The Concept of Nature
ISBN: 9780232524390 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What do natural behaviour, natural landscapes, natural yoghurt and natural theology have in common? This wide-ranging study of the origins and use of the concept of nature aims to throw light on many of today's contoversial issues - from sexuality and designer babies to GM foods. The Concept of Nature examines practical questions such as whether there are laws of nature which can lead us to describe some human behaviours as natural and other unnatural, and seeks to guide Christian thinking by identifying God as the source of both nature's givenness and of its immense potential for change.

21st Century Cosmology
ISBN: 9781439241561 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cosmology findings are increasing rapidly due to the new Research Tools available to astronomy scientists such as the CARMA (space array), the Hubble space borne telescope and others. I have been interested in Cosmology for many years and while I lived in Spain I used information collected from the Internet, once it became available, to give lectures on this subject to the English Speaking Group. This book is a summary of the latest cosmology research collected from the Internet plus information compiled after attending lectures at Caltech on cosmology research. One of the main thrusts of...

So thIS paper, unfortunately, IS really a status report rather than a progress report. There are, however, a few new results to mention. I shall present the results wIthout glVlng any detaIls of the experImental apparatus. In general, sources of error and problems in these measurements are not determined by the apparatus itself. The most important new result IS that of Paul Henry (1971), who employed a radiometer mounted on a rotatmg platform suspended beneath a balloon. Because he employed a rotatmg platform he was able to...

Dark Matter in the Universe: Proceedings of the 117th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union Held in Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A, June 24–28, 1985
ISBN: 9789027723574 / Angielski / Miękka / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first time that the International Astronomical Union has held a symposium on objects of totally unknown nature. In fact. M. Rees has pointed out that the mass of the individual particles that make up the dark matter is unknown to > 70 orders of magnitude. Since dark matter appears to make up ~ 90 % of the mass of the Universe. it presents us with one of the most fundamental problems in astrophysics. IAU Symposium 117 on Dark Matter in the Universe was held on June 24 - 28. 1985. Our hosts were Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. which together form one of...

Observational Cosmology: Proceedings of the 124th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, Held in Beijing, China, August 25-30, 1986
ISBN: 9789027724762 / Angielski / Miękka / 880 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Symposium was held at the Great Wall Sheraton Hotel in Beijing, China in the period August 25-30, 1986. The decision to concentrate on the observational aspects of modern cosmology was taken in part because this conference has come in a period when there have been several international meetings on one aspect of modern cosmology, namely the early universe and its possible relationship to particle physics. While that approach is extremely exciting, it has the disadvantage that its connection with much of observational cosmology is very indirect. Thus there has been little opportunity to...

Kant's Theory of Natural Science
ISBN: 9780792327509 / Angielski / Twarda / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Plaass's treatise stood at the beginning of a renewed wave of scholarship regarding Kant's Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (MF). Plaass argues that the MF represents an integral step in Kant's development between the two editions of the Critique of Pure Reason. The MF repeats the Copernican turn', using the conditions of subjectivity to derive the metaphysical determinations of matter' as the object of natural science with the new method called metaphysical construction', which simultaneously grounds the mathematizability of...

The presentations of this NATO Advanced Study Institute centre around X-ray clusters of galaxies and their role in understanding the structure and evolution of the universe. Reminiscences of the beginning of the extra-solar X-ray astronomy some 30 years ago, of subsequent X-ray satellites which, among other discoveries, found galaxy clusters to be an important new class of intrinsically bright X-ray sources, and highlights from the most recent All Sky Survey by ROSAT serve as an introduction.

Stellar Populations: Proceedings of the 164th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, Held in the Hague, the Netherlands, August
ISBN: 9780792335382 / Angielski / Miękka / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of Stellar Populations has played a fundamental role in astronomy in the last few decades. It was introduced by Walter Baade after he was able to resolve the Andromeda Nebula and its companions into stars when he used red-sensitive plates and realised that there were two fundamentally different Herzsprung-Russell diagrams in our and these nearby galaxies (common stars in the solar neighborhood versus globular clusters). This result was published in two papers in 1944 in volume 100 of the Astrophysical Journal. Subsequent research gave the concept a much firmer basis and at the...

The modern Persian word for cosmology is "Keyhan-shenakht," which is also the title of a Persian book written more than 800 years ago. The same term can also be found in Old Persian. In spite of this old tradition, modern cosmology is a new omer within the scientific disciplines in Iran. The cosmology community' is small and not yet well established. Given the spectacular recent advances in observational and theoretical cosmology, the large amount of new observational data which will become available in the near future, and the rapid expansion of the international cosmology community, it was...

Terms such as "expanding Universe," "big bang," and "initial singularity," are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the Universe before the big bang? And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question? In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to the above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to...
