The World Scientific Handbook of Energy (2013) by Gerard M. Crawley
The World Scientific Handbook of Energy provides comprehensive, reliable and timely sets of data on energy resources and uses; it gathers in one publication a concise description of the current state-of-the-art for a wide variety of energy resources, including data on resource availability worldwide and at different cost levels.
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics contains much of the most frequently used data in science, including the periodic table of the elements, basic constants and units, and geophysical data. It can be found in the Library, under the call number QD 65 .C72 2013.
Physics Project Lab (2015) by Paul Gluck
Physics Project Labis a guide to conducting experimental physics investigations. Projects contain a summary of theoretical background information, an outline of goals and possible avenues of exploration, suggestions of instrumentation and experimental setup and data analysis, and typical results which can serve as guidelines for the beginner researcher.
Encyclopedia of Physics Research (2012) by Jillian P. Ramos
Encyclopedia of Physics Research is a guide to current research in the field of physics.
