The fictional world of Will Self is unlike any other. In The Quantity Theory of Insanity we learn amongst other things the dark & terrible secret of Ward 9 why you are right to think that London is full of dead people & that each & every human being is caught up in a colossal balancing act between the sane & the insane.. . The Quantity Theory of Insanity is acerbic satirical hilarious & most of all utterly unique in imaginative vision. ...

Everyone knows that sub-atomic particles have some very strange qualities. Light sometimes behaves like a particle sometimes like a wave. Objects separated by vast distances interact faster than the speed of light
- what Einstein called 'spooky action at a distance'. Most strangely the behaviour of objects somehow seems be determined in retrospect depending on what the observer is looking for. In this ground-breaking work the authors show how these quantum properties are being observed in larger & larger objects. They set out carefully & cautiously exactly what quantum theory might mean for us. Quantum physics presents an unanswerable challenge to our common sense understanding of the universe & the final explanation might not come from physics at all but from the equally strange world of cognitive neuro-science
- the mysteries of mind & matter might be one & the same.

Perhaps the greatest physicist of the second half of the twentieth century Richard Feynman changed the way we think about quantum mechanics the most perplexing of all physical theories. Here Lawrence M. Krauss himself a theoretical physicist & a best-selling author offers a unique scientific biography: a rollicking narrative coupled with clear & novel expositions of science at the limits. From the death of Feynman s childhood sweetheart during the Manhattan Project to his reluctant rise as a scientific icon we see Feynman s life through his science providing a new understanding of the legacy of a man who has fascinated millions. Physics Worlds Book of the Year 2011 ...

For more than 25 years Alastair Raes Quantum Mechanics" has been one of the most highly regarded textbooks in this area. From elementary atomic physics & mathematics to angular momentum & time dependence to relativity & quantum computing the text shows how cutting-edge research topics of quantum mechanics have been applied to various disciplines. Retaining the clarity of its predecessors this fifth edition presents revised & updated material throughout the text. It offers a clear exposition of fundamental ideas additional worked examples of the application of quantum mechanics principles to a range of physical problems & more information on modern quantum information technology. This text was one of the first to include a substantial discussion of the conceptual & philosophical implications of quantum mechanics which has been revised & extended in the fifth edition. Other topics covered include one- & three-dimensional Schrodinger equations angular momentum time-independent perturbation theory time dependence scattering & relativity. Cementing its reputation as an exceptional introductory textbook " Quantum Mechanics Fifth Edition" fully covers the concepts of quantum mechanics taught in an undergraduate physics course & provides the foundation necessary for other specialized courses." ...

Quantum Mechanics: Concepts & Applications provides a clear balanced & modern introduction to the subject. Written with the students background & ability in mind the book takes an innovative approach to quantum mechanics by combining the essential elements of the theory with the practical applications: it is therefore both a textbook & a problem solving book in one self-contained volume. Carefully structured the book starts with the experimental basis of quantum mechanics & then discusses its mathematical tools. Subsequent chapters cover the formal foundations of the subject the exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation for one & three dimensional potentials time-independent & time-dependent approximation methods & finally the theory of scattering. The text is richly illustrated throughout with many worked examples & numerous problems with step-by-step solutions designed to help the reader master the machinery of quantum mechanics. The new editionhas beencompletely updated & a solutions manual is available on request. Suitable for senior undergradutate courses & graduate courses. ...

Dr Edward Kitchener a brilliant researcher into quantum cosmology for the Event Horizon conglomerate.. .but no good to anybody now lying dead with his lungs spread out on either side of his open chest. The security system at Launde Abbey was premier-grade yet a mercenary could still have got through & plenty of people anxious to stop Kitchener's work would pay the killer's fee. But why would a professional waste time in ritually slaughtering the target? Event Horizon needs to know fast so Greg Mandel psi-boosted ex-private eye is enticed out of retirement to launch himself on a convoluted trail involving confrontation with a past which -- according to Kitchener's theories -- might never have happened. ...
