Setting Aside All Authority: Giovanni Battista Riccioli and the Science Against Copernicus in the Age of Galileo
ISBN: 9780268206840 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Setting Aside All Authority is an important account and analysis of seventeenth-century scientific arguments against the Copernican system. Christopher M. Graney challenges the long-standing ideas that opponents of the heliocentric ideas of Copernicus and Galileo were primarily motivated by religion or devotion to an outdated intellectual tradition, and that they were in continual retreat in the face of telescopic discoveries. Graney calls on newly translated works by anti-Copernican writers of the time to demonstrate that science, not religion, played an important, and arguably...

General Relativistic and Post-Newtonian Dynamics for Near-Earth Objects and Solar System Bodies
ISBN: 9783030801878 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Owing to the increased accuracy requirements in fields such as astrometry and geodesy the general theory of relativity must be taken into account for any mission requiring highly accurate orbit information and for practically all observation and measurement techniques.This book highlights the confluence of Applied Mathematics, Physics and Space Science as seen from Einstein's general theory of relativity and aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and applied domains. The book investigates three distinct areas of general relativity:Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations of...

Understanding Relativity: A Conceptual Journey Into Spacetime, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves
ISBN: 9783031172182 / Angielski / Twarda / 421 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book bridges the huge gap between popular science and mathematical treatments of Einstein's theories. It explains special and general relativity, gravity, black holes, and gravitational waves, also presenting current ideas about dark matter and dark energy. The explanations are entirely non-mathematical, using many color pictures and clear concepts. In this way, the reader is led to a much deeper understanding than any popular science book can provide.The author has written this book for everyone who wants to go beyond superficial descriptions of relativity's remarkable phenomena, but is...

Sky and Earth: Travelling with Dante Alighieri and Marco Polo
ISBN: 9783031186103 / Angielski / Miękka / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 700 years after Dante Alighieri's death, this book intertwines the voice of the great poet with that of an exceptional contemporary, Marco Polo, who was equally curious about the geography of both earthly and celestial worlds. If Polo was the “ordinary genius” of the XIII century, the designation of “sorcerer genius” must go to Alighieri, the man with encyclopedic wisdom, at ease with his era’s philosophy, theology, and science. The sorcerer genius—well versed in this world—must create their own, which he did withThe Divine Comedy. On the other hand,The Travels of Marco Polo,...

From Geocentric to Heliocentric: How Discoveries Are Made
ISBN: 9789811677816 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Has anyone ever seen with their own eyes that the Earth goes around the sun? Even to this day, no one has. However, 500 and even 2000 years ago, some astronomers managed to point out that this is the case. At that time, people’s range of activities was strictly confined, the technology and tools used were extremely primitive, and many of the mathematical methods used today had not been developed. How did those astronomers make and verify this discovery?This book explains this exciting demonstration process. It enables anyone with a basic junior-high-school knowledge of geometry and a...
