Our Universe
A world-renowned astrophysicist takes us through the huge, unfolding history of the universe
The night sky is an endless source of wonder and mystery. For thousands of years it has been at the heart of scientific and philosophical inquiry, from the first star catalogues etched into ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets to the metres-wide telescopes constructed in Chile's Atacama Desert today. On a clear night it is hard not to look up and pick out familiar constellations, and to think of the visionary minds who pioneered our understanding of what lies beyond.
In this thrilling new guide to our Universe and how it works, Professor of Astrophysics Jo Dunkley reveals how it only becomes more beautiful and exciting the more we discover about it. With warmth and clarity, Dunkley takes us from the very basics - why the Earth orbits the Sun, and how our Moon works - right up to massive, strange phenomena like superclusters, quasars, and the geometry of spacetime. As she does so, Dunkley unfurls the history of humankind's heroic journey to understand the history and structure of the cosmos, revealing the extraordinary, little-known stories of astronomy pioneers including Williamina Fleming, Vera Rubin and Jocelyn Bell Burnell.
Illuminating and uplifting, this is your essential guide to the biggest subject of all.

The Contact Paradox
In 1974 a message was beamed towards the stars by the giant Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico, a brief blast of radio waves designed to alert extraterrestrial civilisations to our existence.
Of course, we don't know if such civilisations really exist. For the past six decades a small cadre of researchers have been on a quest to find out, as part of SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. So far, SETI has found no evidence of extraterrestrial life, but with more than a hundred billion stars in our Galaxy alone to search, the odds of quick success are stacked against us.
The silence from the stars is prompting some researchers, inspired by the Arecibo transmission, to transmit more messages into space, in an effort to provoke a response from any civilisations out there that might otherwise be staying quiet. However, the act of transmitting raises troubling questions about the process of contact. We look for qualities such as altruism and intelligence in extraterrestrial life, but what do these mean to humankind? Can civilisations survive in the Universe long enough for us to detect them, and what can their existence, or lack thereof, reveal to us about our future prospects? Can we learn something about our own history when we explore what happens when two civilisations come into contact? Finally, do the answers tell us that it is safe to transmit, even though we know nothing about extraterrestrial life, or as Stephen Hawking argued, are we placing humanity in jeopardy by doing so?
In The Contact Paradox, author Keith Cooper looks at how far SETI has come since its modest beginnings, and where it is going, by speaking to the leading names in the field and beyond. SETI forces us to confront our nature in a way that we seldom have before - where did we come from, where are we going, and who are we in the cosmic context of things? This book considers the assumptions that we make in our search for extraterrestrial life, and explores how those assumptions can teach us about ourselves.

Egyszerűen elektronika
Mindennapi tárgyainknak, berendezéseinknek egyre jelentősebb része elektronikus működésű, amiről - a használati utasításon kívül - általában annyit tudunk, hogy életünket gazdagítja, sőt, szinte nélkülözhetetlen. Az elektronika kiszolgál bennünket, és feladataink megoldásában egyre intelligensebb módon, evékenyen vesz részt.
Mi az elektronika és hogyan működik? Erre a kérdésre a válaszadók két csoportját különböztethetjük meg: van, aki egyszerűen villamos berendezésnek titulálja, hiszen elektromos árammal (teleppel vagy hálózatról) működik, a tapasztaltabbak tudják, hogy egyedi (ma már többnyire félvezetős) elektronikai áramkörök működtetik, és képet, hangot, fizikai beavatkozást várhatunk tőlük.Mindennapi eszközeink bármelyik területére lépünk működésük magyarázatát szinte mindig ugyanazon alapdolgok bemutatásával kellene kezdeni, ezért azokat részletesen ismerteti a könyv.
A szerző elsődleges célja: felkelteni az olvasó érdeklődését e technika iránt, hogy a speciális ismeretanyagot - ha igénye van rá - továbbtanulással megszerezhesse.

Fúze - Energie vesmíru
Může být termonukleární fúze – energetický zdroj Slunce a hvězd – napodobena v pozemských podmínkách tak, aby zabezpečila nevyčerpatelnou, životnímu prostředí přátelskou energii na Zemi? V této knize britští výzkumníci popisují fascinující historii vědy o fúzní energii od prvních vědeckých myšlenek o úloze fúze ve vesmíru přes vysvětlení základních principů využití fúzní energie na Zemi až po naznačení širokých možností její komerční aplikace ve fúzních elektrárnách 21. století. Publikace se zaměřuje zejména na objasnění principu nejúspěšnějšího fúzního zařízení – ruského tokamaku, na aktuální informace o tom, jak pokračuje výstavba Mezinárodního termonukleárního experimentálního reaktoru (tokamaku ITER) v Cadarache ve Francii, i na poslední výsledky Národního zapalovacího zařízení (laseru NIF) z Lawrencovy národní laboratoře v kalifornském Livermoru (LLNL). Velký důraz autoři věnují zhodnocení současných zdrojů energie a způsobu, jak řešit její vzrůstající celospolečenskou potřebu, ze které jednoznačně vyplývá, že jedinou možností je řízená termonukleární fúze. Kniha je opatřena doslovem Radomíra Pánka o aktuálním stavu výzkumu fúze v České republice a zapojení českých vědců do mezinárodního vědeckovýzkumného programu ITER.

Dark Skies - A Journey into the Wild Night
Darkness has shaped our lives for millennia, and in this beautifully written nature narrative, Tiffany Francis travels around Britain and Europe to learn more about nocturnal landscapes, investigate how our experiences of the night-time world have permeated our history, folklore, science, geography, art and literature, and examine how our connection to the night has changed over time.
Tiffany travels through nightscapes across the UK and beyond, experiencing 24-hour daylight swimming in the Gulf of Finland and visiting Arctic Norway to witness the Northern Lights and speak to people who live in darkness for three months each year. She hikes through the haunted yew forests of Kingley Vale, embarks on a nocturnal sail down the River Dart, feeds foxes on a south London estate, and listens to Nightjars churring on Sussex heathland.
As she travels, Tiffany delves into the history of ancient rituals and seasonal festivals that we have linked with the light and dark halves of our year for millennia. How has our relationship with darkness changed over time? How have we used stars and other cosmic phenomena to tell stories about our lives and the landscapes around us?

Space Exploration - A History in 100 Objects
From Galileo's telescope to the International Space Station - a photo-filled tour through the milestones of space exploration
This eclectic pop history of space exploration, by scientist-educator Sten Odenwald at NASA, examines 100 objects - all stunningly photographed - and their effect on what we know and how we think about space. Whimsical and uniquely clarifying, Space Exploration - A History in 100 Objects covers the iconic, from Sputnik to Skylab, as well as the lesser-known but utterly important:
The ancient Greek Antikythera mechanism, the first known analog computer, which predicted astronomical movement.
Luna 3, the first satellite to glimpse the far side of the moon. The O-ring; the humble, rubber part that doomed the Space Shuttle Challenger.
Syncom 2, the first geosynchronous satellite, which made international TV possible.
The V-2 rocket, the first artificial object to cross the threshold of space - and many more!

Letters from an Astrophysicist
Join the galactic conversation on the biggest issues in the universe
'Don't fear change. Don't fear failure. The only thing to fear is loss of ambition.
But if you've got plenty of that, then you have nothing to fear at all' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
Neil deGrasse Tyson is arguably the most influential, acclaimed scientist on the planet. As director of the Hayden Planetarium, and host of Cosmosand StarTalk, he has dedicated his life to exploring and explaining the mysteries of the universe.
Every year, he receives thousands of letters - from students to prisoners, scientists to priests. Some seek advice, others yearn for inspiration; some are full of despair, others burst with wonder.
But they are all searching for understanding, meaning and truth.
His replies are by turns wise, funny, and mind-blowing. In this, his most personal book by far, he covers everything from God to the history of science, from aliens to death. He bares his soul - his passions, his doubts, his hopes.
The big theme is everywhere in these pages: what is our place in the universe?
The result is an awe-inspiring read and an intimate portal into an incredible mind, which reveals the power of the universe to start conversations and inspire curiosity in all of us.

Einstein's Monsters
Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, yet every galaxy harbours a black hole at its centre. In Einstein's Monsters, Chris Impey builds on this profound discovery to explore questions at the cutting edge of cosmology, such as what happens if you travel into a black hole and whether the galaxy or its black hole came first.
Impey chronicles the role black holes have played in theoretical physics. He then describes the phenomena that scientists have witnessed while observing black holes: dozens of stars swarming around the dark object at the centre of our galaxy; black holes performing gravitational waltzes with normal stars; the cymbal clash of two black holes colliding, releasing ripples in spacetime. Einstein's Monsters is the incredible story of one of the most enigmatic entities in nature.

Brief Answers to the Big Questions
The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe's biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work. This limited edition features the 'Big Questions Puzzle' devised by Josh Kirklin, a PhD student in Stephen Hawking's department at the University of Cambridge, and is inspired by the ten big questions in the book:
Is there a God?
How did it all begin?
Is there other intelligent life in the universe?
Can we predict the future?
What is inside a black hole?
Is time travel possible?
Will we survive on Earth?
Should we colonise space?
Will artificial intelligence outsmart us?
How do we shape the future?
Throughout his extraordinary career, Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on black holes, imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of space, Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our planet.
And now, as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth - from climate change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence - Stephen Hawking turns his attention to the most urgent issues for humankind.
Wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and infused with his characteristic humour, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS, the final book from one of the greatest minds in history, is a personal view on the challenges we face as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next.
