This book explains the natural mechanisms behind unexplained events like spiritual beings, other dimensions, miracles in the Bible-and even UFOs. Are these phenomena real? Are they scientifically sound? Do they obey the laws of physics-like anything else...

Did you know that your ears are one of a kind? They don't look like any of the animals you know. They also don't function like any other living thing. In this book, your child is going to learn what makes the ears special in its ability to catch sound...

The majority of the "memorable" results of relativistic quantum theory were obtained within the framework of the local quantum field approach. The explanation of the basic principles of the local theory and its mathematical...

There are areas of science that are off limits to the public and are not taught in our universities. The science and technology of anti-gravity and extracting energy from space itself was developed in the late 19th and early 20th century by scientists...

Since the first edition of this book was published in 1987, there have been several important changes in the state of numerical field computation, as discussed in the Introduction. These changes have motivated the publication...

The field of shock compression science has a long and rich history involving contributions of mathematicians, physicists and engineers over approximately two hundred years. The middle of the nineteenth century was an especially...

This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the theory of sound propagation in the ocean. The text treats both ray and wave propagation and pays considerable attention to stochastic problems such as the scattering of sound...

Ever since its invention in 1929 the Dirac equation has played a fundamental role in various areas of modern physics and mathematics. Its applications are so widespread that a description of all aspects cannot be done with...

What if I told you that the symbolism we see is actually rooted in truth? Imagine for a moment that you now have the ability to understand what is taught in the ancient schools of mysticism? That I can show you how everything in the entire Universe...

This book presents a phenomenological theory of multimode surface wave excitation, propagation, and diffraction in plane structures. It covers the key concepts and mathematical models that are essential for understanding this complex phenomenon...

This classic text from 1970 provides a detailed analysis of the behavior of electromagnetic waves at step discontinuities in waveguides, with applications to microwave engineering, radar and communications. The author introduces new techniques for...

Filling the gap between the mathematical literature and applications to domains, the authors have chosen to address the problem of wave collapse by several methods ranging from rigorous mathematical analysis to formal aymptotic...

A history of acoustics from the 19th century to the present, written by one of the pre-eminent members of the acoustical community. The book is both a review of the major scientific advances in acoustics as well as an account...

Humans have always been fascinated by marine life, from extremely small diatoms to the largest mammal that inhabits our planet, the blue whale. However, studying marine life in the ocean is an extremely difficult propo- tion...
