Universe and Beyond - Dickinson Terence

In the almost 15 years since the release of the fifth edition of The Universe and Beyond, our understanding of the universe has advanced exponentially. Previous editions guided readers through the intriguing world of black holes, dark matter and dark energy, toured the planets of other stars and plumbed the mysteries of quasars, pulsars, supernovas and the accelerating universe. In this new edition, Terence Dickinson and his longtime editorial partner Susan Dickinson joined forces to return to these earlier tours armed with exciting new information on the origin and evolution of the universe, the birth of planets, life on our solar system’s outer moons, runaway black holes, the first gravitational waves, an enigmatic interstellar visitor and more.These recent discoveries have spawned a host of questions about the universe that couldn’t even be imagined a decade ago. Illustrating this voyage are breathtaking photos captured by the groundbreaking Hubble Space Telescope during the later phase of its mission and by the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope, which has already allowed us to observe first stars and the formation of first galaxies and has provided information about potentially habitable exoplanets.

Nightwatch - Dickinson Terence, Ken Hewitt-White

As NightWatch, Terence Dickinson''s classic stargazing guide, neared its 40th anniversary, Dickinson worked with a small group of trusted colleagues to give this groundbreaking reference an overhaul that will take it deep into the 21st century. Longtime astronomy writer and sky observer Ken Hewitt-White led the editorial team. A central aspect to this new edition is the subtle improvements to the unique seasonal star charts that present a 360-degree simulation of the night sky on one page and identify the stars and constellations on the facing page. Yet it is Dickinson''s clear, jargon-free language that will continue to inspire hundreds of thousands of people around the world to take up recreational astronomy. Much has happened in this popular hobby since the revised Fourth Edition of NightWatch was published in 2006. In response, the text has been substantially revised and updated throughout all 13 chapters. Moreover, the book has been completely redesigned and most of its many photographs have been replaced. A noted feature is the variety of superb astrophotos of star clusters, nebulas, galaxies and other celestial phenomena taken by accomplished amateur astronomers. Lavishly illustrated sections on the Moon and planets will inspire novice observers of the solar system. To ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hubble Legacy - Jim Bell

This is the definitive book on the Hubble Space Telescope, written by noted astronomer Jim Bell. Looking deep into space, by definition, means looking back in time—and the Hubble Space Telescope can look very far back, including at stars, nebulae, and galaxies that are millions, even billions, of years old. If there is a single legacy of Hubble as it turns 30 years old and nears the end of its useful life, it is this: It has done more to chronicle the origin and evolution of the known universe than any other instrument ever created. Hubble has also captured an astounding collection of ultraviolet images that include geysers of solar light, Mars’ famous dust storms, exploding stars, solar flares, globular clusters, and actual galaxies colliding. As for scientific milestones, Hubble has helped us learn that the universe is 13.8 billion years old, that just about every large galaxy features a black hole at its center, and that it's possible to create 3-D maps of dark matter. Hubble Legacy will not only feature the most stunning imagery captured by the telescope, but also explain how Hubble has advanced our understanding of the universe and our very creation.

The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson - Emily Dickinsonová

Explore the essence of life, love, nature, and time in exquisite verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson’s finest poems. Born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most of her life in seclusion, devoted to writing. She scarcely left home, nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were published in her lifetime, submitted without her permission by friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her work as a poet came to light—over 1,700 poems were discovered in a dresser drawer by her sister, Lavinia. Emily Dickinson’s poems reflect her loneliness, as well as her love of nature, the influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England, and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet, it is her use of language, form, and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American letters and, along with Walt Whitman, a founder of a distinctly American voice in modern poetry.

1999: Manchester United, the Treble and All That - Matt Dickinson

In 1999, Manchester United completed a unique Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - but more remarkable than that was how they did it, and the stories behind the historic achievement. Matt Dickinson covered the whole story at the time, and now in 99 compelling chapters brings it all vividly to life.

The Cell - Graham Cowling, Terence Allen

All living things on Earth are composed of cells. A cell is the simplest unit of a self-contained living organism, and the vast majority of life on Earth consists of single-celled microbes, mostly bacteria. These consist of a simple ''prokaryotic'' cell, with no nucleus. The bodies of more complex plants and animals consist of billions of ''eukaryotic'' cells, of varying kinds, adapted to fill different roles - red blood cells, muscle cells, branched neurons. Each cell is an astonishingly complex chemical factory, the activities of which we have only begun to unravel in the past fifty years or so through modern techniques of microscopy, biochemistry, and molecular biology.In this Very Short Introduction, Terence Allen and Graham Cowling describe the nature of cells - their basic structure, their varying forms, their division, their differentiation from initially highly flexible stem cells, their signalling, and programmed death. Cells are the basic constituent of life, and understanding cells and how they work is central to all biology and medicine.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

The Coroner's Silence - Terence Keel

For readers of His Name Is George Floyd and Under the Skin A landmark investigation into forensic medicine that exposes the systematic concealment of state-sanctioned violence through death investigationsEach year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they''ve sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd''s and Sandra Bland''s, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner''s Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims'' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability. The Coroner’s Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform.

Garden of the Brave in War - Terence O'Donnell

When Terence O''Donnell, an American who lived in Iran for fifteen years in the 1960s and 1970s, was asked what he was doing there, he replied, "The conviction of all Iranians, of most of my compatriots, and indeed of the Russians, was that I was engaged in intelligence work. I was, and what is more I filed a daily report. My employer was myself and my reports consisted of eight thousand pages of journal. This book was drawn from that material." For ten of those years, O''Donnell lived on a farm near Shiraz, in southern Iran, where he raised mainly pomegranates, but also quinces, grapes, chickens, and bees. He also made many Iranian friends. His memories of that time have yielded a masterpiece of national portraiture, wonderfully alive to the complexities of the Iranian character -- courteous, capricious, deeply religious yet also playful, generous, and poetic. A work of shimmering beauty and sensitivity, Garden of the Brave in War will deepen every reader''s understanding of the often elusive country that lies behind the headlines.

Co dělá tenhle knoflík? - Autobiografie frontmana skupiny Iron Maiden - Bruce Dickinson

Malý Bruce byl do šesti let vychováván prarodiči v anglickém Worksopu, jeho rodiče se totiž vydali na cestu se svou psí show. Po studiu na internátní škole se vydal do Londýna na Queen Mary University a zahájil studium historie. Ne že by chtěl být historikem, ale byla to dobrá záminka, jak se od rodičů dostat a věnovat se muzice. A to se mu podařilo! V knize vypráví o svém angažmá v různých kapelách, předtím než se přidal k Iron Maiden, kteří ho proslavili. Iron Maiden vydali šestnáct studiových alb, ve kterých se vystřídali tři zpěváci: Paul Di’Anno, Bruce Dickinson a Blaze Bayley, který Bruce na pár let nahradil. Prodali přes 100 miliónů desek a byli čtyřikrát nominováni na cenu Grammy. Nominaci za píseň El Dorado dokonce proměnili. Procestovali celý svět díky pětadvaceti divokým turné. Začali dokonce pro přesun používat vlastní leteckou linku Ed Force One, která je pojmenovaná po maidenovském maskotovi Eddiemu, hubeném kostlivci, který Maideny doprovází už od začátku. Ale nejen to! V knize se totiž dozvíte nejen o jeho hudební kariéře a výhodách a úskalích života heavymetalové hvězdy, ale také o tom, jak se učil létat a získal pilotní licenci, o jeho vztahu k šermu a o boji ...

Manchester United Treble a příběh úžasné sezony - Matt Dickinson

V roce 1999 zkompletoval Manchester United unikátní treble, když vyhrál Premier League, FA Cup a Ligu mistrů – ještě pozoruhodnější však bylo, jak se mu to podařilo, a příběhy, které za tímto historickým úspěchem stály. Když sezóna začínala, byl Manchester United na prodej, končil legendární Eric Cantona, konkurenční Arsenal byl úřadujícím dvojnásobným mistrem, David Beckham byl po vyloučení během mistrovství světa nenáviděnou postavou národa, a dokonce i pozice manažera Alexe Fergusona byla zpochybňována. Hnáni nezdolnou vůlí kapitána Roye Keana a podporováni odchovanci Beckhamem, Nickym Buttem, Ryanem Giggsem, Gary Nevillem či Paulem Scholesem se United vydali na dlouhou sérii bez porážky. Matt Dickinson byl po celou dobu blízko kabině United. Vyzdvihuje klíčové momenty a hovoří s těmi, kteří byli v centru dění, i s těmi, co zůstávali v pozadí. 1999: Je to mnohem víc než jen kniha pro fanoušky Manchesteru United; je to vhled do budování týmu, vůle po úspěchu a příběh hrdosti. Odhaluje skutečné příběhy stojící za legendou, kterou zpečetil Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vstřeleným gólem v poslední minutě finále Ligy mistrů.

Exordia - Seth Dickinson

Ambiciózní sci-fi román o setkání s nepřátelskou mimozemskou civilizací Exordia — jak strašidelné galaktické impérium, tak stejnojmenný román — představuje tresť všeho, co má správná sci-fi mít. Kurdská odstřelovačka, již pro své zájmy získají krvelační vetřelci, íránský stíhací pilot, který ovládne warp, čínská matematička a její nesmělá katolická milenka z Filipín, ugandští těžaři, kanadští prospektoři, zaměstnanci americké vlády, ruští molodci… a hrozba zničení Země a zotročení galaxie ztělesněným Zlem, jasně umístěným na exaktní škále morálních hodnot. Seth Dickinson rozjíždí válku světů, kde se jako na horské dráze střídají ohromující technobitvy s existenciálními úvahami, osobní dilemata s kosmickými nejistotami, časoprostorové anomálie s křehkostmi lidského sebevnímání. A to všechno naložil na hrb postavám, které si zamilujeme ne pro jejich sílu, ale pro humor, s nímž nesou svoji slabost, a statečnost, k níž jim dopomohly přízraky vlastní minulosti.

The Communal Universe - Andrew McNeil

This book will take you on a journey through our physical universe, based on current, established science. The journey starts with the simplest fundamental particles, such as quarks and electrons, and ends with the most complex of all material objects – our human brains.Our universe has evolved through forming communities of things, with simpler things coming together in new groupings to make more complex things. So, every “thing” in the universe is a community of things, and at every level a community is greater than the sum of its separate parts.If we view the universe in terms of communities, it takes the form of a hierarchy of eight levels of communities, from protons and neutrons to human societies. And at every level in this universal hierarchy, the communities are bound together by ceaseless interactive exchanges.So, our universe reveals itself as a dynamic hierarchy, sustained by endless exchanges between members of the communities at every level. Each of us is the universe in microcosm, for we each embody all eight levels of the universal hierarchy.It is through things coming together and forming communities that the universe, with us now in it, has come to be what it is.Andrew McNeil has a ...
