The System of the Stars
ISBN: 9781108014168 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agnes Mary Clerke (1842 1907) published The System of the Stars in 1890 when she was a well-established popular science writer. The volume was intended to bring the educated public up to date with the progress made during the nineteenth century in the field of sidereal astronomy. The work was one of the first publications to be illustrated with astrophotography: it contains five astronomical photographs of nebulae. Such photographs had significant impact on the reception and popular acceptance of astrophotography as scientific data. In The System of the Stars, Clerke used the photographs to...

A Flaw in the Ointment: Explaining the Universe - The Difference Between How Things Are And How They Seem To Be
ISBN: 9780971209213 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Flaw in the Ointment is at once a challenging book and an enjoyable read, in which author Michael Perilstein presents a well-reasoned perspective on the nature of time and space, and the illusion of free will. Filled with engaging thought experiments, the volume provides ample exercise for the mind. Especially thought-provoking is the authors pointed critique of religion, which will remind some of Christopher Hitchins controversial God Is Not Good. Yet, the implications of Perilsteins theories reach well beyond a simple statement of atheism. Ultimately, those much broader ideas are at the...

The Apotheosis of Janaab' Pakal: Science, History, and Religion at Classic Maya Palenque
ISBN: 9781607320715 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Apotheosis of Janaab' Pakal" takes up anew the riddles within a number of Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions first recognized by Floyd Lounsbury. Gerardo Aldana unpacks these mathematical riddles using an approach grounded in a reading of the texts made possible by recent advances in decipherment. Using a history of science methodology, he expands upon (and sometimes questions) the foundational work of archaeoastronomers.
Aldana follows three lines of investigation: a reading of the hieroglyphic inscriptions of the Classic period (a.d. 250-900), mathematical analysis to recover Classic...

Immanuel Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals: A German-English Edition
ISBN: 9780521514576 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Published in 1785, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most powerful texts in the history of ethical thought. In this book, Immanuel Kant formulates and justifies a supreme principle of morality that issues universal and unconditional moral commands. These commands receive their normative force from the fact that rational agents autonomously impose the moral law upon themselves. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains the first facing-page German-English edition of Kant's Groundwork. It presents a new, authentic edition of the German text and a carefully...

Cosmological Pattern of Microphysics in the Inflationary Universe
ISBN: 9781402026492 / Angielski / Twarda / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern cosmology is a quickly developing ?eld of research. New technical devices and tools supply the community with new experimental data measured with high accuracy. The self-consistent explanation of these data needs t- oretical models that are based on hypothetical predictions of particle theory. In their turn, such predictions imply cosmology for their probe. Speci?c st- ies of the cosmological consequences of particle theory, linking them to their observable signatures, are actual. This boiling kettle of theoretical research and experimental efforts produces ideas that will be preserved...

Before the Big Bang: The Prehistory of the Universe
ISBN: 9780312680282 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to a recent survey, the most popular question about science from the general public was: what came before the Big Bang? We all know on some level what the Big Bang is, but we don't know how it became the accepted theory, or how we might know what came before. In Before the Big Bang, Brian Clegg (the critically acclaimed author of Upgrade Me and The God Effect) explores the history of this remarkable concept. From the earliest creation myths, through Hershel's realization that the Milky Way was one of many galaxies, to on-going debates about Black Holes, this...

The Theory of Despace
ISBN: 9781448679751 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Theory of Despace is the most innovative cosmology with an opposite concept with respect to normal ones. This theory uses a very simple model to define the world and various kinds of forces and fields such as gravitation, electric field and magnetic field. Meanwhile, a new model of the photon was also built in this book. According to this new model of photon, we can describe the behavior and the effect of the photon to matter easily. The basic concept of this theory is that there is only one thing in the world - "space." The place without "space" forms what named "matter." This is totally...

Dark Energy: Dark Matter and Dark Flow
ISBN: 9781452829524 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dark Energy by Alex J. Morrey, BSc, offers a staggeringly different interpretation of reality, melding science with religion to show plausible reasons for the most implausible and supernatural occurrences. Reality is nothing more than space and time, Morrey argues, and because humans have a collective agreement to perceive the same matter, and our world, in the same way, we often miss hints of the miraculous in our midst. Beautifully written and easy to read, Dark Energy contemplates a bold new world where the supernatural is based in rational science, and the possibilities are endless.

Our Stories: Essays on Life, Death, and Free Will
ISBN: 9780199767236 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this collection of essays on the metaphysical issues pertaining to death, the meaning of life, and freedom of the will, John Martin Fischer argues (against the Epicureans) that death can be a bad thing for the individual who dies. He defends the claim that something can be a bad thing--a misfortune--for an individual, even if he never experiences it as bad (and even if he does not any longer exist). Fischer also defends the commonsense asymmetry in our attitudes toward death and prenatal nonexistence: we are indifferent to the time before we are born, but we regret that we do not live...

Photographs of Stars, Star-Clusters and Nebulae: Together with Information Concerning the Instruments and the Methods Employed in the Pursuit of Celes
ISBN: 9781108015226 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A geologist and fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Isaac Roberts (1829 1904) made significant contributions to the photography of star-clusters and nebulae. By championing reflecting rather than refracting telescopes, Roberts was able to perceive previously unnoticed star-clusters, and was the first to identify the spiral shape of the Great Andromeda Nebula. Roberts' use of a telescope for photographing stars, and a long exposure time, provided greater definition of stellar phenomena than previously used hand-drawings. Although Roberts' conclusions about the nature of the nebulae he...
