Collected Essays 3
ISBN: 9781326484361 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book contains a collection of essays and articles by John Scales Avery discussing the severe problems and challenges which the world faces during the 21st century. Human civilization and the biosphere are threatened by catastrophic climate change. Unless rapid steps are taken to replace fossil fuels by 100% renewable energy, we risk passing a tipping point beyond which uncontrollable feedback loops could produce a 6th extinction event comparable to those observed in the geological record.
Another serious threat to human civilization and the biosphere is the danger of a catastrophic... This book contains a collection of essays and articles by John Scales Avery discussing the severe problems and challenges which the world faces during...

The Need for a New Economic System
ISBN: 9781326557621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is clear that our present economic system is unsustainable. Never-ending exponential industrial growth on a finite planet is a logical absurdity. We are already using resources at a rate which it would take 1.6 planet earths to replace. We are already undermining the ecological systems which support all of life. Our present economic system has led to an unbelievable degree of economic inequality. To maintain this inequality, both between nations and within nations, military force is used, and democracy is replaced by oligarchy. The future of human civilization is endangered both by the...

Space-Age Science and Stone-Age Politics
ISBN: 9781326557720 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Space-age science and stone-age politics make an extraordinarily dangerous mixture. It seems probable that in the future, the rapidity of scientificand technological change will produce ethical dilemmas and social tensions even more acute than those we experience today. It is likely that the fate of our species (and the fate of the biosphere) will be made precarious by the astonishing speed of scientific and technological change unless this progress is matched by the achievement of far greater ethical and political maturity than we have yet attained.

Information Theory and Evolution
ISBN: 9789812383990 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An interdisciplinary discussion of the phenomenon of life, including its origin and evolution (and also human cultural evolution), against the background of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and information theory. Among the central themes is the seeming contradiction between the second law of thermodynamics and the high degree of order and complexity produced by living systems. This paradox has its resolution in the information content of the Gibbs free energy that enters the biosphere from outside sources, as the author shows. The role of information in human cultural evolution is...

Generalized Sturmians and Atomic Spectra
ISBN: 9789812568069 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book describes the generalized Sturmian method, which offers a fresh approach to the calculation of atomic spectra. Generalized Sturmians are isoenergetic solutions to an approximate many-electron Schrodinger equation with a weighted potential. The weighting factors are chosen in such a way as to make all of the solutions correspond to a given energy. The advantage of such an isoenergetic basis set is that every basis function has the correct asymptotic behavior needed for efficient synthesis of the wave function. The book also discusses methods for automatic generation of...
