The Great Design Zusammenfassung

The Great Design: Particles, Fields, and Creation Robert K. Adair (Associate Director for High Energy and Nuclear Physics at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, Associate Director for High Energy and Nuclear Physics at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, Yale University)

This introductory volume emphasises our understanding of the fundamental forces - gravitation, electromagnetism - and the fundamental particles on which they act and which go to build atoms and molecules. There are chapters on concepts; invariance and conservation laws; covariance scalars, vectors, tensors; the electromagnetic field; cosmology; and much more.

The Great Design Bewertungen

' a straightforward, unfussy and well-ordered account of the core concepts of relativistic particle physics.' Nature ' Adair is a long-time outstanding researcher and teacher in the field of particle physics. He has digested many of the seemingly impossible-to-understand concepts for general readers, and has presented these concepts in the book...Excellent illustrations are used throughout. Highly recommended for all libraries.' Choice
