Review:
"...there is an admirable aim here--to tie the theory of physics to its application. The result could be an education and a handy reference guide for practitioners as well as students." The Engineer
"Principles of Modern Technology is well worth the money, and is the kind of mind expanding challenge that engineers and scientists need. Melissinos is well organized and challenging as he leads us through the major issues of the magic of modern technology." Applied Mechanics Review

Book Description Blanda. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. No Aplica (illustrator). 1. Our society is inextricably dependent on technology that affects every aspect of our lives. However, the fundamental principles that make our technology possible are not always appreciated and it is difficult to get a broad overview of how science is linked to its everyday applications. Principles of Modern Technology discusses the physical laws underlying technology and their impact on practical devices. Four main areas have been identified; computers and microelectronics, communications, nuclear power, and space flight. Each topic is treated in a way that gives the reader insight into the underlying physics and allows calculation of the orders of magnitude involved. Based on a course taught at the University of Rochester, the book is well suited as a text for upperclassmen in science and engineering. It will also be useful as a reference book for science and technology professionals. 500 gr. Libro. Seller Inventory # 9780521389655LEA1839
