The Origin of the Universe

We've all heard of the Big Bang, and yet few of us truly know what it is.

Renowned for making difficult ideas much less difficult than they might first appear, Simon Singh is our perfect guide to explaining why cosmologists believe that the Big Bang is an accurate description of the origin and evolution of the universe.

This highly readable and entertaining book tells the story of the many brilliant, often eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eternal and unchanging cosmos. From such early Greek cosmologists as Anaximander to recent satellite measurements taken deep in space, Big Bang is a narrative full of anecdotes and personal histories. With characteristic clarity, Simon Singh tells the centuries-long story of mankind's attempt to understand how the universe came to be, a story which itself begins some 14 billion years ago (give or take a billion years). Simon Singh shows us that it is within the capability of all of us -- in his expert hands -- to understand the Big Bang: the fundamental theory in all of science, and a high point -- perhaps the high point -- of human achievement.

{J3} **Summary - Dr. Emil Ganz, a world-renowned astrophysicist, seems to have vanished into thin air. For ten years, no one knew of his whereabouts until he suddenly reappeared as "Father Jupiter, " the founder of a pseudoscientific cult -- the Order of the Rings of God. Now, suddenly, Ganz is found dead. LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker and his team of homicide detectives pose official questions. Is Ganz's death an accident, a suicide, or even a homicide? Suspicions abound...  #fiction #suspensethrillers #suspense #thriller #hardcover #astronomy #archeology #mystery

23 Stories of First Flights, Scientific Missions, and Gravity-Breaking Adventures

When Valentina Tereshkova blasted off aboard Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963, she became the first woman to rocket into space. It would be nineteen years before another woman got a chance--cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya in 1982--followed by American astronaut Sally Ride a year later. By breaking the stratospheric ceiling, these women forged a path for many female astronauts, cosmonauts, and mission specialists to follow. Women in Space profiles twenty-three pioneers from around the world, including Eileen Collins, the first woman to command the space shuttle; Peggy Whitson, who orbited aboard the International Space Station for more than a year; and Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space. Their story, and the stories of the pilots, physicists, and doctors who followed them, demonstrate the vital role women have played in the quest for scientific understanding.

Our Solar System was born almost 5 billion years ago at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. In over fifty dramatic, full-color photographs and an easy-to-read text, award-winning author Seymour Simon takes you on a fascinating tour of the nine planets, dozens of moons, and thousands of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets that travel around our sun.

First, Simon explores the star at the center of our Solar System -- from the constant nuclear explosions at its core to the giant storms on its surface as geysers of flaming gas over a hundred thousand miles long rise and fall in just a few hours.

You will also learn about the four rocky inner planets, from airless Mercury to fiery Venus, her sister planet, Earth, and mysterious Mars. Then join the thrilling Voyager missions to explore the four gaseous outer planets: gigantic Jupiter, ringed Saturn, tilted Uranus -- the planet "lying on its side" -- and windy Neptune. You will finish your journey at distant Pluto, then visit the asteroid belt and examine comets, the "dirty snowballs" in space.

A companion volume to Simon's landmark series of individual books about each of the planets, the sun, stars, and other space sights, Our Solar System will introduce you to some of the most amazing mysteries in the universe.

Grandes ideas, explicaciones sencillas

Con un lenguaje claro, El libro de la astronomía proporciona breves y sencillas explicaciones que aclaran la jerga científica, esquemas que desbrozan complejas teorías, ilustraciones que juegan con nuestro conocimiento de los astros e ingeniosas citas que condensan los descubrimientos astronómicos.


¿Cómo medimos el universo? ¿Dónde se halla el horizonte de sucesos? ¿Qué es la materia oscura? Desde los albores de la humanidad, la gente ha alzado la vista al cielo con el afán de entenderlo. Así, a lo largo de los siglos, la ciencia astronómica ha ensanchado las fronteras del conocimiento humano en el intento de comprender el universo y nuestro lugar en él.

La astronomía más cerca que nunca

Este magnífico libro de astronomía ilustrado con imágenes digitales increíbles relata de una forma didáctica la historia de la evolución de los conocimientos investigados por el hombre a lo largo de miles de años sobre el Universo.

Es una obra ideal para sentar las bases de los orígenes de la astronomía, conocer cómo influyen los astros sobre el tiempo y la marea, desvelar curiosidades sobre la astronomía solar, las estrellas, el cosmos, el sistema solar, los átomos y las galaxias, introducirse en la astrofísica y actualizarse en cuanto al impacto que la tecnología está teniendo sobre el desarrollo y el conocimiento de esta ciencia. El libro de la astronomía nos muestra una bella mirada al pasado y esboza los hallazgos venideros que posiblemente establecerán nuevos y emocionantes paradigmas.

Este maravilloso libro de astronomía clasifica la enseñanza sobre los astros y el cosmos en los siguientes capítulos:

   * Del mito a la ciencia. 600 A.C.-1550 D.C.
   * La revolución del telescopio. 1550-1750
