The Nature of Mass -- $tIndex 330 $aThe concept of mass is one of the most fundamental notions in physics, comparable in importance only to those of space and time. But in contrast to the latter, which are the subject of innumerable physical and philosophical studies, the concept of mass has been but rarely investigated. Here Max Jammer, a leading philosopher and historian of physics, provides a concise but comprehensive, coherent, and self-contained study of the concept of mass as it is defined, interpreted, and applied in contemporary physics and as it is critically examined in the modern philosophy of science. With its focus on theories proposed after the mid-1950s, the book is the first of its kind, covering the most recent experimental and theoretical investigations into the nature of mass and its role in modern physics, from the realm of elementary particles to the cosmology of galaxies. The book begins with an analysis of the persistent difficulties of defining inertial mass in a noncircular manner and discusses the related question of whether mass is an observational or a theoretical concept. It then studies the notion of mass in special relativity and the delicate problem of whether the relativistic rest mass is the only legitimate notion of mass and whether it is identical with the classical (Newtonian) mass. This is followed by a critical analysis of the different derivations of the famous mass-energy relationship E = mc2 and its conflicting interpretations. Jammer then devotes a chapter to the distinction between inertial and gravitational mass and to the various versions of the so-called equivalence principle with which Newton initiated his Principia but which also became the starting point of Einstein's general relativity, which supersedes Newtonian physics. The book concludes with a presentation of recently proposed global and local dynamical theories of the origin and nature of mass. Destined to become a much-consulted reference for philosophers and physicists, this book is also written for the nonprofessional general reader interested in the foundations of physics. 606 $aMass (Physics) 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMass (Physics) 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 676 $a530.11 700 $aJammer$b Max$01078 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459774703321 996 $aConcepts of mass in contemporary physics and philosophy$92447743 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05842oam 22008051 450 001 996207961003316 005 20230912172718.0 010 $a1-00-306095-1 010 $a1-00-011569-0 010 $a1-000-15496-3 010 $a1-000-11569-0 010 $a1-003-06095-1 010 $a1-281-28891-8 010 $a9786611288914 010 $a1-55250-373-9 024 7 $a10.4324/9781003060956 035 $a(CKB)1000000000483777 035 $a(EBL)327898 035 $a(OCoLC)276814915 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000163866 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11164610 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000163866 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10118533 035 $a(PQKB)11033726 035 $a(CaPaEBR)422175 035 $a(CaBNvSL)thg00603571 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL327898 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10218324 035 $a(OCoLC)1222780104 035 $a(OCoLC-P)1222780104 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9781003060956 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/wxbv2k 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC327898 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000483777 100 $a20200617e20202008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGlobalization, labour markets and inequality in India /$fDipak Mazumdar, Sandip Sarkar 205 $a1st. 210 1$aLondon :$cRoutledge,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (380 p.) 225 1 $aRoutledge studies in the growth economies of Asia (2005) ;$v79 300 $aPreviously issued in print: 2008. 300 $a

While the increased exposure to world markets (globalization') and relaxation of domestic controls has undoubtedly given a spurt to the GDP growth rate, its impact on poverty, inequality and employment have been controversial. This book examines in detail these aspects of post-reform India and discerns the changes and trends which these new developments have created. Providing an original analysis of unit-level data available from the quinquennial National Sample Surveys, the Annual Surveys of Industries and other basic data sources, the authors analyse and compare the results with other pieces of work in the literature. As well as describing the overall situation for India, the book highlights regional differences, and looks at the major industrial sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and tertiary services. The important topic of labor market institutions - both for the formal or organized and the unorganized sectors - is considered and the possible adverse effect on employment growth of the regulatory labor framework is examined carefully. Since any reform of this framework must go hand in hand with better state intervention in the informal sector to have any chance of acceptance politically, some of the major initiatives in this area are critically explored. Overall, this book will be of great interest to development economists, labour economists and specialists in South Asian Studies. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the growth economies of Asia (2005) ;$v79. 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects$zIndia 606 $aLabor market$zIndia 606 $aEquality$zIndia 607 $aIndia$xEconomic conditions 607 $aIndia$xForeign economic relations 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aEquality 676 $a331.120954 700 $aMazumdar$b Dipak$f1932-$0125296 702 $aSarkar$b Sandip$f1961- 712 02$aInternational Development Research Centre. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996207961003316 996 $aGlobalization, labour markets and inequality in India$92884453 997 $aUNISA
