"Although the various branches of physics differ in their experimental methods and theoretical approaches, certain general principles apply to all of them. The forefront of contemporary advances in physics lies in the submicroscopic regime, whether it be in atomic, nuclear, condensed-matter, plasma, or particle physics, or in quantum optics, or even in the study of stellar structure. All are based upon quantum theory (i.e., quantum mecha ..."
"This new book examines new research in the exploding field of quantum physics. The forefront of contemporary advances in physics lies in the submicroscopic regime, whether it be in atomic, nuclear, condensed-matter, plasma, or particle physics, or in quantum optics, or even in the study of stellar structure. All are based upon quantum theory (i.e., quantum mechanics and quantum field theory) and relativity, which together form the theor ..."

"The transition from one millennium to another is not just a calendar date, but rather a complex historical process of qualitative changes in the development of human civilization. Such an understanding of history is especially important when one would like to assess the "double step" (a new century and a new millennium) being made at the advent of a new era. Together with a geopolitical regrouping, principal qualitative shifts are tak ..."
"The Post-Soviet period is of crucial importance to the remainder of the world. The military, political, economic and social changes unfolding in Russia and it's former republics carry significant meaning and opportunities, in many cases , for countries outside of Russia. This book blends views from outside with those inside on such hot-button topics as NATO enlargement, nuclear disarmament, monetary policy, economic security, politica ..."
