English | May 13, 2014 | ISBN: 9781619541009 | 130 pages | PDF | 14 Mb
In this manual covering basic aerobatics, William K. Kershner introduced maneuvers in order of difficulty, covering a variety of them in his clear, understandable, and humorous style. The Basic Aerobatic Manual is fully illustrated with the author’s own drawings and contains a practical syllabus, a detailed bibliography and an index. Though the manual emphasizes airspeeds and techniques recommended for the Cessna Aerobat, the maneuvers described in the book may be performed in other airplanes certified for aerobatics.

The Strange Death of English Leg Spin How Cricket’s Finest Art Was Given Away


Free Download Justin Parkinson, "The Strange Death of English Leg Spin: How Cricket’s Finest Art Was Given Away"
English | 2015 | pages: 224 | ISBN: 1785310291 | EPUB | 6,8 mb
Shane Warne has shown the world how to bowl leg spin. But how many people know that English cricketers pioneered the art? Leg breaks, googlies, flippers-all were invented here. So how did we come to give it all away? Reach the point where home crowds would boo an English leggie’s efforts, yet then pay gracious tribute to the Australian master of the most beautiful form of bowling known to man. The Strange Death of English Leg Spin shows how a century of neglect effectively killed any chance of England producing its own Warne. Petty rivalries, mistrust, ridiculous rule changes, jealousies, ineptitude, and neglect combined to ensure that Ian Salisbury, Tich Freeman, Chris Schofield, and others never had a chance to become world-beaters. Featuring interviews with key players, psychologists, and coaches and in-depth historical research, the book suggests how England can once again become the global center of leg spin.

Quantum Spin Systems on Infinite Lattices A Concise Introduction


Free Download Quantum Spin Systems on Infinite Lattices: A Concise Introduction by Pieter Naaijkens
English | PDF | 2017 | 184 Pages | ISBN : 3319514563 | 3 MB
This course-based primer offers readers a concise introduction to the description of quantum mechanical systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom – and quantum spin systems in particular – using the operator algebraic approach. Here, the observables are modeled using elements of some operator algebra, usually a C*-algebra. This text introduces readers to the framework and the necessary mathematical tools without assuming much mathematical background, making it more accessible than advanced monographs.

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009401998| 530 Pages | PDF (True) | 31 MB
Motivated by dramatic developments in the field, this book provides a thorough introduction to spin and its role in elementary particle physics. Starting with a simple pedagogical introduction to spin and its relativistic generalisation, the author avoids the obscurity and impenetrability of traditional treatments of the subject. The book surveys the main theoretical and experimental developments, as well as discussing exciting plans for the future. Emphasis is placed on the importance of spin-dependent measurements in testing QCD and the Standard Model. This book will be of value to graduate students and researchers working in all areas of quantum physics and particularly in elementary particle and high energy physics. It is suitable as a supplementary text for graduate courses in theoretical and experimental particle physics. This title, first published in 2001, has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

The Science of Spin How Rotational Forces Affect Everything from Your Body to Jet Engines to the Weather [Audiobook]


Free Download The Science of Spin: How Rotational Forces Affect Everything from Your Body to Jet Engines to the Weather (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BRNY5PVS | 2023 | 7 hours and 26 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 212 MB
Author: Roland Ennos
Narrator: Matt Godfrey

A clear and captivating work of popular science that explains rotational force-a basic driver of the universe affecting everything from the cosmos to our own bodies. From the time women first used rotating bobbins to twist thread and men whirled slings around their heads to throw stones, people have found spin fascinating and baffling in equal measure. Now, in The Science of Spin, Roland Ennos shows how rotational motion dominates the workings of the world around us. It has shaped the solar system, galaxies, and black holes. It controls our climate and weather-from the pattern of trade winds through to the local formation of hurricanes and tornadoes. Harnessing the power of spin helped launch civilization, from the first developments of the wheel to the systems that now power the industrial world-propellers, turbines, centrifugal pumps, and electric motors. Even our own bodies are complex systems of rotating joints and levers.
