Book Synopsis Isaac Newton: pocket GIANTS by : Dr Andrew May
Download or read book Isaac Newton: pocket GIANTS written by Dr Andrew May and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac Newton had an extraordinary idea. He believed the physical universe and everything in it could be described in exact detail using mathematical relationships. He formulated a law of gravity that explained why objects fall downwards, how the moon causes the tides, and why planets and comets orbit the sun. While Newton's work has been added to over the years, his basic approach remains at the heart of the scientific worldview. Yet Newton's own had little in common with that of a modern scientist. He believed the universe was created to a precise and rational design – a design that was fully understood by the earliest people. Over time this knowledge was lost, and Newton considered it his life's work to rediscover it, whether through applied mathematics or a painstaking study of the Bible and other ancient texts. In chasing his impossible goal, Newton managed to contribute more to our understanding of the universe than anyone else in history. Andrew May went to the same Cambridge college, Trinity, as Sir Isaac Newton. After gaining his first degree in Natural Sciences he went on to do a PhD in astrophysics at Manchester University. This was on the subject of galactic dynamics, and the only physics he needed to know he was a Newtonian. He continued as a postdoc in the same area for four years, before moving into the more lucrative if shadowy world of defence science. He worked first in private industry, then in the Civil Service and then in private industry again, for a total of 24 years. He now earns his living as a freelance writer and defence consultant.
Book Synopsis Albert Einstein: pocket GIANTS by : Andrew May
Download or read book Albert Einstein: pocket GIANTS written by Andrew May and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has heard of Albert Einstein and everyone knows that he was a genius. Yet only a few people understand his work. In fact, he was just one of many brilliant scientists grappling with the deepest problems of theoretical physics during the first half of the twentieth century. He may not have been the most important or influential of them – the point is arguable – but there is no doubt he was the most revolutionary. Almost single-handed, he transformed the way the world thinks about light, matter, space and time.In the sixty years since his death Einstein has become a legend. The profound obscurity of his theories has contributed to this, as has his archetypal “mad scientist” appearance. His philosophical and political utterances – both real and imagined – are regularly used to clinch arguments online or in the pub. So how can a modern reader separate myth from reality? This short book attempts to do just that! ANDREW MAY has a degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University and a PhD in astrophysics from Manchester University. He went on to work in the shadowy world of defence science and now earns his living as a freelance writer and defence consultant. He is author of Isaac Newton pocket GIANT (2015).
Book Synopsis John Lennon: pocket GIANTS by : Robert Webb
Download or read book John Lennon: pocket GIANTS written by Robert Webb and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Lennon is a giant of popular music and culture. As one-quarter of the Beatles, he was in the vanguard of music, art, fashion and popular culture during the sixties. His music, humour and outspoken calls for peace inspired a generation. He stands as an iconic figure for those who lived through the sixties and seventies, as well as for those who grew up long after his untimely death in 1980. Above all, Lennon was one of the twentieth century's greatest and most important songwriters. Songs he wrote with Paul McCartney, such as 'She Loves You' and 'A Day in the Life', define an era. Others he wrote alone, such as 'God', 'Help!' and 'Revolution', betray an often complex, contradictory and troubled character. Lennon was never one to hide his love away, nor his anger, nor his convictions. In 2000 his anthem 'Imagine' was voted the song of the millennium.

Download or read book Isaac Newton written by Kathleen Krull and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was Isaac Newton like? Secretive, vindictive, withdrawn, obsessive, and, oh, yes, brilliant. His imagination was so large that, just "by thinking on it," he invented calculus and figured out the scientific explanation of gravity.Yet Newton was so small-minded that he set out to destroy other scientists who dared question his findings. Here is a compelling portrait of Newton, contradictions and all, that places him against the backdrop of 17th-century England, a time of plague, the Great Fire of London, and two revolutions.
Book Synopsis Out of the Shadow of a Giant by : John Gribbin
Download or read book Out of the Shadow of a Giant written by John Gribbin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of Ice Age “present a well-documented argument that [Newton] owed more to the ideas of others than he admitted” (Kirkus Reviews). Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose place in history has been overshadowed by the giant figure of Newton, were pioneering scientists within their own right, and instrumental in establishing the Royal Society. Although Newton is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time and the father of the English scientific revolution, John and Mary Gribbin uncover the fascinating story of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose scientific achievements neatly embrace the hundred years or so during which science as we know it became established. They argue persuasively that, even without Newton, science would have made a great leap forward in the second half of the seventeenth century, headed by two extraordinary figures, Hooke and Halley. “Science readers will thank the Gribbins for restoring Hooke and Halley to the prominence that they deserve.”—Publishers Weekly “Engaging . . . They offer proof that Hooke was an important scientist in his own right, and often had physical insights that were borrowed (usually without acknowledgement) by Newton.”—Choice

Book Synopsis Newton and the Counterfeiter by : Thomas Levenson
Download or read book Newton and the Counterfeiter written by Thomas Levenson and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already famous throughout Europe for his theories of planetary motion and gravity, Isaac Newton decided to take on the job of running the Royal Mint. And there, Newton became drawn into a battle with William Chaloner, the most skilful of counterfeiters, a man who not only got away with faking His Majesty's coins (a crime that the law equated with treason), but was trying to take over the Mint itself. But Chaloner had no idea who he was taking on. Newton pursued his enemy with the cold, implacable logic that he brought to his scientific research. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century London with its sewers running down the middle of the streets, its fetid rivers, its packed houses, smoke and fog, its industries and its great port, this dark tale of obsession and revenge transforms our image of Britain's greatest scientist.

Book Synopsis Religious Implications of Atheism by : Konstantin Volkodav
Download or read book Religious Implications of Atheism written by Konstantin Volkodav and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2020-12-19 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to finding answers to the main existential questions of every human’s life: who am I ontologically, do I have a higher purpose? These are the very “eternal questions” that make a human being human, the ability to ask them distinguishes a human from all other creatures in the universe. From time immemorial, people have argued about the criteria of truth, about the meaning of human life, and about the nature of things. Usually this was expressed in disputes between religions. About two hundred years ago, atheism arose in Christian Europe and began to take part in these controversies. For two hundred years, there have already been thousands of disputes on the topic “Religion and Atheism”, in which, as a rule, representatives of Christianity or Islam speak about religion. However, to analyze them abstractly, in general, would not be entirely correct. Therefore, here we will comment on one specific dispute, by the example of which we will try to reveal the essence of all similar disputes. This is a debate between a representative of Atheism and a representative of Islam. In addition, we will comment on the basis of the Christian worldview. Thus, a trialogue will be presented here-three points of view, and the discussed problems will be shown as if “three-dimensionally”. This book formulates the Particular Principle of Causality (the Phenomenon of Creativity), which serves as a solid foundation for any kind of evidence of the existence of God. It’s almost impossible to dispute. This principle is formulated for the first time in the book. The book also explores aspects of theodicy that have been a stumbling block for theologians throughout the centuries. In addition, many other important theological topics here are illuminated from unusual perspectives. Quite often, atheists oppose their concept to religions. This book intelligently explains that Atheism is a religion of unbelief.
