Quantum Mechanics - David H. (oregon State University) Mcintyre - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Quantum Mechanics - David H. (oregon State University) Mcintyre - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This popular undergraduate quantum mechanics textbook is now available in a more affordable printing from Cambridge University Press. Unlike many other books on quantum mechanics, this text begins by examining experimental quantum phenomena such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment and spin measurements, using them as the basis for developing the theoretical principles of quantum mechanics. Dirac notation is developed from the outset, offering an intuitive and powerful mathematical toolset for calculation, and familiarizing students with this important notational system. This non-traditional approach is designed to deepen students'' conceptual understanding of the subject, and has been extensively class tested. Suitable for undergraduate physics students, worked examples are included throughout and end of chapter problems act to reinforce and extend important concepts. Additional activities for students are provided online, including interactive simulations of Stern-Gerlach experiments, and a fully worked solutions manual is available for instructors.

Earthquake Time Bombs - Robert (oregon State University) Yeats - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Earthquake Time Bombs - Robert (oregon State University) Yeats - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert Yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an ''earthquake time bomb'', a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, a catastrophic earthquake struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and triggering a humanitarian crisis. In this timely study, Yeats sheds new light on other earthquake hotspots around the world and the communities at risk. He examines these seismic threats in the context of recent cultural history, including economic development, national politics and international conflicts. Descriptions of emerging seismic resilience plans from some cities provide a more hopeful picture. Essential reading for policy-makers, infrastructure and emergency planners, scientists, students and anyone living in the shadow of an earthquake, this book raises the alarm so that we can protect our vulnerable cities before it''s too late.

Rhetoric and Innovation in Hellenistic Art - Kristen (university Of Oregon) Seaman - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Rhetoric and Innovation in Hellenistic Art - Kristen (university Of Oregon) Seaman - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Hellenistic artworks are celebrated for innovations such as narrative, characterization, and description. The most striking examples are works associated with the Hellenistic courts. Their revolutionary appearance is usually attributed to Alexander the Great''s conquest of the Near East, the start of the Hellenistic kingdoms, and Greek-Eastern interactions. In Rhetoric and Innovation in Hellenistic Art, Kristen Seaman offers a new approach to Hellenistic art by investigating an internal development in Greek cultural production, notably, advances in rhetoric. Rhetorical education taught kings, artists, and courtiers how to be Greek, giving them a common intellectual and cultural background from which they approached art. Seaman explores how rhetorical techniques helped artists and their royal patrons construct Hellenism through their innovative art in the scholarly atmospheres of Pergamon and Alexandria. Drawing upon artistic, literary, and historical evidence, this interdisciplinary study will be of interest to students and scholars in art and archaeology, Classics, and ancient history.

Knowledge and the Public Interest, 1575–1725 - Vera (university Of Oregon) Keller - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Knowledge and the Public Interest, 1575–1725 - Vera (university Of Oregon) Keller - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Many studies relate modern science to modern political and economic thought. Using one shift in order to explain the other, however, has begged the question of modernity''s origins. New scientific and political reasoning emerged simultaneously as controversial forms of probabilistic reasoning. Neither could ground the other. They both rejected logical systems in favor of shifting, incomplete, and human-oriented forms of knowledge which did not meet accepted standards of speculative science. This study follows their shared development by tracing one key political stratagem for linking human desires to the advancement of knowledge: the collaborative wish list. Highly controversial at the beginning of the seventeenth century, charismatic desiderata lists spread across Europe, often deployed against traditional sciences. They did not enter the academy for a century but eventually so shaped the deep structures of research that today this once controversial genre appears to be a musty and even pedantic term of art.

World War One, American Literature, and the Federal State - Mark (university Of Oregon) Whalan - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

World War One, American Literature, and the Federal State - Mark (university Of Oregon) Whalan - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Mark Whalan argues that World War One''s major impact on US culture was not the experience of combat trauma, but rather the effects of the expanded federal state bequeathed by US mobilization. Writers bristled at the state''s new intrusions and coercions, but were also intrigued by its creation of new social ties and political identities. This excitement informed early American modernism, whose literary experiments often engaged the political innovations of the Progressive state at war. Writers such as Wallace Stevens, John Dos Passos, Willa Cather, Zane Grey, and Edith Wharton were fascinated by wartime discussions over the nature of US citizenship, and also crafted new forms of writing that could represent a state now so complex it seemed to defy representation at all. And many looked to ordinary activities transformed by the war - such as sending mail, receiving healthcare, or driving a car - to explore the state''s everyday presence in American lives.

Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy - John Keown - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy - John Keown - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book argues against the legalisation of voluntary euthanasia and/or physician-assisted suicide on the ground that, even if they were ethically defensible in certain ''hard cases'', neither could be effectively controlled by law. It maintains that the experience of legalisation in the Netherlands, Belgium and Oregon lends support to the two ''slippery slope'' arguments against legalisation, the ''empirical'' and the ''logical''. The empirical argument challenges the feasibility of drafting and enforcing adequate safeguards against abuse and mistake; the logical argument shows that acceptance of the case for euthanasia in the case of suffering patients who request it logically involves acceptance of euthanasia for suffering patients who are unable to request it, such as infants and those with advanced dementia.

Three Frontiers - Dean L. May - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Three Frontiers - Dean L. May - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the values and aspirations of early settlers in the American Far West. It compares those who settled in the Willamette Valley in the 1840s, the Utah Valley in the 1850s, and the Boise Valley in the 1860s. The Oregon and Utah settlers tried with differing degrees of success to resist the modernizing trends represented by Idaho, but ultimately adopted their individualistic, commercial, and acquisitive values. How did Americans move away from a culture centering on family and kin and from attitudes that valued and protected the land, not for its commercial worth, but as the base of support for future generations? What led to the present tendency to pursue individual pleasure and material well-being at the expense of communal and broader societal well-being? These two questions are central to this comparative study of the three groups who pioneered the Western frontier.
