Aiden Kain was born blind—weak, useless, a failure. When his squad is sent into an S-Rank Rift, they’re slaughtered. He should have died too.

Cosmological Defects offers a sweeping, in-depth exploration into the relics of the early universe, charting a course from the primordial chaos of the Big Bang to the intricate tapestry of modern cosmological research. This definitive volume begins with an accessible introduction to cosmological defects and the dramatic phase transitions that set the stage for their formation (Chapter 1–2) and then delves into the mechanics of symmetry breaking and the influential Kibble-Zurek mechanism (Chapter 3). It builds a robust theoretical framework by systematically classifying topological defects—from the one-dimensional filaments of cosmic strings (Chapter 5) and the two-dimensional cosmic boundaries of domain walls (Chapter 6) to the point-like magnetic monopoles (Chapter 7), and extending further into the realm of complex, unstable defects such as textures and skyrmions (Chapter 8). The journey continues as the book ventures "beyond standard defects" to explore the role of extra dimensions and the emergence of hybrid structures from multiple symmetry breakings (Chapter 9), while also showcasing the latest astronomical methods that link theory with observation (Chapter 10). In a broader cosmological context, it examines how these defects might have seeded large-scale structures and acted as catalysts in cosmic evolution (Chapter 11). The final chapters bring the discussion full circle—synthesizing theory and observation into a comprehensive conclusion (Chapter 12) and providing a critical analysis of the seminal references that have shaped the field (Chapter 13). Drawing upon a wealth of highly credible, peer-reviewed research—from seminal works by Kibble, Linde, and Vilenkin to transformative observational studies by the Planck Collaboration—Cosmological Defects is an essential resource for PhD-level scholars and researchers. It not only presents complex ideas in a clear and engaging manner but also offers deep insights into the current challenges and future directions of cosmology, ensuring that readers gain a thorough understanding of both the historical context and cutting-edge developments in the study of the universe’s most enigmatic structures.

Book Blurb: Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications Discover the hidden force that governs everything from the behavior of microscopic particles to the evolution of galaxies in Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications. This comprehensive volume takes you on a journey through the multifaceted world of entropy, offering a rigorous yet accessible exploration. Beginning with a clear and engaging introduction that lays the conceptual groundwork, the book guides you through the essential principles of thermodynamic entropy before delving into its formalism. With subsequent chapters dedicated to the microstate perspective of statistical mechanics and the nuanced quantum view of entropy, the text builds a solid foundation for understanding how energy dispersal and uncertainty are quantified in both classical and modern physics. The exploration continues as the author examines entropy’s crucial role in chemical and physical processes, highlighting its influence on phase transitions and reaction spontaneity. The discussion then bridges to information theory, where Shannon’s revolutionary ideas meet thermodynamic concepts to reveal surprising parallels in how we measure uncertainty. Interdisciplinary applications further showcase how entropy informs biological evolution, economic dynamics, and cosmological phenomena such as black hole thermodynamics and the heat death of the universe. Advanced topics and contemporary debates invite readers to consider cutting-edge research on maximum entropy production, the arrow of time, and non-equilibrium systems, while practical chapters on experimental techniques offer insights into real-world measurement and industrial applications. Finally, reflective discussions on philosophical and theoretical implications, combined with a critical evaluation of foundational works, round out this authoritative text. Whether you are seeking to deepen your understanding of energy, information, and complexity or to explore innovative research frontiers, Understanding Entropy offers an essential, interdisciplinary perspective on one of science’s most profound concepts.
