This is a visual description of the mathematics of space-time. It sets out to provide a sort of "map" of the cosmos, as it is now being revealed by the latest theories of quantum physics. But, just as it is not possible to make a true representation…
The non-local universe
Classical physics states that physical reality is local, or that a measurement at one point in space cannot cannot influence what occurs at another beyond a fairly short distance. Until recently this seemed like an immutable truth in nature. However,…

Making & Enjoying Telescopes: 6 Complete Projects & A Stargazer's Guide
This guide for the backyard astronomer provides basic information, offers activity ideas, and gives construction details and assembly drawings for six telescopes.
Conceptual foundations of modern particle physics
For scientific, technological and organizational reasons, the end of World War II (in 1945) saw a rapid acceleration in the tempo of discovery and understanding in nuclear physics, cosmic rays and quantum field theory, which together triggered the…
The new Alchemists: Breaking through the barriers of high pressure
Spanning centuries of top-notch science, bitter rivalry, outright fraud, and self-delusion, the author weaves a narrative centred around the brilliant, often eccentric, and controversial pioneers of high-pressure research. These new alchemists have…
Chaos, Fractals and Dynamics
This book attempts to understand processes in motion such as the movement of stars, the ups and downs of the stock market, the changes in weather, the changes chemicals undergo, and the motion of a pendulum. Students are introduced to chaos, fractals…
Astronomical discoveries you can make, too!
You too can follow in the steps of the great astronomers such as Hipparchus, Galileo, Kepler and Hubble, who all contributed so much to our modern understanding of the cosmos. This book gives the student or amateur astronomer the following tools to…
