The Apocalypse: Comets, Asteroids and Cyclical Catastrophes
ISBN: 9781897244616 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For untold millennia, comets and asteroids have struck fear into the hearts of humankind. Their stark radiance was observed everywhere with a sense of impending doom and interpreted as signs of the gods' judgment, omens of plague, mass destruction and the end of time. Astronomers recorded their appearance the world over, building large scale observatories to track their movements and predict their ominous arrival. What was it about these majestic wonders of the heavens that inspired such dread? Was it simply a product of mere superstition and social hysteria? The latest scientific analysis...

Is God Unnecessary?: Why Stephen Hawking Is Wrong According to the Laws of Physics
ISBN: 9781475954630 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Stephen Hawking, the most famous scientist living in the twenty-first century, published The Grand Design, he provoked a lively response in the media. Hawking wrote that the laws of physics make God unnecessary when explaining the origin of the universe and everything in it. In Is God Unnecessary?, author Walter Alan Ray presents nine reasons why Hawking's thesis is mistaken. Ray does not use philosophical or theological arguments, but presents the same laws of physics that Hawking says demonstrate his position. Ray examines - Hawking's "Apparent Miracle"; - Hawking's assumption that...

Against Nature: Concept of Nature in Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780791430453 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Against Nature examines the history of the concept of nature in the tradition of Critical Theory, with chapters on Lukacs, Horkheimer and Adorno, Marcuse, and Habermas. It argues that the tradition has been marked by significant difficulties with respect to that concept; that these problems are relevant to contemporary environmental philosophy as well; and that a solution to them requires taking seriously--and literally--the idea of nature as socially constructed.

The Gyroverse: The Hidden Structure of the Universe: Signed Copy
ISBN: 9781481148542 / Angielski / Miękka / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Feynman, the renowned physicist, in his book QED, after discussing an unusual aspect of quantum physics stated: ..". the more you see how strangely nature behaves, the harder it is to make a model that explains how even the simplest phenomenon actually works. So theoretical physics has given up on that." Don Wortzman hasn't. His ground breaking Gyroverse Theory, simply and convincingly validates the twelve-dimensional helical construction of the universe. This surprising construct is able to explain most of the strange phenomena that have stymied the physics community for so long. It...

Philoponus: Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World
ISBN: 9781780933597 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Philoponus' treatise Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World, an attack on Aristotle's astronomy and theology is concerned mainly with the eternity and divinity of the fifth element, or 'quintessence', of which Aristotle took the stars to be composed. Pagans and Christians were divided on whether the world had a beginning, and on whether a belief that the heavens were divine was a mark of religion. Philoponus claimed on behalf of Christianity that the universe was not eternal. His most spectacular arguments, where wrung paradox out of the pagan belief in an infinite past, have...

Non-Linear Data Analysis on the Sphere: The Quest for Anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background
ISBN: 9783319003085 / Angielski / Twarda / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This workdeals with the search for signatures of non-Gaussianities in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Probing Gaussianity in the CMB addresses one of the key questions in modern cosmology because it allows us to discriminate between different models of inflation, and thus concerns a fundamental part of the standard cosmological model.
The basic goalhere is to adapt complementary methods stemming from the field of complexity science to CMB data analysis. Two key concepts, namely the method of surrogates and estimators for local scaling properties, are applied to CMB data...

The Noetics of Nature: Environmental Philosophy and the Holy Beauty of the Visible
ISBN: 9780823254651 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemplative or "noetic" knowledge has traditionally been seen as the highest mode of understanding, a view that persists both in many non-Western cultures and in Eastern Christianity, where "theoria physike," or the illumined understanding of creation that follows the purification of the heart, is seen to provide deeper insights into nature than the discursive rationality modernity has used to dominate and conquer it. Working from texts in Eastern Orthodox philosophy and theology not widely known in the West, as well as a variety of sources including mystics such as the Sufi Ibn 'Arabi,...

Adventures in the Science of Cosmology
ISBN: 9781484818299 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is written primarily for young teens (ages 13 to 16). It can, however, be enjoyed by anyone from 13 to 113 who has an interest in science - especially if they have never given astronomy or cosmology much thought. Informally presented in an entertaining and chatty style, the book teaches some of the basic science and associated math (dead simple algebra) that astronomers work with - but more importantly - it shows how these geeky scientists actually use this stuff to figure out what's going on in the universe. For example, you will learn: (1) Not just what chemical elements reside in...
