Time, Space, Stars and Man: The Story of the Big Bang
ISBN: 9781848162730 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most well-read, but non-scientific, people will have heard of the term “Big Bang” as a description of the origin of the Universe. They will recognize that DNA identifies individuals and will know that the origin of life is one of the great unsolved scientific mysteries. This book brings together all of that material. Starting with the creation of space and time — known as the Big Bang — the book traces causally related steps through the formation of matter, of stars and planets, the Earth itself, the evolution of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and then...

Colour: How We See It and How We Use It
ISBN: 9781786340849 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Colour makes our lives more interesting — how dull it would be in a black-and-white world It pleases us aesthetically, entertains us and is useful to us. This unique book aims to describe the scientific nature of colour and light, and how we see it, in an accessible and easily understandable style. The evolution of the eye, science of colour and technical visual systems are all broken down into readable chapters, with clear images and illustrations provided for reference. The book then goes on to discuss the innate tendency of humankind to produce artistic works as conceived, realised...

Fundamentals of Imaging, The: From Particles to Galaxies
ISBN: 9781848166844 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is through images that we understand the form and function of material objects, from the fundamental particles that are the constituents of matter to galaxies that are the constituents of the Universe. Imaging must be thought of in a flexible way as varying from just the detection of objects — a blip on a screen representing an aircraft or a vapour trail representing the passage of an exotic particle — to displaying the fine detail in the eye of an insect or the arrangement of atoms within or on the surface of a solid. The range of imaging tools, both in the type of wave...

A Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Models of Planet Formation
ISBN: 9781786342737 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Nebula Theory, at present the standard model of planet formation, proposes that a star and planets are derived from a single spinning nebula. Woolfson here introduces an alternative, the Capture Theory, in which planets are produced from a protostar tidally disrupted by a condensed star which 'captures' most of the formed planets into orbits.

Everyday Probability and Statistics: Health, Elections, Gambling and War (2nd Edition)
ISBN: 9781848167629 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Probability and statistics impinge on the life of the average person in a variety of ways — as is suggested by the title of this book. Very often information is provided that is factually accurate but intended to give a biased view. This book presents the important results of probability and statistics without making heavy mathematical demands on the reader. It should enable an intelligent reader to properly assess statistical information and to understand that the same information can be presented in different ways.In this second edition the author presents a new chapter exploring...

Formation of the Solar System, The: Theories Old and New
ISBN: 9781860948244 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book traces the development of ideas about the origin of the Solar System from ancient times to the present day. A survey of more modern ideas, covering the last 200 years or so, highlights the difficulties experienced by theories and also points the way towards the development of a more successful theory. In particular, the current “standard model” — the Solar Nebula Theory — is examined and discussed in some detail. After more than thirty years of development, this theory has still not settled down into an agreed form, as it experiences both theoretical...

Resonance: Applications in Physical Science
ISBN: 9781783265381 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores a large number of resonance effects that occur both in everyday life and in scientific contexts. It is a topic that provides a cross-link between many branches of science and shows how a single scientific principle can manifest itself in many, apparently disparate, ways.Resonance covers fields as diverse as civil engineering in relation to the safety of bridges, the quality of sound from musical instruments, the behaviour of electrical circuits, lasers, the orbits of solar-system bodies, the scattering of X-rays from atoms and the exploration of the structures of molecules,...

Physical and Non-Physical Methods of Solving Crystal Structures
ISBN: 9780521412995 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Michael Woolfson and Fan Hai-fu describe all the available methods of solving crystal structure and how they are used. In addition to traditional means such as the use of the Patterson function and isomorphous replacement, and the direct methods, the authors include techniques that use anomalous scattering and observations from multiple-beam scattering. The fundamental physics and mathematical analyses are fully explained. Practical aspects of applying the methods are also emphasized.

The Origin and Evolution of the Solar System
ISBN: 9780750304573 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The origin of the solar system has been a matter for speculation for many centuries, and since the time of Newton it has been possible to apply scientific principles to the problem. A succession of theories - starting with that of Pierre Laplace in 1796 - have gained general acceptance, only to fall from favour due to their contradiction in some basic scientific principle or new heavenly observation.

A succession of theories, starting with that of Pierre Laplace in 1796, has gained general acceptance, only to fall from favor due to its contradiction in some basic scientific principle or new heavenly observation. Modern observations by spacecraft of the solar system, the stars, and extra-solar planetary systems continuously provide new information that may be helpful in finding a plausible theory as well as...
