This 'bible' needs up-dating - - but is the foundation stone.......2007-07-11
This 'bible' in the world of Color needs up-dating - - but it is the foundation stone. If you are seriously in the color business, you will need this book on your bookshelf from time to time.
The "Color Science Bible".......2005-10-10
I bought this book for my studies in the M.S. Color Science program at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It is a very detailed and math-oriented view of many aspects related to color & color science. I've sometimes heard it referred to as the "Bible" of Color Science.
Bottom line is that it's a great reference book for detailed, mathemetical views of Color Science topics. It's not a very good book to read for general information or an overview on color science. I'd highly recommend "Principles of Color Technology" by Roy Berns as a good all-around 1st book on color science. Much easier and more enjoyable to read. The Wyszecki & Stiles is more of a reference book if you need the next level of detail after that.
Comment.......2005-08-13
The book is very complet, but a little difficult. It's the bible of colorimetry!!!
Worth the money.......2000-04-03
This book has a ton of useful information from lighing science to technical color computations. The book (bible) has allot of data charts that can be used for sample or comparision calculations. If you are involved in Optics, Lighting, Illumination, industrial, automotive or aerospace. Then you got to get his book!

Book Description
The scientific disciplines of hydrology and hydrogeology are expanding as the Earth's water is being recognized by governments and individuals as a shrinking resourceno entity can afford to take water for granted. At the present time, there is no single reference source for definitions.
The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology is a practical, comprehensive reference guide with complete definitions of terms in hydrogeology and other fields closely related to water practices. This concise reference not only defines terms and concepts, but also provides a clear explanation of key elements so that an in-depth understanding of processes may be obtained.
* With more than 2,000 entries, from "absolute permeability" to the "Z-R relationship", this dictionary features the most up-to-date vocabulary in hydrology and hydrogeology. This dictionary would be of use to practicing scientists and professionals in all the fields of water science.
* More than 340 graphs, tables and diagrams complement the entries in order to clarify terms, methods, or processes
* Essential reference for students, academics, consultants, and practitioners in hydrology, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, environmental law, and the government
Book Description
Statistical Physics I discusses the fundamentals of equilibrium statistical mechanics, focussing on basic physical aspects. No previous knowledge of thermodynamics or the molecular theory of gases is assumed. Illustrative examples based on simple materials and photon systems elucidate the central ideas and methods.

Good on stochastic processes.......2003-05-27
This text provides a good, readable introduction to Markov processes, including Fokker-Planck equations, from the standpoint of typical physical examples. A weakness is that (by only mentioning and not developing Ito calculus) the book does not make it clear to the reader that most stochastic processes are nonstationary. This is important: today, we are interested in far from equilibrium dynamics, much less so in dynamics near equilibrium where the fluctuation-dissipation theorem holds. On the other hand, the standard financial math texts (Baxter and Rennie, Steele, ...) do us no service in this direction either. The book goes beyond the older reference by Wax, which is still a very good introduction to Markov processes. In any case, no existing reference treats the general case of a space-time-dependent diffusion coefficient adequately, the case of most interest for the dynamics of financial markets. Now for details of the weak spots.
There are two mistakes on pages 65-68. The discussion is based on the sde dx=-R(x)dt+D(x,t)^1/2dB(t) where B(t) is a Wiener process. First, it is claimed that the random force D(x,t)^1/2dB is Gaussian with a white spectrum. In general, the random force is not even stationary unless D is independent of x. The unstated assumption is that the random force is always stationary, so that with R(x)
<0 there is an approach to equilibrium. When the diffusion coefficient depends on x (or more generally on (x,t)) then there is no approach to equilibrium for the case of unbounded x even with R
<0, as the lognormal model of standard finance theory so vividly shows. Second, even if an equilibrium solution of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation 'exists', it cannot be reached dynamically when the force is nonstationary. Again, the lognormal model illustrates this point. Arguments (typical in economics) that an equilibrium solution 'exists' are meaningless are useless if the dynamics can't approach that solution.
The best book on Statistical Mechanics.......2000-03-26
Statistical Mechanics (1&2) by Toda and Kubo is the best textbook on statistical mechanics I've read. This book has some material such as Linear response theory(in vol 2), ergotic problems(in vol 1) which is difficult to find in other ones. I like the way the author write in linear response part. It is beautiful.

Book Description
This text not only provides a thorough introduction to statistical physics and thermodynamics but also exhibits the universality of the chain of ideas that leads from the laws of microphysics to the macroscopic behaviour of matter. A wide range of applications teaches students how to make use of the concepts, and many exercises will help to deepen their understanding. Drawing on both quantum mechanics and classical physics, the book follows modern research in statistical physics.
Volume I discusses in detail the probabilistic description of quantum or classical systems, the Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions, the conservation laws, and the interpretation of entropy as missing information. Thermodynamics and electromagnetism in matter are dealt with, as well as applications to gases, both dilute and condensed, and to phase transitions.
This softcover edition accomodates the many requests to make this widely used and often cited classical text available again.

Interesting treatment from an information point of view.......2005-08-23
This is one of the earliest comprehensive treatment of Statistical Mechanics (SM) from the perspective of information. The presentation of the foundation of SM here is much clearer and unified compared to the standard understanding, due to the adoption of the maximum entropy principle (and the subjecive interpretation of probability).The issue of entropy and irreversibility also received interesting discussion here.
An earlier book that treats SM in the similar form is Amnon Katz' book "Principles of statistical mechanics ; the information theory approach".
Book Description
In den beliebten Lehrbüchern zur Theoretischen Physik von Torsten Fließbach werden zahlreiche Übungsaufgaben gestellt, aber keine Lösungen angegeben. Das vorliegende Buch bietet - auf vielfachen Wunsch von Lesern - Musterlösungen an, und zwar für die Gebiete Mechanik, Elektrodynamik, Quantenmechanik und Statistische Physik. Vor der Lektüre dieser Musterlösungen sollte die eigenständige Bearbeitung der jeweiligen Aufgaben liegen! Die Musterlösungen dienen dann zur Kontrolle der selbst erarbeiteten Lösung, und sie vertiefen das Verständnis durch eine ausführliche Diskussion. Etwa ein Drittel des Buchs besteht aus einem knappen Repetitorium des Stoffs zur Mechanik, Elektrodynamik, Quantenmechanik und Statistischen Physik. Dieser Repetitoriumsteil enthält die zentralen Aussagen und Formeln, die für die jeweils nachfolgenden Aufgaben benötigt werden. Das Repetitorium ist aber auch als Hilfe bei Prüfungsvorbereitungen gedacht.

Book Description
This is the first of two volumes presenting the theory of operator algebras with applications to quantum statistical mechanics. The authors' approach to the operator theory is to a large extent governed by the dictates of the physical applications. The book is self-contained and most proofs are presented in detail, which makes it a useful text for students with a knowledge of basic functional analysis. The introductory chapter surveys the history and justification of algebraic techniques in statistical physics and outlines the applications that have been made.
The second edition contains new and improved results. The principal changes include: A more comprehensive discussion of dissipative operators and analytic elements; the positive resolution of the question of whether maximal orthogonal probability measure on the state space of
C-algebra were automatically maximal along all the probability measures on the space.

Book Description
Statistische Mechanik ist eine deduktive Darstellung des Gleichgewichts basierend auf einer einzigen Hypothese - der Form der mikrokanonischen Dichtematrix. Auch die wichtigsten Elemente von Nichtgleichgewichtsphänomenen werden behandelt. Vorausgesetzt wird der Kurs Quantenmechanik (vom selben Autor erschienen als Quantenmechanik und Quantenmechanik für Fortgeschrittene). Zwischenrechnungen werden ausführlich und vollständig durchgeführt. Aufgaben am Kapitelende helfen beim Festigen des Stoffes. Über die Grundlagen hinaus wird versucht, die Breite und Vielfalt der Anwendungen der Statistischen Mechanik zu demonstrieren. Moderne Gebiete wie Renormierungsgruppentheorie, Perkolation, stochastische Bewegungsgleichungen und deren Anwendungen in der kritischen Dynamik werden besprochen. Für Studierende der Physik nach dem Vordiplom.
Die dritte überarbeitete Auflage besticht durch ihre stringente Darstellung und illustriert anschaulich die vielfältigen Anwendungen der statistischen Mechanik.

Book Description
Diese Abhandlung über die Theoretische Physik gliedert sich in eine abgerundete Einf¨uhrung und in eine Sammlung vertiefender Abschnitte. Beide Teile sind der Tradition folgend in Mechanik, Elektrodynamik, Quantenmechanik und Thermodynamik unterteilt. Die Physik als ein ständig wachsendes Wissensgebiet mit langer Tradition kann heutzutage nicht mehr umfassend dargestellt und studiert werden. Daher kommt es darauf an, wenigstens die gängigen Methoden vorzuführen. Zugleich wird versucht, die Gegenstände aufzunehmen, die nach allgemeinem Verständnis zur physikalischen Allgemeinbildung gehören.

WARNING: This book is not a toy. The contents of this book may be boring. There are no pictures inside. It does contain many three letter words that are easy to read. Much of it is silly. Extra good news: You do not have to read this book in order. In fact, you don't have to read it at all. But what if a teacher assigns it? See inside for details. Void where prohibited. No animals were hurt as they wrote this book. Stay tuned for exciting scenes to next week's show. Is this for here or to go? Cash back? Peace. Love. Out. Contains exclusive outtakes unavailable on the DVD. The author goofs off in Portland, Oregon.

THIS BOOK ROCKS!.......2005-09-22
I know the author of this book personally, he's a cool guy, yo. I read it before it was published and thought it was super cool!
The absence of the word 'ass' upset me.
But otherwise, this is a nifty coffee table book. Yeah.

A book about three letter words? A strange idea to be sure but Tanner Parsons pulls it off. He shows his writing skills in his introduction which is funny and touching. A boon to Scrabble players everywhere!
