Intended for graduate students and astronomers seeking an introduction to coronal physics, this textbook strikes a balance between the observational and theoretical aspects of the subject. This second edition takes into account the major…

Unlike the myriad points of light we gaze at in the night sky, our nearest star allows us to study the wonders of stellar workings at blindingly close range - from a mere 93 million miles away. And what do we see? In this book, two of the world's…

Als flamingant in de Eerste Wereldoorlog is hij een van de radicaalste jonge wetenschappers, die de Duitse bezetting willen aangrijpen om in Gent een Vlaamsche Hoogeschool te stichten. Als asielzoeker bouwt hij in Nederland een indrukwekkende carière…

This book presents a comprehensive, unified view of the obseving methods and tools of contemporary astrophysics. The collection of information coming from the celestial sources, the methods to process it, the fundamental laws of physics which control…

Op 27 mei 2009 wordt Frank De Winne, samen met de Rus Roman Romanenko en de Canadees Bob Thirsk gelanceerd naar het International Space Station (ISS) waar hij zes maanden lang zal leven en werken. Een bijzondere ervaring, niet alleen voor de…

The Holy Grail of modern physics is the search for a ‘quantum gravity’ view of the universe that unites Einstein’s general relativity with quantum theory. Until recently, these two foundational pillars of modern science have seemed incompatible:…

In this illuminating book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that fundamental physics -- the search for the laws of nature -- losing its way. Ambitious ideas about extra dimensions, exotic particles, multiple universes, and strings…

In The Life of the Cosmos, Lee Smolin offers a theory of the universe that is radically different from anything proposed before. He argues that 'The underlying structure of our world is to be found in the logic of evolution'. He departs from…
