FASiSO group released “hidden object” game: Mortimer Beckett And The Time Paradox.

Description: Although Mortimer was able to get rid of the ghosts in Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor, his Uncle Jerome’s home is now host to another ominous challenge – a time portal Even worse, the time bomb that Jerome built to close to the portal has been scattered across eight different eras. Join Mortimer for a wild trip through time to find the scattered time bomb, put it back together, and close the portal before its too late Featuring challenging hidden object fun, an in-game tutorial, and more puzzles than ever, Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox is another great adventure for all ages.

Features:

* Eight different eras to explore
* Stirring storyline
* Hours of hidden object fun
* Extra puzzles and mini games
* Includes an in-game tutorial

Has Stephen Hawking been wrong for the last 30 years?

The final two chapters are devoted to the most fascinating applications of geometry and topology in contemporary physics, namely the study of anomalies in gauge field theories and the analysis of Polakov's bosonic string theory from the geometrical point of view. Geometry, Topology and Physics, Second Edition is an ideal introduction to differential geometry and topology for postgraduate students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics.

An accessible introduction to nuclear and particle physics with equal coverage of both topics, this text covers all the standard topics in particle and nuclear physics thoroughly and provides a few extras, including chapters on experimental methods; applications of nuclear physics including fission, fusion and biomedical applications; and unsolved problems for the future. It includes basic concepts and theory combined with current and future applications. An excellent resource for physics and astronomy undergraduates in higher-level courses, this text also serves well as a general reference for graduate studies.

Physics without math is written at a mathematical level that a bright 11 year old could understand. The subject matter is in enough debth that even students that have taken college physics before will gain new insights. Shapiro has a gift for showing the big picture where you really do follow the thought process. Most importantly however, if the book was dull, you would not read it even if it was very educational. This book is the one that I have been reading at night for fun. Now when I find that a book ends up on the bedside stand, and next to me while cooking, and at the table at meals...that book needs a positive review. Get this book, then after this one if you havent already read it get Hewett conceptual physics. If you enjoy reading science, then this book is for you.

Physics Workbook for Dummies gets the ball rolling with a brief overview of the nuts and bolts (i.e., converting measures, counting significant figures, applying math skills to physics problems, etc.) before getting into the nitty gritty. If you?re already a pro on the fundamentals, you can skip this section and jump right into the practice problems. There, you?ll get the lowdown on how to take your problem-solving skills to a whole new plane?without ever feeling like you?ve been left spiraling down a black hole.

Preface
The American Institute of Physics Handbook has won wide acceptance
among scientists and engineers. It is just such a degree of acceptance
that has stimulated the issuance of this revised and updated third edition.
This edition, like the previous two, continues the philosophy of supplying
authoritative reference material-including tables of data, graphs

Filling the need for a book that conveys the current technology as well as the underlying history and physical background, this book tells physicists and engineers how to measure time to the precision required for modern-day use. The authors draw on their longstanding research experience with timekeeping and high-precision measurement to cover the use of satellites in measuring earth movement variation and the influence of the moon, while also dwelling on such topics as timekeeping aboard satellites and time transfer.

Only the most intense science geeks have ever considered physics entertaining, but the Standard Deviants, undaunted as ever, do their best to make serious science fun to watch, and therefore memorable, in this two-hour presentation. Utilizing flashy graphics that make the perennial example of Newton being struck with an apple appear positively quaint, the troupe of exuberant young performers starts off by quickly providing the obligatory "what is physics" intro, and then moves into a fast tutorial on scientific notation. With the basics out of the way, it's time for segments illustrating scalars and vectors, which, in the format followed throughout the DVD, are followed by a review section and a quiz, which the student can either take or skip. More advanced concepts, including one-dimensional kinematics, two-dimensional kinematics, Newton's Laws of Motion, and friction all follow. Physics may not lend itself to the kind of madcap delivery the Standard Deviants have brought to other subjects, but the graphics employed are often brilliant, and the individual lessons are concise and easy to understand. The material has all been approved by an academic panel, and while this presentation is not intended to be a substitute for a course in physics, as a review guide this stands as a solid treatment of a serious subject, made as entertaining as possible. --Robert J.
