Units Of Measurements Of Physical Quantities – Chertov

Posted on May 23, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Units Of Measurements Of Physical Quantities by A. G. Chertov.

About the book

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICAL QUANTITIES is a unique and convenient volume that will be of equal interest as a textbook to the advanced high school student and graduate physics or engineering major, or as a reference volume to the teacher as well as the practicing physicist, chemist, engineer, or laboratory and industrial technician. The coverage combines treatment of units, dimensional analysis, and good physics and provides a fundamental contribution to the subject. The author takes nothing for granted; every step is explicitly explained by proof and derivation. Although the subject of units of physical quantities is usually touched upon in fundamental textbooks on physics, chemistry, or engineering, and while most handbooks contain a small section devoted to this topic accompanied by a number of numerical conversion tables, no work equivalent to this one exists in the English language.

The book was translated from Russian by was published in  by Publishers.

Plasma Astrophysics – Kaplan, Tsytovich

Posted on May 20, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Plasma Astrophysics by S. A. Kaplan; V. N. Tsytovich.

About the book

The authors considered the task of writing a book in which fairly complicated topics would be presented, if possible, in an intelligible form without sacrificing the exactness and generality of a qualitative description of the physics of the various phenomena and their mathematical formulation. The book is not intended solely for astrophysicists. The problems of the theory of the interaction of fast particles with a plasma, their radiation, and the behaviour of a plasma in a very strong magnetic field are of interest also for the study of laboratory plasmas.

The first chapter of the book gives at a relatively elementary, but physically rigorous, level the general ideas of the nature of collective plasma processes and of plasma turbulence, using the method of elementary excitations, developed by one of the authors and expounded in more detail in other monographs (Tsytovich, 1970, 1971a, 1972b). This chapter serves essentially as an introduction to the other three chapters which contain the main contents of the book and are devoted to the actual analysis of plasma processes on the Sun (Chapter 2), in objects such as galactic nuclei and quasars (Chapter 3) and in pulsars (Chapter 4). The authors have attempted to write the general theoretical part of these chapters independent of the actual estimates, bearing in mind possible future applications of the theory and probable new astrophysical discoveries. The same purpose is also served by the detailed tables of the probabilities of various processes in the Appendix—where we also indicate methods to apply them—where we have given in a convenient form also the probabilities which were not directly used in the book.

The topics of the present book are based upon lectures given by V. N. Tsytovich at the Moscow State University (in 1968 to 1971) and in the Institute of Cosmic Studies (in 1971) and by S. A. Kaplan at the Gor’kil State University (in 1968 to 1971).

The book was translated from Russian by D. Ter Haar was published in 1973.

Garri Kasparov – Yudovich

Posted on May 19, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Garri Kasparov by M. Yudovich.

.

About the book

Mikhail Yudovich (1912-1987) was an International Master, an eminent theorist of chess and a popular author. As a teacher of chess, he brought up many Grandmaster and Masters. During the last ten years Yudovich had often met Garri Kasparov, closely following his creative development. The book tells how Kasparov’s chess career began, and how children are taught chess in the USSR. The author traces the stages of Kasparov’s creative growth — from children’s competitions up to his struggle for the World Chess Title, Mikhail Yudovich has annotated about a hundred best games of the youngest ever World Champion. He has also used the analyses of Kasparov himself and of other prominent Soviet players.
The volume is furnished with a list of Kasparov’s opponents and an index to openings; it is amply illustrated by photographs, many of which are published for the first time.

The book was translated from Russian by Oleg Zilbert and was published in 1988 by Raduga Publishers.

Psychopathology and Psychiatry – Pavlov

Posted on May 18, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book I. P. Pavlov – Psychopathology And Psychiatry – Selected Works.

About the book

The book is a collection of Pavlov’s papers written at different times and offering a physiological interpretation of various psychopathological symptoms, syndromes and mental diseases, especially so widespread a disease as schizophrenia. The book also contains Pavlov’s articles which throw light on his teaching on types of nervous’ systems and experimental neuroses. These articles are very important for understanding the pathogenesis of various psychogenic disorders, reactive states, neuroses and psychopathies, i.e., problems of so-called borderline psychiatry.

Some of Pavlov’s articles published in the present edition deal with various aspects of his physiological teaching on higher nervous activity, particularly his conceptions of inhibition, sleep and hypnosis, with which the reader must familiarise himself to gain a better insight into his point of view on the physiological bases of mental disorders.

The book was compiled by Y. Popov and L. Rokhlin and  translated from Russian by D. Myshne and S. Belsky. The book was published in 1962 by Foreign Languages Publishing House.

The Rare Earth Elements – Trifonov

Posted on May 17, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book The Rare Earth Elements by D. N. Trifonov.

About the book

Certain elements and their compounds, previously considered rare and of no practical interest, are being introduced on a large scale in industry to meet the growing demands of the modern world.

The family of rare-earth elements (lanthanides), which in­cludes approximately one-fifth of all the metals occurring on the earth, is of very great interest for several reasons. The peculiar physical and chemical properties of the lanthanides and their compounds, and their relatively high abundance on the earth’s crust, have engaged the attention not only of individuals taking an interest in science but also of entire scientific bodies. Un­fortunately, however, the scale on which these elements are used in Soviet industry is far from adequate. This is so, although the Soviet Union possesses very rich deposits of rare-earth ores and all that is necessary for their extensive application in industry and, in particular, in metallurgy.

The author, a research worker at the Institute of the History of Science and Technology of the Academy of Sciences, U.S.S.R. has given an account, which is both lively and easily intelligible, of the long and extremely involved history of the discovery of these elements, their properties, the methods for their separation, the present state of the problem and some prospects of future developments in this branch of chemistry.

Although the book is primarily intended for laymen, special­ists also are likely to find some interesting facts in it. It is to be hoped that the engaging story told here will not only succeed in creating an interest for this field among people with little knowledge of it but also help those concerned with bordering domains of science and technology to form a clearer concep­tion of the immense potentialities inherent in the extensive use of these elements, which possess such unique properties.

The book was translated from Russian by Prasenjit Basu and was edited by R. C. Vickery, published in 1963

Theoretical Physics And Astrophysics – Ginzburg

Posted on May 16, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Theoretical Physics And Astrophysics by V. L. Ginzburg.

About the book

The basis of the exposition was a lecture course for students in the physics and astrophysics departments of the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute. These lectures were not meant to replace a systematic course and had just the charac­ter of ’capita selecta’ taking into account the interests of the department and not least the interests and capabilities of the author. Of course, we are not saying that the problems which the author at a particular moment in the page was occupied with are more important or more interesting than many other. It is simply the case that merely presenting more or less moved by the material with which he is well familiar, the author may perhaps hope to supplement existing texts and monographs without checking whether he is rewriting to some extent duplicating them.

As to the nature of the exposition one should note that we are dealing here not with lectures which are written out but with a special text specially pre­pared for these lectures, in which rather often we have also included material which is not very suitable and in fact was not used for the lectures themselves (that is, for the oral presentation). In this respect the book is in style close to a monograph or a review article which finds reflection also in the rather large number of references to the literature. As amongst those there is a large number of references to work by the author, we emphasize that this, like the choice of material, is completely unconnected with any pretentions, but caused by the tendency, already mentioned, to touch only upon very familiar problems which were dealt with in detail in the papers referred to; moreover, a whole number of such papers were used directly in the text.

We note, finally, that the book is definitely not intended for people with a mathematical inclination — such as “pure” theoretical physicists. The excep­tionally large role played by mathematics in theoretical physics is completely unquestionable and natural, but aiming at mathematical generality and rigour is by far not always justified — one must pay for this. It is generally known, in particular, that most new physical results have been obtained by relatively simple means while the ‘mathematization’ occurred only in the later stages. At any rate, physics, and not mathematics is the main point of theoretical physics. An exposition of theoretical problem with a ‘general physics’ bias is at least as permissible as the nowadays more widely propagated tendency to mathematical perfection.

One may hope that this book will turn out to be useful for graduate students and also for post-doctoral and research workers.

The book was translated from Russian by D. ter Haar and was published in 1979.
