Download or read book Pale Blue Dot written by Carl Sagan and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fascinating . . . memorable . . . revealing . . . perhaps the best of Carl Sagan’s books.”—The Washington Post Book World (front page review) In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. “Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity’s future in the stars.”—Chicago Tribune
Book Synopsis The Scientific Revolution by : Steven Shapin
Download or read book The Scientific Revolution written by Steven Shapin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly and accessible study presents “a provocative new reading” of the late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century advances in scientific inquiry (Kirkus Reviews). In The Scientific Revolution, historian Steven Shapin challenges the very idea that any such a “revolution” ever took place. Rejecting the narrative that a new and unifying paradigm suddenly took hold, he demonstrates how the conduct of science emerged from a wide array of early modern philosophical agendas, political commitments, and religious beliefs. In this analysis, early modern science is shown not as a set of disembodied ideas, but as historically situated ways of knowing and doing. Shapin shows that every principle identified as the modernizing essence of science—whether it’s experimentalism, mathematical methodology, or a mechanical conception of nature—was in fact contested by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century practitioners with equal claims to modernity. Shapin argues that this contested legacy is nevertheless rightly understood as the origin of modern science, its problems as well as its acknowledged achievements. This updated edition includes a new bibliographic essay featuring the latest scholarship. “An excellent book.” —Anthony Gottlieb, New York Times Book Review

Book Synopsis Unique Physics of Light and Astronomy by : Shailesh Kadakia
Download or read book Unique Physics of Light and Astronomy written by Shailesh Kadakia and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 900 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of Unique Physics of Light and Astronomy, a brand new title from Professor Kadakia, is on the processes responsible for the creation of light and its interaction with matter. After several years of extensive research in light wave physics, the author realized that several past physicists had left unexplained gaps in their theories characterizing the behavior of radiation entities in general, and light waves in particular. Though Einstein had postulated a dual nature of of light and radiation, namely a particle and a wave, which travelled at a constant speed c in space, he did not describe the physical phenomenon for the origination of radiant energy. In this text book, we reveal the unique events surrounding the creation of light and radiation waves. They are germinated from a quantum phenomenon, electrons dissipate energy during orbital transitions, inherently due to a quantized change in their energy states while performing oscillations within electrostatic charge field of protons. Thus, the frequencies and the speed of all radiation is set by the reverberation of the charge field that is independent of the motion of atoms and objects. Moreover, various types of radiation is thus considered as manifestations of oscillations of the charge field at different frequencies and, therefore, are not electromagnetic in nature. The readers of this text will be amazed by the several stunning breakthrough ideas presented here. For instance, we developed a novel concept for the probability of finding a radiation quantum in Richard Feynman's QED that is determined from the wave function of a particle electron that creates the radiation. Another remarkable fact that is postulated by us is that "Black Holes" do not possess a singularity, as was made popular by Stephen Hawking, inasmuch as they are quark stars in reality. Finally, we proudly announce that we have revised the most celebrated mass-energy equivalence expression, as postulated by Albert Einstein, for translation of matter into energy E = mc2 to new a relationship to wit: E = Ʃmneutrinoc2 + Ʃhfradiation.
Book Synopsis The California Field Atlas by : Obi Kaufmann
Download or read book The California Field Atlas written by Obi Kaufmann and published by Heyday Books. This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] gorgeously illustrated compendium."--Sunset This lavishly illustrated atlas takes readers off the beaten path and outside normal conceptions of California, revealing its myriad ecologies, topographies, and histories in exquisite maps and trail paintings. Based on decades of exploring the backcountry of the Golden State, artist-adventurer Obi Kaufmann blends science and art to illuminate the multifaceted array of living, connected systems like no book has done before. Kaufmann depicts layer after layer of the natural world, delighting in the grand scale and details alike. The effect is staggeringly beautiful: presented alongside California divvied into its fifty-eight counties, for example, we consider California made up of dancing tectonic plates, of watersheds, of wildflower gardens. Maps are enhanced by spirited illustrations of wildlife, keys that explain natural phenomena, and a clear-sighted but reverential text. Full of character and color, a bit larger than life, The California Field Atlas is the ultimate road trip companion and love letter to a place.
Book Synopsis A Short History of the Universe by : Joseph Silk
Download or read book A Short History of the Universe written by Joseph Silk and published by W. H. Freeman. This book was released on 1997-02-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the universe evolved? Astronomer and physicist Joseph Silk explores this and other questions of cosmology in this updated, paperback edition of his acclaimed A Short History of the Universe. Silk shows how cosmologists study cosmic relics and construct theories of the universe's inception, its evolution, and its plausible future. He describes how physicists apply their theories of subatomic particles to re-create the first moments of the big bang and how astronomers map huge reaches of the universe to understand the later creation of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. He also reports on one of science's most dramatic detective stories: the search for the missing matter that will determine the ultimate fate of the universe.
