Ancient Astronomy: An Encyclopedia of Cosmologies and Myth
Posted by: | Comments
Product Description
Ancient Astronomy: An Encyclopedia of Cosmologies and Myth draws on archaeological evidence and oral traditions to reveal how prehistoric humans perceived the skies and celestial phenomena. With over 200 entries, it offers a number of ways to approach ancient astronomy, from key examples and case studies worldwide (Stonehenge; Mexican and Egyptian pyramids; Chaco Canyon, New Mexico; the Nazca lines in Peru) to general themes (cosmologies, calendars, ancient ideas of… More >>
Your Cosmic Context: An Introduction to Modern Cosmology
Posted by: | Comments
Product Description
Your Cosmic Context provides a framework for exploring the nature and history of our universe. Equally well suited for independent reading and study or for a one-term general education course in cosmology, this book is a guide to the key insights of scientific cosmology, including the big bang theory and exotic entities like dark matter and dark energy. It also explains how we discovered the surprising things we now know about the distant reaches of … More >>
The Primordial Density Perturbation: Cosmology, Inflation and the Origin of Structure
Posted by: | Comments
Product Description
This graduate-level textbook gives a thorough account of theoretical cosmology and perturbations in the early Universe, describing their observational consequences and showing how to relate such observations to primordial physical processes, particularly cosmological inflation. With ambitious observational programs complementing ever-increasing sophistication in theoretical modeling, cosmological studies will remain at the cutting edge of astrophysical studies for t… More >>

Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation
Posted by: | Comments
Product Description
General relativity and quantum mechanics have become the two central pillars of theoretical physics. Moreover, general relativity has important applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle physics. Covering the fundamentals of the subject, Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation describes the universe as revealed by observations and presents a theoretical framework to enable important cosmological formulae to be derived and numerical calculations performed….

- Condition: NEW
- Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.
Product Description
This is the compelling, first-hand account of Alan Guth’s paradigm-breaking discovery of the origins of the universe—and of his dramatic rise from young researcher to physics superstar. Guth’s startling theory—widely regarded as one of the most important contributions to science during the twentieth century—states that the big bang was set into motion by a period of hyper-rapid “inflation,” lasting only a billion-trillion-billionth of a second. The Inf… More >>
Principles of Physical Cosmology
Posted by: | Comments
Product Description
During the last twenty years, dramatic improvements in methods of observing astrophysical phenomena from the ground and in space have added to our knowledge of what the universe is like now and what it was like in the past, going back to the hot big bang. In this overview of today’s physical cosmology, P.J.E. Peebles shows how observation has combined with theoretical elements to establish the subject as a mature science, while he also discusses the most notable rec… More >>

Plasma Cosmology. Mysterious planetary scars on the planets and moons of our solar system. These continue to shock, surprise, and confound mainstream astronomy, although there are simple, verifiable answers at hand. Birkeland, Alfven, thunderbolts, lightning, thornhill, perratt, talbott. Thunderbolts of the gods. Electric Universe. www.thunderbolts.info www.plasmacosmology.net The mainstream have attempted to reproduce planetary scars by throwing stones into flour, but have hopelessly failed to create any of the enigmatic features shown in this short vid
Physical Foundations of Cosmology
Posted by: | Comments
Product Description
Inflationary cosmology has been developed over the last twenty years to remedy serious shortcomings in the standard hot big bang model of the universe. Taking an original approach, this textbook explains the basis of modern cosmology and shows where the theoretical results come from. The book is divided into two parts; the first deals with the homogeneous and isotropic model of the Universe, the second part discusses how inhomogeneities can explain its structure. Es… More >>
