The Self Made Tapestry: Pattern Formation in Nature
ISBN: 9780198502432 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For centuries, scientists have struggled to understand the origins of the patterns and forms found in nature. Now, in this lucid and accessibly written book, Philip Ball applies state-of-the-art scientific understanding from the fields of biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and mathematics to these ancient mysteries, revealing how nature's seemingly complex patterns originate in simple physical laws. Tracing the history of scientific thought about natural patterns, Ball shows how common presumptions--for example, that complex form must be guided by some intelligence or that form always...

Critical Mass: How One Thing Leads to Another
ISBN: 9780374530419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Are there "natural laws" that govern the ways in which humans behave and organize themselves, just as there are physical laws that govern the motions of atoms and planets? Unlikely as it may seem, such laws now seem to be emerging from attempts to bring the tools and concepts of physics into the social sciences. These new discoveries are part of an old tradition. In the seventeenth century the philosopher Thomas Hobbes, dismayed by the impending civil war in England, decided that he would work out what kind of government was needed for a stable society. His solution sparked a new way of... Are there "natural laws" that govern the ways in which humans behave and organize themselves, just as there are physical laws that govern the motio... |

Invisible: The History of the Unseen from Plato to Particle Physics
ISBN: 9780099590439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. If you could be invisible, what would you do? The chances are that it would have something to do with power, wealth or sex. Perhaps all three. But there's no need to feel guilty. Impulses like these have always been at the heart of our fascination with invisibility: it points to realms beyond our senses, serves as a receptacle for fears and dreams, and hints at worlds where other rules apply. Invisibility is a mighty power and a terrible curse, a sexual promise, a spiritual condition. This is a history of humanity's turbulent relationship with the invisible. It takes on the myths and morals...

The Music Instinct: How Music Works and Why We Can't Do Without It

From Bach fugues to Indonesian gamelan, from nursery rhymes to rock, music has cast its light into every corner of human culture. But why music excites such deep passions, and how we make sense of musical sound at all, are questions that have until recently remained unanswered. Now in The Music Instinct, award-winning writer Philip Ball provides the first comprehensive, accessible survey of what is known--and still unknown--about how music works its magic, and why, as much as eating and sleeping, it seems indispensable to humanity. Deftly weaving together the latest findings...
