The second chapter-especially when you include all the exercises at the end of the chapter-is an essential reference for one-dimensional quantum mechanics, a topic that's growing in relevance with increasing experimental capacity to engineer effectively one-dimensional systems such as solid state quantum wires or tight optical waveguides for ultracold atoms.

I've taught the second edition several times and found that the impedance matching between the content and previous student knowledge allows clear signal transmission. I would argue that if you want to teach a waves-first course, there is no better starting place than the first two chapters of the book, lightly revised and improved from the previous edition. I don't have the 3rd Edition textbook but the 2nd Edition is widely available online, so I assume. The Griffiths and Schroeter (G&S) text falls squarely in the waves-first camp.

This series truly is my favorite fantasy series of all time. There are very, very few books that I love so wholeheartedly. Goddamn, can Leigh Bardugo write romance. Here, Bardugo integrates a creative plot, interesting and morally grey characters, group dynamics and banter, a great writing style, and some really, really prime romance plots.

Throughout Russell weighs various theories about her (from her actual year of birth, to whether or not she and Culpeper consummated their relationship), then uses multiple pieces of historical evidence to show the weaknesses of each and advances what he considers the most likely theory from the available evidence. Portrayed by contemporary and modern writers as a vixen, temptress, whore, idiot, pawn, simpleton, innocent and thought of as empty-headed, frivolous, lewd, lascivious, faithless, deceptive, ignorant, only in Gareth Russell's extremely engaging and readable biography do we finally achieve a comprehensive picture of the elusive fifth consort of Henry. ![]() Of the six wives of Henry VIII, Catherine Howard is usually the least enviable and least admired of the lot. ![]() ![]() The book discusses what its authors see as an unwillingness by college students to engage in ideas with which they disagree.Īnd while some of the blame in the book goes to students and academic leaders, much of it is placed on parents and society that the authors argue are not preparing students for challenges to their ideas and challenges in life.

In his book, Mann argues that Columbus paved the way to the homogenocene, a particular feature of the anthropocene that is marked by a global homogenization of (agricultural) species, diseases, and tools brought about by the migration and transport that set in with the discovery of the new world.
