Broadcasting in Ireland
Broadcasting in Ireland (1978) outlines the historical and sociological background of Ireland to place the progress of its broadcasting service in the context of its post-independence development. It analyses the difficulties of running public service broadcasting financed by both licence fee and advertising, and competing in half its television reception area with two of the premier broadcasting systems in the world. With regular broadcasting beginning with Independence, its development was inevitably bound up with the process of building the political, economic and social framework of the new State, and this book closely examines how the Irish broadcasting system coped with the attending economic, cultural and political difficulties.

The Mathematical Radio
How a modern radio works, told through mathematics, history, and selected puzzles The modern radio is a wonder, and behind that magic is mathematics. In The Mathematical Radio, Paul Nahin explains how radios work, deploying mathematics and historical discussion, accompanied by a steady stream of intriguing puzzles for math buffs to ponder. Beginning with oscillators and circuits, then moving on to AM, FM, and single-sideband radio, Nahin focuses on the elegant mathematics underlying radio technology rather than the engineering. He explores and explains more than a century of key developments, placing them in historical and technological context. Nahin, a prolific author of books on math for the general reader, describes in fascinating detail the mathematical underpinnings of a technology we use daily. He explains and solves, for example, Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field. Readers need only a familarity with advanced high school-level math to follow Nahin's mathematical discussions. Writing with the nonengineer in mind, Nahin examines topics including impulses in time and frequency, spectrum shifting at the transmitter, the superheterodyne, the physics of single-sideband radio, and FM sidebands. Chapters end with "challenge problems" and an appendix offers solutions, partial answers, and hints. Readers will come away with a new appreciation for the beauty of even the most useful mathematics.

Electromechanics in Quantum Circuit Cavity
Quantum mechanics is a very successful theory which precisely describes the behavior of microscopic particles. Although the theory provides counter-intuitive predictions, such as that an object can be at two different positions at the same time and the "spooky action at a distance" between two objects, it describes the microscopic world with unprecedental precision. These counter-intuitive quantum behaviors of microscopic particles explainphenomena across disparate scales, from the microscopic scale such as interactions between sub-atomic particles, the atomic spectrum, motion of electrons in solids, and chemical reactions, to macroscopic scale such as behavior of superfluids and superconductors, and even the evolution of stars. So far, no example of conflicts between experiment and theory is known, and the validity of the theory is so broad that one would expect that the quantumtheory can be applied to the macroscopic world, for example, a macroscopic massive object such as a soccer ball can in principle be at two positions at the same time.

Einstein vs. Bohr_ Quantum Clash
The clash between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in the realm of quantum physics is a legendary and intellectually gripping showdown that has left an indelible mark on the history of science. "Einstein vs. Bohr: Quantum Clash" delves into this epic scientific duel that defined an era and illuminated the intricacies of quantum theory and the nature of reality itself.Albert Einstein, renowned for his groundbreaking theories of relativity and his iconic equation E=mc簡, is often celebrated as one of the greatest scientific minds in history. However, his skepticism towards the emerging field of quantum mechanics was no less significant. He famously declared that "God does not play dice with the universe," reflecting his unease with the inherent probabilistic nature of quantum theory.On the other side of this scientific clash was Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist and one of the principal architects of quantum mechanics. Bohr's work, which included the development of the Bohr model of the atom and the principle of complementarity, represented a paradigm shift in the understanding of the atomic and subatomic world. He passionately defended the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics and its limitations.The clash between Einstein and Bohr primarily revolved around their differing interpretations of quantum theory. While Einstein adhered to a realist perspective, believing that there must be hidden variables governing quantum phenomena, Bohr defended a more positivist view, emphasizing that the observer and the act of measurement were integral to the outcome.This intellectual confrontation culminated in debates, letters, and countless discussions that exposed the deep-seated philosophical and methodological differences between the two luminaries. Their feud came to symbolize the complexities of quantum physics and its implications for our understanding of reality.The implications of the Einstein-Bohr clash extended far beyond the realm of academia. It raised profound questions about the nature of scientific knowledge, the limits of human understanding, and the interplay between determinism and indeterminism in the universe. It also challenged scientists and philosophers to grapple with the epistemological and metaphysical implications of quantum mechanics.Ultimately, both Einstein and Bohr made monumental contributions to the advancement of quantum physics. Their respective viewpoints enriched the field by providing alternative perspectives and stimulating critical thinking. While they never reached a conclusive agreement, their dialogue profoundly shaped the way scientists and thinkers approach the mysteries of the quantum world."Einstein vs. Bohr: Quantum Clash" is not only a fascinating exploration of the clash between two scientific giants but also an invitation to ponder the fundamental questions about the nature of reality, the limits of human knowledge, and the enduring quest to decipher the enigmatic world of quantum mechanics. It stands as a testament to the power of intellectual debate in the pursuit of scientific truth.
