Reviews “A GENUINE ‘TOUR DE FORCE’ . . . a serious worthwhile experience for anyone interested in a wide variety of areas of physics, provided they are willing to approach the task in a truly open-minded manner. After the mathematical preliminaries, which take a while to read and understand, the author launches into their applications in physics and that is why it may be described correctly as a ‘tour de force,’ due to the breadth of applications considered. . . . [It] offers a discussion of a truly wide range of such physical phenomena, ranging from electromagnetic phenomena to quarks and hadrons to nucleons and nuclear forces to gravitation and to cosmology. The breadth of topics discussed—and discussed with an obviously good background knowledge of each—should make anyone who reads this book admire the tremendous knowledge and effort put into its production by the author. He is to be congratulated. . . . [T]his is a book that should be read and studied by all serious physics researchers. Even if you initially disagree with some of the statements made, the contents will make you think and possibly try to view some areas from a different point of view. This can only be good for physics and for any researcher who should view any topic in a totally open-minded way—studying this book will certainly help anybody with the will to do that.” — Jeremy Dunning-Davies, Dept. of Maths. and Physics (retired), Hull University, England “An unorthodox but critical update as to physics, and I highly recommend it. In spirit, this is very similar to another ‘deep think’ book by Paul Wesson titled ‘Five-Dimensional Physics: Classical and Quantum Consequences of Kaluza-Klein Cosmology,’ and the two books complement each other well, and in addition the very good section on the fine structure constant written by Krasnoholovets has a perspective that is important and which is not elucidated anywhere else in physics. The author’s efforts in understanding the deterministic foundations of physics is also important and should be seriously reviewed by any theoretical physicist who wishes to understand the limitations of the standard model, and quark-lepton physics. The sections on inertons are unique as well and is getting my continual review and study.” —Andrew Beckwith, PhD, Visiting Professor, Physics Department, Chongqing University, People’s Republic of China Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Volodymyr Krasnoholovets, PhD Senior Research Scientist, Department of Theoretical Physics, Institute of Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine Dr. V. Krasnoholovets was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. He graduated from a mathematical school, and then became a student of the Kyiv’s Taras Shevchenko National University, Department of Physics, Faculty of Theoretical Physics; he received a master’s degree in 1979. For next several years he worked as an experimentalist in the area of superconductivity at the Institute for Metal Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv. Since the end of 1981 and to now, he has been working at the Department of Theoretical Physics, Institute of Physics, Natl. Acad. Sci., Kyiv. A PhD thesis was defended in 1987; it was devoted to the study of a proton polaron model in compounds with hydrogen bonds including biological systems. At the Department, he focuses on condensed matter physics. Since 1993 he is a Senior Research Scientist. In the mid-1980s he also began to take an interest in the foundations of physics. The first paper in this field was published in 1993. In 1998-2003 Dr. Krasnoholovets actively worked with one of the classical French mathematicians, Prof. Michel Bounias (1943- 2003). Together with Prof. Bounias a theory of real physical space was developed, which started from pure mathematical principles, namely, set theory, topology and fractal geometry. Another professional interest is applied physics. In 2006 he co-founded a company in Belgium devoted to the development of technologies proposed by Ukrainian scientists. The company was named Indra Scientific and it has been gradually developing embracing new areas of applications (the production of biodiesel, recycling of industrial waste, organic waste to energy by using a new design of a gasifier, cleaning of waste water, infrared heating thin films, measuring devices, ecological chemistry, etc.). He was an editor of several books and collections of works dealing with quantum physics and gravity. Dr. Krasnoholovets published over 80 research papers. |

Despite the fact that the book brought together 41 different authors (with very different writing styles), AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “As the author of a two-volume book on nanotechnologies, I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title plus many others: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “Since my first recent association, I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.” —Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada AAP book title plus many others: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems “It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade. The best presentation of our work was due to their hard work and with careful scrutiny. I am sure that every one of them takes extra pains to publish the book nicely, maintaining the quality and timeliness. It was a rewarding experience to work with AAP. I would like to publish more with AAP on my upcoming projects in future also.” —Prof. Suresh C. Ameta, Professor of Eminence (Distinguished Professor), Faculty of Science, PAHER University, UDAIPUR, India AAP book title: New Frontiers in Nanochemistry, 3-volume set, plus many others "Publishing a book, either as author or editor, is a journey from the initial vibration to the piece of knowledge towards the present future of humanity at large. Such a journey is about climbing and tunneling, about diving and driving through, about inspiration and tuning, about hard working in every instance; and it is also about time. Very few Global Publishers have the wisdom and patience and kindness and openness to authors, contributors, and readers while being truly crafting oriented as Apple Academic; yet all is about people and their education, vision and assumed mission; the Apple Academic Team heartily succeed that in achieving the world class scholarly acclaim by the quality involvement in all chain of plus value added with each publishing event.
