Second Edition Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA

This text presents the conceptual and technical developments of the subject without compromising on the historical or logical perspective. It also covers the tremendous range of scientifically deep and technologically revolutionary applications of thermodynamics. The text explains how thermodynamics evolved from a few basic laws that were amazingly successful and with tremendous range, without even knowing about the atomic structure of matter or the laws governing the behavior of atoms. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

A thorough study of the oscillatory and transient motion of mechanical and structural systems, this text presents vibrations from a unified point of view and builds on the first edition with additional chapters and sections that contain more advanced, graduate-level topics. Using numerous examples and case studies, the author reviews basic principles, incorporates advanced abstract concepts from first principles, and weaves together physical interpretation and fundamental principles with applied problem solving. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Applied & Industrial Physics Audio Effects Theory, Implementation and Application Joshua D. Reiss and Andrew P. McPherson Queen Mary University of London, UK

This book explores digital audio effects relevant to audio signal processing and music informatics. It supplies fundamental background information on digital signal processing, focusing on audio-specific aspects. The text integrates theory and practice, relating technical implementation to musical implications. It can be used to gain an understanding of the operation of existing audio effects or to create new ones. Accompanying source code is provided in C/C++ and implemented as audio effect plug-ins. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781466560284 Print ISBN: 978-1-4665-6028-4 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4665-6029-1 October 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 367 pp.

Introductory Semiconductor Device Physics Greg Parker University of Southampton, UK

This popular text begins with a review of basic solid state physics, then describes the properties of semiconductors in more detail, and examines the operation principles of the Gunn diode and p-n junction. The remaining chapters focus on specific devices, including the LED, bipolar transistor, field-effect transistor, and semiconductor laser. The book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum theory. The treatment is not overly mathematical and emphasizes only the required physical concepts. Each chapter contains a set of worked problems. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780750310215 Print ISBN: 978-0-7503-1021-5 September 2004, 6-1/4 x 9-1/4, 302 pp., Soft Cover Suggested Price: $49.95 / ÂŁ33.99
