Physics & philosophy

the revolution in modern science
2007
Presents German physicist Werner Heisenberg's 1958 text in which he discusses the philosophical implications and social consequences of quantum mechanics and other physical theories.

Quantum mechanics

"A book for high school students about the history and key scientists related to the discipline of quantum mechanics"--.

The quantum universe

(and why anything that can happen, does)
2013
The authors attempt to clarify quantum mechanics and examine what observations of the natural world made it necessary, how it was constructed, and why we are confident that, for all its apparent strangeness, it is a good theory.

A Darker Shade of Magic

2016
"Kell is one of the last Travelers--magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes--as such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne--a place where people fight to control magic, and the magic fights back, draining the city to its very bones. And once upon a time, there was Black London...but no one speaks of that now. Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler, personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see--a dangerous hobby, and one that has set him up for accidental treason"--Provided by publisher.

The cat in the box

2019
"Schr?dinger's cat is a thought experiment meant to explain the flawed interpretation of quantum superposition. Chris Ferrie has broken the experiment into a whimsical picture book perfect for scientists to give and receive as a gift. And even some of our younger scientists will enjoy the playful cadence that transpires! Schr?dinger used This cat in a box To dream up the first Quantum paradox. A paradox is something That doesn't make sense. There must be an assumption That is causing offense"--Provided by publisher.

Parallel universes explained

2019
Since the time of Einstein, ideas of parallel universes have grown from far-out concepts to mature scientific theories. Using everyday analogies and do-it-yourself models to simplify intimidating concepts, students will learn about the most fascinating topics in modern cosmology, such as the big bang theory, inflation, wormholes, and higher dimensions.

A conjuring of light

"Londons fall and kingdoms rise while darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire, and the fraught balance of magic blossoms into dangerous territory while heroes struggle"--OCLC.
