人类正面临着前所未有的能源危机所带来的各种挑战，例如，人类生存离不开煤炭、石油、天然气等化石能源，然而这些能源都是不可再生能源，越用越少，与此同时，却产生了大量的热能被浪费，故而，自由调控热能一直是人类的一个梦想，热超构材料（thermal metamaterial）正是为此梦想应运而生。热超构材料是一类人工设计的结构功能材料，其设计理论被国内外同行公认为起源于2008年诞生的变换热学理论。变换热学理论是指通过两种不同空间之间的坐标变换，从而实现的把空间几何结构参数精确耦合进热导率等热学参量的一种理论方法。十几年来，随着国内外相关研究的持续深入，热超构材料理论已经冲出变换热学理论框架，取得了若干新突破。本书将介绍基于热超构材料理论设计的24种具有代表性的热能调控技术，其覆盖了宏观尺度热传递的三种基本形式，即热传导、热对流和热辐射。针对这些技术的理论设计，本书还给出计算机仿真模拟结果和部分实验室实验验证，并详细介绍这些技术的要点、背景、内容和实施方式。至于理论设计背后详细的公式推导过程，则在习题中介绍或提供具体线索，以方便有兴趣者参考、跟进。 本书可作为物理学、动力工程及工程热物理、材料科学与工程三个一级学科研究人员的参考资料，亦可作为高等院校、科研院所本科生或研究生热力学？统计物理、传热学或工程热力学、材料热力学或结构材料学与功能材料学等课程的教辅，甚或教材。

这是一本阐述控制论的理论和它在各方面应用的综合性、概论性的书。作者维纳是控制论的创始人之一，他就是通过本书奠定了“控制论”这门新兴学科的基础。书中关于怎样把机械元件和电器元件组成稳定的、具有特定性能的自动控制系统，关于怎样用统计方法研究信息的传递和加工等方面的讨论，对于自动控制、通讯工程、计算技术等方面有关的科学工作者有重要参考价值。

This new fourth edition retains the two-volume format，which has been generally well received，with broadly the same allocation of content as in the third edition. The principal new additions are，once again，dictated by substantial new experimental results - namely，in the areas of CP violation and neutrino oscillations，where great progress was made in the first decade of this century. Volume 2 now includes a new chapter devoted to CP violation and oscillations in mesonic and neutrino systems.Partly by way of preparation for this，volume 1 also contains a new chapter，on Lorentz transformations and discrete symmetries.We give a simple do-it-yourself treatment of Lorentz transformations of Dirac spinors，which the reader can connect to the group theory approach in appendix M of volume 2; the transformation properties of bilinear covariants are easily managed. We also introduce Majorana fermions at an early stage.This material is suitable for first courses on relativistic quantum mechanics，and perhaps should have been included in earlier editions （we thank a referee for urging its inclusion now）.To make room for the new chapter in volume 1，the two introductory chapters of the third edition have been condensed into a single one，in the knowledge that excellent introductions to the basic facts of particle physics are available elsewhere. Otherwise，apart from correcting the known minor errors and misprints，the only other changes in volume 1 are some minor improve-ments in presentation，and appropriate updates on experimental numbers.Volume 2 contains significantly more in the way of updates and additions，as will be detailed in the Preface to that volume. But we have continued to omit discussion of speculations going beyond the Standard Model; after all，the cru-cial symmetry-breaking （Higgs） sector has only now become experimentally accessible.

The main focus of the second volume of this fourth edition，as in the third，is on the two non-Abelian quantum gauge field theories of the Standard Model -that is，QCD and the electroweak theory of Glashow，Salam and Weinberg，We preserve the same division into four parts： non-Abelian symmetries，both global and local; QCD and the renormalization group; spontaneously broken symmetry; and weak interaction phenomenology and the electroweak theory.However，the book has always combined theoretical development with dis-cussion of relevant experimental results. And it is on the experimental side that most progress has been made in the ten years since the third edition appeared-first of all，in the study of CP violation in B-meson physics，and in neutrino oscillations. The inclusion of these results，and the increasing im-portance of the topics，have required some reorganization，and a new chapter （21） devoted wholly to them. We concentrate mainly on CP violation in B-meson decays，particularly on the determination of the angles of the unitarity triangle from B-meson oscillations.CP-violation in K-meson systems is also discussed. In the neutrino sector，we describe some of the principal experi-ments which have led to our current knowledge of the mass-squared differencesand the mixing angles.In discussing weak interaction phenomenology，we keep in view the possibility that neutrinos may turn out to be Majorana particles，an outcome for which we have prepared the reader in （new） chapters 4 and 7 of volume 1.

Much has （or has not） happened in the seven years or so since the publication of the first edition of this book. Most notably， a new spin-0 particle with mass~125 GeV was discovered at the LHC by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations， which is either the elementary Higgs boson or something that closely resembles it. The Higgs discovery completes the ≥40 year saga of verifying the standard model （SM）. Moreover， its mass is almost maximally interesting： it is near the top of the range predicted by the most popular SM extension，minimal supersymmetry， and near the minimum value consistent with the unextended SM （and then only if the vacuum is metastable）！However， the notorious problems of the SM are still unresolved. Perhaps the most press-ing is the apparently fine-tuned hierarchy between the weak interaction and gravity scales.Extensive searches at the LHC and elsewhere have so far not yielded any compelling evidence for new TeV-scale physics such as supersymmetry， extra space dimensions， or strong cou-pling that had been proposed to explain or at least stabilize the hierarchy. Equally puzzling is the nature of the dark energy and its incredibly tiny magnitude compared to most theo-retical expectations. Similarly， numerous experimental attempts to identify the mysterious dark matter inferred from its gravitational effects have not as yet had any positive results and have excluded much of the parameter space for supersymmetric dark matter. And de-spite the great experimental success of the SM， it is a very complicated theory， involving severalinteractions with different properties， and two apparently superfl.uous heavier copies of the fundamental particles that constitute ordinary matter under ordinary conditions. For these and other reasons， many theorists have started exploring less canonical possibilities，such as a dark matter sector that is at most very weakly coupled to ordinary particles，or， more radically， that the Universe is part of a vast multiverse of regions （presumably associated with a superstring landscape of vacua with different laws of physics.
