SUBATOMIC PHYSICS
Third Edition
by Ernest M Henley & Alejandro Garcia (University of
Washington, USA)
640pp
978-981-270-057-5(pbk) : US$73 / £41 US$51.10
/ £28.70
978-981-270-056-8 : US$121 / £71 US$84.70
/ £49.70
"Henley and García's presentation and
style hold the reader's attention right from the start. The treatment
is at just the right level to whet the reader's appetite, slake their
thirst for understanding and assess the current 'state of the art' ..
this is a highly enlightening and up-to-date text, rather ambitious in
its scope but successful in its aim to provide a comprehensive and
comprehensible pedagogic overview of an exciting field of physics"
-- Contemporary Physics
This is the third and fully updated edition of the classic
textbook on physics at the subatomic level. An up-to-date and lucid
introduction to both particle and nuclear physics, the book is suitable
for both experimental and theoretical physics students at the senior
undergraduate and beginning graduate levels.

AT THE LEADING EDGE
The ATLAS and CMS LHC Experiments
edited by Dan Green (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory,
USA)
448pp
978-981-4304-67-2(pbk): US$58 / £38 US$40.60
/ £26.60
978-981-4277-61-7: US$120 / £79 US$84 /
£55.30
"This book follows a new concept,
which makes it unique and interesting to read … The actual
technological choices made by the collaborations to address the physics
at the LHC are outlined by subsequent well-written and illustrated
contributions from 22 prominent scientists, engineers, experts and
leaders responsible for the detector subsystems of ATLAS and CMS. The
book contributes in an impressive way towards understanding the
motivation behind specific choices, and towards learning about the
risks and the courage required to tackle necessary technological
developments … this book should be on the shelf of all friends of the
LHC. It represents a nicely balanced record of the historical
developments, technical challenges and scientific background, and
packed with photos of the LHC machine and its two major general-purpose
detectors, ATLAS and CMS, taken during construction and assembly."

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE
Volume I: Single-Particle Motion
Volume II: Nuclear Deformations
by Aage Bohr (University of Copenhagen) & Ben R
Mottelson (Nordita, Copenhagen)
1256pp
978-981-02-3197-2: US$175 / £121 US$122.50
/ £84.70
These volumes present the basic features of nuclear structure
in terms of an integration of collective and independent particle
aspects and remain a foundation for current efforts in the field.
Central to the book’s value is an approach that recognizes the many
connections between concepts of nuclear physics and those of other
many-body systems, and that deals boldly with the interplay between
theory and experiment. Aside from the main text, which provides a
systematic exposition of the subject, there are sections labeled
“Illustrative Examples”, which present detailed analyses of
experimental results and the manner in which they illuminate the
concepts developed in the text.
Contents:
Volume I: Symmetries and Conservation
Laws; Independent-Particle Motion; Single-Particle Configurations;
Volume II: Rotational Spectra; One-Particle Motion in Nonspherical
Nuclei; Vibrational Spectra.

PERSPECTIVES ON LHC
PHYSICS
edited by Gordon Kane (University of Michigan, USA)
& Aaron Pierce (University of Michigan, USA)
352pp
978-981-277-975-5: US$99 / £55 US$69.30
/ £38.50

"...is a timely, heterogeneous
offering, with some interesting gems and informative parts … there
should be sections of it to interest most readers in the physical
sciences." -- CERN Courier
This book provides an overview on the techniques that will
be crucial for finding new physics at the LHC, as well as perspectives
on the importance and implications of the discoveries. Among the
accomplished contributors to this book are leaders and visionaries in
the field of particle physics beyond the Standard Model, including two
Nobel Laureates (Steven Weinberg and Frank Wilczek).
