Hicks K: Nature's Balancing Act

Nature's Balancing Act

How Small Quirks of Physics Makes Life Possible

<ul><li>Preface</li> <li>1: Explosive Ideas</li> <li>2: Why Matter Doesn't Collapse</li> <li>3: Mirror, Mirror in the Sky</li> <li>4: Neutrons Matter</li> <li>5: So Much Carbon</li> <li>6: The Left Hand of Life</li> <li>7: It Came from Outer Space</li> <li>8: Life in the Balance</li> <li>Epilogue</li> <li>Index</li> </ul>

Dieses Buch bildet den 2. Band einer Trilogie zur Geschichte der Raumfahrt. Er befasst sich mit den bemannten Raumfahrtprogrammen der USA und der Sowjetunion (bis 1991) bzw. Russlands (ab 1992), wobei in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren noch der Ost-West-Konflikt dominierte, während man in den 1990er Jahren zu einer Ost-West-Kooperation überging. Die beiden Schwerpunkte der Darstellung sind einerseits die Raumstationen, d. h. die sowjetisch-russischen Saljut und Mir sowie das amerikanische Konkurrenzprojekt Freedom. Den zweiten Schwerpunkt bilden die Raumfähren, d. h. das amerikanische Space-Shuttle und der sowjetische Buran. Den Höhepunkt der internationalen Zusammenarbeit bildete das gemeinsame Programm Shuttle-Mir. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch die westeuropäischen Beiträge Spacelab und Euromir ausführlich behandelt.&nbsp; Der 1. Band befasst sich mit der Pionierzeit der Raumfahrt bis 1975 von den Anfängen bis zum Wettlauf ins All mit der Mondlandung als Höhepunkt. Der 3. Band wird sich mit der Raumfahrt im 21. Jahrhundert befassen, von der Internationalen Raumstation ISS über das europäische Ariane-Programm und den asiatischen Wettlauf ins All bis hin zur privat-kommerziellen Raumfahrt (New Space) und der Rückkehr zum Mond. Damit entwickelt sich die Trilogie zu einem neuen Standardwerk, welches sich sowohl an Fachleute, als auch an interessierte Laien richtet, die einen aufschlussreichen, detaillierten, tiefgründigen und spannenden Einblick in die Geschichte der Raumfahrt erhalten wollen. „Dieses Werk gibt einen exzellenten Überblick der noch jungen Geschichte der Raumfahrt und all ihrer technischen, wissenschaftlichen, ökonomischen und politischen Aspekte.“Thomas Reiter, ehemaliger Astronaut&nbsp; Der AutorAndré T. Hensel (*1968) studierte Geschichte und Germanistik an der Universität Klagenfurt sowie Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaften an der Universität Graz. Seit 2002 leitet er die FH-Bibliothek Kärnten. Er beschäftigt sich bereits in 3. Generation mit dem Thema Raumfahrt, welches ihn seit seiner Kindheit bis zu seiner Diplomarbeit über den Wettlauf der Supermächte ins All vor dem Hintergrund des Kalten Krieges begleitet hat.

Discovering Physics

For this second edition, the complete text has been thoroughly revised. A description of plans for new accelerator facilities has been added, as well as new results on cosmic ray physics, dark matter and dark energy. The usage of natural units has been abandoned in favour of SI units throughout the text.

Handbook of Radiation Belts: Physics Throughout the Solar System provides a comprehensive overview of radiation belt processes throughout the solar system in a single book, compiling all information relevant to radiation belts in one place. It features an overview of radiation belts of each applicable planet in the Solar System to assist researchers working on individual radiation belt physics, particularly of comparative or multiplanetary scope. The handbook goes on to offer a detailed guide to basics such as measurement and particle motion to more advanced topics such as radial transport and associated acceleration. It provides the respective theory behind the physics as well as detailed derivations, with worked examples and case studies, allowing readers to follow the implementation of the theory behind the science to apply in their research. The Handbook of Radiation Belts covers all relevant topics to radiation belts in our Solar System in one complete source, offering researchers, academics and students in space physics a complete guide to the topic for those performing fundamental research and teaching, as well as professionals planning and operating space missions or assets.

Exoplanet Detection Methods

The speed of the expansion of the universe is governed by the Hubble constant. Discordance tells of its troubled 100-year history, from tentative steps to measure the distances of nearby stars to orbiting telescopes peering into the far reaches of space. But recent results hint at more trouble ahead: the 'Hubble tension'. The story is not over yet.

The Troubled History of the Hubble Constant

Discordance

An exciting new title in the vein of Hidden Figures, which tells the inspiring stories of long-overlooked women physicists and astronomers who discovered the fundamental rules of the universe and reshaped the rules of society. Women physicists and astronomers from around the world have transformed science and society, but the critical roles they played in their fields are not always well-sung. Her Space, Her Time, authored by award-winning quantum physicist Shohini Ghose, brings together the stories of these remarkable women to celebrate their indelible scientific contributions. In each chapter of the book, Ghose explores a scientific topic and explains how the women featured in that chapter revolutionized that area of physics and astronomy. In doing so, she also addresses particular aspects of women’s experiences in physics and astronomy: in the chapter on time, for instance, we learn of Henrietta Leavitt and Margaret Burbidge, who helped discover the big bang and the cosmic calendar; in the chapter on space exploration, we learn of Anigaduwagi (Cherokee) aerospace scientist Mary Golda Ross, who helped make the Moon landings possible; and in the chapter on subatomic particles, we learn of Marietta Blau, Hertha Wambacher, and Bibha Chowdhuri, who contributed to the discovery of the building blocks of the universe, and, in doing so, played a crucial role in determining who gets to do physics today. Engaging, accessible, and timely, Her Space, Her Time is a collective story of scientific innovation, inspirational leadership, and overcoming invisibility that will leave a lasting impression on any reader curious about the rule-breakers and trendsetters who illuminated our understanding of the universe. Some of the featured women scientists in the book •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Williamina Fleming •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Annie Jump Cannon •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Antonia Maury •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Henrietta Leavitt •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Margaret Burbidge •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mary Golda Ross •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dilhan Eryurt •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Claudia Alexander •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Joyce Neighbors •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Navajo women of Shiprock •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Harriet Brooks •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marie Curie •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lise Meitner •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Marietta Blau •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hertha Wambacher •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bibha Chowdhuri •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wu Chien-Shiung •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Women of the Manhattan Project •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vera Rubin

Begin to understand the cosmos with this easy-to-use introduction Astrophysics is the application of physics to astronomical studies, dedicated to understanding the properties of celestial objects even from an immeasurable distance. Cosmology is the study of the Universe itself: its properties, its origins, its ongoing evolution. Together, these two are among the foundational subfields of astronomy, producing extraordinary insights into the broader cosmos we inhabit. Introduction to Astrophysics &amp; Cosmology provides a foundational introduction to these two subjects, intended for interested students with little to no prior knowledge of astronomy. Emphasizing basic physical principles throughout, it covers astronomical bodies and spaces at all scales, from the whole cosmos to our own solar system. The result is an indispensable guide for students wishing to familiarize themselves with the study of our Universe. Introduction to Astrophysics &amp; Cosmology readers will also find: Discussion of astronomical tools such as telescopes and moreProblems and self-assessment questions, with solutions, at the conclusion of each chapterLinks to other valuable online resourcesIntroduction to Astrophysics &amp; Cosmology is ideal for undergraduate physics or astronomy students, as well as general readers with some physical knowledge desiring an introductory astronomy text.
