High-Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy: Past, Present and Future
ISBN: 9781489999375 / Angielski / Miękka / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for astrophysics since the launch of Chandra and XMM-Newton, ten years ago. The grating spectrometers on both instruments still continue to provide excellent data, while imaging calorimeters are being prepared for future missions like Astro-H and IXO. The synergy with other wavelength bands like the UV has been boosted by the addition of COS to HST. X-ray spectroscopy offers unique diagnostics to study almost any object in the Universe. This book contains review papers on highlights and the state-of-the-art of X-ray spectroscopy...

Becoming Planetary People: Celebrations of Earth, Art, & Spirit
ISBN: 9780996438704 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Becoming Planetary People carries forward Thomas Berry's project of infusing the scientific version of our origins with the poetry and majesty of ritualized religion. You will find in every corner of this little book rapturous psalms penned by Conlon. More importantly, the book adds to the growing chorus attempting to incorporate the beating heart of the "new story" into the theological body of classical Christianity. In this sense, the title of the book, "becoming planetary people," can be seen as an updating of the concept of "catholic"--a word that no longer automatically...

ISBN: 9781508650010 / Włoski / Miękka / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nella notte tra mercoledi 6 e giovedi 7 dicembre 1978 la Guardia Giurata Fortunato Zanfretta dell'Istituto di vigilanza privata "Val Bisagno" di Genova, fu trovato in stato di choc ed in preda ad un indicibile terrore nei pressi della villa Casa Nostra di Marzano di Torriglia, un piccolo centro sulle alture del capoluogo ligure. Quando si riprese, Zanfretta, racconto tremando di aver visto un "essere enorme, alto circa tre metri, con la pelle ondulata, come se fosse grasso o tuta molle, comunque grigia" che subito dopo volo via "in una gigantesca luce a forma di triangolo sormontata da...

The New Heavens
ISBN: 9781508931317 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fourteen years ago, in a book entitled -The Study of Stellar Evolution- (University of Chicago Press, 1908), I attempted to give in untechnical language an account of some modern methods of astrophysical research. This astronomy study is now out of print, and the rapid progress of science has left it completely out of date. As I have found no opportunity to prepare a new edition, or to write another book of similar purpose, I have adopted the simpler expedient of contributing occasional articles on recent developments to Scribner's Magazine, three of which are included in the present...

Zodiac Calendars in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Their Reception: Ancient Astronomy and Astrology in Early Judaism
ISBN: 9789004284050 / Angielski / Twarda / 556 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ancient mathematical basis of the Aramaic calendars in the Dead Sea Scrolls is analysed in this investigation. Helen R. Jacobus re-examines an Aramaic zodiac calendar with a thunder divination text (4Q318) and the calendar from the Aramaic Astronomical Book (4Q208 - 4Q209), all from Qumran. Jacobus demonstrates that 4Q318 is an ancestor of the Jewish calendar today and that it helps us to understand 4Q208 - 4Q209. She argues that these calendars were taught in antiquity as angelic knowledge described in 1 Enoch and the Book of Jubilees. The study also encompasses Babylonian,...

This includes a detailed discussion of the likely process by which life emerged using as much quantitative information as possible. The emergence of life and the prior surface conditions of the Earth have implications for the evolution of Earth s surface environment over the following 2-2.5 billion years. The last part of the book discusses how these changes took place and the evidence from the geologic record that supports this particular...
