 |  |  Magic Universe: A Grand Tour of Modern Science
As a prolific author, BBC commentator, and magazine editor, Nigel Calder has spent a lifetime spotting and explaining the big discoveries in all branches of science. In Magic Universe, he draws on his vast experience to offer readers a lively, far-reaching look at modern science in all its glory, shedding light on the latest ideas in... |  |  Stellar Polarimetry
To many astrophysicists, Stellar P larimetry is a Cinderella subject considered as being so insignificant and, at the same time, being so esoteric as to be ignored and left alone. Others have followed and developed the theme with an enthusiastic passion. There can be no doubt, however, that the study of polarization within Astronomy has a... |

 Computational Fluid Mechanics
This volume presents recent advances in computational fluid dynamics. The topics range from fundamentals and computational techniques to a wide variety of applications in astronomy, applied mathematics and meteorology. They describe recent calculations in direct numerical simulation of turbulence, applications of turbulence modelling of... |  |  Starfinder
Combining a concise practical guide to astronomy with card decks, sky maps, and a flashlight, Starfinder explains how to navigate around the night sky, shows you what you can expect to see, and provides all the tools you need to see the constellations for yourself. It also includes a section on observing the Moon, planets, and other... |  |  Astrophysics: A New Approach (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)
For a quantitative understanding of the physics of the universe - from the solar system through the milky way to clusters of galaxies all the way to cosmology - these edited lecture notes are perhaps among the most concise and also among the most critical ones: Astrophysics has not yet stood the redundancy test of laboratory physics, hence... |

 Information Sharing on the Semantic Web
The rapid progress of the “information society” in the past decade has been made possible by the removal of many technical barriers. Producing, storing, and transporting information in large quantities are no longer significant problems.
Producing on-line, digitized information is no longer a problem. Ever more of our... |  |  Scientific Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery: Principles and Foundations
This book suits both graduate students and researchers with a focus on discovering
knowledge from scientific data. The use of computational power for data analysis
and knowledge discovery in scientific disciplines has found its roots with the revolution
of high-performance computing systems. Computational science in physics,... |  |  Testing IT: An Off-the-Shelf Software Testing Process
Why is astronomy considered a science while astrology is considered only a pseudoscience?
In other words, how can we prove that a theory faithfully describes reality,
and that this theory can then be used to predict unknown facts? Karl Popper, the
well-known philosopher, studied these problems and summarized his conclusions in
one... |
