First books from IOP Concise PhysicsTM collection published

IOP Publishing (IOP) and Morgan & Claypool have published the first books from their IOP Concise Physics collection.

• Defining and Measuring Nature – The make of all things
  Jeffrey H Williams
• Guide Through the Nanocarbon Jungle – Buckyballs, nanotubes, graphene and beyond
  David Tománek

Together, the books cover two large and important subject areas – measurement science and carbon nanotechnology.

IOP Concise Physics is one of two collections from the IOP ebooks^TM programme launched in 2013. They focus on shorter texts that are the "first book" on a topic and that aim to provide a rapid update on a developing area of research, or an introduction to a topic.

A further 23 books will be published in the IOP Concise Physics collection in 2014.

To coincide with the launch of these new books, IOP has introduced the whole-book download. This enables readers to download an entire book, or book chapters, in PDF or EPUB 3 format, providing greater flexibility in terms of how they access content, while also widening the impact of the authors’ work. IOP is one of the first STM publishers to offer whole-book download functionality in EPUB 3 format.
