title : Atmospheric Thermodynamics Type de document : printed text Auteur : Craig Bohren, Author Editeur : New york : Oxford University Press Date de publication : 2023 Nombre de pages : 579p. Dimensions : 25*17 ISBN (ou autre code) : 978-0-19-887271-9 Langue : English (eng) Langue originale : English (eng) Indexation : géo Résumé : Atmospheric Thermodynamics provides a comprehensive treatment of a subject that can often be intimid ating. The text analyses real-life problems and applications of the subject, alongside of guiding the reader through the fundamental basics and covering the first and second laws and the ideal gas law, followed by an emphasis on moist processes in Earth's atmosphere. Water in all its phases is a critical component of weather and the Earth's climate system. With user-friendly chapters that include energy conservation and water and its transformations, the authors write with a willingness to expose assumptions and approximations usually absent in other textbooks. History is woven into the text to provide a context for the time evolution of thermodynamics and its place in atmospheric science and demonstrating how physical reasoning leads to correct explanations of everyday phenomena. Many of the experiments described were done using inexpensive instruments to take advantage of the earth's atmosphere as a freely accessible thermodynamics library. This second edition provides updated treatments of atmospheric measurements and substantially expanded sections that include atmospheric applications of the first and second laws and energy exchange between humans and their atmospheric environment. With 400+ thought provoking problems and 350 references with annotated notes and further reading suggestions, this second edition provides a basic understanding of the fundamentals of this subject while still being a comprehensive reference guide for those working in the field of atmospheric and environmental sciences.

title : Introduction to Dynamical Wave Function Collapse : Realism in Quantum Physics Type de document : printed text Auteur : Pearle Philip, Author Editeur : New york : Oxford University Press Date de publication : 2024 Nombre de pages : 210p. Dimensions : 24*17 ISBN (ou autre code) : 978-0-19-890137-2 Langue : English (eng) Langue originale : English (eng) Indexation : phy Résumé : Quantum theory (QT) is the best, most useful physics theory ever invented. For example, ubiquitous a re cell phones, laser scanners, medical imagers, all inventions depending on QT. However, there is something deeply wrong with QT. It describes the probabilities of what happens, but it does not give a description of what actually happens. Most (but not all) physicists are not worried about this flaw, the probabilities are good enough for them. Other physicists, the author included, believe that is not good enough. The purpose of physics is to describe reality. To not do so is to abandon 'the great enterprise' (John Bell). This book shows one way to alter QT so that the new theory does describe what actually happens. This theory, created over three decades ago, has been called the 'Continuous Spontaneous Localization' (CSL) theory. Many experiments over this period have tested CSL, and so far it is neither confirmed nor refuted. This book shows how CSL works, and discusses its consequences. Ideal for academic students, graduates and practising scientists and physicists seeking a deeper understanding of the quantum realm, this book provides accessible explanations and sheds light on the interplay between probability and reality in the realm of quantum theory.

title : Urban Biodiversity and Equity : Justice-Centered Conservation in Cities Type de document : printed text Auteur : Max Lambert, Author Editeur : New york : Oxford University Press Date de publication : 2023 Nombre de pages : 290p. Dimensions : 25*19 ISBN (ou autre code) : 978-0-19-887728-8 Langue : English (eng) Langue originale : English (eng) Indexation : ngv Résumé : This advanced textbook moves beyond a basic scientific comprehension of urban ecosystems to understa nd the essential details of how scientists, policy makers, and practitioners develop solutions to effectively manage urban biodiversity. Such efforts necessitate unravelling the complex components that bolster or constrain biodiversity including human-wildlife interactions, resource availability, climate fluctuations, novel species relationships, and landscape heterogeneity. However, key to an understanding of these processes is also recognizing the tremendous social variation inherent within and across urban areas. The diversity of urban human communities fundamentally shapes how society designs, builds, and manages urban landscapes. This means that urban environmental management unavoidably must account for human social variation. Unfortunately, urban systems have a history and continued legacy of social inequality (e.g., systemic racism and classism) that govern how cities are both built and managed. This novel text not only highlights these connections, but also illustrates the interdisciplinary approaches needed for advancing a new, justice-centred approach to nature conservation. Urban Biodiversity and Equity is suitable for graduate level students and professional researchers from both natural and social science disciplines studying the ecology, conservation, and management of urban environments and their biodiversity. It will also be of relevance and use to a broader audience of urban ecologists, urban planners, and urban wildlife practitioners.
