Hawking","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Hawking has earned a reputation as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein. In this landmark volume, Professor Hawking shares his blazing intellect with nonscientists everywhere, guiding us expertly to confront the supreme questions of the nature of time and the universe. Was there a beginning of time? Will there be an end? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? From Galileo and Newton to modern astrophysics, from the breathtakingly cast to the extraordinarily tiny, Professor Hawking leads us on an exhilarating journey to distant galaxies, black holes, and alternate dimensions--as close as man has ever ventured to the mind of God. From the vantage point of the wheelchair from which he has spent more than twenty years trapped by Lou Gehrig's disease, Stephen Hawking has transformed our view of the universe. Cogently explained, and passionately revealed, \u003cem\u003eA Brief History of Time\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of the ultimate quest for knowledge: the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space. A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes is a book on theoretical cosmology by the physicist Stephen Hawking. It was first published in 1988. Hawking wrote the book for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn A Brief History of Time, Hawking writes in non-technical terms about the structure, origin, development, and eventual fate of the Universe, which is the object of study of astronomy and modern physics. He talks about basic concepts like space and time, basic building blocks that make up the Universe (such as quarks), and the fundamental forces that govern it (such as gravity). He writes about cosmological phenomena such as the Big Bang and black holes. He discusses two major theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, that modern scientists use to describe the Universe. Finally, he talks about the search for a unifying theory that describes everything in the Universe in a coherent manner.

All the stories in this volume are supplemented by afterwords commenting on the science underlying each story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMike Brotherton is a professor of astronomy from the University of Wyoming who specializes in observational studies of quasars, enigmatic objects powered by supermassive black holes.

Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Both pseudoscience and science fiction (SF) are creative endeavours that have little in common with academic science, beyond the superficial trappings of jargon and subject matter. The most obvious difference between the two is that pseudoscience is presented as fact, not fiction. Yet like SF, and unlike real science, pseudoscience is driven by a desire to please an audience - in this case, people who \"want to believe.\" This has led to significant cross-fertilization between the two disciplines. SF authors often draw on \"real\" pseudoscientific theories to add verisimilitude to their stories, while on other occasions pseudoscience takes its cue from SF - the symbiotic relationship between ufology and Hollywood being a prime example of this. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This engagingly written, well researched and richly illustrated text explores a wide range of intriguing similarities and differences between pseudoscience and the fictional science found in SF. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAndrew May\u003c\/b\u003e has a degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University and a PhD in astrophysics from Manchester University.

The phrase \"the known galaxy\" has a particular resonance in science fiction, as it refers to the part of the Milky Way that from the perspective of a point in time centuries from now may have been explored and settled by human beings. In the known galaxy, there are gloomy ocean worlds illuminated by the light of exploding stars. There are worlds where precious gems could be as common as pebbles. There are planets eternally wandering between the stars like the Flying Dutchman. There are lava worlds, steam worlds, hot Jupiters, cold Jupiters and maybe even worlds like our Earth. The purpose of the book is to begin to give this region a sense of place, in the same way that Mars is now starting to be appreciated as a location rather than just a planet. In doing so, the book merges our current scientific knowledge of the known galaxy with speculative fiction and with older legends and myths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sense of place is the feeling that some locations have a special meaning. This emotional connection arises from a combination of cultural and environmental factors that make individuals care about a particular place. It is challenging to create a sense of place for distant locations that no human has visited and for which our current knowledge is limited. This book attempts to take a step in this direction, by dividing the known galaxy into a number of clearly described distinct regions, by providing scientific descriptions of the likely environmental conditions on the known planets of these regions, and by linking these planets to their literary and mythological context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is aimed at fans of both science fact and science fiction. It combines a tour of real planets outside of our solar system with tales of their fictional counterparts. The combination of solid scientific facts and analysis with speculation and imagination will be appealing to readers who want to gain a feeling for these planets as places with a back story, rather than just as names somewhere out there in the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores \"the known galaxy,\" the region of the Milky Way nearest to Earth, often referred to in science fiction as the part of our galaxy that humanity might have explored first in the future.

As he did so, he uttered his famous declaration: \"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.\" But how did he and Buzz Aldrin reach the moon? What was their journey like? In this gorgeously illustrated book, readers join the crew of Apollo 11 as they race into space and reach incredible new heights.

At the outset this group included the wives, sisters, and daughters of the resident astronomers, but soon the female corps included graduates of the new women's colleges--Vassar, Wellesley, and Smith.

They helped discern what stars were made of, divided the stars into meaningful categories for further research, and found a way to measure distances across space by starlight. Their ranks included Williamina Fleming, a Scottish woman originally hired as a maid who went on to identify ten novae and more than three hundred variable stars; Annie Jump Cannon, who designed a stellar classification system that was adopted by astronomers the world over and is still in use; and Dr. Cecilia Helena Payne, who in 1956 became the first ever woman professor of astronomy at Harvard--and Harvard's first female department chair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElegantly written and enriched by excerpts from letters, diaries, and memoirs, \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Universe\u003c\/i\u003e is the hidden history of the women whose contributions to the burgeoning field of astronomy forever changed our understanding of the stars and our place in the universe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDAVA SOBEL is the author of five books, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eLongitude, Galileo's Daughter, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Planets\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Universe.\u003c\/i\u003e A former \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003escience reporter and longtime contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAudubon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDiscover\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHarvard Magazine, \u003c\/i\u003e she is the recipient of the National Science Board's Individual Public Service Award and the Boston Museum of Science's Bradford Washburn Award, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403412042033,"sku":"9780143111344","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/vtxRyftK8w9780143111344.webp?v=1781204315"},{"product_id":"a-portable-cosmos-revealing-the-antikythera-mechanism-scientific-wonder-of-the-ancient-world-paperback","title":"A Portable Cosmos: Revealing the Antikythera Mechanism, Scientific Wonder of the Ancient World - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAlexander Jones\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Terracotta Army, ancient artifacts have long fascinated the modern world. However, the importance of some discoveries is not always immediately understood. This was the case in 1901 when sponge divers retrieved a lump of corroded bronze from a shipwreck at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea near the Greek island of Antikythera. Little did the divers know they had found the oldest known analog computer in the world, an astonishing device that once simulated the motions of the stars and planets as they were understood by ancient Greek astronomers. Its remains now consist of 82 fragments, many of them containing gears and plates engraved with Greek words, that scientists and scholars have pieced back together through painstaking inspection and deduction, aided by radiographic tools and surface imaging. More than a century after its discovery, many of the secrets locked in this mysterious device can now be revealed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to chronicling the unlikely discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism, author Alexander Jones takes readers through a discussion of how the device worked, how and for what purpose it was created, and why it was on a ship that wrecked off the Greek coast around 60 BC. What the Mechanism has uncovered about Greco-Roman astronomy and scientific technology, and their place in Greek society, is truly amazing. The mechanical know-how that it embodied was more advanced than anything the Greeks were previously thought capable of, but the most recent research has revealed that its displays were designed so that an educated layman could understand the behavior of astronomical phenomena, and how intertwined they were with one's natural and social environment. It was at once a masterpiece of machinery as well as one of the first portable teaching devices.

Discovering the universe can be a daunting hobby when you first begin. Finding out what you need and how you go about observing the cosmos is not immediately obvious. Through a career spanning 45 years as a science communicator, Rod Somerville takes you on a journey that bridges the gap between being a complete novice to that of a keen amateur astronomer. Offering inspiration, insight, and information in easy to understand language, he makes the universe accessible to everyone. Along the way you will discover answers to almost every question a budding astronomer might ask - and more. Parents will value this book as a resource, enabling them to answer all those pesky questions from children, or grandchildren, wanting to acquire a telescope or binoculars for Christmas. And what do you do if you see a UFO? With many thoughts not found in any other astronomy book, it is a must read before immediately jumping to an extra-terrestrial conclusion. If you ever find yourself looking at the stars and wanting to discover more about the universe, then this is the book for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52404116717873,"sku":"9780645098730","price":42.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/5LNTYZ0BOu9780645098730.webp?v=1781214871"},{"product_id":"ufos-generals-pilots-and-government-officials-go-on-the-record-paperback","title":"UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eLeslie Kean\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER - Impeccably researched, this riveting journalistic investigation separates fact from fiction, and documents the unexplained mysteries of--and government reactions to--actual UFOs. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A treasure trove of insightful and eye-opening information.\"--Michio Kaku, PH.D., bestselling author of \u003ci\u003ePhysics of the Future\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeslie Kean, a veteran investigative reporter who has spent the past ten years studying the still-unexplained UFO phenomenon, reviewed hundreds of government documents, aviation reports, radar data, and case studies with corroborating physical evidence.

A prolific writer and television personality, he was creator and host of \u003ci\u003eCosmos\u003c\/i\u003e, an enormously popular television series that explained the wonders and intricacies of astronomy to millions of television viewers. Gifted with the ability to communicate difficult scientific concepts to the average person, Sagan opened up the wonders of science to hundreds of thousands more through his many books and magazine articles. But in addition to his talents as a science popularizer, Sagan was a first-rate scientist. Ever persistent in exploring the possibility of life on other planets in the Universe, he was a pioneer in the field now known as astrobiology, a major thrust of NASA's current planetary explorations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book takes a fascinating look at all aspects of the life of Carl Sagan: Sagan the working scientist, who was an inspired and creative participant in the forefront of the new and exciting era of astronomy opened up by the technological breakthroughs of the space age; Sagan the advocate for science, who could expound on the beauties and joys of science as well as point out the follies and foibles of pseudoscience; and Sagan the activist, who helped raise our awareness to the perils of the Nuclear Age that threatened all of us. Following the arc of Sagan's personal and professional life, this book examines both the man and the provocative ideas he brought to this new era, always seeking to capture the infectious enthusiasm and love of communication that infused Carl Sagan's life and work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAY SPANGENBURG, with Kit Moser has written many books on science and the history of science, including \u003ci\u003eNiels Boher: Gentle Genius of Denmark\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and the \u003ci\u003eOn the Shoulders of Giants\u003c\/i\u003e series (1994) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKIT MOSER, with Ray Spangenburg, has written many books on science and the history of science, including \u003ci\u003eNiels Boher: Gentle Genius of Denmark\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and the \u003ci\u003eOn the Shoulders of Giants\u003c\/i\u003e series (1994)\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.3 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52405369274673,"sku":"9780313322655","price":93.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/pqRqx8ueUM9780313322655.webp?v=1781219128"},{"product_id":"the-gospel-in-the-stars-biblical-astronomy-the-heavens-above-their-importance-in-the-new-testament-gospels-of-jesus-christ-paperback","title":"The Gospel in the Stars: Biblical Astronomy; The Heavens Above, Their Importance in the New Testament Gospels of Jesus Christ - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eJoseph a.

After a revelatory experience, Gerrard Hickson began to dispute the distances involved between the Earth and the Sun. This book broadens and expands its scope, questioning the validity of assumptions in astronomical science. Using the work of the ancient Greek and Roman scientists as a starting point, Hickson takes us through millennia of developments, asserting that the basis of established science is unsound and in need of substantial overhaul. Later chapters are occupied with refuting the theories propagated by physicist Albert Einstein. Conceding that the notion of relativity is clever, Hickson nevertheless posits that it is based on unsound assumptions and is thus invalid. For the author, relativity is - alongside Newtonian physics and earlier theories of antiquity - a further step toward the wrongness that defines conventional astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 19, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52405924725041,"sku":"9780359738205","price":21.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/X3ezU-rls_9780359738205.webp?v=1783072675"},{"product_id":"space-shuttle-columbia-her-missions-and-crews-paperback","title":"Space Shuttle Columbia: Her Missions and Crews - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eBen Evans\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn February 1st 2003, one most public disaster in the human space program unfolded in the skies above north central Texas.

Simon Critchley argues that we must see \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e as a radicalization of Husserl's phenomenology, particularly his theories of intentionality, categorial intuition, and the phenomenological concept of the a priori. This leads to a reappraisal and defense of Heidegger's conception of phenomenology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, Reiner Schürmann urges us to read Heidegger 'backward', arguing that his later work is the key to unravelling \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e. Through a close reading of \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e Schürmann demonstrates that this work is ultimately aporetic because the notion of Being elaborated in his later work is already at play within it. This is the first time that Schürmann's renowned lectures on Heidegger have been published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book concludes with Critchley's reinterpretation of the importance of authenticity in \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e. Arguing for what he calls an 'originary inauthenticity', Critchley proposes a relational understanding of the key concepts of the second part of \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e: death, conscience and temporality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven Levine is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University ofMassachusetts, Boston.
