God's Universe
ISBN: 9780674023703 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We live in a universe with a very long history, a vast cosmos where things are being worked out over unimaginably long ages. Stars and galaxies have formed, and elements come forth from great stellar cauldrons. The necessary elements are present, the environment is fit for life, and slowly life forms have populated the earth. Are the creative forces purposeful, and in fact divine? Owen Gingerich believes in a universe of intention and purpose. We can at least conjecture that we are part of that purpose and have just enough freedom that conscience and responsibility may be part of...

Książka, której nikt nie przeczytał
ISBN: 9788378867494 / Polski / broszurowa / 2023 / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Z przyjemnością informuje, ze mylą się ci, którzy utrzymują, że O obrotach sfer niebieskich Mikołaja Kopernika to książka, której nikt nie przeczytał. Na uzyskanie pewności w tej sprawie potrzebowałem blisko dziesięć lat, trzydzieści lat zajęło mi staranne udokumentowanie wpływu tego dzieła. Koniec końców miałem do czynienia z egzemplarzami, których właścicielami byli: święci, heretycy, nicponie, muzycy, gwiazdy filmowe, lekarze i maniakalni bibliofile. Jednak najbardziej interesujące są te kopie należące niegdyś do astronomów i pokryte ich notatkami....

Nicolaus Copernicus: Making the Earth a Planet
ISBN: 9780195161731 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Born in Poland in 1473, Nicolaus Copernicus launched a quiet revolution. No scientist so radically transformed our understanding of our place in the universe as this curious bishop's doctor and church official. In his quest to discover a beautiful and coherent system to describe the motions of the planets, Copernicus placed the sun in the center of the system and made the earth a planet traveling around the sun. Today it is hard to imagine our solar system any other way, but for his time Copernicus's idea was earthshaking. In 1616 the church banned his book Revolutions because it contradicted...

Copernicus: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199330966 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) is a pivotal figure in the birth of modern science, the astronomer who "stopped the sun and set the earth in motion." Born in Poland, educated at Cracow and then in Italy, he served all of his adult life as a church administrator. His vision of a sun-centered universe, shocking to many and unbelievable to most, turned out to be the essential blueprint for a physical understanding of celestial motions, thereby triggering what is commonly called "the Copernican revolution." A first edition of his world-changing treatise, De Revolutionibus Orbium...

God's Planet
ISBN: 9780674417106 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With exoplanets being discovered daily, Earth is still the only planet we know of that is home to creatures who seek a coherent explanation for the structure, origins, and fate of the universe, and of humanity's place within it. Today, science and religion are the two major cultural entities on our planet that share this goal of coherent understanding, though their interpretation of evidence differs dramatically. Many scientists look at the known universe and conclude we are here by chance. The renowned astronomer and historian of science Owen Gingerich looks at the same evidence--along...
