White dwarfs, neutron stars, and (solar mass) black holes are the collapsed
cores of stars which, near the ends of their luminous lives, have shed
most of their mass in supernova explosions or other, less spectacular,
instabilities. Here gravity crushes matter to realms that lie far beyond
present empirical knowledge. This book explores the diverse forms that
such compact stars can possibly take, as constrained by the laws of nature:
the general principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, the properties
of nuclear matter deduced from nuclei, and the asymptotic freedom of quarks
at high density. The book is self contained. It reviews general relativity,
essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics, and general features
of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes; it includes background
on such matters as stellar formation and evolution, the discovery of pulsars
and associated phenomena, and the strange-matter hypothesis. The book develops
a theory for the constitution of neutron stars and the more exotic Hyperon
Stars, Hybrid Stars (containing a quark matter core surrounded by an intricate
lattice of quark and hadronic matter) and Strange Stars and Dwarfs (composed
of the three light quark flavors sheathed in a solid skin of heavy ions).
This second edition has been revised throughout to clarify discussions
and bring data up to date; it includes new figures, several new sections,
and new chapters on Bose condensates in neutron stars and on phase transitions.

From the reviews:
"The book is well laid out and elegantly written."-The Physicist
"Atom optics today has reached maturity: It has become both wave (coherent) and nonlinear atom optics. Of course that expansion required generalization in a new book. Pierre Meystre has taken just such a generalist approach in his timely ATOM OPTICS. His were the pioneering works in atom optics; to get information from the first explorer is always most valuable to the reader … Recommend[ed] to all strata of the physics community.”–PHYSICS TODAY
"Pierre Meystre has taken … a generalist approach in his timely Atom Optics. His were the pioneering works in atom optics; to get information from the first explorer is always most valuable to the reader. … The circle of potential readers of the book is very wide – from graduate students to professors … . I therefore recommend it to all strata of the physics community." (Vladilen Letokhov, Physics Today, November, 2002)
"Pierre Meystre is a theoretical physicist at the University of Arizona. His book entitled ‘Atom Physics’ is the first book published on the subject. … This book is well laid out and elegantly written. I believe that this book, combined with Hal Metcalf’s ‘Laser Cooling and Trapping’, forms an excellent introduction at a postgraduate level to atom optics." (A. G. Truscott, The Physicist, Vol. 39 (4), 2002)

The Letters and Papers of Jan Hendrik Oort

&ldquo;A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight. . . . An irresistible tale of wizardry, science and forbidden love.&rdquo; &mdash;People &#160; &ldquo;Romantic, erudite, and suspenseful . . . Harkness attends to every scholarly and emotional detail with whimsy, sensuality, and humor.&rdquo; &mdash;O, The Oprah Magazine &#160; &ldquo;A thoroughly grown-up novel packed with gorgeous historical detail and a gutsy, brainy heroine to match. . . . Harkness writes with thrilling gusto about the magical world.&rdquo; &mdash;Entertainment Weekly &#160; &ldquo;Harkness conjures up a scintillating paranormal story. . . . Discover why everyone&rsquo;s talking about this magical book.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today &#160; &ldquo;Delightfully well-crafted and enchantingly imaginative . . . It has some of the same ineluctable atmosphere that made Anne Rice&rsquo;s vampire books such a popular success.&rdquo; &mdash;Miami Herald &#160; &ldquo;A debut novel with a big supernatural canvas . . . Its ambitions are world-sized, ranging across history and zeroing in on DNA, human and otherwordly. Age-old tensions between science and magic and between evolution and alchemy erupt as Diana seeks to unlock the secrets of Ashmole 782.&rdquo;  &mdash;Los Angeles Times &#160; &ldquo;Harkness, an eloquent writer, conjures this world of witches with Ivy League degrees and supernatural creatures completely&mdash;and believably&mdash;while maintaining a sense of wonder. . . . A Discovery of Witches is that rare historical novel that manages to be as intelligent as it is romantic. And it is supernatural fiction that those of us who usually prefer to stay grounded in reality can get caught up in. Pardon the pun, but Witches is truly spellbinding.&rdquo; &mdash;San Antonio News-Express &#160; &ldquo;Readers who thrilled to Elizabeth Kostova&rsquo;s 2005 blockbuster, The Historian, will note the parallels, but A Discovery of Witches is a modern Romeo and Juliet story, with older, wiser lovers. Blood will flow when a witch and a vampire fall for each other. Author Deborah Harkness, a UCLA history professor, brings vast knowledge and research to the page.&rdquo; &mdash;Cleveland Plain Dealer &#160; &ldquo;Harkness works her own form of literary alchemy by deftly blending fantasy, romance, history, and horror into one completely bewitching book.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune &#160; &ldquo;A Discovery of Witches becomes increasingly charming as it goes along. . . . A shrewdly written romp and a satisfying snow-day read for those of us who heartily enjoyed the likes of Anne Rice and Marion Zimmer Bradley. By the book&rsquo;s rousing end . . . I was impatient for the sequel.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR
