Living in the small, isolated village of Oldland Common midway between Bath and Bristol, the twin pursuits of the young Bernard Lovell, playing the church organ and playing cricket, gave no indication of the key role he would play in the development of radar, radar astronomy, and radio astronomy. Lovell briefly traces his interest in physics to his hours tinkering with primitive radios as a boy, a visiting Methodist preacher's comments on Einstein's theory of relativity, and perhaps, most importantly, an incidental visit to a physics lab at University of Bristol. His early years in physics - research in electrical conductivity of thin layers of alkali metals and the measurement of energies of cosmic ray particles in a cloud chamber - were abruptly terminated in late July, 1939. Lovell was immediately assigned to secret radar research as bombing attacks by Germany were considered inevitable. Lovell's account of the war years is riveting. Radar capability was primitive, inadequate for airborne use in fighters, and useless for RAF bombers as not even major cities could be identified at night by radar. The young Lovell was soon managing the H2S project, the centimeter navigational and blind bombing radar system developed for night bombers of the RAF. With the stakes incalculable, research and development projects were transformed into operational capability in impossibly short time frames. This behind the scenes effort was not without risk as the Germans repeatedly targeted radar stations and R&D sites. In the years immediately after the war, everything was in short supply and rationing continued. Nonetheless, Lovell was able to revitalize a project to conduct radio observations of meteor showers by acquiring surplus radio and radar equipment through his war connections. With spade and shovel Lovell and colleagues installed radio antennas and receivers on a University of Manchester property used for botanical studies. This inauspicious beginning eventually resulted in design and construction of one of the world's foremost radio telescopes. The long, costly, controversial construction of the Jodrell Bank radio telescope (plus discussions of various research projects) comprise the bulk of Bernard Lovell's fascinating biography. The Jodrell Bank project far exceeded original cost estimates. Were it not for the tenacity of Lovell and a good deal of serendipity, Jodrell Bank would never have been completed. Astronomer By Chance will appeal to a wide audience. Bernard Lovell's story is one of drama and suspense, and additionally, it offers a fascinating look at the development of modern science from the war years through the 1980s. The technical discussions target the layman; the more technical reader will find these sections more interesting for their historical perspective. I quite enjoyed Lovell's biography and I highly recommend it.

That quest is captured in The Atom in the History of Human Thought. Here is a panoramic intellectual history that begins in ancient Greece, ranges across the entire span of Western philosophy and science, and ends with the first direct visual proof of the atom's existence, just ten years ago. Bernard Pullman deftly captures the richness and depth of this remarkable debate, giving us not only the ideas of philosophers, church leaders, and scientists, but also the historical and social context from which these thoughts evolved. We have marvellous accounts of the work of such thinkers as Plato and Aristotle, Aquinas and Maimonides, Galileo and Descartes, Newton and Einstein--indeed, virtually every major philosopher of Western civilization, with excursions into the Hindu and Arab world--all presented against the backdrop of history. But perhaps most fascinating is the gradual shift in the book from a philosophical and religious perspective to a scientific perspective, especially in the 19th century, as science begins to dominate how humanity understands the world. Thus a book that begins with pre-Socratic philosophers such as Democritus and Empedocles ends with nuclear physicists such as Werner Heisenberg and Richard Feynman, and with a very different world view. Ably translated by Axel Reisinger, this is a vibrant look at humanity's search to understand the ultimate nature of physical reality, a quest that has spanned the entire course of Western civilization.

Jenkner Title A name given to the resource The Invisible Sky: ROSAT and the Age of X-Ray Astronomy Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 13/apr/98 Description An account of the resource Since ROSAT, the ROentgen SATellite (named after Wilhelm Roentgen, the German physicist credited with discovering X-rays), was launched in June of 1990, it has revealed an entirely new aspect of the night skythat of objects emitting X-rays rather than the rays of light visible to the human eye. ROSAT has discovered over 120,000 X-ray sources, allowing us to observe elements of the cosmosstellar explosions, galactic collisions, extremely compact pulsars, black holes, and quasars that shine 10,000 times more strongly than the brightest galaxyin ways that were previously impossible. In addition to its many other spectacular findings, ROSAT made news headlines on March 27, 1996 when it detected X-rays coming from a comet for the first time ever. Discovered by a team of U.S. and German astrophysicists while observing Comet Hyakutake, ROSAT revealed an incredibly strong radiation signalabout 100 times brighter than even the most optimistic redictions. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to describe one of the most remarkable instruments in modern astronomy. It offers fascinating images and engaging accounts of a wide range of Solar System and deep space objects such as Comet Hyakutake, the Sun, the Moon, and objects outside the Milky Way. The Invisible Sky tells the story of one of the most successful scientific instruments ever launched through the words of two of the scientists who were instrumental in the design and launching of the satellite, along with Hermann-Michael Hann, an accomplished science journalist. This extraordianry collaboration chronicles the beginnings, early failures, construction, and deployment of the most famous of X-ray observatories in a highly readable account of cutting-edge science illustrated with spectacular color images from ROSAT Language A language of the resource nothing Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hardcover https://bib.cozmix.cloud/files/original/3e9bb874661312b1da6aaa12d96300d7.jpg 0ba45ccfd5fbeaacb4f7f374bfca42be Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A sphere has, however, only one centre, and therefore if the sphere remains fixed the observer cannot move about and yet always remain at the centre. The old astronomers met this difficulty by supposing that the celestial sphere was so large that any possible motion of the observer would be insignificant in comparison with the radius of the sphere and could be neglected. It is often more convenient—when we are using the sphere as a mere geometrical device for representing the position of the stars—to regard the sphere as moving with the observer, so that he always remains at the centre. 8. Although the stars all appear to move across the sky (§ 5), and their rates of motion differ, yet the distance between any two stars remains unchanged, and they were / consequently regarded as being attached to the celestial ' sphere. Moreover a little careful observation would have shown that the motions of the stars in different parts of the sky, though at first sight very different, were just such as would have been produced by the celestial sphere—with the stars attached to it—turning about an axis passing through the centre and through a point in the northern sky close to the familiar pole-star. This point is called the pole. As, however, a straight line drawn through the centre of a sphere meets it in two points, the axis of the celestial sphere meets it again in a second point, opposite the first, lying in a part of the celestial sphere which is permanently below the horizon. This second point is also called a pole; and if the two poles have to be distinguished, the one mentioned first is called the north pole, and the other the south pole. The direction of the rotation of the celestial sphere about its axi...

Title A name given to the resource Een kleine geschiedenis van bijna alles Description An account of the resource In 'Een kleine geschiedenis van bijna alles' onderneemt Bill Bryson zijn meest avontuurlijke reis tot nu toe: die door het leven zelf. Met hetzelfde enthousiasme en dezelfde nieuwsgierigheid als waarmee hij vele landen op de wereld bezocht en beschreef, legt hij nu de geschiedenis van het leven op aarde vast. Al zijn hele leven heeft Bryson zich afgevraagd of het mogelijk was de essentiële onderwerpen van belangrijke wetenschappen als geologie, scheikunde, paleontologie en astronomie, waarin de geheimen van het leven besloten liggen, op een duidelijke en spannende manier op te schrijven. Het resultaat van deze jarenlange obsessie is dit boek, waarin Bryson deze ingewikkelde zaken niet alleen ontsluiert maar ze ook op heldere, spannende en meeslepende wijze beschrijft. Hoe kunnen ze weten hoe en wanneer het heelal begon en hoe het was toen het begon? Hoe weten ze wat er zich in een atoom afspeelt? En dan nog de vraag - misschien wel bovenal - hoe kan het dat wetenschappers vaak van alles lijken te weten, maar nog steeds geen aardbeving kunnen voorspellen of ons zelfs maar vertellen of we een paraplu moeten meenemen naar de races van volgende week woensdag?
