PDF-(BOOS)-The Dialogues: Conversations about the Nature of the Universe (The MIT Press)

A series of conversations about science in graphic form on subjects that range from the science of cooking to the multiversePhysicist Clifford Johnson thinks that we should have more conversations about science Science should be on our daily conversation menu along with topics like politics books sports or the latest prestige cable drama Conversations about science he tells us shouldnt be left to the experts In The Dialogues Johnson invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations in graphicnovel formwritten and drawn by Johnsonabout the nature of the universe The conversations take place all over the world in museums on trains in restaurants in what may or may not be Freuds favorite coffeehouse The conversationalists are men women children experts and amateur science buffs The topics of their conversations range from the science of cooking to the multiverse and string theory The graphic form is especially suited for physics one drawing can show what it would take many words to explainIn the first conversation a couple meets at a costume party they speculate about a scientist with superhero powers who doesnt use them to fight crime but to do more science and they discuss what it means to have a beautiful equation in science Their conversation spills into another chapter Hold on you havent told me about light yet and in a third chapter they exchange phone numbers Another couple meets on a train and discusses immortality time black holes and religion A brother and sister experiment with a grain of rice Two women sit in a sunny courtyard and discuss the multiverse quantum gravity and the anthropic principle After reading these conversations we are ready to start our own.

The horizon narrowed and widened, and dipped and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust up in points like rocks.“.

Textbook – “The Cosmic Perspective – Stars, Galaxies, Cosmology” – Bennett, Donahue, Schneider, and Introduces new approaches, theoretical trends, and understudied topics in Latinx StudiesThis groundbreaking work offers a multidisciplinary, social-science oriented perspective on Latinx studies, including the social histories and contemporary lives of a diverse range of Latina and Latino populations. Editors Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas and M?rida M. R?a have crafted an anthology that is unique in both form and content. The book combines previously published canonical pieces with original, cutting-edge works created for this volume. The sections of the text are arranged thematically as critical dialogues, each with a brief preface that provides context and a conceptual direction for the scholarly conversation that ensues.The editors frame the volume around the humanistic social sciences, using the term to highlight the historical and social contexts under which expressive cultural forms and archival records are created.Critical Dialogues in Latinx Studies masterfully sheds light on the diversity and complexity of the everyday lives of Latinx populations, the political economic structures that shape enduring racialization and cultural stereotyping, and the continuing efforts to carve out new lives as diasporic, transnational, global, and colonial subjects. A pioneering space archaeologist explores artifacts left behind in space and on Earth, from moon dust to Elon Musk\'s red sports car.Alice Gorman is a space archaeologist: she examines the artifacts of human encounters with space. These objects, left behind on Earth and in space, can be massive (dead satellites in eternal orbit) or tiny (discarded zip ties around a defunct space antenna). They can be bold (an American flag on the moon) or hopeful (messages from Earth sent into deep space). They raise interesting questions: Why did Elon Musk feel compelled to send a red Tesla into space? What accounts for the multiple rocket-themed playgrounds constructed after the Russians launched Sputnik? Gorman--affectionately known as Dr Space Junk --takes readers on a journey through the solar system and beyond, deploying space artifacts, historical explorations, and even the occasional cocktail recipe in search of the ways that we make space meaningful.Engaging and erudite, Gorman recounts her background as a (nonspace) archaeologist and how she became interested in space artifacts. She shows us her own piece of space junk: a fragment of the fuel tank insulation from Skylab, the NASA spacecraft that crash-landed in Western Australia in 1979. She explains that the conventional view of the space race as the triumph of the white, male American astronaut seems inadequate what really interests her, she says, is how everyday people engage with space. To an archaeologist, objects from the past are significant because they remind us of what we might want to hold on to in the future. By now, your child will already understand the big concepts on astronomy. Included in this astronomy book are the history and future of space exploration as well as the types of equipment needed for a safe space travel. In addition, your student will learn about the scientific evidence for the origin, as well as age, of the universe. Read this book today. A call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material world.We live in a material world of designed artifacts, both digital and analog. We think of ourselves as users the platforms, devices, or objects provide a service that we can use. But is this really the case? We Are Not Users argues that people cannot be reduced to the entity called “user” we are not homogenous but diverse. That buzz of dissonance that we hear reflects the difficulty of condensing our diversity into “one size fits all.” This book proposes that a new understanding of design could resolve that dissonance, and issues a call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material world. The authors envision designing as a dialogue, simultaneously about the individual and the social—an act enriched by diversity of both disciplines and perspectives.The book presents the building blocks of a language that can conceive designing in all its richness, with relevance for both theory and practice. It introduces a theoretical model, terminology, examples, and a framework for bringing together the social, cultural, and political aspects of designing. It will be essential reading for design theorists and for designers in areas ranging from architecture to software design and policymaking.
