PDF-(BOOS)-Archaeoastronomy: Introduction to the Science of Stars and Stones (Undergraduate

This is a second edition of a textbook that provides the first comprehensive easytoread and uptodate account of the fascinating discipline of archaeoastronomy in which the relationship between ancient constructions and the sky is studied in order to gain a better understanding of the ideas of the architects of the past and of their religious and symbolic worlds The book is divided into three sections the first of which explores the past relations between astronomy and people power the afterworld architecture and landscape The second part then discusses in detail the fundamentals of archaeoastronomy including the celestial coordinates the apparent motion of the sun moon stars and planets observation of celestial bodies at the horizon the use of astronomical software in archaeoastronomy and current methods for making and analyzing measurements The final section reviews what archaeoastronomy can now tell us about the nature and purpose of such sites and structures as Stonehenge the Pyramids of Giza Chichen Itza the Angkor Temples the Campus Martius and the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento In addition it provides a set of exercises that can be performed using noncommercial free software eg Google Earth or Stellarium and that will equip readers to conduct their own research This new edition features an augmented reality framework which on the one hand enhances the didactic value of the book using direct links to the relevant sections of the authors MOOC online lessons and on the other allows readers to directly experience albeit virtually many of the spectacular archaeological sites described in the book This is an ideal introduction to what has become a wideranging multidisciplinary science.

It presents astrophysics from basic principles without requiring any previous study of astronomy or astrophysics. It serves as a comprehensive introductory text, which takes the student through the field of astrophysics in lecture-sized chapters of basic physical principles applied to the cosmos.This one-semester overview will be enjoyed by undergraduate students with an interest in the physical sciences, such as astronomy, chemistry, engineering or physics, as well as by any curious student interested in learning about our celestial science. The mathematics required for understanding the text is on the level of simple algebra, for that is all that is needed to describe the fundamental principles.The text is of sufficient breadth and depth to prepare the interested student for more advanced specialised courses in the future. Astronomical examples are provided throughout the text, to reinforce the basic concepts and physics, and to demonstrate the use of the relevant formulae. In this way, the student learns to apply the fundamental equations and principles to cosmic objects and situations. Astronomical and physical constants and units as well as the most fundamental equations can be found in the appendix. Essential Astrophysics goes beyond the typical textbook by including references to the seminal papers in the field, with further reference to recent applications, results, or specialised literature. Provides a physics-centered analysis of a broad range of astronomical systems that appeals to a large audience of advanced undergraduate students in physics and engineeringThis book gives a survey of astrophysics at the advanced undergraduate level. It originates from a two-semester course sequence at Rutgers University that is meant to appeal not only to astrophysics students but also more broadly to physics and engineering students. The organization is driven more by physics than by astronomy in other words, topics are first developed in physics and then applied to astronomical systems that can be investigated, rather than the other way around.The first half of the book focuses on gravity. Gravity is the dominant force in many astronomical systems, so a tremendous amount can be learned by studying gravity, motion and mass. The theme in this part of the book, as well as throughout astrophysics, is using motion to investigate mass. The goal of Chapters 2-11 is to develop a progressively richer understanding of gravity as it applies to objects ranging from planets and moons to galaxies and the universe as a whole. The second half uses other aspects of physics to address one of the big questions. While Why are we here? lies beyond the realm of physics, a closely related question is within our reach: How did we get here? The goal of Chapters 12-20 is to understand the physics behind the remarkable story of how the Universe, Earth and life were formed. This book assumes familiarity with vector calculus and introductory physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, gas physics and atomic physics) however, all of the physics topics are reviewed as they come up (and vital aspects of vector calculus are reviewed in the Appendix). The Desired Brand Effect Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Brand This state-of-the-art survey provides a systematic overview of the ideas and techniques of the adaptive Web and serves as a central source of information for researchers practitioners and students. The volume constitutes a comprehensive and carefully planned collection of chapters that map out the most important areas of the adaptive Web each solicited from the experts and leaders in the field. This volume and its companion volume LNAI 4441 constitute a state-of-the-art survey in the field of speaker classification. Together they address such intriguing issues as how speaker characteristics are manifested in voice and speaking behavior. The nineteen contributions in this volume are organized into topical sections covering fundamentals characteristics applications methods and evaluation. Learning Intentions . Properties of Stars. In this topic we are going to examine: . temperature and colour of a star. spectral class. the power of a star. stellar luminosity. apparent brightness. symbols.
