Chemistry Value Teaching Pack- An essential for any Serious Chemistry Undergraduate

 As an undergraduate, finding the ideal text for your course of study is often an odyssey in itself. Often, the recommended course lists set by the course leader can be either far too verbose in nature or do not contain the relevant details needed (as is often the case in STEM topics). In addition, the costs of such texts are a great burden on one's finances, especially if you are required to purchase multiple texts per lecture course. 

The 3-set Chemistry value pack (understandably aimed at chemists) is a great remedy to the problems outlined above. Firstly, the texts (of which there are 3) are friendly, and approachable with many interesting diagrams and illustrations littered throughout the text. Secondly, the texts are exhaustive and complete, meaning there will be no need to purchase additional texts outside of this set. The set is composed of 3 renowned individual texts on inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, which are available for purchase at a combined reduced rate than if bought separately. These texts are more than sufficient to cover the vast majority (if not all)  of the content of an undergraduate chemistry syllabus.

I cannot recommend this set enough for chemistry students who (as is indeed common) are on a tight budget and course leaders who would like to ensure equal access to learning resources for all their students.

The Square Root of Einstein

What does it mean to be a scientist ? How do I become a scientist ? What makes up the universe around us ? What is the Square Root of Einstein ? The Square Root of Einstein answers all and more of these questions, in a satisfying way.  Written in a warming conversational tone, this extremely entertaining book walks the reader effortlessly through some of the greatest surprises in fundamental physics over the last century: Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity, General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory, and of course Particle Physics. These earlier chapters coalesces into the final half of the book which describes one of the most perplexing results of the last 20 years: The Double Copy. This book appeals to broad audience of popular science enthusiasts, young and old. For the teenage reader, this book provides a calling and challenge. This book is an accessible call to action towards young readers considering a career (or at the very least a university education) in science, especial...

Sidney Coleman and the legacy of Quantum Field theory

 Often described as a physicist's physicist, Sidney Coleman is regarded as one of the greatest teacher of Modern Theoretical Physics (as well as being one of it's greatest practictioners during the 20th century). His Harvard course on Quantum Field Theory has been synonymous within the field of theoretical high energy physics, for being clear, concise and most importantly understandable. This last attribute, led many to  herald him as an engaging and dedicated teacher, whose methods have  long been the gold standard for teaching in theoretical physics. For many years, this exceptional course has only been accessible through rather grainy recordings from  the 1970s; or more recently, a typed up transcript of the lecture course, from meticulously kept hand written notes from one of the teaching assistant. This newly published edition is culmination of the later transcription as well as notes, memories and recollections of a whole host of  Physics- 253a alumni (whi...

Modern Physics: Why the World Works

Modern Physics is a novel revitilsation of the standard 1st year education in undergraduate physics. The text is very comprehensive; it covers a broad spectrum of topics from quantum mechanics to condensed matter physics and cosmology.  What makes this book special is its approach in explaining physics phenomena. This text gives intuitive, relatable and detailed explanations of the how's and why's.  This is refreshing, as it build gently the readers physical understanding of how the world should work. This is remarkably important for building student's confidence when solving problems, but also their mathematical toolkit to do so. This is further aided by the numerous worked examples, conceptual questions and exercises throughout. There is no doubt in my mind that Modern Physics will soon become the standard reference for first year teaching. Modern Physics by Gary N. Felder and  Kenny M. Felder ISBN:  9781108913270
