See the universe like never before, through brief portraits of 100 stars with incredible stories and science to shareThe story of the universe is also a story about humans—from mythology to science fiction, the star of Bethlehem to the Gaia space mission. Astronomer Florian Freistetter explores it all in The Story of the Universe in 100 Stars. His handpicked group of celestial bodies are the guests you’d want most at a “dinner with the stars”! Short, easy-to-read chapters introduce:- stellar explosion GRB 080319B, the farthest object ever observed with the naked eye- Algol, called the “Demon Star” for its mysterious blinking- Delta Cephei, whose clocklike changes helped astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt measure the universe... and more shining personalities!Freistetter reveals what stars can tell us about the extinction of the dinosaurs and the search for extraterrestrial life, as he explores how stars influence our culture and thinking. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your journey through the cosmos. The Physical Universe, 15e by Konrad Krauskopf and Arthur Beiser is an outstanding text with a long history that has been updated and given a fresh look. This edition is also accompanied by a strong media component with the Connect online homework system, personal response system (clicker) questions, more extensive online quizzing, and PowerPoint lectures. Aimed at presenting the essentials of physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy in a clear, easy-to-understand way, The Physical Universe shows students how science works, how scientists approach problems, and why science constantly evolves in its search for understanding. The text can also be packaged with its long time companion student study guide, which includes a review of chapter terms and concepts self quizzing for extra practice and additional solved problems. Humankind has grappled for millennia with the fundamental questions of the origin and end of the universe--it was a focus of ancient religions and myths and of the inquiries of Aristotle, Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. Today we are at the brink of discoveries that should soon reveal the deepest secrets of the universe.Alpha and Omega is a dispatch from the front lines of the cosmological revolution that is being waged at observatories and laboratories around the world-in Europe, in America, and even in Antarctica--where scientists are actually peering into both the cradle of the universe and its grave. Scientists--including galaxy hunters and microwave eavesdroppers, gravity theorists and atom smashers, all of whom are on the trail of dark matter, dark energy, and the growing inhabitants of the particle zoo-now know how the universe will end and are on the brink of understanding its beginning. Their findings will be among the greatest triumphs of science, even towering above the deciphering of the human genome.This is the book you need to help understand the frequent front-page headlines heralding dramatic cosmological discoveries. It makes cutting-edge science both crystal clear and wonderfully exciting. Join Kanna, Kanta, Yamane, and Gloria in The Manga Guide to the Universe as they explore our solar system, the Milky Way, and faraway galaxies in search of the universe’s greatest mysteries: dark matter, cosmic expansion, and the Big Bang itself.As you rocket across the night sky, you’ll become acquainted with modern astronomy and astrophysics, as well as the classical discoveries and theories on which they’re built. You’ll even learn why some scientists believe finding extraterrestrial life is inevitable!You’ll also learn about:Discoveries made by Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Hubble, and other seminal astronomersTheories of the universe’s origins, evolution, and geometryThe ways you can measure and observe heavenly bodies with different telescopes, and how astronomers calculate distances in spaceStellar classifications and how the temperature, size, and magnitude of a star are relatedCosmic background radiation, what the WMAP satellite discovered, and scientists’ predictions for the future of the universeSo dust off your flight suit and take a fantastic voyage through the cosmos in The Manga Guide to the Universe. A series of conversations about science in graphic form, on subjects that range from the science of cooking to the multiverse.Physicist 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, shouldn\'t be left to the experts. In The Dialogues, Johnson invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations, in graphic-novel form--written and drawn by Johnson--about 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 Freud\'s 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 explain.In the first conversation, a couple meets at a costume party they speculate about a scientist with superhero powers who doesn\'t 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 haven\'t 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. 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.
