Seven Wonders of the Cosmos
ISBN: 9780521638982 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Our cosmic tour begins here. As we leave the secure confines of the Earth and journey into space, we find a plethora of strange and unexpected phenomena. Little can we anticipate from the quiet, star-studded sky the violent events in the cosmos. Stars explode. Powerful radio sources eject matter in jets. The ever-changing Universe grows more beautiful and more complex the deeper into it we go. Professor Narlikar skillfully steers us through a cosmic journey of discovery, starting from the Earth and Solar System and stepping out to the farthest reaches of the Universe. Using simple analogies,...

From Black Clouds to Black Holes (2nd Edition)
ISBN: 9789810220327 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book describes in nontechnical language one of the success stories of modern (twentieth-century) astronomy. It presents us with the physical picture of what constitutes a star, a description of how a star evolves with time, how its shape and brightness change, how it manufactures the chemical elements deep in its interior, what makes it explode... The presentation also includes exotic objects such as supernovae, pulsars, neutron stars and white dwarfs, and of course, black holes. This revised edition brings the discussion up to date with the inclusion of astronomical events like...

Violent Phenomena in the Universe
ISBN: 9780486457970 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Acclaimed by Nature as excellent and uncompromising, this lively narrative traces the development of modern cosmology. It ranges from gravitational theories of Newton and Einstein to recent discoveries -- supernovae, pulsars, X-ray sources, active galaxies, radio sources, and quasars -- and offers an in-depth exploration of the Big Bang. 1982 edition.

The Lighter Side of Gravity
ISBN: 9780521550093 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the drop of an apple to the stately dance of the galaxies, gravity is omnipresent in the Cosmos. Even with its high profile, gravity is the most enigmatic of all the known basic forces in nature. The Lighter Side of Gravity presents a beautifully clear and completely nontechnical introduction to the phenomenon of this force in all its manifestations. Astrophysicist Jayant Narlikar begins with an historical background to the discovery of the law of gravitation by Isaac Newton in the seventeenth century. Using familiar analogies, interesting anecdotes, and numerous illustrations to get...

Current Issues in Cosmology
ISBN: 9781107403437 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What are the current ideas describing the large-scale structure of the Universe? How do they relate to the observed facts? This book looks at both the strengths and weaknesses of the current big-bang model in explaining certain puzzling data. It arises from an international conference that brought together many of the world's leading players in cosmology. In addition to presenting individual talks, the proceedings of the resulting discussions are also recorded. Giving a comprehensive coverage of the expanding field of cosmology, this text will be valuable for graduate students and researchers...

Gravity, Gauge Theories and Quantum Cosmology
ISBN: 9789401085083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. For several decades since its inception, Einstein's general theory of relativity stood somewhat aloof from the rest of physics. Paradoxically, the attributes which normally boost a physical theory - namely, its perfection as a theoreti cal framework and the extraordinary intellectual achievement underlying i- prevented the general theory from being assimilated in the mainstream of physics. It was as if theoreticians hesitated to tamper with something that is manifestly so beautiful. Happily, two developments in the 1970s have narrowed the gap. In 1974 Stephen Hawking arrived at the remarkable...
