Equations of Motion in General Relativity
ISBN: 9780199584109 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The problem of motion of extended bodies in General Relativity is notorious for its analytical difficulty, but at the same time highly relevant for comparison of theoretical predictions with modern precision measurements in relativistic astrophysics and cosmology. Its one of the most important topics in General Relativity and its application to astrophysics.
Equations of Motion in General Relativity focuses attention on two aspects of equations of motion in general relativity: the motion of extended bodies (stars) and the motion of small black holes. The objective is to offer a guide to... The problem of motion of extended bodies in General Relativity is notorious for its analytical difficulty, but at the same time highly relevant for co...

Here Be Dragons
ISBN: 9780195128529 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The discovery of life on other planets would be perhaps the most momentous revelation in human history, more disorienting and more profound than either the Copernican or Darwinian revolutions, which knocked the earth from the center of the universe and humankind from its position of lofty self-regard. In Here Be Dragons, astronomer David Koerner and neurobiologist Simon LeVay offer a scientifically compelling and colorful account of the search for life beyond Earth.
The authors survey the work of biologists, cosmologists, computer theorists, NASA engineers, SETI researchers, roboticists,... The discovery of life on other planets would be perhaps the most momentous revelation in human history, more disorienting and more profound than eithe...

The Music of the Big Bang: The Cosmic Microwave Background and the New Cosmology
ISBN: 9783642097492 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since its infancy, humankind has been seeking answers to some very basic and profound questions. Did the Universe begin? If it did, how old is it, and where did it come from? What is its shape? What is it made of? Fascinating myths and brilliant in- itions attempting to solve such enigmas can be found all through the history of human thought. Every culture has its own legends, itsownworldcreationtales, itsphilosophicalspeculations, itsre- gious beliefs. Modern science, however, cannot content itself with fanciful explanations, no matter how suggestive they are. No- days, our theories...

Fundamental Astronomy
ISBN: 9780387975672 / Angielski / Miękka / 478 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The main purpose of this book is to serve as a university textbook for a first course in astronomy. However, we believe that the audience will also include many serious ama teurs, who often find the popular texts too trivial. The lack of a good handbook for am ateurs has become a problem lately, as more and more people are buying personal com puters and need exact, but comprehensible, mathematical formalism for their programs. The reader of this book is assumed to have only a standard high-school knowledge of mathematics and physics (as they are taught in Finland); everything more advanced is...

Come Si Osserva Il Sole: Metodi E Tecniche Per l'Astronomo Non Professionista
ISBN: 9788847016262 / Włoski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Solo fino a vent'anni fa, un filmato dell'attivita cromosferica della nostra stella, dell'evoluzione di una protuberanza o di un gruppo di macchie, era prerogativa dell'astronomo professionista, dotato di un telescopio di buon diametro sito in un Osservatorio solare d'alta quota. Ai nostri giorni, i progressi dell'elettronica e dell'informatica mettono l'astrofilo nelle condizioni di realizzarlo da se, con un telescopio amatoriale e un'economica webcam. Questo libro, mentre aggiorna l'astrofilo sulle piu recenti tecniche nello studio del Sole, rappresenta un ottimo trattato sulla nostra...

The Exo-Weather Report: Exploring Diverse Atmospheric Phenomena Around the Universe
ISBN: 9783319256771 / Angielski / Miękka / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. David Stevenson's new book links the meteorology of the Earth to that of other planets, stars, and clusters of galaxies, showing the similarities and differences between terrestrial weather and that of weather on other worlds. Because Earth is not unique in having weather, there is much to learn from other planets with atmospheres that show the movement of energy from hotter to colder areas. The weather seen on Earth and other known planetary systems are examined to elaborate the connection between climate and the development of life. The weather on Earth and other Solar System planets...David Stevenson's new book links the meteorology of the Earth to that of other planets, stars, and clusters of galaxies, showing the similarities a... |

"Gott Hat Die Natur Einfältig Gemacht, Sie Aber Schon Viel Künste": Goethes Reaktion Auf Die Fraunhoferschen Entdeckungen
ISBN: 9783540532590 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 39 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der Aufsatz demonstriert anhand ausgiebig kommentierter zeitgenossischer Zeugnisse Goethes Reaktion auf die Arbeiten Fraunhofers, insbesondere auf die Entdeckung der dunklen Linien im Sonnenspektrum. Den Fehlurteilen Goethes werden dabei die Urteile zeitgenossischer Physiker wie Chladni und J.F.W. Herschel gegenubergestellt. Bislang noch ungedruckte Dokumente aus dem Weimarer Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv belegen, dass sich Goethe nicht nur literarisch mit Fraunhofer beschaftigte, sondern dass er auch dessen Versuche mit Hilfe des Jenaer Universitatsmechanikers Korner getreulich zu wiederholen...

EDWIN TURNER AND RACHEL WEBSTER Co-Chairs, Scientific Organizing Committee lAU Symposium 173, Astrophysical Applications of Gravitational Lenses, was held in Melbourne, Australia from July 9-14, 1995. The Symposium was sponsored by lAU Commissions 47 and 40. With the discovery by Walsh and collaborators of the first instance of a gravitational lens, the multiply imaged quasar 0957+561, the area of grav itational lensing moved from speculative theory to a major astrophysical tool. Since that time, there have been regular, approximately biennial in ternational meetings both in Europe and in...
