Einstein's Mirror
ISBN: 9780521435321 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Einstein's Mirror is a book on relativity with a difference. Following the successful format of their earlier book, The Quantum Universe, the authors blend a simple, non-mathematical account of the underlying theory of special relativity and gravitation with a description of the way these theories have been triumphantly supported by experiment. Applications of relativity in atomic and nuclear physics are wide-ranging, from satellite navigation systems, particle accelerators and nuclear power to quantum chemistry, anti-matter and black holes. The text is enlivened by a superb collection of...

Stellar Magnetism
ISBN: 9780199641741 / Angielski / Twarda / 754 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ongoing studies in mathematical depth, and inferences from helioseismological' observations of the internal solar rotation have shown up the limitations in our knowledge of the solar interior and of our understanding of the solar dynamo, manifested in particular by the sunspot cycle, the Maunder minimum, and solar flares. This second edition retains the identical overall structure as the first edition, but is designed so as to be self-contained with the early chapters presenting the basic physics and mathematics underlying cosmical magnetohydrodynamics, followed by studies of the specific...

Cosmology, Ecology, and the Energy of God
ISBN: 9780823238965 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book brings together process and postmodern theologians to reflect on the crucial topic of energy, asking: What are some of the connections between energy and theology? How do ideas about humanity and divinity interrelate with how we live our lives? Its contributors address energy in at least three distinct ways. First, in terms of physics, the discovery of dark energy in 1998 uncovered a mysterious force that seems to be driving the expansion of the universe. Here cosmology converges with theological reflection about the nature and origin of the universe. Second, the social and...

Plato's Cosmology and Its Ethical Dimensions
ISBN: 9781107657045 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although a great deal has been written on Plato's ethics, his cosmology has not received so much attention in recent times, and its importance for his ethical thought has remained underexplored. By offering accounts of Timaeus, Philebus, Politicus and Laws X, the book reveals a strongly symbiotic relation between the cosmic and human sphere. It is argued that in his late period Plato presents a picture of an organic universe, endowed with structure and intrinsic value, which both urges our respect and calls for our responsible intervention. Humans are thus seen as citizens of a university...

Eureka: A Prose Poem. an Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe.
ISBN: 9781781390375 / Angielski / Twarda / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eureka, A Prose Poem is over 40,000 words in length and it is not a poem! It was Poes last major work and was based on a lecture Poe presented in 1848, titled "On The Cosmography of the Universe". He had hoped for an audience of hundreds and that the proceeds of the lecture would pay for his new journal "The Stylus". However, only 60 attended and they went away confused. In Eureka, Poe explains the universe and the relationship of people with God based on the proposition "Because Nothing was, therefore All Things are".

Prologue to Super Quantum Mechanics
ISBN: 9781936795109 / Angielski / Twarda / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For many decades, quantum mechanics has been held hostage by quantum positivism. A shift of the quantum mechanics paradigm is long overdue. The Prologue is an introduction by Victor Vaguine of a fundamentally new quantum mechanics paradigm which he calls Super Quantum Mechanics (SQM). The theory and concept is further expanded in a companion book Conceptual and Philosophical Foundations of Super Quantum Mechanics (2012). In this book, he provides concise analysis and criticism of popular quantum mechanics interpretations, such as the Copenhagen, Quantum Potential, and Many Worlds....

Stellar Evolution and Its Relations to Geological Time
ISBN: 9781108048361 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. James Croll (1821 90) was self-educated, but on gaining a post at the Glagow Andersonian Museum had the time to explore his academic interests. Despite his lack of formal training, he quickly became a leading light of the Scottish Royal Geological Society. Using physics, mathematics, geology and geography he explored the pressing scientific questions of the time. In this, his final book, published in 1889, Croll divides his focus between 'the probable origin of meteorites, comets and nebulae', the age of the sun and the impact of the pre-nebular condition of the universe on star evolution....

The Fourth Source: Effects of Natural Nuclear Reactors
ISBN: 9781612330778 / Angielski / Miękka / 580 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes how the effects of natures own nuclear reactors have shaped the Earth, the Solar System, the Universe, and the history of life as we know it. It focuses on observed effects that are poorly explained by our standard theories, identifies certain errors in those theories, and shows how these effects are caused by natural nuclear fission reactors. The theory of Plate Tectonics is wrong, and it is shown that expansion of the Earth causes continental drift. A physically reasonable mechanism is proposed for expansion and observational data are presented to show that this occurs....

Simplicius on the Planets and Their Motions: In Defense of a Heresy
ISBN: 9789004227088 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though the digression closing Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's De caelo 2.12 has long been misread as a history of early Greek planetary theory, it is in fact a creative reading of Aristotle to maintain the authority of the De caelo as a sacred text in Late Platonism and to refute the polemic mounted by the Christian, John Philoponus. This book shows that the critical question forced on Simplicius was whether his school's acceptance of Ptolemy's planetary hypotheses entailed a rejection of Aristotle's argument that the heavens are made of a special matter that moves by...
