Solar and Stellar Dynamos: Saas-Fee Advanced Course 39 Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy

Springer, 2012

Astrophysical dynamos are at the heart of cosmic magnetic fields of a wide range of scales, from planets and stars to entire galaxies. This book presents a thorough, step-by-step introduction to solar and stellar dynamos. Looking first at the ultimate origin of cosmic seed magnetic fields, the antagonists of field amplification are next...

Analytic Hyperbolic Geometry And Albert Einstein's Special Theory Of Relativity

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This book presents a powerful way to study Einstein's special theory of relativity and its underlying hyperbolic geometry in which analogies with classical results form the right tool. It introduces the notion of vectors into analytic hyperbolic geometry, where they are called gyrovectors.

Newtonian velocity addition is the common vector...

Acoustic And Radio Eev Neurtrino Detection Activities

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

The ARENA Workshop in Zeuthen was the first to combine extensively the fields of acoustic and radio detection techniques for high-energetic particle cascades from cosmic neutrino interactions. The articles in this volume comprise the latest research work which was presented by over 50 speakers from 10 countries. The wide coverage includes:...

Phenomenology of Life - From the Animal Soul to the Human Mind: Book II. The Human Soul in the Creative Transformation of the Mind

Springer, 2007

The human condition comes into its own only, as we have pointed out before,1 when Imaginatio Creatrix emerges and progressively reaches the realization of its full potential, bringing in the freedom to interrogate and the powers of creative invention.

When we come to stand back and ponder it, we are amazed at how the ontopoietic...

Everything Forever: Learning To See Timelessness

Enchanted Puzzle, 2006

Everything Forever is a highly original book about time, about the future, about the evolution of order and complexity presently taking place in the universe. In a deeply insightful poetic style Giorbran lays out the foundation of the timeless realm, extending the ideas of both David Bohm and Stephen Hawking by literally creating a visual...

The Harvest of a Century: Discoveries in Modern Physics in 100 Episodes

Oxford University Press, 2009

Physics was the leading science of the twentieth century and the book retraces important discoveries, made between 1895 and 2001, in 100 self-contained Episodes. Each is a short story of the scientists involved, their time and their work. Together, they formed a mosaic of modern physics: formulating relativity and quantum mechanics, finding the...

Tools of Radio Astronomy (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)

Springer, 2013

This 6th edition of “Tools of Radio Astronomy”, the most used introductory text in radio astronomy, has been revised to reflect the current state of this important branch of astronomy. This includes the use of satellites, low radio frequencies, the millimeter/sub-mm universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background and the increased...

Four Short Courses on Harmonic Analysis: Wavelets, Frames, Time-Frequency Methods, and Applications to Signal and Image Analysis

Birkhauser, 2009

This state-of-the-art textbook examines four research directions in harmonic analysis and features some of the latest applications in the field, including cosmic microwave background analysis, human cortex image denoising, and wireless communication. The work is the first one that combines spline theory (from a numerical or...

Fantasies of Time and Death: Dunsany, Eddison, Tolkien

Palgrave Macmillan, 2020

This book reveals the unique contribution made by the three founding fathers of British fantasy?Lord Dunsany, E. R. Eddison and J. R. R. Tolkien?to our culture’s perennial reassessment of the meanings of time, death and eternity. It traces the poetic, philosophical and theological roots of the striking preoccupation with mortality and...

Yet Another Introduction to Dark Matter: The Particle Physics Approach (Lecture Notes in Physics)

Springer, 2019

Dark matter is a frequently discussed topic in contemporary particle physics. Written strictly in the language of particle physics and quantum field theory, these course-based lecture notes focus on a set of standard calculations that students need in order to understand weakly interacting dark matter candidates.

After...

Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure

Cambridge University Press, 2000

Enormous progress has been made in inflationary cosmology in the past few years and this book is the first to provide a modern and unified overview of the subject. Coverage examines every aspect of inflationary cosmology and carefully compares predictions with the latest observations, including those of the cosmic microwave background, the...
