Nuclear Weapons: A Very Short IntroductionThird Edition £8.99 Joseph M. Siracusa
9780198860532 Nuclear Weapons are the most deadly weapon ever invented. This Very Short Introduction discusses the history and politics of nuclear weapons since their development in the 1940s. It describes the successes and failures of treaties that have aimed for their control and reduction, and their impact on international relations today. |

Physics of Elasticity and Crystal Defects£49.99 Adrian P. Sutton
9780198860785 Oxford Series on Materials Modelling Although linear elasticity of defects in solids is well established, this textbook introduces the subject in a novel way by comparing key concepts at the atomic scale and at the usual continuum scale, and it explores the relationships between these treatments. There are exercises to work through, with solutions for instructors from the OUP website. |

Modern Optics Simplified£34.99 Robert D. Guenther
9780198842866 This text reduces the complexity of the coverage of optics to allow students with elementary calculus to learn the principles of optics and modern Fourier theory of diffraction and imaging. Each chapter offers simple examples from real engineering problems and includes current topics in imaging such as optical coherence tomography and fiber optics. |

|
Optics f2f: From Fourier to Fresnel£34.99 Charles S. Adams, Ifan G. Hughes
9780198786795 This textbook on optics introduces key concepts of wave optics and light propagation. The book highlights topics in contemporary optics such as propagation, dispersion and apodisation. The principles are applied through worked examples, and the book is copiously illustrated with more than 240 figures and 200 end-of-chapter exercises. |

Waves: A Very Short Introduction£8.99 Mike Goldsmith
9780198803782 From sound waves to gravitational waves, and from waves of light to crashing rollers on the ocean, Mike Goldsmith explores the fundamental features shared by all waves in the natural world, and considers the range of phenomena resulting from wave motion, including reflection, diffraction, and polarization in light, and beats and echoes in sound. |

|
Solved Problems in Classical Electromagnetism: Analytical and Numerical Solutions with Comments£34.99 J. Pierrus
9780198821922 Classical electromagnetism - one of the fundamental pillars of physics - is an important topic for all types of physicists from the theoretical to the applied. Although there are many books on this subject, hardly any are written in the question-and-answer style format adopted in this book. |
|
|
Light-Matter Interaction: Physics and Engineering at the NanoscaleSecond Edition £43.49 John Weiner, Frederico Nunes
9780198796671 This book provides advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers from diverse disciplines with the principal tools required to understand and contribute to rapidly advancing developments in light-matter interaction, centred at optical frequencies and length scales from a few hundred nanometres to a few hundredths of a nanometre. |
|
|
Laser Experiments for Chemistry and Physics£42.99 Robert N. Compton, Michael A. Duncan
9780198742982 This book provides a collection of experiments to introduce lasers into the undergraduate curricula in Chemistry and Physics. A variety of experiments are included with different levels of complexity. All have background information, experimental details and the theoretical background necessary to interpret the results. |
|
|
The Physics of Quantum Mechanics£30.99 James Binney, David Skinner
9780199688579 The Physics of Quantum Mechanics aims to give students a good understanding of how quantum mechanics describes the material world. The text stresses the continuity between the quantum world and the classical world, which is merely an approximation to the quantum world. |
|
|
Quantum Information£32.49 Stephen Barnett
9780198527633 Oxford Master Series in Physics Quantum information is a new area of science, which brings together physics, information theory, computer science and mathematics. The book, which is based on two successful lecture courses, is intended to introduce readers to the exciting ideas behind ground-breaking developments including quantum cryptography, teleportation and quantum computing. |
