Product Description
In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault. Since faults do not usually consist of a single, clean fracture, the term fault zone is used when referring to the zone of complex deformation that is associated with the fault plane. The two sides of a non-vertical fault are called the hanging wall and footwall. By definition, the hanging wall occurs above the fault and the footwall occurs below the fault. This terminology comes from mining. When working a tabular ore body the miner stood with the footwall under his feet and with the hanging wall hanging above him. ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This article describes a particle in planar motion when observed from non-inertial reference frames. The most famous examples of planar motion are related to the motion of two spheres that are gravitationally attracted to one another, and the generalization of this problem to planetary motion. See centrifugal force, two-body problem, orbit and Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Those problems fall in the general field of analytical dynamics, the determination of orbits from given laws of force. This article is focused more on the kinematical issues surrounding planar motion, that is, determination of the forces necessary to result in a certain trajectory given the particle trajectory. General results presented in fictitious forces here are applied to observations of a moving particle as seen from several specific non-inertial frames, for example, a local frame (one tied to the moving particle so it appears stationary), and a co-rotating frame (one with an arbitrarily located but fixed axis and a rate of rotation that makes the particle appear to have only radial motion and zero azimuthal motion). The Lagrangian approach to fictitious forces is introduced. Unlike real forces such as electromagnetic forces, fictitious forces do not originate from physical interactions between objects. The appearance of fictitious forces normally is associated with use of a non-inertial frame of reference, and their absence with use of an inertial frame of reference. The connection between inertial frames and fictitious forces (also called inertial forces or pseudo-forces), is expressed, for example, b...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19768186 ... Read more

The investigation of minor solar system bodies, such as comets and asteroids, using spacecraft requires an understanding of orbital motion in strongly perturbed environments. The solutions to a wide range of complex and challenging problems in this field are reviewed in this comprehensive and authoritative work.

Product Description
Why do photons and speeding electrons have both wave features and particle features when common sense tells us that they should be either particle or wave and not an amalgam of both? And why is the velocity of light constant for all observers? These central questions of physics are reexamined in a new approach using an adaptation of an old method. In quantum physics Einstein's chief method of inquiry between 1905 and 1925 involved a comparison of the thermodynamic properties of matter quanta and radiation quanta (photons). In these pages the author seeks to extend that method beyond thermodynamics to see what new insights it can offer us. ... Read more

Equality fo mass and energy -- lucidly analysed
This is potentially an important work. It certainly contains a number of original ideas regarding the formal similarity between particle and photon, between field and wave. The thrust of the book is the "radical equality of mass and energy." I am not sure the author fully spells out what this means in the broader sense and I wish he had given more space to Bohm and Bell. Nevertheless, I liked the historical context provided, especially about Einstein, and highly recommend this book.

A Small Book of Ontological Genius...
Paul Klevgard has written the seminal snapshot of a core analysis of quantum and relative physics, from an intuitive ontological point of view. He's achieved what everyone over the last 100 years has attempted and failed to do. Not only does this little volume easily explain what's been missing in quantum uncertainty, but what has otherwise been very clouded and unclear about real, rest and relative mass. Paul takes all the major entangled issues and makes them clear through a simple dialogical style, reminiscent of Socrates and Plato's dialogics.

Klevgard removes the pluralistic relative nonsense that's surrounded, not only physics, but philosophy and mathematics as well, by showing clearly where relativity belongs, and where real rest mass exists. He separates space/time into space(extensional dimension) and time(progressional dimension), which offers the clearest examples/analogies/explanations I've ever seen, even clearer than Einstein's own. The use of ontology as vehicle of explanation compares only to Charles Sanders Peirce's use, to make the complex, simple, yet scientifically factual.

If you've ever wanted a clearer explanation of Lorentz/Einstein transformations of mass to energy, and energy to mass, then buy this little jewel. It's well worth far more than the cost... ... Read more

Product Description
Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modeling. Indeed, our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book gives a modern account of the nonlinear interactions between waves and mean flows such as shear flows and vortices. A detailed account of the theory of linear dispersive waves in moving media is followed by a thorough introduction to classical wave-mean interaction theory. The author then extends the scope of the classical theory and lifts its restriction to zonally symmetric mean flows. The book is a fundamental reference for graduate students and researchers in fluid mechanics, and can be used as a text for advanced courses; it will also be appreciated by geophysicists and physicists who need an introduction to this important area in fundamental fluid dynamics and atmosphere-ocean science. ...
