All aboard! From the fastest to the longest, the oldest to the
newest, through tunnels, across bridges and up mountainsides, take
a fascinating ride through the world of trains in this brilliant
new book from illustrator James Gulliver Hancock. In this follow-up
to How Cities Work and How Airports Work, young readers travel
through history and around the world to find out everything they
ever wanted to know about trains. Unfold pages and lift flaps to
reveal bustling stations, old steam locomotives fuelled with coal,
and high-speed trains zooming across Japan at almost 400 miles per
hour! And that's not all. See how trains reach the top of
mountains, transport people under cities, and work beneath the sea.
And don't forget to dress up - we'll take you on some luxurious
journeys including the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to
Vladivostok, and The Ghan, which runs all the way across Australia!
How Trains Work is jam-packed with amazing facts and awesome
illustrations, and was created in consultation with Anthony Coulls,
Senior Curator of Rail Transport & Technology, National Railway
Museum, UK. About Lonely Planet Kids: Lonely Planet Kids - an
imprint of the world's leading travel authority Lonely Planet -
published its first book in 2011. Over the past 45 years, Lonely
Planet has grown a dedicated global community of travellers, many
of whom are now sharing a passion for exploration with their
children. Lonely Planet Kids educates and encourages young readers
at home and in school to learn about the world with engaging books
on culture, sociology, geography, nature, history, space and more.
We want to inspire the next generation of global citizens and help
kids and their parents to approach life in a way that makes every
day an adventure. Come explore!
Nanoscience is of central importance in the physical and biological
sciences and is now pervasive in technology. However nanomagnetism
has a special role to play as magnetic properties depend uniquely
on both dimensionality and lengthscales. Nanomagnetism is already
central to data storage, sensor and device technologies but is
increasingly being used in the life sciences and medicine. This
volume aims to introduce scientists, computer scientists, engineers
and technologists from diverse fields to this fascinating and
technologically important new branch of nanoscience. The volume
should appeal to both the interested general reader but also to the
researcher wishing to obtain an overview of this fast moving field.
The contributions come from acknowledged leaders in the field who
each give authoritative accounts of key fundamental aspects of
nanomagnetism to which they have themselves made a major
contribution. After a brief introduction by the editors, Wu first
surveys the fundamental properties of magnetic nanostructures. The
interlayer exchange interactions within magnetic multilayer
structures is next discussed by Stiles. Camley then discusses the
static, dynamic and thermal properties of magnetic multilayers and
nanostructures, followed by an account of the phenomenon of
exchange anisotropy by Berkowitz and Kodama. This latter phenomenon
is widely in current read head devices for example. The transport
properties of nanostructures also are spectacular, and again
underpin computer technology, as we see from the discussion of
giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and tunnelling magnetoresistance
(TMR) presented by Fert and his colleagues. Beyond GMR and TMR we
look to the field of spintronics where new electronic devices are
envisioned and for which quantum
computing may depend as discussed in the chapter by Flatte and
Jonker.
The volume concludes with discussion of the recently discovered
phenomenon of current induced switching of magnetization by Edwards
and Mathon.
* Subject is in the forefront of nanoscience
* All Section authors are leading figures in this key field

"Special Circumstances" - These words have sent chills down Tally's
spine since her days as a rebellious Ugly. Back then Specials were a
sinister rumour - frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong,
breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives
without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary… Now she's
been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered
to keep the Uglies down and the Pretties stupid.
The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel
better than anything Tally can remember… most of the time. One tiny
corner of her heart still remembers something more. Still, it's easy to
tune that out - until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels
of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice:
carry out the mission she's programmed to complete, or listen to that
tiny, faint heartbeat telling her that something's wrong… Either way,
Tally's world will never be the same.
The goal of this Volume "Conceptual Foundations of Materials: A
standard model for ground- and excited-state properties" is to
present the fundamentals of electronic structure theory that are
central to the understanding and prediction of materials phenomena
and properties. The emphasis is on foundations and concepts. The
Sections are designed to offer a broad and comprehensive
perspective of the field. They cover the basic aspects of modern
electronic structure approaches and highlight their applications to
the structural (ground state, vibrational, dynamic and
thermodynamic, etc.) and electronic (spectroscopic, dielectric,
magnetic, transport, etc.) properties of real materials including
solids, clusters, liquids, and nanostructure materials. This
framework also forms a basis for studies of emergent properties
arising from low-energy electron correlations and interactions such
as the quantum Hall effects, superconductivity, and other
cooperative phenomena.
Although some of the basics and models for solids were developed in
the early part of the last century by figures such as Bloch, Pauli,
Fermi, and Slater, the field of electronic structure theory went
through a phenomenal growth during the past two decades, leading to
new concepts, understandings, and predictive capabilities for
determining the ground- and excited-state properties of real,
complex materials from first principles. For example, theory can
now be used to predict the existence and properties of materials
not previously realized in nature or in the laboratory. Computer
experiments can be performed to examine the behavior of individual
atoms in a particular process, to analyze the importance of
different mechanisms, or just to see what happen if one varies the
interactions and parameters in the simulation. Also, with ab initio
calculations, one can determine from first principles important
interaction parameters which are needed in model studies of complex
processes or highly correlated systems. Each time a new material or
a novel form of a material is discovered, electronic structure
theory inevitably plays a fundamental role in unraveling its
properties.
- Provides the foundations of the field of condensed matter
physics
- An excellent supplementary text for classes on condensed matter
physics/solid state physics
- Volume covers current work at the forefront

underlying fundamentals
