Total Addiction: The Life of an Eclipse Chaser by Kate Russo
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 188 Pages | ISBN : 364230480X | 2.2 MB

Seeing a total solar eclipse is often described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, for many who have experienced totality, once-in-a-lifetime is simply not enough. They want more, and are willing to go to great lengths often at great expense to repeat the experience. What is it like to experience totality? What is it about the experience that motivates these eclipse chasers? Is there an eclipse chaser personality? Can eclipse chasing actually be described as an addiction? This book describes the people who dedicate their lives to chasing their dream.

Chemicals for Life and Living

Chemicals for Life and Living by Eiichiro Ochiai
English | PDF | 2011 | 290 Pages | ISBN : 3642202721 | 8.8 MB

Chemicals often have a negative Image among the general public. But there is no material world or indeed human beings without chemicals. The material world is operated by chemicals. The title ‘Chemicals for Life and Living’ implies that the material world is staged and played by chemicals. The book consists of five parts and an appendix. Part 1 – Essentials for life; Part 2 – Enhancing health; Part 3 – For the fun of life; Part 4 – Chemistry of the universe and earth, and Part 5 - Some negative effects of chemicals. The appendix gives a brief summary of what chemistry is all about, including a short chapter of chemical principles. No quantitative calculations are included in this book so that it is appealing for everyone – not just chemists.

English| PDF(True) | 2011 | 266 Pages | ISBN : 3642202608 | 3.27 MB

This book follows the evolutionary trail all the way from the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago to conscious life today. It is an accessible introductory book written for the interested layperson – anyone interested in the ‘big picture’ coming from modern science. It covers a wide range of topics including the origin and evolution of our universe, the nature and origin of life, the evolution of life including questions of birth and death, the evolution of cognition, the nature of consciousness, the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the future of the universe. The book is written in a narrative style, as these topics are all parts of a single story. It concludes with a discussion on the nature and future of science.

Quantum Theory: Concepts and Methods

Quantum Theory: Concepts and Methods by Asher Peres
English | PDF (True) | 463 Pages | ISBN : 0792325494 | 4.5 MB

There are many excellent books on quantum theory from which one can learn to compute energy levels, transition rates, cross sections, etc. The theoretical rules given in these books are routinely used by physicists to compute observable quantities. Their predictions can then be compared with experimental data. There is no fundamental disagreement among physicists on how to use the theory for these practical purposes. However, there are profound differences in their opinions on the ontological meaning of quantum theory. The purpose of this book is to clarify the conceptual meaning of quantum theory, and to explain some of the mathematical methods which it utilizes.

The Universe Before the Big Bang: Cosmology and String Theory by Maurizio Gasperini
English | PDF | 2008 | 211 Pages | ISBN : 3540744193 | 3.9 MB

Terms such as "expanding Universe", "big bang", and "initial singularity", are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the Universe before the big bang? And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question? In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to the above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to reconstruct the history of the Universe even for times before the big bang.

Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Binaries

Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Binaries by Stanislav Babak
English | PDF(True) | 2020 | 117 Pages | ISBN : 1681737027 | 5.4 MB

This book is to help post-graduate students to get into gravitational wave astronomy. We assume the knowledge of General Relativity theory, though we will concentrate on the physics and often omit mathematically strict derivations. We provide references to already existing literature where possible, this helps us to see a broad picture, skipping the details. The uniqueness of this book is in that it covers three frequency bands and three major world-wide efforts to detect gravitational waves.

Mercury 13: La vera storia di tredici donne e del sogno di volare nello spazio by Martha Ackmann
Italiano | PDF | 2011 | 314 Pages | ISBN : 8847019915 | 2.7 MB

A cavallo del 1960, tredici donne pilota americane hanno sostenuto e superato brillantemente gli stessi test a cui venivano sottoposti gli astronauti (maschi) americani. Purtroppo i tempi non erano maturi, le donne erano ancora tenute essenzialmente a fare le "mogli dell'astronauta", e la Luna è rimasta un sogno per tutte loro. Eppure, i loro sforzi non sono stati vani: la

Topological Derivatives in Shape Optimization by Antonio André Novotny
English | PDF | 2013 | 422 Pages | ISBN : 3642352448 | 4.6 MB

The topological derivative is defined as the first term (correction) of the asymptotic expansion of a given shape functional with respect to a small parameter that measures the size of singular domain perturbations, such as holes, inclusions, defects, source-terms and cracks. Over the last decade, topological asymptotic analysis has become a broad, rich and fascinating research area from both theoretical and numerical standpoints.
