The fourth volume of the Collected Works is devoted to Wigners contribution to physical chemistry, statistical mechanics and solid-state physics. One corner stone was his introduction of what is now called the Wigner function, while his paper on adiabatic perturbations foreshadowed later work on Berry phases. Although few in number, Wigners articles on solid-state physics laid the foundations for the modern theory of the electronic structure of metals.
Be prepared for the worst case scenario with t this field-tested
guide to surviving a nuclear attack, written by a revered civil
defense expert. This edition of Cresson H. Kearny's iconic Nuclear
War Survival Skills (originally published in 1979 and updated by
Kearny himself in 1987 and again in 2001), offers expert advice for
ensuring your family's safety should the worst come to pass.
Chock-full of practical instructions and preventative measures,
Nuclear War Survival Skills is based on years of meticulous
scientific research conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Featuring a new introduction by ex-Navy SEAL and New York Times
bestselling author Don Mann, this book also includes Instructions
for six different fallout shelters Food and water Myths and facts
about the dangers of nuclear weapons Tips for maintaining an
adequate food and water supply Shelter sanitation and preventive
medicine Surviving without doctors A foreword by "the father of the
hydrogen bomb," physicist Dr. Edward Teller, An "About the Author"
note by Eugene P. Wigner, physicist and Nobel Laureate. Written at
a time when global tensions were at their peak, Nuclear War
Survival Skills remains relevant in the dangerous age in which we
now live.
A clear and well-organized review of what is presently known about
nuclear structure. Emphasis is less upon mathematical detail than
upon the obtaining of a clear perspective which relates the various
lines of approach to this complex and rapidly developing field.
Particular attention is paid to nuclear models and to the several
types of nuclear reactions. Originally published in 1958. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
