Stephen Hawking : Friendship and Physics - Leonard Mlodinow
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 Habits 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 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.

Stephen Hawking: Paměti o přátelství a fyzice - Leonard Mlodinow
Stephen Hawking byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších fyziků naší doby, který ovlivnil životy milionů lidí. Fyzik a spisovatel Leonard Mlodinow ve své nové knize nabízí unikátní a nanejvýš osobní portrét jedinečného muže, s nímž téměř dvě desetiletí spolupracoval na různých knihách a se kterým ho pojilo vřelé přátelství. Setkáváme se s Hawkingem jako s géniem, který se zaměřuje na odhalení záhad vesmíru a nakonec formuluje průkopnickou teorii černých děr, jež znovu rozvíří vody kosmologie a odkryje zcela nové cesty fyzikům zkoumajícím původ vesmíru. Setkáváme se také s Hawkingem jako kolegou, jemuž jeho nemoc umožňuje komunikovat rychlostí pouze šesti slov za minutu, ale který nikdy nezapomene do těchto rozhovorů začlenit i humor. A setkáváme se s Hawkingem také jako s přítelem, který toho dokáže tolik říct pouhým úsměvem nebo jen zvednutím obočí. Modinow nás seznámí s Hawkingovou vášní pro víno a karí, zasvětí nás do jeho vztahu k lásce, smrti a zdravotnímu postižení, nevyhýbá se ani hlubokým otázkám filozofie a fyziky. Ať už líčí Hawkingovu oddanost práci, nebo barvitě popisuje příběh o tom, jak se Hawking vzdorovitě vymočil u keře na dvorku restaurace, která neměla bezbariérovou toaletu, vždy dokáže skvěle zachytit jeho nezkrotného ducha. Příběh hlubokého přátelství, který máte před sebou, vás naučí mnohé nejen o povaze a užitečnosti fyziky, ale také o životě a schopnostech lidí překonat ty nejtěžší překážky.

Stručné odpovede na veľké otázky - Stephen Hawking - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Počas celej svojej výnimočnej životnej a profesionálnej dráhy Stephen Hawking rozšíril naše poznatky o vesmíre a objasnil niektoré z jeho najväčších záhad. A hoci jeho teoretická práca o čiernych dierach, imaginárnom čase a viacnásobných históriách zaviedla jeho myseľ do najvzdialenejších končín vesmíru, Hawking bol vždy presvedčený, že pomocou vedy dokážeme vyriešiť problémy aj na našej planéte. V čase, keď čelíme potenciálne katastrofickým zmenám na Zemi – od zmeny podnebia cez ubúdania prírodných zdrojov po hrozbu umelej super inteligencie –, obrátil Stephen Hawking pozornosť na najnaliehavejšie otázky ľudstva. Stručné odpovede na veľké otázky, posledná kniha Stephena Hawkinga, je intelektuálne podnetným, vášnivo vyargumentovaným osobným pohľadom vedca na výzvy, ktorým čelíme ako ľudstvo, a na to, kam ako planéta ďalej smerujeme. „Neopúšťať planétu Zem je ako byť stroskotancom na pustom ostrove a nepokúšať sa odtiaľ uniknúť." "Bojujme spoločne za to, aby každá žena a každý muž mohli prežiť slušný a bezpečný život, prekypujúci možnosťami a láskou. My všetci sme cestovatelia v čase, na spoločnej ceste do budúcnosti. Pracujme však spolu na tom, aby sa z tejto budúcnosti stalo miesto, ktoré chceme navštíviť. Buďte odvážni, zvedaví, odhodlaní, prekonávajte prekážky. Dá sa to."

Hawking ve své knize určené širokému okruhu čtenářů zkoumá řadu z největších záhad vesmíru, i potenciální problémy, kterým čelí nebo může čelit lidstvo na naší domovské planetě. Kniha je rozdělena do čtyř oddílů s názvy Proč jsme tady? Přežijeme? Zachrání nás technologie, anebo zničí? Jak zajistit, aby se nám dařilo dobře? a zvažuje se v ní desítka "velkých otázek" - Existuje Bůh? Jak to všechno začalo? Co je uvnitř černé díry? Dokážeme předvídat budoucnost? Je možné cestovat v čase? Přežijeme na planetě Zemi? Existuje ve vesmíru inteligentní život? Měli bychom vesmír kolonizovat? Může nás umělá inteligence přechytračit? Jak utváříme budoucnost? V textu autor rozebírá mnohé obtíže, které mohou lidstvo ohrozit -, například klimatická změna, jaderná válka, rozvoj umělé existence, genetické modifikace člověka či střetnutí Země s asteroidem a prosazuje názor, že důležitou úlohu při řešení problémů na planetě Zemi sehraje věda.

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 PhD in metallurgy. He first worked in university research and then, for twenty years, he taught secondary school science.

The Universe Within - Neil Shubin
The Universe Within is a thrilling journey from today all the way back to the Big Bang, which shows the deep connections between the human body and the universe, from Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner FishWhat links the birth of the moon to our body clocks? How did the creation of the Atlantic Ocean affect how we have children? What does the water inside us and on Earth have to do with the deepest stretches of space? Humanity''s status in the cosmos can seem insignificant. Yet, as Neil Shubin shows, the one place where the universe, solar system and planet merge is inside your body. Exploring the smallest atomic structures and vastest reaches of space, Shubin uncovers a sublime truth: that in every one of us lies the most profound story of all - how we and our world came to be.Neil Shubin is a palaeontologist in the great tradition of his mentors, Ernst Mayr and Stephen Jay Gould. He has discovered fossils around the world that have changed the way we think about many of the key transitions in evolution and has pioneered a new synthesis of expeditionary palaeontology, developmental genetics and genomics. He trained at Columbia, Harvard and Berkeley and is currently a Professor in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago.''A new, fresh way of telling the story of life, the universe and everything ... hugely enjoyable'' Tim Radford, Guardian''Shubin is not only a distinguished scientist, but a wonderfully lucid and elegant writer; he is an irrepressibly enthusiastic teacher ... a science writer of the first rank'' Oliver Sacks''Glorious, uplifting ...
