Time and Age: Time Machines, Relativity and Fossils
ISBN: 9781783265848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Time and Age explores how time is defined by man. It follows the development of our means for measuring time from early methods using the flow of water or the steady burning of candles through to the atomic clock that records time with incredible precision.The classical idea of time as something that progresses at a uniform rate and as something that is the same to all observers was overturned by Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The conclusions coming from this theory are described, including the anti-intuitive twin paradox where one twin, returning from a journey to a distant star, is...

ISBN: 9781783265213 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This fully-updated second edition remains the only truly detailed exploration of the origins of our Solar System, written by an authority in the field. Unlike other authors, Michael Woolfson focuses on the formation of the solar system, engaging the reader in an intelligent yet accessible discussion of the development of ideas about how the Solar System formed from ancient times to the present.Within the last five decades new observations and new theoretical advances have transformed the way scientists think about the problem of finding a plausible theory. Spacecraft and landers have explored...

ISBN: 9781848167629 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

Materials, Matter and Particles: A Brief History
ISBN: 9781848164598 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book traces the history of ideas about the nature of matter and also the way that mankind has used material resources that the world offers. Starting with the ideas of ancient civilizations that air, earth, fire and water were the basic ingredients of all matter, it traces the development of the science of chemistry beginning within the ranks of the alchemists. First, the idea of elements grew and then the atomic nature of matter was verified. Physicists had entered the scene, showing the nature of atoms in terms of fundamental particles and then introducing the concept of wave-particle...

A Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Models of Planet Formation
ISBN: 9781786342720 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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.

Resonance: Applications in Physical Science
ISBN: 9781783265381 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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,...

Fundamentals of Imaging, The: From Particles to Galaxies
ISBN: 9781848166844 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

Time, Space, Stars and Man: The Story of the Big Bang
ISBN: 9781848162730 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

ISBN: 9781848169333 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The three greatest scientific mysteries, which remain poorly understood, are the origin of the universe, the origin of life and the development of consciousness. This book describes the processes preceding the Big Bang, the creation of matter, the concentration of that matter into stars and planets, the development of simple life forms and the theory of evolution that has given higher life forms, including mankind.There are many popular and excellent science books that present various aspects of science. However, this book follows a narrow scientific pathway from the Big Bang to mankind, and...

ISBN: 9781860948244 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...
