"--Brian Greene, Columbia University "This book includes material that is intellectually innovative and comes as a surprise even to specialists in the field.

This book is a concise introduction to quantum computation, developing the basic elements of this new branch of computational theory without assuming any background in physics.

This book provides an introduction to the field of solid state physics for undergraduate students in physics, chemistry, engineering, and materials science.

This book will appeal to physicists at all levels, to mathematicians, scientists and engineers, and indeed to anyone who enjoys reading non-technical accounts of new ways of looking at modern science.

A collection of offbeat, entertaining and primarily nontechnical essays on physics and those who practice it, from eminent theoretical physicist N. David Mermin.

In working with the principle of relativity the termframe of referenceis extremelyuseful.

Física do estado sólido é a tradução da obra de Ashcroft e Mermin, consagrada referência na introdução ao estudo do s sólidos para diversos cursos de Exatas.

Ouvrage de référence, il précise les aspects les plus traditionnels de la physique des solides et associe pédagogie, rigueur et homogénéité malgré la grande variété des domaines traités.
