The Eventful History Of The Mutiny
ISBN: 9781438520124 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John Barrow was an English statesman and writer. The Eventful History of the Mutiny and Piratical Seizure of H.M.S. Bounty: (1831) Its Cause and Consequences, was a report about the mutiny on the Bounty written by John Barrow. In 1789, the mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian against Captain, William Bligh. Bligh received the appointment because he was considered an exceptionally capable naval officer - an evaluation that would prove to be correct - and because of his experience and familiarity with navigation in the area and local customs. The crew spent 5 months in Tahiti collecting...

Sto důležitých věcí o matematice a umění, které nevíte (a ani nevíte, že je nevíte)
ISBN: 9788073637729 / Czeski / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Matematika je nejen jedním z pilířů vědeckého bádání, ale dokáže nám osvětlit i mnoho zdánlivě všedních jevů z každodenního života. Matematické a fyzikální zákonitosti mají překvapivé uplatnění i v říši sportovních výkonů. A totéž platí i pro umění a kulturu – i tady hraje matematika důležitou, a leckdy nečekanou roli. Víte, jak lze pomocí Archimedova zákona snadno usvědčit padělatele šperků? Proč připomíná vlajka Nepálu polovinu vánočního stromečku? Víte, proč Cageova slavná skladba, při níž nezazní jediný tón, trvá...

Between Inner Space and Outer Space
ISBN: 9780192880413 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The origins of life on earth, the workings of the human mind, the mysteries of the Universe itself--profound questions such as these were once the province of philosophy and theology alone. Today they have become the staple--and indeed the hallmark--of the finest writing about science. And few science writers have tackled the big questions as persistently and as insightfully as astronomer John Barrow.
Now, in Between Inner Space and Outer Space, Barrow brings together dozens of essays that offer a sweeping account of his explorations along the boundary lines of science, philosophy, and...

The Artful Universe Expanded
ISBN: 9780199601332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Our love of art, writes John Barrow, is the end product of millions of years of evolution. How we react to a beautiful painting or symphony draws upon instincts laid down long before humans existed. Now, in this enhanced edition of the highly popular The Artful Universe, Barrow further explores the close ties between our aesthetic appreciation and the basic nature of the Universe.
Barrow argues that the laws of the Universe have imprinted themselves upon our thoughts and actions in subtle and unexpected ways. Why do we like certain types of art or music? What games and puzzles do we find... Our love of art, writes John Barrow, is the end product of millions of years of evolution. How we react to a beautiful painting or symphony draws upon...

The Constants of Nature: The Numbers That Encode the Deepest Secrets of the Universe
ISBN: 9781400032259 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Reality as we know it is bound by a set of constants--numbers and values that dictate the strengths of forces like gravity, the speed of light, and the masses of elementary particles. In The Constants of Nature, Cambridge Professor and bestselling author John D.Barrow takes us on an exploration of these governing principles. Drawing on physicists such as Einstein and Planck, Barrow illustrates with stunning clarity our dependence on the steadfastness of these principles. But he also suggests that the basic forces may have been radically different during the universe's infancy, and...

Fitness of the Cosmos for Life: Biochemistry and Fine-Tuning
ISBN: 9780521871020 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This highly interdisciplinary 2007 book highlights many of the ways in which chemistry plays a crucial role in making life an evolutionary possibility in the universe. Cosmologists and particle physicists have often explored how the observed laws and constants of nature lie within a narrow range that allows complexity and life to evolve and adapt. Here, these anthropic considerations are diversified in a host of new ways to identify the most sensitive features of biochemistry and astrobiology. Celebrating the classic 1913 work of Lawrence J. Henderson, The Fitness of the Environment for Life,...

The Book Of Nothing
ISBN: 9780099288459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the zeros of the mathematician to the void of the philosphers, from Shakespeare to the empty set, from the ether to the quantum vacuum, from being and nothingness to creatio ex nihilo, there is much ado about nothing at the heart of things. Discoveries in astronomy are shown to shed new light on the nature of the vacuum and its dramatic effect on the explanation of the Universe.

New Theories of Everything: The Quest for Ultimate Explanation
ISBN: 9780199548170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Will we ever discover a single scientific theory that tells us everything that has happened, and everything that will happen, on every level in the Universe? The quest for the theory of everything - a single key that unlocks all the secrets of the Universe - is no longer a pipe-dream, but the focus of some of our most exciting research about the structure of the cosmos. But what might such a theory look like? What would it mean? And how close are we to getting there?
In New Theories of Everything, John D. Barrow describes the ideas and controversies surrounding the ultimate explanation.... Will we ever discover a single scientific theory that tells us everything that has happened, and everything that will happen, on every level in the Un...

ISBN: 9780375726095 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What conceptual blind spot kept the ancient Greeks (unlike the Indians and Maya) from developing a concept of zero? Why did St. Augustine equate nothingness with the Devil? What tortuous means did 17th-century scientists employ in their attempts to create a vacuum? And why do contemporary quantum physicists believe that the void is actually seething with subatomic activity? You ll find the answers in this dizzyingly erudite and elegantly explained book by the English cosmologist John D. Barrow.
