The instant Sunday Times bestseller -- a beautiful story of rebellion and science''A triumph. . . We are left in a world that is not disenchanted by science, but even more magical'' Financial TimesIn June 1925, twenty-three-year-old Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, had retreated to the treeless, wind-battered island of Helgoland in the North Sea in order to think. Walking all night, by dawn he had wrestled with an idea that would transform the whole of science and our very conception of the world.In Helgoland Carlo Rovelli tells the story of the birth of quantum physics and its bright young founders who were to become some of the most famous Nobel winners in science. It is a celebration of youthful rebellion and intellectual revolution. An invitation to a magical place.Here Rovelli illuminates competing interpretations of this science and offers his own original view, describing the world we touch as a fabric woven by relations. Where we, as every other thing around us, exist in our interactions with one another, in a never-ending game of mirrors.A dazzling work from a celebrated scientist and master storyteller, Helgoland transports us to dizzying heights, reminding us of the many pleasures of the life of the mind.Translated by Erica Segre and Simon CarnellChosen as a Book of the Year by The Times, Financial Times, Sunday Times, Guardian and ProspectShortlisted for the Nayef Al-Rodhan Prize

From Carlo Rovelli, the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, this is a story of wonder, new worlds and why the end is just the beginningLet us journey into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us.Eventually, we'll pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white hole is born .. . With lightness and magic, here Carlo Rovelli traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, of the uncertainty and joy of going where we've not yet been.Guiding us to the edge of theory and experiment, he invites us to go beyond, to experience the fever and the disquiet of science. Here is the extraordinary life of a white hole.

Prekvapujúco objavný pohľad na kvantovú teóriuČo je kvantová fyzika, ako ju objavili a čo vypovedá o nás? Odpoveď na tieto otázky formuluje Carlo Rovelli s preňho typickou filozofickou a kultúrnou hĺbkou, pričom jeho texty zostávajú jasné, výstižné a často priam lyrické.Začína opisom zrodu kvantovej fyziky na fascinujúcom ostrove bez stromov Helgoland v Severnom mori, kde sa mladý Werner Heisenberg liečil zo sennej nádchy. Práve tam prvý raz zazrel za klasickou mechanikou neobyčajné a prekrásne vnútro reality. V Rovelliho rozprávaní ožívajú géniovia svojej doby, približuje nám ich zvláštne pokusy, cez ktoré sa snažili pochopiť kvantovú teóriu, a objasňuje, prečo uznáva interpretáciu reality založenú na vzájomných interakciách a vzťahoch. Pokúša sa vysvetliť význam a vplyv tejto novej vízie sveta na filozofiu aj na chápanie seba samého. Sám hovorí:„Pochopenie, že neexistujeme ako autonómne subjekty, nám pomáha oslobodiť sa od pripútania a utrpenia. Práve pre svoju nestálosť, pre absenciu každého Absolútna má život zmysel a je drahocenný... sme len obrazmi obrazov. Realita vrátane nás samých je iba slabým a krehkým závojom, za ktorým... niet ničoho.“

Známý soudobý teoretický fyzik Carlo Rovelli, jeden z tvůrců smyčkové kvantové gravitace, ale také vynikající spisovatel, se v této knize zabývá okolnostmi vzniku kvantové mechaniky, snad nejpozoruhodnější fyzikální teorie všech dob. Nejprve elegantně líčí její zrod v díle Heisenberga a Schrödingera a popisuje hlavní podivnosti teorie. Následuje líčení, jak se s nimi různí fyzikové pokusili vypořádat: zavedli kvůli nim paralelní vesmíry, skryté fyzikální proměnné anebo postulovali kolaps měření. Ani s jedním z těchto bizarních řešení se Rovelli neztotožňuje a předkládá čtenáři zajímavou a přirozenou variantu, takzvanou relační interpretaci kvantové teorie. A jak už je Rovelliho dobrým zvykem, jedná se o napínavé, poučné, a přitom obecně srozumitelné čtení.

Autor, přední teoretický fyzik, spolutvůrce smyčkové kvantové gravitace, ale také výtečný spisovatel, se ve své nejnovější knize zabývá tajemstvím času, možná vůbec největší záhadou světa. V první části srozumitelným způsobem shrnuje, co o čase zjistila moderní fyzika. Vysvětluje, že fyzikální čas vůbec není unikátní, všude stejný a stejně plynoucí, dokonce není ani spojitý, a na kvantové úrovni se úplně vytrácí. Do tohoto podivuhodného světa zbaveného vší časovosti nás Rovelli zavádí ve druhé části knihy, aby nás ve třetí části své dobrodružné výpravy dovedl zpátky k nám, k lidským bytostem. Je totiž nutné vysvětlit, odkud se vlastně bere náš intenzivní pocit plynoucího času. Během pátrání po pachateli Rovelli přichází s odvážnou myšlenkou, totiž že pachatelem může být sám detektiv. Neboť tajemství času možná ve své podstatě netkví v základech v kosmu, ale v nás samotných.

eBook: Známý soudobý teoretický fyzik a nadšený popularizátor vědy Carlo Rovelli se ve své knize zaměřuje na zrod a interpretaci snad nejpozoruhodnější fyzikální teorie všech dob - kvantové mechaniky. Její základy položil Werner Heisenberg na odloučeném ostrově Helgoland v polovině 20. let minulého století a poznatky teorie se dodnes vymykají našim zažitým představám o fungování fyzikálního světa. Vědci se snažili vypořádat s podivuhodností kvantové mechaniky různými způsoby, například zaváděním nekonečného množství paralelních vesmírů, skrytých proměnných nebo předpovídáním dosud nepozorovaných fyzikálních mechanismů. Ani s jedním z těchto řešení se však Rovelli neztotožňuje a tvrdí, že k pochopení teorie je nutné opustit myšlenkové mantinely klasické fyziky a zásadně proměnit způsob, jakým nahlížíme na realitu a naše místo v ní. Rovelli znovu dokazuje, že dokáže poutavě, napínavě a srozumitelně líčit složitá témata pohybující se na pomezí fyziky a filozofie.Vychází ve spolupráci s nakladatelstvím Argo.

Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, art and philosophy, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery, inviting us to imagine a world where time is in us and we are not in time.

eBook: Jedním z největších problémů moderní teoretické fyziky je kvantování gravitace, které se snaží propojit tři pilíře moderní fyziky: obecnou relativitu, kvantovou teorii a statistickou fyziku. Nejúspěšnějším pokusem posledních desetiletí je teorie smyčkové kvantové gravitace, vypracovaná týmem předních teoretiků, do kterého patří i autor této knihy Carlo Rovelli. Této teorii se podařilo dobře definovat kvanta prostoru i kvanta času a zdá se, že nekonečně malé rozměry ani nekonečně krátké časové intervaly opravdu neexistují. K důsledkům této teorie patří, že "realita není, čím se zdá": vzdálenost nelze dělit donekonečna, čas na fundamentální úrovni neexistuje, zmizí nepříjemné singularity z teorie černých děr a prvních okamžiků po velkém třesku. Nejlepším prostředníkem k seznámení s novým konceptem i jeho důsledky je tato výborně napsaná kniha: jednak proto, že ji napsal jeden z hlavních autorů celé teorie, ale zejména z toho důvodu, že Rovelli má vzácný talent jasně, poutavě a s nadhledem vysvětlovat nejspletitější fyzikální teorie. Kromě toho jde prozatím o jediné populární zpracování tohoto zajímavého a aktuálního tématu. Vychází ve spolupráci s nakladatelstvím Argo.

Kvantování gravitace patří k největším problémům dnešní teoretické fyziky. Nejde o nic menšího než o správné propojení tří pilířů moderní fyziky, jimiž jsou obecná relativita, kvantová teorie a statistická fyzika. A protože Einsteinova obecná relativita vysvětluje gravitaci deformací prostoročasu, klíčové je pochopit, co znamená kvantum prostoru a času. Rovelliho teorie má dalekosáhlé důsledky: „realita není, čím se zdá“, vzdálenost nelze dělit donekonečna, čas na fundamentální úrovni neexistuje, v centrech černých děr ani v počátečním velkém třesku našeho vesmíru nejsou ukryty ošklivé singularity. Zní to fantasticky a nepochopitelně? Skvěle napsaná kniha (vůbec první na toto téma) z pera jednoho z hlavních tvůrců smyčkové kvantové gravitace vám vysvětlí podrobnosti. A porozumíte jim. Protože Rovelli má vzácný talent s nadhledem vysvětlovat vrcholné vědecké teorie jasně a podmanivě, aniž by podlehl svodům komplikovaného matematického aparátu. Ne nadarmo se jeho popularizační knihy staly světovými bestsellery.

Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money-investing, personal finance, and business decisions-is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, DAILY TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN AND BBC SCIENCE FOCUS'An intimate, unique, and inspiring perspective on the life and work of one of the greatest minds of our time. Filled with insight, humour, and never-before-told stories, it's a view of Stephen Hawking that few have seen and all will appreciate' James Clear, author of Atomic HabitsAn icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their collaboration, offering an intimate account of this giant of science. The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen's daily life and struggles -- as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge's waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finish Stephen's jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe. By weaving together their shared story with a clear-sighted portrayal of Hawking's scientific achievements, Mlodinow creates a beautiful portrait of Stephen Hawking as a brilliant, impish and generous man whose life was not only exceptional but also genuinely inspiring.

An English teacher's love letter to reading and the many ways literature can make us, and our lives, better. How can a Victorian poem help teenagers understand YouTube misogyny? Can Jane Eyre encourage us to speak out? What can Lady Macbeth teach us about empathy? Should our expectations for our future be any greater than Pip’s? And why is it so important to make space for these conversations in the first place?In a career spanning almost three decades, English teacher Carol Atherton has taught generations of students texts that will be familiar to many of us from our own schooldays. But while the staples of exam syllabuses and reading lists remain largely unchanged, their significance – and their relevance – evolves with each class, as it encounters them for the first time.Each chapter of Reading Lessons invites us to take a fresh look at these novels, plays and poems, revealing how they have shaped our beliefs, our values, and how we interact as a society. As she recalls her own development as a teacher, Atherton emphasizes the vital, undervalued role a teacher plays, illustrates how essential reading is for developing our empathy and makes a passionate case for the enduring power of literature.

''Excellent. . . Sellars gives a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to, and how you might start to put it into practice'' Nigel Warburton How can Stoicism inspire us to lead more enjoyable lives?In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? In Lessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics -- Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius -- with snapshots of their fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today. In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live -- how to understand one''s place in the world, how to cope when things don''t go well, how to manage one''s emotions and how to behave towards others. Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a good life.

eBook: Učebnice Basics of Medical Physics (Základy lékařské fyziky) popisuje základní fyzikální vztahy a metody, se kterými se lékař může nejčastěji setkat v klinické nebo experimentální medicíně. Lékařská fyzika je specifická tím, že se zabývá aplikací fyzikálních metod na živý organismus. Je tedy interdisciplinárním vědním oborem, který spojuje fyziku a biologické vědy. Kniha obsahuje osm kapitol: Stavba hmoty; Molekulární biofyzika; Termodynamika; Biofyzika elektrických projevů a účinků; Akustika a fyzikální principy sluchu; Optika; Fyzika rentgenového záření a jeho použití v lékařství; Radioaktivita a ionizující záření. Text je doplněn mnoha obrázky, které pomůžou k snadnějšímu pochopení dané problematiky. Metody, které jsou v učebnici vysvětleny, jsou založeny na různých fyzikálních principech. Některé z nich, např. používání optických zvětšovacích čoček nebo rentgenového záření, jsou známé více než 100 let, jiné nacházejí díky technologickému pokroku uplatnění až v poslední době, jako např. zobrazování magnetickou rezonancí nebo pozitronovou emisní tomografií. Čtenář by tak měl po prostudování této knihy získat ucelený přehled o možnostech využití různých fyzikálních metod v medicíně. Měl by být schopen fyzikální vztahy uvedené v učebnici chápat v širších souvislostech a popsané metody aplikovat v jednotlivých lékařských oborech.

An icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their friendship, offering an intimate account of this giant of science.The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen's daily life and struggles - as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge's waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finish Stephen's jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe.By weaving together their shared story with a clear-sighted portrayal of Hawking's scientific achievements, Mlodinow creates a beautiful portrait of Stephen Hawking as a brilliant, impish and generous man whose life was not only exceptional but also genuinely inspiring.
