Book excerpt: Carl Sagan once noted that there is only one generation that gets to see things for the first time. We are in the midst of such a time right now, standing on the threshold of discovery in the young and remarkable field of X-ray astronomy. In The Restless Universe, astronomer Eric Schlegel offers readers an informative survey of this cutting-edge science. Two major space observatories launched in the last few years--NASA's Chandra and the European Newton--are now orbiting the Earth, sending back a gold mine of data on the X-ray universe. Schlegel, who has worked on the Chandra project for seven years, describes the building and launching of this space-based X-ray observatory. But the book goes far beyond the story of Chandra. What Schlegel provides here is the background a nonscientist would need to grasp the present and follow the future of X-ray astronomy. He looks at the relatively brief history of the field, the hardware used to detect X-rays, the satellites--past, present, and future--that have been or will be flown to collect the data, the way astronomers interpret this data, and, perhaps most important, the insights we have already learned as well as speculations about what we may soon discover. And throughout the book, Schlegel conveys the excitement of looking at the universe from the perspective brought by these new observatories and the sharper view they deliver. Drawing on observations obtained from Chandra, Newton, and previous X-ray observatories, The Restless Universe gives a first look at an exciting field which significantly enriches our understanding of the universe.

Download or read book Reading Popular Physics written by Elizabeth Leane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Popular Physics is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the nature and implications of physics popularizations. A literary critic trained in science, Elizabeth Leane treats popular science writing as a distinct and significant genre, focusing particularly on five bestselling books: Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, Steven Weinberg's The First Three Minutes, James Gleick's Chaos, M. Mitchell Waldrop's Complexity, and Gary Zukav's The Dancing Wu Li Masters. Leane situates her examination of the texts within the heated interdisciplinary exchanges known as the 'Science Wars', focusing specifically on the disputed issue of the role of language in science. Her use of literary analysis reveals how popular science books function as sites for 'disciplinary skirmishes' as she uncovers the ways in which popularizers of science influence the public. In addition to their explicit discussion of scientific concepts, Leane argues, these authors employ subtle textual strategies that encode claims about the nature and status of scientific knowledge - claims that are all the more powerful because they are unacknowledged. Her book will change the way these texts are read, offering readers a fresh perspective on this highly visible and influential genre.

Book excerpt: Chemistry: Imagination and Implication focuses on the importance and impact of chemistry on daily living. This book discusses the essential concepts of chemistry and its application. Organized into 16 chapters, this book starts with an overview of the experimental facts, principles, and methods of chemistry as an aid in exercising intelligent and informed judgment in instances where controversy surrounds the interaction of chemistry with society or the individual. This text then explores the practical arts of metallurgy, which achieved a considerable degree of sophistication long before they were scientifically understood. The reader is then introduced to the atomic concept, the conservation of mass, as well as to the substances that constitute the living things. Other chapters consider the polymerization of amino acids into peptides and proteins. The final chapter examines the various applications of radioactive isotopes produced in particle accelerators. This book is intended for students and teachers who are involved in a chemistry course.

Download or read book Fe: an Atom's Tale written by Benjamin Bronte and published by Elegua Editions LLC. This book was released on with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born from a dying red giant, the atom Fe orbits the early Solar system, trapped aboard an iron-nickel asteroid. Now, after billions of years of waiting, Fe is about to fall to Earth and into the clutches of vicious and clever Homo sapiens. Cloud Atlas meets Forrest Gump meets Albert Einstein in this fast-paced, grippingly brilliant 8-billion-year biography of the universe’s most interesting iron atom. Benjamin Bronte’s brilliant debut novel FE: AN ATOM’S TALE (Elegua Editions, May 28, 2024) is an ingenious telling of humanity’s past, present, and future, all through the quantum-scale perspective of a single atom. Near-indestructible and ineffably magnetic, Fe is a hero like no other. After its flaming, plummeting asteroid slams into the sands of ancient Mesopotamia, Fe finds itself forged into a deadly weapon by powerful princes whose peoples have not yet discovered the secret of iron smelting. Time, gravity, and fundamental forces march ever onwards, leaving unforgettable characters and their deeply-human narratives behind, following the immortal and infinitesimal Fe to its next grand adventure. Thrilling scenes of the Second World War give way to the humorous, and often maddening, complexity of our own overconnected 21st-century world–only for Fe to leave Earth forever, welded into a spaceship, destined to settle other worlds… In FE: AN ATOM’S TALE, the science on every page is meticulously accurate, while its immersive, metaphor-rich writing style ensures that readers remain entertained rather than overwhelmed. Benjamin Bronte’s training as a physicist and educator, paired with relentless research, has produced an unprecedented level of plausibility for a work of science fiction. Readers of FE: AN ATOM’S TALE will learn how magnetic fields work during a shoot-out in a drug lab, and they’ll come to appreciate the role of hemoglobin while enjoying a tribal feast. Following Fe, readers will learn about metallurgy, cosmology, how to break into the Louvre, dive-bombers, fair prices for classic guitars, photosynthesis, and how to accidentally start a religion. Fe may be a single, mindless atom of iron, but what other novel’s main character rides on a meteor, is captured by Nazis, and lives inside a goat? Fe’s may be the smallest story ever told, but no other novel has gone so deep and in such an entertaining manner. Garnering instant praise from fans in early releases, FE: AN ATOM’S TALE is proving to be a remarkably unique, and remarkably entertaining, debut. Written in the spirit of Isaac Asimov and hard science fiction like Steven Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke, FE: AN ATOM’S TALE presents something entirely new: a groundbreaking novel that puts the ‘science’ back in science fiction.
