The Pendulum Paradigm: Variations on a Theme and the Measure of Heaven and Earth
ISBN: 9781612337302 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The pendulum is perhaps the simplest experimental devices ever constructed, and yet for all its simplicity it has historically enabled scientists to both investigate and enumerate gravity; the fundamental force that shapes the very universe. The pendulum has also allowed astronomers and geologists to measure the motion, mass and distribution of matter within the Earth, and its stately swing is at the very heartbeat of time. This book explores the many applications of the pendulum, from its employment as a fundamental experimental device, such as in the Cavendish torsion balance for measuring...

Mind the Gap: The Labyrinthine Story of Planetary Orbits, Mathematics, and the Titius-Bode Rule
ISBN: 9789811276408 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is concerned with two tightly knit topics — those of mathematics and astronomy. Its focus is primarily concerned with planetary astronomy, and specifically the history of accounting for the spacing of planetary orbits. The story begins with the ancient Greek philosophers and continues to the modern era and the new data being gleaned from the study of exoplanetary systems. Throughout the text, the manner in which mathematical theory has been used to decipher, and impose order upon the solar system, will be examined. Attention and discussion will be directed towards the so-called...

William Frederick Denning
ISBN: 9783031444456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book provides a detailed biographical account of the industrious late nineteenth-century astronomer William Frederick Denning who, in later life, rose to be a celebrated public figure and a highly respected amateur astronomer. The book also examines Denning's many contributions to the astronomy of his time. As an indomitable promotor of amateur astronomy, Denning was closely involved in the formation of the short-lived, but historically pivotal, Observational Astronomy Society (OAS) in 1869. Readers will learn about the origins and the observational programs initiated by the...

The Wayward Comet: A Descriptive History of Cometary Orbits, Kepler's Problem and the Cometarium
ISBN: 9781627340649 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Comets have not only blazed across the celestial vault throughout human history, they have embellished the night sky since the Earth itself formed some 4.5 billion years ago. Comets were among the first-born solid bodies in the solar system, and their frozen nuclei tell of the primordial chemistry and chaos that ultimately resulted in the formation of the planets, the evolution of life and us. For all this, however, comets have long been celestial oddities: they baffled our distant ancestors, and human society continues to marvel and speculate wildly at their appearance even to the present...

The Physics of Invisibility: A Story of Light and Deception
ISBN: 9781461406150 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The ability is see is fundamental to our very existence. How true our perceptions really are depends upon many factors, and not least is our understanding of what light is and how it interacts with matter. It was said that the camera, the icon of light recording instruments, never lies, and in the day of the glass plate and celluloid roll-film this might well have been true. But in this modern era, with electronic cameras and computer software, it is often safe to assume that the camera always lies. The advertising images that bombard our every waking moment are manipulated in shape, profile,...

Alpha Centauri: Unveiling the Secrets of Our Nearest Stellar Neighbor
ISBN: 9783319093710 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. As our closest stellar companion and composed of two Sun-like stars and a third small dwarf star, Alpha Centauri is an ideal testing ground of astrophysical models and has played a central role in the history and development of modern astronomy-from the first guesses at stellar distances to understanding how our own star, the Sun, might have evolved. It is also the host of the nearest known exoplanet, an ultra-hot, Earth-like planet recently discovered. Just 4.4 light years away Alpha Centauri is also the most obvious target for humanity's first directed interstellar space probe. Such a...

Rejuvenating the Sun and Avoiding Other Global Catastrophes
ISBN: 9780387681283 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book is about an audacious idea: asteroengineering--literally, the physical engineering of a star, especially the star we call our Sun. It is an idea on the grandest of scales. Part science fiction, part science fact, asteroengineering is a response to a very definite and a very real problem, a problem that our distant descendants will one day have to face. It is also a universal problem that will be experienced - at some stage or other - by every extraterr- trial civilization that has or will exist. Indeed, the problem to be addressed resides within the parent stars of each and every...

The Large Hadron Collider: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe
ISBN: 9781441956675 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. It may at first seem that the world of subatomic physics is far removed from our every day lives. Isn't it all just a waste of time and taxpayers' money? Hopefully, all who read this book will come to a different conclusion. Collider physics is all about our origins, and this aspect alone makes it worthy of our very best attention. The experiments conducted within the vast collider chambers are at the forefront of humanity's quest to unweave the great tapestry that is the universe. Everything is connected. Within the macrocosm is the microcosm. By knowing how matter is structured, how atoms...
