Creation and Metaphysics: A Genetic Approach to Existential ACT
ISBN: 9789401758161 / Angielski / Miękka / 87 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the last twenty-five years or so, studies in Thomistic existentialism have repeatedly indicated that the notion of creation played a decisive role in St. Thomas Aquinas' view of existence as an existential act or actus es sendi. The importance for metaphysics of this view of existence as act war rants an investigation of the relation between creation and actus essendi; for St. Thomas is the only one, in the history of philosophy, to have con sidered existence as an act-of-being. This study will be limited to the early works of St. Thomas. By the time of the Summa Contra Gentiles, he...

The Story of Collapsing Stars: Black Holes, Naked Singularities, and the Cosmic Play of Quantum Gravity
ISBN: 9780199686766 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book journeys into one of the most fascinating intellectual adventures of recent decades - understanding and exploring the final fate of massive collapsing stars in the universe. The issue is of great interest in fundamental physics and cosmology today, from both the perspective of gravitation theory and of modern astrophysical observations. This is a revolution in the making and may be intimately connected to our search for a unified understanding of the basic forces of nature, namely gravity that governs the cosmological universe, and the microscopic forces that include quantum...

Remote Sensing Tools for Exploration: Observing and Interpreting the Electromagnetic Spectrum
ISBN: 9781489982575 / Angielski / Miękka / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Remote Sensing from a New Perspective The idea for this book began many years ago, when I was asked to teach a course on remote sensing. Not long before that time, I had been part of the effort to develop the first database for planetary data with a common digital array format and interactive processing capabilities to correlate those data easily: the lunar consortium. All the available lunar remote sensing data were included, orbital and ground-based, ranging across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. I had used this powerful tool extensively, and, in that spirit, I was determined to create...

Encyclopedia of Planetary Landforms
ISBN: 9781461431336 / Angielski / Twarda / 2460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Encyclopedia of Planetary Landforms contains a description and interpretation of all known planetary landforms that have been discovered on the planetary bodies in our Solar System. The content is separated into entries for each planetary landform. All entries are based on literature reviews, using NASA/ESA/JAXA imagery and original general and thematic maps of the particular landform. Such a wide variety of landforms show how exotic these features could be from a terrestrial point of view, but at the same time emphasizes that the same processes will result in similar morphology, independent...

Monitoring Atmospheric Water Vapour: Ground-Based Remote Sensing and In-Situ Methods
ISBN: 9781489997050 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Atmospheric water plays a key role in climate. Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas and its condensed forms exert a profound influence on both incoming solar and outgoing infrared radiation. Unfortunately, accurate, height-resolved global-scale measurements of atmospheric humidity are difficult to obtain. The change in concentration of five orders of magnitude form the ground to the stratosphere means there is no standard instrument that will measure everywhere. This has led to different measuring techniques, all with strengths and weaknesses. This book assesses all presently...

Planet Mercury: From Pale Pink Dot to Dynamic World
ISBN: 9783319121161 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A new and detailed picture of Mercury is emerging thanks to NASA's MESSENGER mission that spent four years in orbit about the Sun's innermost planet. Comprehensively illustrated by close-up images and other data, the author describes Mercury's landscapes from a geological perspective: from sublimation hollows, to volcanic vents, to lava plains, to giant thrust faults. He considers what its giant core, internal structure and weird composition have to tell us about the formation and evolution of a planet so close to the Sun. This is of special significance in view of the discovery of so many...

Free Surface Flows Under Compensated Gravity Conditions
ISBN: 9783642448492 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book considers the behavior of fluids in a low-gravity environment (e.g. spacecraft) with special emphasis on application in PMD (propellant management device) systems. Since PMD designs are not testable on ground and thus completely rely on analytical or numerical concepts, this book treats three different flow problems with analytical, numerical and experimental means. These problems are linked together by the same set of equations and boundary conditions. This book considers the behavior of fluids in a low-gravity environment (e.g. spacecraft) with special emphasis on application in PMD (propellant m... |

Plasma Physics: An Introduction to Laboratory, Space, and Fusion Plasmas
ISBN: 9783642436314 / Angielski / Miękka / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an outgrowth of courses in plasma physics which I have taught at Kiel University for many years. During this time I have tried to convince my students that plasmas as different as gas dicharges, fusion plasmas and space plasmas can be described in a uni ed way by simple models. The challenge in teaching plasma physics is its apparent complexity. The wealth of plasma phenomena found in so diverse elds makes it quite different from atomic physics, where atomic structure, spectral lines and chemical binding can all be derived from a single equation--the Schrodinger equation. I...

The Adriatic Meetings have traditionally been conferences on the most - vanced status of science. They are one of the very few conferences in physics aiming at a very broad participation of young and experienced researchers with di?erent backgrounds in particle physics. Particle physics has grown into a highly multi-faceted discipline over the sixty years of its existence, mainly because of two reasons: Particle physics as an experimental science is in need of large-scale laboratory set-ups, involving typically collaborations of several hundreds or even thousands of researchers and...

Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy 6
ISBN: 9789400788510 / Angielski / Miękka / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When I wasa child, growing up in South America,I often went camping in the wild and hence had direct access to the wondrous Southern sky; the Southern Cross was all mine at the time. Little did I know then that the study of the sky would take such a huge importance in my life, and that in the end astronomy and astrophysics would in many ways become my country and my religion. I have lived in several di?erent countries, and when asked my nationality, I am always very tempted to reply: astronomer. I started as a theorist, and my only dream in my youth was to spend nights thinking and...

Parting the Cosmic Veil
ISBN: 9781493900930 / Angielski / Miękka / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes our gradual awareness of a vast, previously concealed Universe. It is a story of expanding horizons and the discovery of invisible worlds. This voyage of discovery is presented within universal themes, such as invisibility, motion, content, form, impermanence, violence and emptiness, beginnings and ends. These are topics that concern us all, helping us take the Universe personally, so each chapter begins with the human aspect of some of these themes. The book is additionally broadened by including the perceptions of artists, poets and writers, as well as with line...
