A trio of editors Professors from Austria, Germany and Israel] present Life on Earth and other Planetary Bodies. The contributors are from twenty various countries and present their research on life here as well as the possibility for extraterrestrial life. This volume covers concepts such as life s origin, hypothesis of Panspermia and of life possibility in the Cosmos. The topic of extraterrestrial life is currently hot and the object of several congresses and conferences. While the diversity of normal biota is well known, life on the edge of the extremophiles is more limited and less...

This textbook highlights mechanisms, properties, observations, and research progress of solar and stellar rotation. The rotation of stars is a basic parameter that enters into the dynamo mechanisms that generates stellar activity. The faster stars rotate the higher stellar activity. Moreover, the rotation can also be used to determine stellar ages. Only in the case of the Sun we can directly observe details and therefore determine, e.g., the differential rotation. Thus, the Sun is a prototype for studying other stars. The textbook presents techniques that enable to determine rotation on...

In all epochs of history, questions such as: What is our place in the universe, how did it all begin, can science describe everything, could we find a formula that describes everything, are we alone in the universe, have been asked.
This book offers a journey into how our understanding of the world and the cosmos, has evolved. We begin with the myths of ancient civilizations, through philosophical approaches to the frontiers of modern physics. The reader is familiarized with both quantum physics and the general theory of relativity, without much mathematical baggage. The book...
