Uranus
ISBN: 9780816512089 / Angielski / Twarda / 1076 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Uranus occupies a unique niche in the history of western thought; for while the planets from Mercury to Saturn had been known since pre-antiquity, Uranus was the first to be discovered, in 1781, through scientific investigation. Contemporary investigation of Uranus culminated in the Voyager 2 encounter in 1986. The results of that achievement, as well of concurrent research on the planet, are reviewed by 84 international authorities in this massive volume. Because Uranus' remoteness has prevented its being studied as intensively by earth-based observation as have other members of the...

Hazards Due to Comets and Asteroids
ISBN: 9780816515059 / Angielski / Twarda / 1300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1993, the U.S. Department of Defense declassified information dealing with frequent explosions in the upper atmosphere caused by meteoric impact. It is estimated that impacts have occurred of a magnitude equivalent to the atomic bomb detonated at Hiroshima. Not all such space voyagers meet their end in the atmosphere, however; huge craters attest to the bombardment of earth over millions of years, and a major impact may have resulted in the extinction of dinosaurs. An impact in Siberia near the beginning of this century proves that such events are not confined to geologic time. Hazards...

The Planet Mars: A History of Observation and Discovery
ISBN: 9780816516414 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Twenty years after the Viking missions of the 70s, we are finally going back to Mars. No fewer than ten missions are planned for the period between 1996 and 2003, and it is likely that human explorers will follow soon after--perhaps by the middle of the twenty-first century. When they do, they will owe much to the Mars of romance, to the early pioneers whose discoveries and disappointments are brought to life in The Planet Mars: A History of Observation and Discovery. In this timely and vividly written account, William Sheehan traces human fascination with Mars back to the naked-eye...

The Tucson Meteorites: Their History from Frontier Arizona to the Smithsonian

The Tucson Meteorites the two known fragments totaling more that a ton of primordial space matter were discovered during the first half of the nineteenth century on the desolate Mexican frontier that later became Arizona. In this book, Richard R. Willey recounts the bizarre history of these meteorites and explores the mystery, unresolved to the present day, of where they fell to earth and whether more fragments remain to be found in the mountains of southern Arizona.
Willey tracks the meteorites through years of confiscation and disputed ownership to the Smithsonian Institution. "I had... The Tucson Meteorites the two known fragments totaling more that a ton of primordial space matter were discovered during the first half of the ninetee...

Pluto and Charon
ISBN: 9780816518401 / Angielski / Twarda / 728 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For five decades after its discovery in 1930, the planet Pluto remained an enigma. However, several events during the last two decades have helped to lift the veil of mystery surrounding the ninth planet. The discovery of its satellite, Charon, in 1978 permitted occultation observations that allowed scientists to determine the size of both bodies. Astronomers also detected the presence of an atmosphere, and the Hubble Space Telescope provided views in unprecedented detail. In addition to these two fortuitous events, advances in telescopic instrumentation and computational methods led to...

The Moon and the Western Imagination
ISBN: 9780816519897 / Angielski / Miękka / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Moon is at once a face with a thousand expressions and the archetypal planet. Throughout history it has been gazed upon by people of every culture in every walk of life. From early perceptions of the Moon as an abode of divine forces, humanity has in turn accepted the mathematized Moon of the Greeks, the naturalistic lunar portrait of Jan van Eyck, and the telescopic view of Galileo. Scott Montgomery has produced a richly detailed analysis of how the Moon has been visualized in Western culture through the ages, revealing the faces it has presented to philosophers, writers, artists,...

The Last of the Great Observatories: Spitzer and the Era of Faster, Better, Cheaper at NASA
ISBN: 9780816525584 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Spitzer Space Observatory, originally known as the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), is the last of the four Great Observatories, which also include the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Developed over twenty years and dubbed the Infrared Hubble," Spitzer was launched in the summer of 2003 and has since contributed significantly to our understanding of the universe. George Rieke played a key role in Spitzer and now relates the story of how that observatory was built and launched into space. Telling the story of this...

Science, Society, and the Search for Life in the Universe
ISBN: 9780816526130 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Are we alone in the universe? As humans, are we unique or are we part of a greater cosmic existence? What is life s future on Earth and beyond? How does life begin and develop? These are age-old questions that have inspired wonder and controversy ever since the first people looked up into the sky. With today s technology, however, we are closer than ever to finding the answers.
Astrobiology is the relatively new, but fast growing scientific discipline that involves trying to understand the origin, evolution, and distribution of life within the universe. It is also one of the few... Are we alone in the universe? As humans, are we unique or are we part of a greater cosmic existence? What is life s future on Earth and beyond? How do...

Death Stars, Weird Galaxies, and a Quasar-Spangled Universe: The Discoveries of the Very Large Array Telescope
ISBN: 9780826332110 / Angielski / Twarda / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1931, Karl Jansky was hired by AT&T to search for sources of static that might interfere with radio waves for transatlantic communications. Jansky identified static from thunderstorms and random radio noise from devices on Earth, but he also found a radio hiss from the Milky Way galaxy.
After World War II, astronomers constructed more radio telescopes with greater sensitivity to faint radio signals from space. In the 1970s, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory built the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope, on the plains of San Agustin, New Mexico. The VLA is well equipped to hunt...
