This is my account of what befell Ebenezer Scrooge, professor at Miskatonic University, on Christmas Eve 1927. Some would call it madness, others a flight of fancy. The University would seek to have this journal confiscated, to have all rumour regarding Ebenezer Scrooge's disappearance silenced. Regardless, let this story act as a warning to those who would dabble in the matters of the Elder Things. The Great Cthulhu is listening. Should you ever be visited, as Old Scrooge was, on Christmas night, only you can prevent His rising. Take heed... An affectionate parody of Charles Dicken's Christmas classic, by author and playwright David Griffiths. Featuring a bonus Dickens' Christmas parody, 'The Haunted Man and The Reanimator's Bargain', and a glossary for those unfamiliar with the Cthulhu Mythos.

In this updated edition of Griffiths' textbook on electricity and magnetism, expanded discussions cover field lines, crystal ambiguity, eddy currents, and the Thomson kink model. It includes new examples, problems, and computational techniques, with redrawn figures and updated references to recent research, enhancing understanding of contemporary physics.

In the second, revised edition of a well-established textbook, the author strikes a balance between quantitative rigor and intuitive understanding, using a lively, informal style. The first chapter provides a detailed historical introduction to the subject, while subsequent chapters offer a quantitative presentation of the Standard Model. A simplified introduction to the Feynman rules, based on a „toy“ model, helps readers learn the calculational techniques without the complications of spin. It is followed by accessible treatments of quantum electrodynamics, the strong and weak interactions, and gauge theories. New chapters address neutrino oscillations and prospects for physics beyond the Standard Model. The book contains a number of worked examples and many end-of-chapter problems. A complete solution manual is available for instructors.

For one-semester/-year, junior-/senior-level courses in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Chemistry. This text first teaches students how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. Two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications.

This book provides a range of ready-to-use materials and practical guidance for teachers who are looking for ways to make their language teaching less detached, and more centred on the individual learner.
