Sonochemistry can do lots of amazing things in many different fields – but how and where do you start with applying it? This thoroughly updated third edition of Practical Sonochemistry offers a ground-up introduction to the fundamentals applying power ultrasound to both lab and large-scale applications, methodically addressing the following questions: My laboratory does not have the equipment- what do I need? I have the equipment, but I have no idea how it works or how to use it- where do I start? I want to apply sonochemistry to a new reaction or processing method – what is the best approach? What types of sonochemistry equipment is available on the market and which is the best to choose? Can I scale up my reaction and if so, how do I do it, given that ultrasound is non-linear?Practical Sonochemistry: Applications of Power Ultrasound in Chemistry and Processing, Third Edition will be invaluable to anyone who wishes to use power ultrasound devices to synthesize or degrade chemical compounds. It conveys the increasing growth in applications and equipment to power ultrasound.

Modern Cosmology, Third Edition, provides a detailed introduction to the field of cosmology. Beginning with the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric, this trusted resource includes careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. The reader is then introduced to perturbations about an FLRW universe: their evolution with the Einstein-Boltzmann equations, their primordial generation by inflation, and their observational consequences: the acoustic peaks in the CMB; the E/B decomposition in polarization; gravitational lensing of the CMB and large-scale structure; and the BAO standard ruler and redshift-space distortions in galaxy clustering.This revised third edition includes updates such as new sections on gravitational waves, line intensity mapping, and emergent analysis techniques; expanded sections of CMB secondaries; and revised figures and pedagogy. These revisions serve to enhance a comprehensive foundational text, as well as provide users with improvements that are aligned with recent advances in the field, as well as modern focuses in the classroom. Modern Cosmology, Third Edition, builds on how modern observations are rapidly revolutionizing our understanding of the universe, and supplies readers with all the tools needed to effectively work in cosmology.
