Spektakulär farbenfrohe Illustrationen und spannende Kurztexte vermitteln hochaktuelle Forschungsergebnisse. Mit Steckbriefen, die einen Überblick über die berühmtesten Exoplaneten und ihre Eigenschaften geben.

- mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit voraus: eine Expedition zu weit entfernten Planeten

- das erste Kindersachbuch über Exoplaneten

- von Gasriesen, Wasserwelten, Diamantkrusten und Supererden

- mit Planetensteckbriefen und den modernsten Entdeckungsmethoden

- für Weltraumentdecker und Entdeckerinnen ab 10 Jahren 

 


ÜBER DIE VIELFALT DER EXOPLANETEN

Dieses Buch führt uns tiefer in die unendlichen Weiten des Weltalls als je zuvor. Dorthin, wo es Planeten aus purem Diamant gibt, Planeten mit vier verschiedenen Sonnen und pinken Sonnenuntergängen, und Himmelskörper, die so heiß sind, dass sie buchstäblich verdampfen. Wir entdecken Supererden, Lava-Planeten und Welten mit Temperaturen von bis zu minus 230 Grad Celsius. Selten hat sich ein Forschungsgebiet so rasant entwickelt wie das der extrasolaren Planeten. Noch vor etwa drei Jahrzehnten war man nicht einmal sicher, ob es außerhalb unseres Sonnensystems überhaupt Planeten gibt – denn Exoplaneten lassen sich nur selten direkt beobachten. Hier erfahren wir mehr über die Methoden, die es uns möglich machen, ihre Existenz zu beweisen und mehr über sie zu erfahren. Und wir gehen der Frage nach, ob es auf einem von ihnen Leben geben könnte. Zusätzlich werden zahlreiche der berühmtesten Exoplaneten in kurzen Steckbriefen vorgestellt: von den heißesten bis zu den sonderbarsten Welten des Universums.

 

WUNDERSCHÖN ILLUSTRIERTES WISSEN

****This paperback edition includes an exclusive letter from Annie and two bonus chapters****“A beautifully written story of the sweetness of staying put, Jones’s book will add depth to any memoir collection.”—Library JournalCan life be an adventure, even when it’s just . . . ordinary?From the Front Porch podcast host and independent bookstore owner challenges the idea that loud lives are the ones that matter most, reminding us that we don't have to leave the lives we have in order to have the lives of which we've always dreamed.Annie B. Jones always assumed adulthood would mean adventure: a high-powered career; life in a big, bustling city; and travels to far-flung places she’d longed to see. But her reality turned out differently. As the years passed, Annie was still in the same small town running an independent bookstore —the kind of life Nora Ephron dreamed.During that time, she hosted friends’ goodbye parties and mailed parting gifts; wrote recommendation letters and wished former shop staffers well. She stayed in her small town, despite her love of big cities; stayed in her marriage to the guy she met when she was eighteen; and she stayed at her bookstore while the world outside shifted steadily toward digital retailers. And she stayed loyal to a faith she sometimes didn’t recognize.After ten years, Annie realized she might never leave. But instead of regret, she had an epiphany. She awakened to the gifts of a quiet life spent staying put.In Ordinary Time, Annie: <ul><li>Challenges the idea that loud lives matter most.</li><li>Finds hidden gifts of humor and hope from a life lived quietly as she rummages through her small-town existence. S</li><li>Discovers staying, can itself be a radical act.</li><li>Realizes that it takes courage to stay in the places we’ve always called home.</li></ul> We’ve long been encouraged to follow our dreams, to pack up and move to new places and leave old lives—and past selves—behind. While there is beauty in these kinds of adventures, Ordinary Time helps us see ourselves right where we are: in the middle of messy, mundane lives, maybe not too far from where we grew up.We don’t have to leave to find what we yearn—we can choose to stay, celebrating and honoring our ordinary lives, which might turn out to be bigger and better than we ever imagined.

Lessons Learned While Staying Put

Ordinary Time

A world-renowned physicist seeks gravity’s true nature and finds wisdom in embracing its force in her life Claudia de Rham has been playing with gravity her entire life. As a diver, experimenting with her body’s buoyancy in the Indian Ocean. As a pilot, soaring over Canadian waterfalls on dark mornings before beginning her daily scientific research. As an astronaut candidate, dreaming of the experience of flying free from Earth’s pull. And as a physicist, discovering new sides to gravity’s irresistible personality by exploring the limits of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. In The Beauty of Falling, de Rham shares captivating stories about her quest to gain intimacy with gravity, to understand both its feeling and fundamental nature. Her life’s pursuit led her from a twist of fate that snatched away her dream of becoming an astronaut to an exhilarating breakthrough at the very frontiers of gravitational physics. While many of us presume to know gravity quite well, the brightest scientists in history have yet to fully answer the simple question: what exactly is gravity? De Rham reveals how great minds—from Newton and Einstein to Stephen Hawking, Andrea Ghez, and Roger Penrose—led her to the edge of knowledge about this fundamental force. She found hints of a hidden side to gravity at the particle level where Einstein’s theory breaks down, leading her to develop a new theory of “massive gravity.” De Rham shares how her life’s path turned from a precipitous fall to an exquisite flight toward the discovery of something entirely new about our surprising, gravity-driven universe.

Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man Jason's never met smiles down at him and says, "Welcome back, my friend." In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible. Is it this world or the other that's the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could've imagined—one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe. Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human—a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of.

A Novel

Dark Matter (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

'One of the most accomplished and important science writers of our time' ED YONG 'Chanda Prescod-Weinstein brings light to our universe' ROBIN INCE In The Edge of Space-Time, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein takes readers to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time - and about ourselves. Guided by her conviction that science is for everybody, Prescod-Weinstein renders accessible some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics and draws on poetry and popular culture - from Queen Latifah to Lewis Carroll to Big K.R.I.T. to Sun Ra and Star Trek - to tell fascinating stories about the fundamental quantum nature of space-time and everything inside of it. Here we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy, explore the inner workings of black holes and investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity.Through Prescod-Weinstein's clear-eyed and unique perspective, and informed by her deep knowledge of post-colonial history and Black feminist thought, The Edge of Space-Time argues that physics is an essential way for everyone to look at the universe and presents a compelling case that 'the edge' is a powerful vantage point from which to see the big picture. Prescod-Weinstein also shows us how spending time with the cosmos is a vital human activity that enriches all our lives.

Come Together

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

Part speculative adventure, part suburban mystery, totally hilarious and delightful. Rappers, dogs, detectives, children’s shows—and second chances to embrace your true self. Enter the Branches multiverse of Emily Jane, the Queen of Quirk and USA Today bestselling author of On Earth as It Is on Television. "Whimsical and completely chaotic. This book is for those who loved Everyone, Everywhere, All At Once" —Flair Magazine Budding musician Fatty Bratty wakes up in his terrible Ohio apartment to a random dog. A dog that acts like he belongs there. Except Bratty doesn’t own a dog. He always wanted to but never did. So maybe this random dog is a sign: screw his parents’ expectations. Forget business school. Goodbye, Midwest. Hello Los Angeles. Over a manic week, Bratty and his best friend write and record their first rap album. They call themselves Mr. Yay. Bratty’s therapist, Miriam, remembers a different Mr. Yay, the one from the old children’s TV show, the washed-up actor turned first mate who sailed a boat captained by a dog and taught people to be themselves. To just be. But strangely, her husband, Jack, has no memory of the old show at all. As Mr. Yay headlines Vegas shows and climbs the charts with his rap songs, Miriam watches her life unravel. Jack is increasingly absent, more secretive, reckless—he hardly resembles the man she married. Their friends start acting weird, too: drinking excessively, splurging on motorcycles, quitting their jobs, not washing their hair, harboring raccoons. Jack also doesn’t remember things he should about his relationship with Miriam. But he suspects his memory hole is more than it seems. It’s not just that he’s forgotten the Mr. Yay show—it’s that, on the internet, and according to the studio and half the population, there is no Mr. Yay. There never was. Witty, heartfelt, deeply weird, and utterly original, Mr. Yay explores how we grapple with inexplicable sudden shifts in the world around us and how to live when the past is different than what you remember. (And don’t forget to check out the other books in the Branches multiverse, including Here Beside the Rising Tide, American Werewolves, and Give the People What They Want; or, How Our Dad Caused the Funpocalypse.)

International Aristotle Studies

Aristoteles ist bekannt für seine kontroversen Aussagen über Frauen in der "Politik", doch ist dies der einzige Weg, seine Vorstellungen über sie zu verstehen? Dieses Buch bietet einen neuen Blick auf Aristoteles' Haltung gegenüber Frauen, indem es die Bedeutung der Fortpflanzung in seiner Philosophie, im "Biologischen Korpus" und insbesondere in der "Entstehung der Tiere" neu bewertet. Die Studie untersucht die physiologischen und metaphysischen Beiträge jedes Geschlechts zum Nachwuchs und hebt die traditionell übersehene weibliche Spezifität hervor. Sie zeigt, dass ein korrektes Verständnis dieser physiologischen Funktion den Weg ebnet, um die weibliche Natur in den Bereichen Kosmologie, Metaphysik und Psychologie zu erfassen.
