Product Description
This book is an introduction to the methods of theoretical physics for students who have had intermediate college courses in physical mechanics and electricity as well as advanced calculus and elementary partial differential equations. It emphasizes clear definition and development of physical concepts and analysis of methods, rather than detailed factual content of theoretical physics.

After a brief introduction on the logical structure of theoretical physics, the book is divided into two main starts: particle physics and field physics. In the first part the logical development proceeds from the single particle to collections of particles and then to the statistical methods, with thermodynamics treated as a deduction from physical statistics. This part closes with a brief survey of the principles of quantum mechanics. Part II discusses the application of the field concept to both material media (deformable solids and fluids) and nonmaterial media (electromagnetic fields), with more stress on wave propagation than is usual in theoretical physics texts. The book closes with a treatment of classical electron theory and special relativity. ... Read more

Product Description
This work investigates the evolution of urban design in the Andes of South America to ascertain if there existed in pre-Hispanic times a shared Andean tradition of urban planning. Since, in previous research, Andean urban planning has been treated as the product of individual sites or cultures, this study explores the repeated use of design elements within Andean urban planning, in order to isolate specific elements for individual functional analysis within the context of a cultural tradition. The primary focus is to demonstrate clearly the urban design connection that forms a coherent Andean urban planning tradition shared between the urban civilizations of the Andes from the inception of urbanism around the beginning of the third millennium BC until the cultural disruption of the Spanish conquest in the mid-sixteenth century AD. Through the investigation and understanding of the evolving sophistication of the cultures within the Andes cultural, political and geographical region, the study demonstrates that certain ideas of urban design, from very early times, began to form a coherent planning tradition that was shared by civilizations, cultures and settlements in close and distant contact. Moreover, these ideas for architectural designs and layouts for urban areas were not only shared geographically but also repeated through time. ... Read more
