Galaktická transformace 2012
21. prosinec 2012 je koncovým datem velmi přesného dlouhodobého mayského kalendáře, orientovaného na astronomické děje v galaktických souvislostech. Jenkins ukazuje, že koncové datum neznamená konec času nebo světa. Je spíše přesvědčen, že jde o počátek vzestupné fáze rozvoje lidského vědomi, konec temného věku. ..kalijugy` a počátek nového a duchovnějšího „zlatého věku`. Autor se zabývá starobylým kosmologickým učením Mayů, egyptským myšlením a védskou filosofií, a také různými metafyzickými tradicemi lidstva, od keltské či řecké posvátné topografie a evropské středověké alchymie po kabalu a arabskou astrologii. Všude tam, stejně jako v údajích současných astronomů, nachází přesvědčivé argumenty, že jsme na prahu významného transformačního kosmického milníku, předvídaného našimi předky.

Ale vše, co je v pořádku, se katastrofálně zvrtne, když amatérská astronomka objeví novou kometu. Tomiko, pojmenovaná po své objevitelce, je "blízkosluneční" těleso, mezihvězdný poutník, který má stonásobn

Pokud se vědci ve svých předpokladech nemýlí, Tomiko se za necelých pět dní srazí s Měsícem a roztříští jej na oblak přehřátého plynu, prachu a obrovských balvanů, jež
zasypou Zemi, kde vyvolají chaos, větrné smrště a pravděpodobně obrovské vlny, které zaplaví celá města... nebo se stane ještě něco horšího, apokalypsa, jež může přinést záhubu všemu živému na planetě.
Mezitím je třeba narychlo svolanou flotilou dopr

Hviezdy a planéty - Príroda v kocke
Keď zapadne Slnko a obloha stemnie, objavujú sa zázraky nočnej oblohy: planéty našej slnečnej sústavy, hviezdy, hviezdoskopy a hmloviny našej Galaxie a iné, nepredstaviteľne vzdialené galaxie. Niektoré z týchto objektov je možné pozorovať voľným okom, ale triéder alebo malý ďalekohľad z nich odhalia oveľa viac. Táto kniha vám ukáže, kde a ako jednotlivé objekty na oblohe nájsť. Je rozdelená na štyri časti: po úvodnom výklade základných astronomických pojmov nasleduje podrobný sprievodca slnečnou sústavou, po ňom v abecednom poradí súhvezdia a nakoniec kartografický sprievodca nočnou oblohou v jednotlivých mesiacoch roka.

Our Accidental Universe
Our view of the Universe is changing. The timeless heavens, turning ceaselessly above us, have been revealed to be dynamic and ever-changing, requiring a new kind of astronomy. On mountaintops and in deserts around the world, new telescopes are being built to show us this changing sky. But amongst all this technological development, the major astronomical events of the past century have largely come about by accident - found not by careful experiment but as surprises when we were looking for something else entirely.
- The most promising habitat for life beyond Earth turns out to be Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus, whose oceans were revealed as NASA's Cassini probe happened to swing by.
- Pulsars, the remnants of long-dead massive stars, were originally just 'scruff' in the data of radio astronomers looking at distant galaxies.
- Telescopes around the world sprung into action to follow the visit of our first, unexpected, interstellar visitor, an asteroid from another system.
- And we get the most from the Hubble Space Telescope by pointing it at nothing ...
Chris Lintott takes us on an astonishing tour of accidents and human error in pursuit of asteroids, pulsars, radio waves, new stars and alien life. On the threshold of opening a new window on the cosmos through new surveys and instruments, his book is an urgent argument for how keeping an open mind can benefit us all - whatever might still be out there for us to find.
In a Flight of Starlings
From the 2021 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, a remarkable journey into the practice of groundbreaking science
The world is shaped by complexity. In this enlightening book, Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi guides us through his unorthodox yet exhilarating work to show us how. It all starts with investigating the principles of physics by observing the sophisticated flight patterns of starlings. Studying the movements of these birds, he has realized, proves an illuminating way into understanding complex systems of all kinds - collections of everything from atoms to planets to other animals like ourselves.
Along the way, Parisi reflects on the lessons he's taken from a life in pursuit of scientific truth: the importance of serendipity to the discovery of new ideas, the surprising kinship between physics and other fields of study and the value of science to a thriving society. In so doing, he removes the practice of science from the confines of the laboratory and into the real world. Complexity is all around us - from climate to finance to biology, it offers a unique way of finding order in chaos.
Part elegant scientific treatise, part thrilling intellectual journey, In a Flight of Starlings is an invitation to find wonder in the world around us.
Extraterrestrial
Harvard's top astronomer takes us inside the mind-blowing story of the first interstellar visitor to our solar system
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.
In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars-and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.

The Magick of Matter
Imagine you had a crystal that lit upon your command: magic must be at work, and you must surely be a wizard. But what if you discovered that you routinely cast such spells? Are the spells no longer magic ... or are you a wizard?
The modern term for wizardry is condensed matter physics. It is the study of the world around us - the states of matter and how they emerge from the quantum realm. Thanks to its practical magic we can make lasers which cut through solid metal, trains which hover in mid-air, and crystals which light our homes. It is one of the best-kept secrets in science; a third of all physicists work on it, yet its story has never been told.
Join Felix Flicker as he introduces the magic of condensed matter physics. It will be a journey that reveals the subtle spells that conjure crystals from chaos and create new particles that have never before existed.
The Magick of Matter will revolutionise what you know about physics and reality; you'll never see the world in the same way again.

The Matter of Everything
How did a piece of gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms? What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays? How do we know all that we know about the world today?
It's not simply because we have the maths – it's because we have done the experiments.
Accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the creative and curious people who, through a combination of genius, tenacity and luck, staged the groundbreaking experiments of the twentieth century. From the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory, to the scientists trying to prove Einstein wrong (and inadvertently proving him right), The Matter of Everything takes us on a journey through the history of experiments that transformed our world.

Before the Big Bang
A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists
What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it.
Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family.
The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

The Universe in a Box
Illuminating, provocative and bold, The Universe in a Box is the story of the technologies that allow us to look up, to learn and to discover our place in the cosmos
How do scientists study the entire universe?
How can we make sense of its vast, intricate workings?
We are part of an incredible chain of events stretching 13.8 billion years into the past and even further into the future. But what does that future hold? And will we ever truly understand our cosmic home?
The Universe in a Box is Andrew Pontzen's tribute to simulations - the remarkable computer codes that, over the last century, have allowed us to understand the distant past and far future of the universe. It reframes what we think we know about galaxies, black holes and matter itself. And it reveals the stories of the pioneering scientists who unlocked the mysteries of space, from redshift to improbable dark materials that pass, ghostlike, through solid rock.
Illuminating, provocative and bold, this is the story of the technologies that allow us to look up, to learn and to discover our place in the cosmos.
