An authoritative interdisciplinary account of the historic discovery of gravitational wavesIn 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves-ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the movement of large masses-as part of the theory of general relativity.
A compelling history of silence as a shaper of the human mind-in prisons, in places of contemplation, and in our own lives-from the author of Brilliant.
Changing Energyoutlines how humanity established the current energy economy through three previous transitions, and how we now stand poised for a necessary fourth transition.
Interest in studying the phenomena of convective heat and mass transfer between an ambient fluid and a body which is immersed in it stems both from fundamental considerations, such as the development of better insights into the nature of the underlying physical processes which take place, and from practical considerations, such as the fact that these idealised configurations serve as a launching pad formodelling the analogous transfer processes in more realistic physical systems.
