An adventure into the heart of Nothing by bestselling authorK. C. Cole. Once again, acclaimed science writer K. C. Cole bringsthe arcane and acad-emic down to the level of armchair scientistsin The Hole in the Universe, an entertaining and edifying searchfor nothing at all. Open the newspaper on any given day and youwill read of a newly discovered planet, star, and so on. Yetscientists and mathematicians have spent generations searching thefar reaches of the universe for that one elusive state-nothingness.Although this may sound like a simple task, every time the absolutevoid appears within reach, something new is discovered in itsplace: a black hole, an undulating string, an additional dimensionof space or time-even another universe. A fascinating and literarytour de force, The Hole in the Universe is a virtual romp into theunknown that you never knew wasn't there.
It's hard to talk about The Origin of Species without making statements that seem overwrought and fulsome. But it's true: this is indeed one of the most important and influential books ever written, and it is one of the very few groundbreaking works of science that is truly readable. To a certain extent it suffers from the Hamlet problem--it's full of clichés! Or what are now clichés, but which Darwin was the first to pen. Natural selection, variation, the struggle for existence, survival of the fittest: it's all in here. Darwin's friend and "bulldog" T.H. Huxley said upon reading the Origin, "How extremely stupid of me not to have thought of that." Alfred Russel Wallace had thought of the same theory of evolution Darwin did, but it was Darwin who gathered the mass of supporting evidence--on domestic animals and plants, on variability, on sexual selection, on dispersal--that swept most scientists before it. It's hardly necessary to mention that the book is still controversial: Darwin's remark in
Timeless andcollectible, The Feynman Lectures on Physics are essential reading,not just for students of physics, but for anyone seeking aninsightful introduction to the field from the inimitable Richard P.Feynman. “When I look atThe Feynman Lectures on Physics, I feel a very personal sense ofcloseness to them,” said Feynman, looking back on the origins ofthese books. Ranging from basic Newtonian dynamics through suchformidable theories as Einstein’s relativity, Maxwell’selectrodynamics, and Dirac’s forumulation of quantum mechanics,these collected lectures stand as a monument to clear expositionand deep insight—and to Feynman’s deep connection with thefield. Originally deliveredto students at Caltech and later fashioned by co-authors Robert B.Leighton and Matthew Sands into a unique te xtbook, thecelebrated Feynman Lectures on Physics allows us to experience oneof the twentieth century’s greatest minds. This new editionfeatures improved typography, figures, and inde
The publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species in 1859marked a dramatic turning point in scientific thought. The volumehad taken Darwin more than twenty years to publish, in part becausehe envisioned the storm of controversy it was certain to unleash.Indeed, selling out its first edition on its first day, The Originof Species revolutionized science, philosophy, and theology. Darwin’s reasoned, documented arguments carefully advance histheory of natural selection and his assertion that species were notcreated all at once by a divine hand but started with a few simpleforms that mutated and adapted over time. Whether commenting on hisown poor health, discussing his experiments to test instinct inbees, or relating a conversation about a South American burrowingrodent, Darwin’s monumental achievement is surprisingly personaland delightfully readable. Its profound ideas remain controversialeven today, making it the most influential book in the naturalsciences ever written—an important work n
This classic of contemporary science writing by a NobelPrize-winning physicist explains to general readers what happenedwhen the universe began, and how we know..
'Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics insideout by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics' history:something that actually occurred. MAUS is terrifying not for itsbrutality, but for its tenderness and guilt' New Yorker MAUS iswidely renowned as one of the greatest pieces of art and literatureever written about the Holocaust. It is adored by readers andstudied in colleges and universities all over the world. But whatled Art Spiegelman to tell his father's story in the first place?Why did he choose to depict the Jews as mice? How could a comicbook confront the terror and brutality of the worst atrocity of thetwentieth century? To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the book'sfirst publication, MetaMAUS, prepared by the author, is a vitalcompanion to the classic text and includes never-before-seensketches, rough and alternate drafts, family and reference photos,notebook and diary entries and the tran* of his interviewswith his father Vladek as well as a long interview with Art, inw
