From one of the most exciting and accessible voices in physics, an eye-opening look into the strange and wonderful world of quantum physics and how it is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. What is the universe made of, and how do we know? For decades, physicists have studied this...

On February 4, 1974, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army kidnapped nineteen-year-old newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst from her Berkeley, California, apartment. Desperate to find her, the police called physicist Russell Targ and Pat Price, a psychic retired police commissioner. As Price...

Alles über das All – wissenschaftlich fundiert und allgemein verständlich. Wie warm ist es im Weltraum? Sind Schwarze Löcher wirklich schwarz? Und warum altern Raumfahrer langsamer? Ulrich Walter ist einer von elf Deutschen, die im All waren. Auf seiner Mission mit der Raumfähre Columbia hat er Erfahrungen gemacht, von denen der Großteil der Menschheit nur träumen kann. Verständlich und unterhaltsam erklärt der Astronaut alles Wissenswerte über die Welt und den Weltraum – von der Relativitätstheorie bis zur Dunklen Materie.

Nuclear physics began long before the identification of fundamental particles, with J. J. Thomson's discovery of the electron at the end of the nineteenth century, which implied the existence of a positive charge in the atom to make it neutral. In this Very Short Introduction, Frank Close gives...

A timely book for unstable times, Frenchman Flat recounts the science, politics, and human experience of those who developed nuclear weapons, suffered the consequences of their testing, and fought for and against arms control between the 1940s and 1990s. The throughline of this vast, complex...

Reviews the fundamental concepts behind the theory and computation of electromagnetic fields. The book is divided in two parts. The first part covers both fundamental theories (such as vector analysis, Maxwell’s equations, boundary condition, and transmission line theory) and advanced topics (such as wave transformation, addition theorems, and fields in layered media) in order to benefit students at all levels.

A radical new vision of reality from one of the great minds of our time, mapping a watershed moment in both physics and philosophy. We are living in an age of scientific advancement on par with that of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton: a period of discovery that has so fundamentally...

Brought to you by Penguin. What can we really know about the world around us? With clarity and lightness, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli guides us through the speculative depths of modern physics, unafraid to test their limits, not least because, as he suggests, there may be no final ground...

Bloomsbury presents… How to Design a Universe: The Science of Real and Virtual Worlds Written and read by Professor Catherine Heymans Could we be living in a computer simulation? How would we even know? In How to Design a Universe, acclaimed astrophysicist Catherine Heymans takes you on a...

While we have come a long way toward deciphering the laws of the universe, many physicists still regard time to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries. On Time provides answers to the questions about time that philosophers and scientists have been asking for millennia, such as whether it has a beginning and an end, why it only points toward the future and not the past, whether it can be stretched and squeezed or even reversed, and whether it is even real.

In Grace in All Simplicity, listeners will delight in Cahn and Quigg's engaging prose and see how the infinite and the infinitesimal are joined. Today, physicists and astronomers are exploring distances from a billionth of a billionth of the human scale to the entire cosmos, and contemplating...

Diagnosed at 28 with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma, a collapsed lung and displaced heart, Steve researched advanced treatment options that led to a full recovery. This same tenacious mindset was leveraged to create a blueprint and must-have resource for patients and caretakers to defeat cancer. An aerospace engineer by trade, Steve was shaping his career and life, feeling invincible and focusing on typical twenty-something activities like work, sports, his girlfriend and cats, when his life was suddenly turned on its head: cancer.

This is a space for big ideas and curious minds. From the multiverse to everyday life, we’ll talk about science, philosophy, religion, technology, and questions that make you think in new ways.

William H. Councill, former slave and contemporary of Booker T. Washington was founder of Huntsville Normal School, now Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in Normal, Alabama. This short volume consists of short pieces of advice to the Negro workers of his time with some statistical information at the end. Councill reflects many of the attitudes and opinions of his time. (Summary by Larry Wilson)

For most of human history, people have asked what the world is made of. Atoms, said the ancients. Particles and fields, said the moderns. Vibrating strings, said the late twentieth century. Each answer named some kind of substance — a stuff out of which everything is built. Each answer ran, in the end, into the same wall: a list of unsolved problems that could not be addressed without inventing more substances, more particles, more dimensions of stuff. The framework presented in this book takes a different route.

CHOICE Highly Recommended Title, August 2019 Expertly guided by renowned cosmologist Dr. David Lyth, learn about the pioneering scientists whose work provided the foundation for Einstein’s formulation of his theories of relativity, and about Einstein's groundbreaking life and work as well...

Twelve light-years from Earth, a star burns quietly in the constellation of the Whale. It is the nearest solitary star that resembles our Sun—a little older, a little cooler, a little poorer in the heavy elements from which planets are made. For sixty years, astronomers have trained the world’s finest instruments on Tau Ceti, searching for planets, for signals, for signs of life. What they have found is something more unexpected and more instructive: a masterclass in the limits of human knowledge.
