Astronomy, space and time

In "e;Human Missions to Mars"e; Donald Rapp looks at human missions to Mars from an engineering perspective.

This accessible introduction describes the branch of astronomy in which processes in the universe are investigated with experimental methods employed in particle-physics experiments.

Light scattering review (vol 8) is aimed at the presentation of recent advances in radiative transfer and light scattering optics.

This is the only extended textbook that covers in particular the physics of the upper polar atmosphere where the polar lights demonstrates the end product of a process taking place at extremely high latitudes between the solar wind and the upper polar atmosphere.

Information collected by satellites recently sent by the USA, the European Space Agency, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Russia to monitor the Sun has changed our knowledge and understanding of the Sun, particularly its effect on Earth.

The world as it is viewed from modern physics and cosmology has many strange and unexpected features.

The majority of books dealing with prospects for interstellar flight tackle the problem of the propulsion systems that will be needed to send a craft on an interstellar trajectory.

Developments in three-dimensional cloud radiation over the past few decades are assessed and distilled into this contributed volume.

This third edition of Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems and Integration - Enabling Technologies for Space Exploration, has been updated and expanded.

The monograph is devoted to a new branch of remote sounding of the iono- sphere - ionospheric tomography.

This book addresses hybrid simulation of plasmas; it is aimed at developing insight into the essence of plasma behavior.

This book describes how sand dunes work, why they are the way they are in different settings, and how they are being studied.

Addressing graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, this book presents a new formulation of the theory of gravity.

The astonishingly rapid development of the Large-Eddy Simulation technique during the last two or three years, both from the theoretical and applied points of view, have rendered the first edition of this book lacunary in some ways.

*MAUTD Physics — Corrected & Enhanced Revision* gathers Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4 into a single version that explicitly rejects the classic misconceptions: no wormholes, no Jupiter-mass requirements, no true antigravity, and no over-unity.

This book systematically examines Chinese astroarchaeology from the Neolithic period onward, aiming to reconstruct premodern knowledge systems and articulate the intellectual foundations of traditional Chinese culture.

THE VOLUMETRIC TIME MODELWhy the Future Feels DecidedDeluxe EditionWhat if your life isn't something that unfolds moment by moment, but something that already exists as a complete shape?

From the Big Bang to You tells the story of a single carbon atom across billions of years.

The Manufacture of IllusionHow Energy Beliefs and Astrology Are MarketedWhat if the awakening you were promised… was another product?

Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, each is made up of many hundreds of millions of stars in which the chemical elements are made, around which planets form, and where on at least one of those planets intelligent life has emerged.

For this set of lectures we assumed that the reader has a reasonable back- ground in physics and some knowledge of general relativity, the modern theory of gravity in macrophysics, and cosmology.
