Transformation from Colonial Chemist to Global Health and Beauty Retailer A S Watson Patrick Chiu
Endorsement “In this highly readable and lavishly illustrated book, Patrick Chiu makes an important contribution to the history of pharmacy in Asia and the legacy of European colonialism. AS Watson had its origins in the founding of the Hong Kong Dispensary in 1843 following the First Opium War. By 1900 it was the largest supplier of opium substitutes in the Far East, and operated over 100 stores in China and the Philippines. This book records the firm’s high and lows in an often turbulent political and economic environment, from its beginnings to the twenty-first century. It will be of interest not only to pharmacy and business historians but also to all those interested in the history of Hong Kong and China.” Stuart Anderson, BSc, MA, PhD, FRPharmS Emeritus Professor of Pharmacy History, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine President, International Academy for the History of Pharmacy (2009–2017) President, British Society for the History of Pharmacy ( 2002–2005) Chair, Society for the Social History of Medicine (2001–2005) Author, Pharmacy and Professionalization in the British Empire, 1780–1970 (2021)

his book and the man technical papers associated with it provide the first detailed path to uture propulsion which will enable humanit to finall break the bonds o our solar s stem
Description In this book Professor Lubin lays out the fundamental physics and mathematics required to radically alter our capabilities in propulsion to enable extreme highspeed space flight both in our solar system and beyond. he case is made that the onl currentl viable solution to enable this trans ormation, including relativistic ight or the first interstellar robotic missions, is using large scale directed energ . raditional methods o propulsion are not capable o achieving the speed re uired or these missions, including ast crewed missions to ars as well as the man robotic missions desired both in our solar s stem and to the nearest stars. Humanit has now reached a technological tipping point with the abilit to pro ect power over vast distances with trans ormational implications in a wide variet o areas, rom propulsion to beaming power throughout our solar s stem to planetar de ence. n a series o over 60 technical papers, the undamentals o this trans ormation are outlined and s nthesi ed in this book, allowing a detailed understanding o the man challenges ahead and a roadmap or human e ploration ar be ond our solar s stem. While the road ahead is long and challenging, it provides the path to radicall alter humanit s uture.

Superinsulators, Bose Metals and HighTc Superconductors The Quantum Physics of Emergent Magnetic Monopoles Carlo A Trugenberger
SwissScientific Technologies SA, Switzerland
Key Features • • •
here e ists no other book on emergent magnetic monopoles in the market his book is the first about an e perimentall confirmed new phase o ma er superinsulators his book contains an innovative model o high superconductivit , the biggest unsolved m ster o condensed ma er ph sics
Description In 1931 Dirac showed that topologically quantized single magnetic charges, magnetic monopoles, while classically forbidden in a gauge theory, are allowed alongside electric charges in a quantum theory of electromagnetism. Such topological magnetic e citations are indeed admi ed in the spectrum o most grand unified field theories o elementar interactions. espite 40 ears o dedicated search e orts, nonetheless, the have never shown up in an e periment. his, however, does not preclude the possibilit o topological magnetic monopoles being reali ed as e citations in emergent condensed ma er states, where the would be much lighter and easier to create. his book is about the ph sical e ects o such emergent magnetic monopoles. hese range rom a new mechanism or local, strong pairing o electrons possibl relevant or high superconductivit , to the ormation o a new uantum phase o ma er when monopoles condense. n such a condensate the electric interaction becomes e tremel strong, so much so that onl e tended neutral states survive, with the conse uence o an infinite resistance, even at finite temperatures. his state, called a superinsulator, is a dual superconductor and has been e perimentall detected in various materials. n a superinsulator the electric interaction becomes analogous to the strong interaction holding uarks together in colour neutral hadrons. Even more interesting is the case when the condensate carries both magnetic and electric charge. he ensuing state has properties that are strikingl reminiscent o the m sterious pseudogap state o high superconductors. agnetic monopoles might thus have been hiding in plain sight where no one was looking or them or a long time.
Author Carlo A Trugenberger earned his Ph in heoretical Ph sics in 988 at the Swiss ederal nstitute o echnolog , rich. n international academic career in theoretical ph sics ( , Los lamos ational Laborator , CE Geneva, a Planck nstitut nich) led him to the position o senior lecturer at Geneva Universit . n 200 he decided to uit academia to ound his first artificial intelligence ( ) compan . he so ware he designed won international benchmarks and awards and was the first to discover biomarkers based e clusivel on machine learning. He since ounded a second compan dedicated to completel automatic trading with no human intervention. He continues his research in theoretical condensed ma er ph sics and uantum gravit . He proposed superinsulation and ose metals as new states o ma er, proposals later verified e perimentall . He also introduced a new approach to uantum gravit based on combinatorial curvature measures in networks. He is currentl CS o n oCode Semantic echnologies G and CE o SwissScientific echnologies S .

irst book about possible violations o the Einstein s E uivalence Principle, which is considered as one o the best established laws in ph sics
Description An equality between inertial and gravitational masses was established by Galileo Galilei more than 400 years ago and was accepted by Albert Einstein as a key point of his theory of gravitation — General Relativity. he above mentioned e ualit is called the E uivalence Principle. n this pioneering book, some unusual situations are described, where the E uivalence Principle is theoreticall broken, and the possible e periments, where such breakdowns can be observed, are discussed in a brie . t is known that, in standard situations, the E uivalence Principle is e tremel well established on Earth and in space in numerous e periments, including e periments during the recent space mission C SC PE. here ore, this book suggests a real breakthrough in the be er understanding o Einstein s gravitational theor and its relation to uantum mechanics, which is a definite step towards the so called heor o Ever thing . his book is recommended or all readers who are interested in gravitation and General elativit .
Editor Andrei G Lebed is currentl a Pro essor o Ph sics at the Universit o ri ona. He is a ellow o merican Ph sical Societ or his theoretical outstanding contributions to ph sics o organic superconductors . n particular, he is known or the so called Lebed agic ngles and ield nduced Spin ensit Wave phase diagrams. n the area o superconductivit , he has suggested phenomenon o the eentrant Superconductivit (i.e. restoration o superconductivit in high magnetic fields). n the area o General elativit , Lebed is amous or his theoretical suggestion o the Gravitational demon , which breaks Einstein s E uivalence Principle at a macroscopic level, and or demonstration that this principle is also broken or microscopic measurements due to uantum e ects. He is the sole editor o the comprehensive book Ph sics o rganic Superconductors and Conductors (Springer, 2008).
