It's never too early to start exploring big ideas. This companion
volume to 'My First Book of Quantum Physics' introduces complex
science to children through bright illustrations and amusing text.
Einstein's theory of relativity is one of the cornerstones of
modern physics but it requires a total rethink of our notions of
time and space. Strange things happen in a relative universe:
length and time are not fixed and depend upon your frame of
reference. If you move at high speed, time slows down, space
contracts and weight increases. So a period of time for someone on
Earth that lasts for hundreds of years may only be a couple of
hours for someone travelling in a rocket close to the speed of
light. It's mind-boggling stuff, but the theory of relativity has a
real impact on our world today. A car's GPS navigation system, for
example, uses information received from orbiting satellites and is
designed to account for the fact that time ticks at a different
rate on these satellites than it does on the ground. Without
allowing for relativity's effects, after just a day, your
whereabouts according to GPS could be up to 5 miles (8km) from your
actual location. So to find out more about how our universe works
and how space and time are connected, look no further than this
fascinating, illustrated guide to relativity.

For all courses in experimental foods, food science, and related
topics. Foods: Experimental Perspectives, Seventh Edition will help
students pursuing food-related careers broaden and deepen their
scientific knowledge of food and its safe preparation. It clearly
explains food science's foundational principles and most important
emerging technologies. The text first surveys the consumer
marketplace, career opportunities, and basic food research
techniques. Next, it discusses food's physical aspects and
preparation, and thoroughly explains carbohydrates, lipids, and
proteins. Finally, it presents up-to-date coverage of food safety,
preservation, and additives. Learning is promoted through Food for
Thought boxes, photos, objectives, margin notes, definitions,
charts, web links, and study questions. Updated throughout, this
edition includes extensively revised coverage of food safety, GMOs,
trans fats, alternative sweeteners, and much more. Also Available -
Experimental Foods Labratory Manual ( ISBN 013 215 808 6)
Railway fun isn't just limited to adventures during the hot summer
months. There's always something to be done on the railway whatever
the time of year. During the winter there are running repairs to be
done and time for construction projects in the workshop. The
children have lots of fun creating their SPLAT machine to help
paint all the sleepers, while in the Spring as the days getting
slightly longer and it's time for spring cleaning at the station
and fixing up the track. As summer arrives more time is spent on
the railway which they use to raise money for charity with a non
stop train ride! Then in Autumn, pumpkins adorn the railway with a
scary vision appearing during the spooky ghost train party - thanks
to another of Peter's inventions!
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.
