Dear All,

If anyone is thinking of a new textbook for their course, these guys seem
quite keen to send out inspection copies.

Best regards,

Alison

Dear Dr Yao,

Further to our conversation this morning, I list below details of
textbooks, which we have brought out.

Please let me know if you or your colleagues want inspection copies or
further info.

Best wishes,

Pantaneto Introductory Physics Series:

1) The Nuts and Bolts of Quantum Mechanics A Gentle Introduction for
Undergraduates by Dennis Morris
This book is a slow paced introduction to quantum mechanics for
undergraduates and interested laypersons. The presentation is bothreader
friendly and complete. 406 pages.ISBN 978-0992636883

2) Introductory Solid State Physics From the Material Properties of
Solids to Nanotechnologies by David Schmool
Introductory Solid State Physics provides a broad introduction to some
of the principal areas of the physical phenomena in solid materials and
is aimed broadly at undergraduate students of physics and engineering
related subjects. 628 pages.
ISBN 978-0992636869

3) Basic Electromagnetic Theory Field Theory Foundations and Structure
by James Babington
Basic Electromagnetic Theory is designed as a concise introduction to
electromagnetic field theory emphasizing the physical foundations of the
subject. It is aimed at an undergraduate readership, primarily physics
students. 186 pages.
ISBN 978-0992636845

4) Computational Physics An Undergraduate's Guide by Darren Walker
This book is designed to provide the reader with a grounding in
scientific programming. It contains many exercises developed in the
context of physics problems, and several examples of working programs to
provide a solid basis on which to build.
371 pages.ISBN 978-0992636807

5) Newtonian Mechanics A Modelling Approach by Derek Raine
Newtonian mechanics is taught as part of every physics program for
several reasons. It is a towering intellectual achievement; it has
diverse applications; and it provides a context for teaching modelling
and problem solving. This text gives equal prominence to all three
missions.
288 pages. ISBN 978-0992636821

6) Finding Your Way in the Undergraduate Physics Laboratory by Matthew
French
This new book aims to guide both the experimentalist and theoretician
through their compulsory laboratory course forming part of an
undergraduate physics degree.
280 pages. ISBN 978-0954978082

7) Empty Space is Amazing Stuff The Special Theory of Relativity and The
Nature of Space by Dennis Morris
This book concentrates on presenting the theory of special relativity as
the geometry of space-time. The presentation is straightforward,
complete and reader-friendly, with explanatory asides, which give
historical context and links with other branches of physics and
mathematics.
314 pages.ISBN 978-0954978075
