A fresh look at electricity and its powerful role in

life on Earth

Spark
Electricity is more than an external source of power, heat,
or illumination. Life at its essence is nothing if not electri-
cal. The story of how we came to understand electricity’s
essential role in all life is rooted in our observations of its
influences on the body—influences governed by the body’s
central nervous system. Timothy Jorgensen shows how our
views of electricity and the nervous system evolved in tan-
dem, and how progress in one area enabled advancements
in the other. Filled with gripping adventures in scientific
exploration, Spark offers an indispensable look at electrici-
ty, how it works, and how it animates our lives from within
and without.

From the Nobel Prize–winning physicist, a personal

meditation on the quest for objective reality in natural
science

The Whole Truth

A century ago, thoughtful people questioned how reality
could agree with physical theories that keep changing,
from a mechanical model of the ether to electric and
magnetic fields, and from homogeneous matter to
electrons and atoms. Today, concepts like dark matter and
dark energy further complicate and enrich the search for
objective reality. The Whole Truth is a personal reflection on
this ongoing quest by one of the world’s most esteemed
cosmologists. A landmark work, The Whole Truth is essen-
tial reading for anyone interested in the practice of science.

 MODERN CLASSICAL PHYSICS

Modern Classical Physics

This first-year graduate-level text and reference book covers the
fundamental concepts and twenty-first-century applications of six
major areas of classical physics: statistical physics, optics (waves
of all sorts), elastodynamics, fluid mechanics, plasma physics, and
special and general relativity and cosmology.

Statistical Physics
Statistical Physics is an essential introduction that is different from
others on the subject because of its unique approach, which is
coordinate-independent and geometric; embraces and elucidates
the close quantum-classical connection and the relativistic and
Newtonian domains; and demonstrates the power of statistical
techniques by presenting applications not only to the usual kinds
of things, but also to a much wider range of phenomena, including
black holes and the universe.

Optics
“Optics” originally referred to the study of light, but today the field
encompasses all types of waves. The past few decades have seen
revolutions in optics—advances in nonlinear optics technology, a
growing understanding of optical phenomena throughout the nat-
ural world, and an appreciation of the wide-ranging applicability of
optics’ central principles. Optics shows how and why this subject—
which was once a standard part of physics curricula—should again
be routinely taught to physics students, as well as to students in
engineering, computer science, and the natural sciences.

MODERN CLASSICAL PHYSICS

Elasticity and Fluid Dynamics

Fluids and elastic solids are everywhere—from Earth’s crust to
airplanes. They are central to modern physics, astrophysics, the
Earth sciences, biophysics, medicine, chemistry, engineering,
and technology, and this centrality has intensified in recent years.
While both elasticity and fluid dynamics involve continuum physics
and use similar mathematical tools and modes of reasoning, each
subject can be readily understood without the other, and the book
allows them to be taught independently.

Plasma Physics
Plasma Physics provides an essential introduction to the subject.
Plasmas play a major role in many contemporary applications,
phenomena, and fields, including attempts to achieve controlled
thermonuclear fusion using magnetic or inertial confinement; in
explanations of radio wave propagation in the ionosphere and the
behavior of the solar corona and wind; and in astrophysics, where
plasmas are responsible for emission throughout the electromag-
netic spectrum.

Relativity and Cosmology

Relativity and Cosmology is an essential introduction to the subject,
including remarkable recent advances. Written by award-winning
physicists who have made fundamental contributions to the field
and taught it for decades, the book differs from most others on the
subject in important ways. While the book is designed to be used
for a one-quarter or full-semester course, it goes deep enough to
provide a foundation for understanding and participating in some
areas of cutting-edge research.

A modern approach to classical electromagnetism

Advanced Classical
Electromagnetism
Robert Wald provides graduate students with a clear,
concise, and mathematically precise introduction to elec-
tromagnetism. Wald begins with Maxwell’s equations—the
foundation of electromagnetism—together with the
formulas for the energy density, momentum density, and
stress tensor of the electromagnetic field. He then pro-
ceeds through all the major topics in classical electromag-
netism, such as electrostatics, dielectrics, magnetostatics,
electrodynamics and radiation, diffraction, and special
relativity. The last two chapters discuss electromagnetism
as a gauge theory and the notion of a point charge.

Robert M. Wald is the Charles H. Swift Distinguished

Service Professor in the Department of Physics and the
Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago.

What Is Dark Matter?

We cannot actually see dark matter. But we know dark matter is
present by observing its ghostly gravitational effects on the behavior
and evolution of galaxies. Peter Fisher brings readers quickly up
to speed regarding the current state of the dark matter problem,
offering relevant historical context as well as a close look at the cut-
ting-edge research focused on revealing dark matter’s true nature.

Peter Fisher is the Thomas A. Frank (1977) Professor of Physics

and serves as head of the Physics Department at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.

How Do You Find an Exoplanet?

With planet hunters finding ever smaller, more Earth-like worlds,
our understanding of the cosmos is forever changed, yet the
question of how astronomers make these discoveries often goes
unanswered. Accessible to anyone with a basic foundation in
college-level physics, How Do You Find an Exoplanet? sheds new
light on the prospect of finding life outside our solar system,
how surprising new observations suggest that we may not fully
understand how planets form, and much more.

How Did the First Stars

and Galaxies Form?
Though astrophysicists have developed a theoretical framework for
understanding how the first stars and galaxies formed, only now
are we able to begin testing those theories with observations of the
very distant, early universe. This book couldn’t be more timely. It
covers the basic concepts in cosmology, drawing on insights from
an astronomer who has pioneered much of this research.

What Does a Black Hole Look Like?

Black holes mark the edge of the universe—both physically and in
our scientific understanding. Charles Bailyn goes behind the theory
and physics of black holes to describe how astronomers are observ-
ing these enigmatic objects and developing a detailed picture of
what they look like and how they interact with their surroundings.
An introduction to a subject that was once on the border between
physics and science fiction, this book shows how black holes are
becoming routine objects of empirical scientific study.

The essential introduction to magnetic reconnection—

written by a leading pioneer of the field

Magnetic Reconnection
Plasmas comprise more than 99 percent of the visible
universe; and, wherever plasmas are, magnetic reconnec-
tion occurs. In this common yet incompletely understood
physical process, oppositely directed magnetic fields in a
plasma meet, break, and then reconnect, converting the
huge amounts of energy stored in magnetic fields into
kinetic and thermal energy. In Magnetic Reconnection,
Masaaki Yamada offers an illuminating synthesis of
modern research and advances on this important topic.
Magnetic reconnection produces such phenomena as
solar flares and the northern lights, and occurs in nuclear
fusion devices. A better understanding of this crucial
cosmic activity is essential to comprehending the universe
and varied technological applications, such as satellite
communications.

Most of our knowledge of magnetic reconnection comes

from theoretical and computational models and laboratory
experiments, but space missions launched in recent years
have added up-close observation and measurements to
researchers’ tools. Describing the fundamental physics
of magnetic reconnection, Yamada links the theory with
the latest results from laboratory experiments and space-
based observations, including the Magnetic Reconnection
Experiment (MRX) and the Magnetospheric Multiscale
(MMS) Mission. He concludes by considering out-
standing problems and laying out a road map for future
research.

Aimed at advanced graduate students and researchers

in plasma astrophysics, solar physics, and space physics,
Magnetic Reconnection provides cutting-edge information
on a vital area of scientific investigation.

Masaaki Yamada is Distinguished Laboratory Research

Fellow at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and
head of the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment.
