Planning as Persuasive Storytelling: The Rhetorical Construction of Chicago's Electric Future
ISBN: 9780226799636 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Planning as Persuasive Storytelling" is a revealing look at the world of political conflict surrounding the Commonwealth Edison Company's ambitious nuclear power plant construction program in northern Illinois during the 1980s. Examining the clash between the utility, consumer groups, community-based groups, the Illinois Commerce Commission, and the City of Chicago, Throgmorton argues that planning can best be thought of as a form of persuasive storytelling. A planner's task is to write future-oriented texts that employ language and figures of speech designed to persuade their constituencies...

The Story of Spin
ISBN: 9780226807942 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. All atomic particles have a particular "spin," analogous to the earth's rotation on its axis. The quantum mechanical reality underlying spin is complex and still poorly understood. Sin-itiro Tomonaga's "The Story of Spin" remains the most complete and accessible treatment of spin, and is now available in English translation. Tomonaga tells the tale of the pioneers of physics and their difficult journey toward an understanding of the nature of spin and its relationship to statistics. His clear unfolding of the tale of spin is invaluable to students of physics, chemistry, and astronomy, and his...

The Fabric of the Heavens: The Development of Astronomy and Dynamics
ISBN: 9780226808482 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Conceived as three companion volumes that form an introduction to the central ideas of the modern natural sciences, these books--intelligent, informative, and accessible--are an excellent source for those who have no technical knowledge of the subject.
Praise for The Fabric of the Heavens "I cannot remember when I last went through a book, any book, with such all-devouring zest. What is more, even the most complex technicalities are reduced to a positively crystalline clarity: If I can understand them, anyone can. The Fabric of the Heavens is, in every sense of the word,...

Measuring the Universe: Cosmic Dimensions from Aristarchus to Halley
ISBN: 9780226848822 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Measuring the Universe" is the first history of the evolution of cosmic dimensions, from the work of Eratosthenes and Aristarchus in the third century B.C. to the efforts of Edmond Halley (1656 1742).
"Van Helden's authoritative treatment is concise and informative; he refers to numerous sources of information, draws on the discoveries of modern scholarship, and presents the first book-length treatment of this exceedingly important branch of science." Edward Harrison, "American Journal of Physics" "Van Helden writes well, with a flair for clear explanation. I warmly recommend this...

Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics
ISBN: 9780226870274 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book, Robert Wald provides a coherent, pedagogical introduction to the formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. He begins with a treatment of the ordinary one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator, progresses through the construction of quantum field theory in flat spacetime to possible constructions of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and, ultimately, to an algebraic formulation of the theory. In his presentation, Wald disentangles essential features of the theory from inessential ones (such as a particle interpretation) and clarifies relationships between...

Writing for the general reader or student, Wald has completely revised and updated this highly regarded work to include recent developments in black hole physics and cosmology. "Nature" called the first edition "a very readable and accurate account of modern relativity physics for the layman within the unavoidable constraint of almost no mathematics. . . . A well written, entertaining and authoritative book."

Geometrical Vectors
ISBN: 9780226890487 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Every advanced undergraduate and graduate student of physics must master the concepts of vectors and vector analysis. Yet most books cover this topic by merely repeating the introductory-level treatment based on a limited algebraic or analytic view of the subject. Geometrical Vectors introduces a more sophisticated approach, which not only brings together many loose ends of the traditional treatment, but also leads directly into the practical use of vectors in general curvilinear coordinates by carefully separating those relationships which are topologically invariant from those...

Kaon Physics
ISBN: 9780226902289 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1947, the first of what have come to be known as "strange particles" were detected. As the number and variety of these particles proliferated, physicists began to try to make sense of them. Some seemed to have masses about 900 times that of the electron, and existed in both charged and neutral varieties. These particles are now called kaons (or K mesons), and they have become the subject of some of the most exciting research in particle physics. "Kaon Physics at the Turn of the Millennium" presents cutting-edge papers by leading theorists and experimentalists that synthesize the current...

It considers eastern forms of religious experience as well as Christian viewpoints and challenges the idea of a mind identical to, or a by-product of, brain activity. It explores religion as inner experience of the Transcendent, and suggests a modern spirituality.

The New Frontier of Religion and Science: Religious Experience, Neuroscience, and the Transcendent
ISBN: 9780230507715 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first major response to the new challenge of neuroscience to religion. There have been limited responses from a purely Christian point of view, but this takes account of eastern as well as western forms of religious experience. It challenges the prevailing naturalistic assumption of our culture, including the idea that the mind is either identical with or a temporary by-product of brain activity. It also discusses religion as institutions and religion as inner experience of the Transcendent, and suggests a form of spirituality for today.

How to Deep-Freeze a Mammoth
ISBN: 9780231059787 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 121 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How does bison meat taste after being frozen for 30,000 years? Were Ice Age cave painters trying to create "art" or just record history? How did ancient oil spills occur, before there were oil companies to create them? Those are just some of the questions renowned paleontologist Bjorn Kurten answers in this collection of lighthearted essays on fossils, ancient life, and related topics. Written for the general reader, these lively pieces range from a look at how scientific theories are created to some new views of old myths. Among the topics Kurten examines are the history of the Mediterranean...
