DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. RICHARD DAWKINS explică felul în care natura și oamenii au învăţat să învingă forţa gravitaţiei și să se înalţe în zbor: de la legendarul Icar la splendida specie Argentavis magnificens, din păcate dispărută, de la fraţii Wright și Boeing 747 la libelula Tinkerbella nana și șoimul-călător. Dar cartea e în același timp despre avântul minţii, despre evadarea din banal, prin știinţă și imaginaţie. Cu ilustraţiile ei superbe și fascinante, reprezintă o colaborare unică între unul dintre cei mai mari oameni de știinţă și o artistă talentată. DESPRE AUTOR.

Brought to you by Penguin. Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? These are just some of the questions considered in the internationally acclaimed masterpiece by the world renowned physicist - generally considered to have...

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott. As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students. (...

Drawing intriguing parallels between the present era of quantum physics and past episodes of scientific confusion, Beyond the Quantum tells the story of how pilot-wave theory was discovered and abandoned, revived and reconstructed, and how today it can pave the way to a new and radical physics beyond the quantum.

A few million years ago, our ancestors came down from the trees and began to stand upright, freeing our hands to create tools and our minds to grapple with the world around us. Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a passionate and inspiring tour through the exciting history of human progress and the...

A cocktail party? A terrorist cell? Ancient bacteria? An international conglomerate? All are networks, and all are a part of a surprising scientific revolution. Albert-László Barabási, the nation’s foremost expert in the new science of networks and author of Bursts, takes us on an...

Walter Russell's A New Concept of the Universe offers a revolutionary perspective on the nature of reality, blending science, philosophy, and metaphysics to present a unified model of the cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, Russell challenges conventional scientific theories about atomic structure, energy, and matter, proposing instead a dynamic, rhythmic universe governed by principles of balance and unity. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, where opposites such as light and darkness, motion and stillness, continually interplay to sustain the cosmic order.

Behind the familiar surfaces of the telephone, radio, and television lies a sophisticated and intriguing body of knowledge known as information theory. This is the theory that has permitted the rapid development of all sorts of communication, from color television to the clear transmission of photographs from the vicinity of Jupiter. Even more revolutionary progress is expected in the future.  

In one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of The Theory of Relativity in recent years, Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein's most famous equation, exploring the principles of physics through everyday life.

When Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, the Earth held its breath. That one small step forever changed our view of what was possible, sparking a dramatic expansion of humankind's cosmic awareness. When we gain a new perspective, a transformation begins, profoundly altering the understanding of the world our human experience had previously granted us.

En collaboration avec deux scientifiques de pointe, Deepak Chopra vous propose d'explorer le monde innovant de la science quantique dont les secrets peuvent révolutionner notre mode de vie, ainsi que notre santé physique et mentale. La clé est le corps quantique. Contrairement à notre corps physique, sujet à la maladie et au vieillissement, le corps quantique existe au niveau subatomique et constitue la source invisible et infinie de la réalité quotidienne qui influence nos pensées, nos émotions, nos sensations et nos réactions biologiques.

'Exceptionally interesting' Alain de Botton 'A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour' Thomas Erikson 'Insightful and entertaining' Cal Newport 'Fascinating ... You'll never again view your own world in quite the same way' Ian Stewart Can physics change your life? It already...

Our scientists might be armed with giant telescopes and powerful particle accelerators, yet their goal is the same one that has impelled the human imagination since ancient times: to show us our place in the universe. The result of their collective efforts is a complex story. At times it stretches the imagination just as much as the old creation myths. But its building blocks give us the power to work marvels our predecessors could scarcely comprehend. In Genesis, Guido Tonelli sets out 'to do justice to the great origin story that modern science gives us'.

Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al-Khalili invites us all to understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself. Al-Khalili begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of space, time, energy, and matter, and then describes the three pillars of modern physics - quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics - showing how all three must come together if we are ever to have a full understanding of reality.

James Gleick's groundbreaking bestseller introduces to a whole new audience the story of one of the most significant waves of scientific knowledge in our time. By focusing on the key figures whose genius converged to chart an innovative direction for science, Gleick makes the story of chaos...

Host Lenny Vaughn uncovers the hidden physics behind audio interference—ground loops, electromagnetic battles, and atmospheric chaos.

This Very Short Introduction presents the field of fluid mechanics by focusing on the underlying physical ideas and using everyday phenomena to demonstrate them, from dripping taps to swimming ducks. Eric Lauga shows how this set of fundamental physical concepts can be applied to a wide range of flow behaviors and highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial worlds. This book also considers future applications of fluid mechanics in science.

Have you ever wondered why onions make us cry? Do you believe bananas contain more calories as they ripen and get sweeter? This sequel to the best-selling What Einstein Told His Cook continues Robert L. Wolke's investigations into the science behind our foods.

للحقيقـــــة، كل القوانين والأفكار الفيزيائية بدأت بلحظة من التّطرف الفكري الغريب وغير المعقول. أينشتاين من العدم تخيل أن الزمن يؤثر على الكتلة والمسافة، وأن السرعة تؤثر على الزمن وبالتالي على الكتلة والمسافة. تخيل مدى التطرف الفكري الذي بدأ به العلماء حتى توصلوا إلى نظرية الأبعاد المتوازية، وأن الأحداث المختلفة جميعها تحدث في آن واحد، لكن بأبعاد مكانية مختلفة.
