In 1616, Frances Howard and her husband the Earl of Somerset were found guilty of the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. Frances Howard was branded a lewd woman, a wife, a witch, a murderess and a whore, and has gone down in history as the model of female villainy. But has she been misjudged? In a fascinating examination of both the historical evidence and cultural representations of Howard, David Lindley presents important new insights into the case against her. In doing so, he challenges the assumptions that have constructed Howard as a deviant...

Where Does the Weirdness Go?: Why Quantum Mechanics Is Strange, But Not as Strange as You Think
ISBN: 9780465067862 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Few revolutions in science have been more far-reaching--but less understood--than the quantum revolution in physics. Everyday experience cannot prepare us for the sub-atomic world, where quantum effects become all-important. Here, particles can look like waves, and vice versa; electrons seem to lose their identity and instead take on a shifting, unpredictable appearance that depends on how they are being observed; and a single photon may sometimes behave as if it could be in two places at once. In the world of quantum mechanics, uncertainty and ambiguity become not just unavoidable, but...

The Tempest
ISBN: 9781107021525 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The Song of Myself: A New Verse Translation of the Bhagavad Gita with an Introduction, Notes on the Text and a Concluding Essay
ISBN: 9781907100048 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Song of Myself, whose title takes its cue from Walt Whitman's celebration of the self, Song of Myself, is a modern, free-flowing verse rendition of the classic Sanskrit text, The Bhagavad Gita. It provides a fresh reading of a much translated work that has become overlaid with both Eastern and Western ideas of spirituality which have obscured, and sometimes distorted, the central teaching: to know what the self is, what action is and what non-action is. In this new translation the author has sought to make those ideas clear through a readable verse translation that does not sacrifice...

The End of Physics: The Myth of a Unified Theory
ISBN: 9780465019762 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For more than a century physicists have hoped that they were closing in on the Holy Grail of modern science: a unified theory that would make sense of the entire physical world, from the subnuclear realm of quarks and gluons to the very moment of creation of the universe. The End of Physics is a history of the attempts to find such a "theory of everything"; a forceful argument it will never be found; and a warning that the compromises necessary to produce a final theory may well undermine the rules of good science.At the heart of Lindley's story is the rise of the particle physicists...

Ludwig Boltz-mann battled with philosophers, the scientific establishment, and his own potent demons. His victory led the way to the greatest...
