US: CRC Press, 2021. Hardcover. Like New. This book presents a study of phase field modelling of solidification in me tal alloy systems. It is divided in two main themes. The first half discuss es several classes of quantitative multi-order parameter phase field models for multi-component alloy solidification. These are derived in grand poten tial ensemble, thus tracking solidification in alloys through the evolution of the chemical potentials of solute species rather than the more commonly used solute concentrations. The use of matched asymptotic analysis for mak ing phase field models quantitative is also discussed at length, and derive d in detail in order to make this somewhat abstract topic accessible to stu dents. The second half of the book studies the application of phase field m odelling to rapid solidification where solute trapping and interface underc ooling follow highly non-equilibrium conditions. In this limit, matched asy mptotic analysis is used to map phase field evolution equations… Read More

US: Bramble Books, 1993. Very Good. This book rests on the simple but profound truth: the way the Universe work s contains important lessons in how the human mind functions. Dr. Wolinsky applies the lessons of modern physics to psychology in an original, practic al, and thrilling way. Physicists today are seeking to discover a TOE - a T hoery of Everything. Has Wolinsky discovered a POE - a Psychology of Everyt hing? This book drags psychology, kicking and screaming perhaps, into twent ieth-century science - a development which could reinvigorate the entire fi eld of psychology. This book is a wake-up call to all disciplines, includin g medicine, that deal with human beings and their problems. It shows that w e cannot sit on the sidelines of twentieth-century physics and ignore this body of knowledge because its implications are simply too profound, too ric h, and too important for human welfare to be overlooked. - Larry Dossey.
