cost-effective, and pedagogically structured book, written by a master and his apprentice for a wide audience of industrialists and academics (students and professors) in a range of disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, physics, ecology, et hoc genus omne."

"The book accomplishes its goal of explaining how science is utilized in the art world in a way that is easily accessible and digestible for both those in the art world and those unaffiliated with the art world. Jehane Ragai's wealth of experience and knowledge on the subject matter is quite evident throughout the text and I highly recommend this text for anyone interested in learning more about how science operates in the art world."

"This book not only provides a fundamental technical background on black TiO₂ and the synthesis of this material, it also covers state-of-the-art applications and will provide the reader with current information on property behavior and show the direction of the latest research for this interesting material for energy applications."

"This is a highly valuable book for both researchers and practitioners of the field. It can also be used as the basis for a graduate course in petroleum engineering."

"The book has an ideal mix for the reflective practitioner who seeks solutions and wants to understand them and for academics who strive to understand the phenomen within the real world. The book is based on rigor research and has a lot of nicely written practical examples and illustrations. I like the courage of the authors to combine this practical handbook style with well-profound research notes ¡ª it adds huge value for managers, innovators and scholars as well. The book is a must for all innovators who want to learn from the user of their products."

"Over the past 20 years, I have seen entrepreneurs struggle with every aspect of innovation from ideation through company start up to subsequent leadership of maturing companies. The Scale-up Manual brings together a wealth of knowledge from different models that supports the entire commercialisation journey. The authors develop the tools and models described in Camels, Tigers & Unicorns and, through their case-study based approach, provide a pathway to convert theory into practice. The Scale-up Manual arrives at a time when governments across the globe are looking to innovation to fuel future economic growth. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, leading an established enterprise or responsible for innovation policy at the national or international level you will benefit from reading this book."

"Probably its most significant distinguishing feature is that this book is more algebraically oriented than most undergraduate number theory texts."

"This book provides an excellent review and analysis of the latest information on rechargeable Li-S battery research. With a clear and concise writing style and in-depth technical material , this book will appeal to undergraduates and graduates, researchers, chemists, material scientists, and physicists working in the field of energy storage, especially those with an interest in Li-S battery technology."

"If you are interested in learning about glassblowing techniques for scientific glassware, then this book is an incredible opportunity to learn from a master glassblower. Much of this information is passed down in person, and to have it available in a book such as this is a very rare opportunity that you should not pass up."

"This book takes us through these challenges using the latest research and helps us understand what innovation really means and why it is so complex. The book answers critical questions about the healthcare system, how to develop and commercialise health technologies, and how to implement and sustain innovation in healthcare organisations. For students participating in postgraduate courses on healthcare, or simply for those interested, the case studies provide the perfect opportunity to apply theories explained in the book and give valuable insight into effectively managing the innovation processes in healthcare."

"Every chapter is written by different authors and focuses on a specific issue, all of which are explained very clearly and in detail. As a result, the structure of the book makes it extremely handy when checking or looking up the particular information one is interested in. The book is especially useful for teaching and/or further learning since there is an extensive bibliography in each chapter. Putting all this information together is an absolutely remarkable accomplishment on the part of the editors since there are no other books that are as comprehensive in this branch of genetics. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I not only recommend it to forensic DNA experts in general but it is definitely a must-read for forensic DNA caseworkers as well."

"This is a book that explores both chemistry and chicanery, the pleasures and pitfalls of collecting, and perhaps most interestingly, the psychology of lying, self-deception, and discovery... Whatever the reader's involvement or perspective on recent events and controversies, the stories recounted here so artfully, along with the scientific techniques explained with such clarity and care, together make for a terrific read."

"The book is unusual among functional analysis books in devoting a lot of space to the derivative. The 'friendly' aspect promised in the title is not explained, but there are three things I think would strike most students as friendly: the slow pace, the enormous number of examples, and complete solutions to all the exercises."

"The text is well written and supported by clear and useful illustrations. This would be a useful textbook for postgraduate or advanced undergraduate studies and would also make a good introductory text for engineers moving into the field. The literature survey and bibliography provide a useful starting point for further study."

"The chapters are each interesting in their own way, the coverage of the field is superb, and so is the underlying expertise. This book will be very, very useful to the organic community as quantum and computational chemistry fulfil their promise of becoming true partners in exploring synthesis and mechanism in organic chemistry."

"It is well referenced, with significant projects from his personal experience. Factually accurate, the stories reflect the ups and downs of the major projects environment. His thoughts on handling the tragedy of the King's Cross fire are remarkable, and his compassionate treatment of this work is likely to prove of interest to those outside the project management and engineering fields ... What resonates throughout the book is the coming together of countries, organisations and people. The ability to formulate and structure delivery teams that take on the holistic project life cycle — from project initiation and business case, through design, construction and effective handover, to fully using or operating a facility — is comprehensively covered."

"The book is clearly organized. Only important facts are addressed; the sequence of the chapters is logical, the text is well-written and therefore, very readable. In addition, the meaning of geoscientific terms is clearly explained. Definitions are provided in a glossary which is easy to use. It is an excellent tool, which will be of value and benefit to the global petroleum community. I am pleased to recommend it."

"It opens avenues for exploration for everyone interested to know in depth about the topic, both in a national and in an international context. It therefore achieves its main aim, to provide lessons and guidance about crisis management, risk prevention and recovery. Both economists and senior policymakers worldwide will benefit greatly from this book."

"This book, by far, is one of the most useful and lucid sources for understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine. In my reading of Western sources on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I would have to rate this as an essential read. The author effectively bridges Eastern and Western medicine without either losing their essential identities and strengths. The author is extremely clear on the philosophies underlying the practice of TCM and how it relates to the biomedical science and suggests reasonable ways of testing TCM that go beyond simple conclusions drawn from random control designs and the pitfalls of scientism. Let me also be perfectly clear that this is not a 'cheer leading' book blindly accepting the wisdom of the sages past and is by no means a New Age reading: it's solid, balanced, insightful and respectful.

If I had one book to recommend for a first reading of those seeking to explore and understand TCM and its relationship to Western medicine, this would be the one. Frankly this is a brilliant book written by a brilliant author and should be required reading for students studying TCM."

"The intended audience for this book are graduate students in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical and electronic engineering. The mathematics is at the level of an advanced undergraduate, and the book could be used as an introduction for such a student. Once the reader is familiar with the basic ideas and approaches of the book, the individual chapters can be read nearly independently; this makes the book useful both as an introduction and as a reference."

"Written by two eminent authors, this book serves as an illustrated guide and explanations on the integration of key structural geology and rock engineering principles and techniques for students, teachers, researchers, engineers and constructors who are working on rock engineering in the fields of civil, mining, geological and construction engineering."

"There is a great deal to tell ... and that it is intended to be exhaustive. I will find it helpful in my own work as a specialist chemical historian."

"In spirit and form, Anomaly! reminds me of Gary Taubes' celebrated Nobel Dreams, but with more humour and explicit subjectivity. Anomaly! may also appeal to readers interested in the sociology of science or in the epistemological problem of how a scientific community finally settles on a single consensus..."

"Building on a deep appreciation of organic electrochemistry Professor Jacques Simonet turned his attention to generating entirely fascinating new classes of modified electrodes and electrode materials with scope for numerous applications. The results summarised in the book testify to Simonet's creativity and chemical insight using controlled electrochemistry to make diverse and unexpected materials ... Holistically the book shows the power of electrochemistry in the hands of a synthetic visionary the results of which will have lasting impact."

"The erudition of the author, and the extreme amount of work that must have gone into the annotated bibliographies and the overviews of extremely current developments in computing, are truly impressive. The work will be an admirable reference book for courses in computing and also an excellent source for general readers in public libraries. These individuals will gain a sound understanding of the fundamentals of computer science, current developments, and where these developments are likely to lead."

"The author clearly and compellingly explains both theories. The calculations are accessible to the intermediate undergraduate level and above. This reviewer feels that Woolfson's work is an important contribution — even if one does not accept the author's central premise, the discussions are interesting and provocative."

"This book teaches how to solve many important problems analytically. 253 pages of well-structured text is complemented by 165 pages of more than 50 exercises. I recommend it to all who seek understanding and insight."

"This book can be used as a guide for farmers, as a reference for teaching, and it can be useful for related government officers, non-government organizations and company leasers. Plenty of colour pictures, diagrams and tables makes it much easier for readers to understand the holistic view and relatively complex idea of agroecology."

"This book is one of those that is likely to be a useful addition to many bookshelves ... colour figures throughout, greatly aids the clarity of the diagrams and the optimum positioning of colour pictures ... Each chapter has a good selection of essay-type questions and numerical problems, both at the level likely to be encountered in undergraduate final examinations."

"Overall this is a very nicely and uniformly written book ... this book would be an excellent choice for a lecturer wishing to teach selected branches of mathematical physics to theoretically oriented geophysicists."

"This is a well-organised and well-written book that aims to show the power of special functions. This book contains a great deal of information and it is recommended to those interested in special functions."

"After much detailed explanations and further examples the authors conclude clearly and with good explanations and examples. The appendices which follow lay out some of the tasks used and offer challenges to the reader as well. This is a fascinating book, and for those thinking deeply about the place of mathematics in our school curriculum, or those wondering about different aspects of our mathematical study, this would make an essential read."

"This book is a high standard, valuable source of knowledge recommended for researchers, lecturers and students interested in the field of algal and cyanobacteria symbioses, plant-microbe or plant-animal interactions, with several excellent drawings, photos and micrographs."

"The book will be interesting to those who are fans of EBM and wish to know more of its origins and its philosophical and other limitations. It will also be useful for opponents of EBM who are looking for support for their thinking. I could imagine each chapter being used as the basis for a seminar for students, residents, or fellows interested in a deep dive into the underlying basis of a paradigm that is now taken for granted."

"This interesting book reports all the knowledge necessary to understand the real meaning of bionanotechnology and the advancement we could have in a near future from the use of the nanostructures in the different fields of food, cosmetics, electronics and medicine. Depicting the diversity of the research areas impacted by the nano effect, the readers may find innovative ideas to go on with their own specific researches in which they are involved."

"This book provides an in-depth survey of the technology of SG control methodologies. Since it examines many of the current key issues associated with the deployment of large-scale SG, engineers, computer scientists, and educators working in SG technologies would all benefit from this book. Presenting many conceptual methodologies, it will inform the reader on the latest challenges and potential solutions for the future power grid."

"The author concludes that it was Zhu's pragmatic macroeconomic management that was responsible for China's economic takeoff into self-sustained growth. This is a valuable volume for students and researchers on Chinese economy. It sheds light on Zhu Rongji's logical, realistic, and unique handling of the Chinese economy during a crucial period."

"Overall, I believe that this book achieves its goals. It discusses a wide variety of problems from the perspective of computer scientists, and introduces the big ideas that underlie the mathematical way of thinking. I would certainly recommend it to a young person who has mathematical aptitude and needs insight into what computational thinking really means."

"(This book) is a vitally important contribution. Prof Kastner has composed her work with clarity and precision, creating a journey into the quantum world that is engaging, lucid, and imminently accessible. A strength of the work is her ability to present very complex concepts embedded in high level mathematics with clarity and without presuming the reader's competency in the related mathematical languages and symbols."

"This is an accessible introduction to the history of Indian mathematics written in at a level appropriate for undergraduate mathematics students. The book is very useful. It is on my bookshelf as a primary reference for teaching the section on India in my course on the history of mathematics."

"Metallomics is a fascinating small book, easy to read for everybody with a basic knowledge of chemistry and biology, which will undoubtedly stimulate at least some of the readers to explore the field more in depth."

"The monograph is well written and organized and recommended to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics or engineering."

"Terrorism is a global threat, as this useful and timely Handbook reveals, showing that every country in the Asia-Pacific region faces some form of potentially violent political, ethnic and religious extremism. The Handbook is both comprehensive and authoritative, relying on the expertise of Asia's finest centre of terrorism research. It is invaluable — a country-by-country resource for business, government, journalism, and the concerned public — and will be the go-to reference for years to come."

"Perhaps the example of Goethe's forays into science will stimulate some people to at least attempt to appreciate the cultural value of science and technology."

"The book captures a comprehensive historical background to OBOR, with a careful documentation of voyages by Cheng Ho (1405 to 1433) from China across Asia toward Europe, to as far as North Africa. What is eminently clear is that the book makes a good starting point, especially from the historical beginnings as equally originating from China's point of view."

"This slender work is packed with an enormous amount of information related to the science of colour. The best part of the material is the array of pictures and diagrams, many of which are in colour, that help to complement the text. The book has something for the physicist, chemist, biologist, engineer, and lay reader. Summing up: Highly recommended."
