It will provide the reader with the tools and insights needed to analyze many complex issues with insights gained from informed estimates and simple calculations. Taking his inspiration from Fermi‘s famous "back of the envelope" calculations, Hafemeister shows how to capture the essence of a problem in rough estimates of the important parameters and then to use those estimates to gauge the effects of policy decisions. Hafemeister draws on dozens of years of experience working on just these issues in the US Senate, the national Academy of Sciences, and several Federal agencies, as well as the Lawrence-Berkeley, Los Alamos, and Argonne national laboratories to provide details and examples as well as insight into the issues needed to plan public policy. The book is divided into three parts, each treating an area in which physics plays a major role: - National security: nuclear weapons and their effects, missile defenses, arms control and verification, and nuclear proliferation an | 出版日期 | Textbook 20071st edition | 关键词 | Radio; Symbol; Transport; arms control; electromagnetic radiation; energy; environment; missile defenses; na | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-68909-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-3056-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-68909-8 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2007 |
