Timothy Hunter dostává náročný úkol: zachránit pohádkovou říši, která z neznámého důvodu pustne a chátrá. Dozví se také, že jeho pravým otcem není obyčejný, nezajímavý Londýňan pan Hunter, ale muž z říše pohádek. Proto má Tim tak neobyčejné kouzelnické schopnosti! Tim se přenese do pohádkové říše, ale ocitá se rovnou v pasti: v doupěti krvežíznivé příšery zvané mantikor. Smrti unikne jen o vlásek a za cenu toho, že za něj obětuje život někdo jiný… ale pohádková říše snad bude zachráněna.
Před Harrym Potterem tu byl ještě jeden brýlatý kouzelník. Jmenoval se Tim Hunter a do světa ho nepřivedl nikdo menší než Neil Gaiman. V komiksu Knihy magie se tento adept magických umění dostává do spárů čtyřem mágům (včetně Johna Constantina), kteří mu ukazují čtyři různé podoby magie. Každý v jedné části knihy kreslené jiným skvělým výtvarníkem. Najdete tu Johna Boltona (Vražedná tajemství), Scotta Hamptona (Lucifer), Charlese Vesse (Sandman) a Paula Johnsona (2000 AD).
Tim Hunter ví, jak to v pohádkách chodí. Rytíř zachrání princeznu před drakem a potom všichni šťastně žijí až do smrti. Pak ovšem jeho dívku Molly unese neznámý návštěvník z budoucnosti. Ve správné pohádce by hrdina samozřejmě dívku snadno zachránil. Toto však není žádná obyčejná pohádka…
Během lidských dějin bylo mnoho dětí týráno a zneužíváno. Naštěstí se mohou uchýlit do Svobodné země, kde si stále jen hrají, nic jim nechybí a nikdy nezestárnou. Zdejší idylu ale naruší skupinka samozvaných vládců, která hodlá přenést do své říše úplně všechny děti. K tomu potřebují Tima Huntera a jeho kouzelnické schopnosti. Mohl by jim ale Tim v něčem tak hloupém pomáhat?
This book gives a more general discussion of quantum mechanical principles. It shows how quantum states can be represented by vectors in a vector space, with observable quantities represented by operators acting on the vectors. This formalism is used to provide a proof of the uncertainty principle and to derive quantum mechanical conservation laws. The properties of orbital and spin angular momentum are introduced and the extraordinary properties of systems of identical particles, including Bose-Einstein condensation, are explored. The book then discusses some fascinating topics in the interpretation of quantum mechanics, supported by the results of recent experiments. The process of measurement in quantum mechanics cannot be described by Schrodinger's equation and appears to involve chance in an unavoidable way. The book ends by discussing the concept of entanglement, and its applications to quantum encryption, quantum teleportation and quantum computing. The mathematical techniques used and developed in this book include vector spaces, Hermitian operators and matrix algebra.
The Quantum Mechanics of Matter shows how quantum mechanical methods are used to explain the behaviour of matter, from the scale of nuclei and atoms to molecules and solids. The hydrogen atom is discussed in detail, as well as hydrogen-like systems such as charmonium. The useful technique of perturbation theory is developed to obtain approximate results in cases where exact calculations become difficult. The book goes on to discuss multi-electron atoms and the Periodic Table, molecular binding and the behaviour of electrons in the energy bands of metals, insulators and semiconductors. Finally, the book considers the interaction of matter with light. You will see how quantum mechanics can predict the lifetimes of atomic states and the brightness of spectral lines.
