Physical Description
Hardback, [8] 556 pp., with index.
Overview
In the physical universe there are millions of separate systems of matter and energy, most of them very small or very large, but very few intermediate in size. We use the word system for a range of things that may be very different in nature and very different in scale.
It is also possible to describe the systems of matter and energy as composed of different classes of elementary particles. But since there is no unique way of identifying and classifying particles, their behaviour and interactions, and how the system of matter and energy behaves, the only objective definition of a system is: "A system of matter and energy that can be investigated".
From this point of view, systems of matter and energy are special. We can describe the components of the systems in more detail, and we can describe how they interact with each other, or with the environment. We can study how each component varies with time, and we can describe how the system changes as a whole. But how do we study systems of matter and energy, or describe them?
The book is divided into three parts. The first part (Systems of Matter and Energy) discusses the properties of physical systems. The second part (Atoms and Molecules) shows how we can describe the elementary constituents of the systems of matter and energy. The third part (The Entities) discusses how the systems of matter and energy behave as wholes.
