  • Newton's Gravity

    An Introductory Guide to the Mechanics of the Universe

    de Douglas W. MacDougal ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    “Newton’s Gravity” conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people, for example, know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the actual pulls of the Moon and Sun on the oceans. This book shows in clear detail how to do this with ... Leer más

  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

    Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life

    de Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we ... Leer más

  • Intelligent Life in the Universe

    Principles and Requirements Behind Its Emergence

    de Peter Ulmschneider ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book addresses all scientists and others interested in the origins, development and fate of intelligent species in the observable part of our universe. In particular, the author scrutinizes what kind of information about extraterrestrial intelligent life can be inferred from our own biological, cultural and scientific evolution and the likely future of mankind. The first part of the book ... Leer más

  • Under a Crimson Sun

    Prospects for Life in a Red Dwarf System

    de David S. Stevenson ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star some 20.3 light years from Earth. Red dwarfs are among the most numerous stars in the galaxy, and they sport diverse planetary systems. At magnitude 10, Gliese 581 is visible to amateur observers but does not stand out. So what makes this star so important? It is that professional observers have confirmed that it has at least four planets orbiting it, and in 2009, ... Leer más

  • Meteorites

    Messengers from Space

    de Fritz Heide, Frank Wlotzka ...
    Traducido por R.S.Jr. Clarke, Frank Wlotzka ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Meteorites - as well as shooting stars and meteors - result from a collision of a solid body from space with our Earth, but only meteorites are able to penetrate the Earth's protective shield, the atmosphere, and fall to the Earth's surface. Before the return of lunar samples, they were the only materials from beyond the Earth which we could take in hand and study.This book gives a concise and up ... Leer más

  • Living Among Giants

    Exploring and Settling the Outer Solar System

    de Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The outer Solar System is rich in resources and may be the best region in which to search for life beyond Earth. In fact, it may ultimately be the best place for Earthlings to set up permanent abodes. This book surveys the feasibility of that prospect, covering the fascinating history of exploration that kicks off our adventure into the outer Solar System.Although other books provide surveys of ...

  • Formation, Evolution, and Dynamics of Young Solar Systems

    Edición de Martin Pessah, Oliver Gressel ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book's interdisciplinary scope aims at bridging various communities: 1) cosmochemists, who study meteoritic samples from our own solar system, 2) (sub-) millimetre astronomers, who measure the distribution of dust and gas of star-forming regions and planet-forming discs, 3) disc modellers, who describe the complex photo-chemical structure of parametric discs to fit these to observation, 4) ...
