Niels Bohr and the Quantum Atom: The Bohr Model of Atomic Structure 1913-1925
ISBN: 9780199654987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Niels Bohr and the Quantum Atom is the first book that focuses in detail on the birth and development of Bohr's atomic theory and gives a comprehensive picture of it. At the same time it offers new insight into Bohr's peculiar way of thinking, what Einstein once called his 'unique instinct and tact'. Contrary to most other accounts of the Bohr atom, the book presents it in a broader perspective which includes the reception among other scientists and the criticism launched against it by scientists of a more conservative inclination. Moreover, it discusses the theory as Bohr originally...

Matter and Spirit in the Universe: Scientific and Religious Preludes to Modern Cosmology
ISBN: 9781860944697 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cosmology is an unusual science with an unusual history. This book examines the formative years of modern cosmology from the perspective of its interaction with religious thought. As the first study of its kind, it reveals how closely associated the development of cosmology has been with considerations of a philosophical and religious nature. From nineteenth-century thermodynamics to the pioneering cosmological works of Georges Lemaître and Arthur E Milne, religion has shaped parts of modern cosmological theory. By taking the religious component seriously, a new and richer history of...

Conceptions of Cosmos: From Myths to the Accelerating Universe: A History of Cosmology
ISBN: 9780199209163 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a historical account of how natural philosophers and scientists have endeavoured to understand the universe at large, first in a mythical and later in a scientific context.

Varying Gravity: Dirac's Legacy in Cosmology and Geophysics
ISBN: 9783319243771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The main focus of this book is on the interconnection of two unorthodox scientific ideas, the varying-gravity hypothesis and the expanding-earth hypothesis. As such, it provides a fascinating insight into a nearly forgotten chapter in both the history of cosmology and the history of the earth sciences. The hypothesis that the force of gravity decreases over cosmic time was first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1937. In this book the author examines in detail the historical development of Dirac's hypothesis and its consequences for the structure and history of the earth, the most important...

Masters of the Universe: Conversations with Cosmologists of the Past
ISBN: 9780198722892 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How did our modern picture of the universe come into being? Masters of the Universe tells this fascinating story in an unusual format that blends factual and fictional elements. It is based on a series of interviews that a fictional person conducted with leading astronomers and physicists between 1913 and 1965. Among the interviewed scientists are giants such as Albert Einstein, Edwin Hubble, and George Gamow, but also scientists who are less well known today or not primarily known as cosmologists such as Karl Schwarzschild, Paul Dirac, and Svante Arrhenius. By following the interviews the...

Cosmology and Controversy: The Historical Development of Two Theories of the Universe
ISBN: 9780691005461 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. For over three millennia, most people could understand the universe only in terms of myth, religion, and philosophy. Between 1920 and 1970, cosmology transformed into a branch of physics. With this remarkably rapid change came a theory that would finally lend empirical support to many long-held beliefs about the origins and development of the entire universe: the theory of the big bang. In this book, Helge Kragh presents the development of scientific cosmology for the first time as a historical event, one that embroiled many famous scientists in a controversy over the very notion of an...

Quantum Generations: A History of Physics in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780691095523 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. At the end of the nineteenth century, some physicists believed that the basic principles underlying their subject were already known, and that physics in the future would only consist of filling in the details. They could hardly have been more wrong. The past century has seen the rise of quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, particle physics, and solid-state physics, among other fields. These subjects have fundamentally changed our understanding of space, time, and matter. They have also transformed daily life, inspiring a technological revolution that has included the development of...

Niels Bohr: On the Constitution of Atoms and Molecules
ISBN: 9783030976637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Niels Bohr’s atomic theory of 1913 is one of the absolute highlights in the history of modern science. It was only with this work that physicists realized that quantum theory is an essential ingredient in atomic physics, and it was also only with this work that Rutherford’s nuclear model dating from 1911 was transformed into a proper theory of atomic structure. In a longer perspective, Bohr’s quantum atom of 1913 gave rise to the later Heisenberg-Schrödinger quantum mechanics and all its marvellous consequences. This book is a detailed account of the origin of the Bohr atom centred... Niels Bohr’s atomic theory of 1913 is one of the absolute highlights in the history of modern science.

Higher Speculations: Grand Theories and Failed Revolutions in Physics and Cosmology
ISBN: 9780198726371 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Throughout history, people have tried to construct 'theories of everything': highly ambitious attempts to understand nature in its totality. This account presents these theories in their historical contexts, from little-known hypotheses from the past to modern developments such as the theory of superstrings, the anthropic principle, and ideas of many universes, and uses them to problematize the limits of scientific knowledge. Do claims to theories of everything belong to science at all? Which are the epistemic standards on which an alleged scientific theory of the universe - or the multiverse...

Entropic Creation: Religious Contexts of Thermodynamics and Cosmology
ISBN: 9780754664147 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Entropic Creation is the first English-language book to consider the cultural and religious responses to the second law of thermodynamics, from around 1860 to 1920. According to the second law of thermodynamics, as formulated by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius, the entropy of any closed system will inevitably increase in time, meaning that the system will decay and eventually end in a dead state of equilibrium. Application of the law to the entire universe, first proposed in the 1850s, led to the prediction of a future 'heat death', where all life has ceased and all organization...
