The Cassini-Huygens Mission: Volume 1: Overview, Objectives and Huygens Instrumentarium
ISBN: 9789048162086 / Angielski / Miękka / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The exploration of the planets is the modem counterpart to the exploration voy ages of old. To reach the new world Columbus had to secure funding from Queen Isabella, outfit his three ships and set sail on a long journey. To explore the Amer ican Pacific Northwest, Lewis and Clark had a similar task of obtaining funding, purchasing equipment and going to points unknown, even though their path was across land and not sea. Today our journey is through space, rather than across land or sea, but we still travel with ships, now spaceworthy craft, rather than seaworthy. Our spacecraft are smaller...

Comets: Nature, Dynamics, Origin, and Their Cosmogonical Relevance
ISBN: 9789048168835 / Angielski / Miękka / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Comets are small bodies, but of great cosmic relevance. Given its pristine nature, they may preserve valuable and unique information on thechemical and physical processes that took place in theearly solar system, and that may be occurring in the formation of other planetary systems. They might have even played a very important role in the origin of life on Earth. Beyond that, since ancient times comets have inspired awe, superstition, and also curiosity anddebate. Their sudden apparitions challenged the long-held view of the immutability of the heavens, which triggered a long debate on...

ISBN: 9789042031418 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The twentieth century saw many revolutions. Various transformations in the political, economic, social, technological and artistic domains not only inaugurated new eras, or at least discourses about new eras; they also often entailed a radical reorientation in the very conceptions by which any revolution could be thought. This beautifully edited collection of essays addresses itself to the particular revolution by which we came to understand the unity of space and time as ontological categories. The twelve papers collected in this volume explore the consequences of conceptions of time and its...

Das epochemachende Werk des groen deutschen Astronomen liegt nun in einem sorgfaltig ausgestatteten Nachdruck vor. Kepler hat sich viele Jahre mit der Frage nach dem Zusammenhang zwischen Umlaufzeit und Abstand eines Planeten von der Sonne beschaftigt und vermutet, dass der Aufbau des Planetensystems mathematisch ausdruckbar sein musse. Nach muhevollem Suchen verkundet er die Bestatigung seiner Vermutung in dem Gesetz, dass es fur alle Planeten ein konstantes Verhaltnis zwischen dem Quadrat der Umlaufzeit und der dritten Potenz des mittleren Abstandes gibt. Dieses 3. Planetengesetz Keplers...

Foothold in the Heavens: The Seventies
ISBN: 9781441963413 / Angielski / Miękka / 533 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foothold in the Heavens, the second volume in the A History of Human Space Exploration series, focuses upon the 1970s, the decade in which humanity established real, longterm foothold in the heavens with the construction and operation of the first space stations. It marked a transitional phase between the heady, race-to-the-Moon days of the Sixties and efforts to make space travel more economical, more frequent and more 'routine.' Space exploration in the Seventies, although dominated by Soviet achievement, saw the first efforts of mankind to really 'live' and work in space, producing results...

This occurred in spite of - ductions of ozone precursor emissions in Europe during the 1990s due to European and national environmental legislation. And with European air quality limit values having become more and more stringent over time, the question arises, to what - tent emission control measures will have to be implemented to achieve compliance with short and long term targets...
