An Ocean of Air: Why the Wind Blows and Other Mysteries of the Atmosphere
ISBN: 9780156034142 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. We don't just live in the air; we live because of it. It's the most miraculous substance on earth, responsible for our food, our weather, our water, and our ability to hear. In this exuberant book, gifted science writer Gabrielle Walker peels back the layers of our atmosphere with the stories of the people who uncovered its secrets:
- A flamboyant Renaissance Italian discovers how heavy our air really is: The air filling Carnegie Hall, for example, weighs seventy thousand pounds. - A one-eyed barnstorming pilot finds a set of winds that constantly blow five miles above our heads.... We don't just live in the air; we live because of it. It's the most miraculous substance on earth, responsible for our food, our weather, our water, a...

ISBN: 9780195044034 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work is based on the observation that further major advances in geochemistry, particularly in understanding the rules that govern the ways in which elements come together to form minerals and rocks, will require the application of the theories of quantum mechanics. The book therefore outlines this theoretical background and discusses the models used to describe bonding in geochemical systems. It is the first book to describe and critically review the application of quantum mechanical theories to minerals and geochemical systems. The book consolidates valuable findings from chemistry and...
