Learn about commercial spaceflight’s most successful startup in this fully updated book, which follows the extraordinary feats of engineering and human achievement that have placed SpaceX at the forefront of the launch industry and positioned it as the most likely candidate for transporting humans to Mars.

This second edition emphasizes SpaceX's much-hyped manned mission to the Red Planet. With a plethora of new material gathered from 2013 to the present, the text offers the most up-to-date portrait of the maverick band of scientists and engineers producing some of the most...

Just as Henry David Thoreau "traveled a great deal in Concord," Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg sees much of the world from the window of his study overlooking Lake Austin. In Lake Views Weinberg, considered by many to be the preeminent theoretical physicist alive today, continues the wide-ranging reflections that have also earned him a reputation as, in the words of New York Times reporter James Glanz, "a powerful writer of prose that can illuminate--and sting."

This collection presents Weinberg's views on topics ranging from problems of cosmology to...

Die Schopfung ist nicht das Werk von einem Augenblicke. Die Schopfung ist niemals vollendet.

Immanuel Kant - Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels

Wie nehmen wir unsere materielle Welt wahr? Woraus besteht die Erde unter unseren Fuen? Warum fuhlt sich Holz warm an und Metall kalt? Warum zerbricht Glas und Metall nicht? Woher kommt der Sauerstoff in der Luft? Und was hat eine Leuchtstofflampe mit der Sonne gemeinsam?

Spannende Fragen, die uns im Alltag begegnen. Die drei Autoren dieses Buches gehen der Frage nach, welche Gesetze den Stoffen...

He was still a child when Einstein rose to fame and when Bohr devised his atomic model, based on Rutherford's...

The book clearly and concisely explains the basic principles of Lagrangian dynamicsand provides training in the actual physical and mathematical techniques of applying Lagrange's equations, laying the foundation for a later study of topics that bridge the gap between classical and quantum physics, engineering, chemistry and applied mathematics, and for practicing scientists and engineers.

Why do giraffes have long necks? It can't really be for reaching tasty leaves since their main food is ground level bushes, tidy though that explanation would be. And how does relativity theory cope with the fact that the observable universe defies prediction by being far too small and anything but homogeneous? By inventing a vastly larger, but invisible, universe. And what exactly should we make of the scientists who claim to be witnessing thought itself, when the changes of blood flow in the brain that they observe are a thousand times slower than the neuronal activity it is supposed to...
