PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Conjuring the Universe: The Origins of the Laws of Nature

The marvellous complexity of the Universe emerges from several deep laws and a handful of fundamental constants that fix its shape scale and destiny There is a deep structure to the world which at the same time is simple elegant and beautiful Where did these laws and these constants comefrom And why are the laws so fruitful when written in the language of mathematicsPeter Atkins considers the minimum effort needed to equip the Universe with its laws and its constants He explores the origin of the conservation of energy of electromagnetism of classical and quantum mechanics and of thermodynamics showing how all these laws spring from deep symmetries Therevolutionary result is a short but immensely rich weaving together of the fundamental ideas of physics With his characteristic wit erudition and economy Atkins sketches out how the laws of Nature can spring from very little Or arguably from nothing at all.

In 1955 on a visit to South Africa, Robert Ardrey became aware of the growing evidence that man had evolved on the African continent from carnivorous, predatory stock, who had also, long before man, achieved the use of weapons. A dramatist, Ardrey\'s interest in the African discoveries sprang less from purely scientific grounds than from the radical new light they cast on the eternal question: Why do we behave as we do? Are we naturally inclined towards war and weapons? From 1955 to 1961, Ardrey commuted between the museums and libraries and laboratories of the North, and the games reserves and fossil beds of Africa trying to answer that question. Eventually, his investigation expanded to include nationalism and patriotism, private property and social order, hierarchy and status-seeking, even conscience. All revealed roots in our most ancient animal beginnings and parallels in primate societies. African Genesis is at once the story of an unprecedented personal search and a story of man that had never before been told. It is a shocking book in that it challenges assumptions of human uniqueness that color every segment of modern thought and every aspect of our daily life. While evolutionary science has advanced markedly since Ardrey\'s times, his insights on human behavior have a timeless quality and African Genesis remains a classic reference for anyone exploring life\'s biggest questions. Praise for the 1961 edition: It is fate and fortune of some books to mark or make a turning point in science and culture. This I believe African Genesis will do. Dr Harlow Shapley, Harvard University The most enjoyable and stimulating book on the evolution of man that has been published for some time. The Nation What this sensational book presents is a new and radical interpretation of human behavior. Since Ardrey has written it with excitement, clarity and style, the book will undoubtedly be widely read and cause widespread controversy. But African Genesis also deserves the most serious attention on the part of scientists as well as laymen. Dr Kenneth Oakley, Leading British Anthropologist, Senior Principal Scientific Officer, British Museum Mr Ardrey\'s African Genesis is a fascinating drama played on a very broad and deep stage of space, time, biological evolution and ideas. The theme develops around man\'s striving to collect evidence and to understand the relational orders and timed sequences of living organisms. The search is for rational light on the true place of man himself in these biotic orders, and in the vast sweeps of the controlling environments. In this high drama the characters enter, leave relics and artifacts, act their roles as species, express their views and then exit. Among the characters are men of prehistory, nonhuman primates and the searching scientists themselves. The latter quarrel and dispute, cooperate and agree, strive for status and retreat from controversy. They are \'humans\' as portrayed skillfully by Ardrey. Nevertheless, they contribute to the slowly advancing understanding of man in his living world or to what Ardrey describes as a revolution of biological conceptions. C. R. Carpenter, Penn State University This quarrel about the innate nature of man began outside the gates of Eden, was continued by Darwin and Wallace and now looms menacingly across the threshold of the United Nations. Mr Ardrey has peered into our inner human darkness with wisdom gained from discoveries of natural history. Loren Eiseley, Benjamin Franklin Professor of Anthropology and History of Science, University of Pennsylvania Although his yeoman father is said to have burnt his books to discourage excessive studiousness, Thomas Wright (1711-86) nevertheless acquired considerable knowledge in the fields of mathematics, navigation and astronomy. Later benefitting from the patronage of wealthy families, he also surveyed estates, designed gardens, and tutored aristocrats. He is best known, however, for his contribution to astronomy: this illustrated work of 1750 was his most famous publication. Written in the form of nine letters, the book quotes both poets and scientists in the opening discussion as Wright sets out to fuse, rather than separate, science and religion. Combining his observations of the Milky Way with his theological belief in a universe of perfect order, he notes, among other things, that our galaxy appears to be disc-shaped. While largely ignored by contemporary astronomers, Wright\'s ideas can be seen as a forerunner to more sophisticated conceptions of our galaxy\'s configuration. RMPS. for your . Nat 5 . and . Higher.
