Universe Theory

The Short Story of the Universe is a new introduction to the subject of the universe. Covering 130 key components that make it up - from dwarf galaxies and spiral arms to red giants and the planets of the solar system - and linking these to the universe's structure and the theories that help us understand it, this book simplifies this riveting yet mind-boggling subject, telling the story of how it came into being and how it will eventually be no more.

Too often, textbooks obscure the beauty and wonder of outer space with tedious discourse that even Galileo would oppose. Astronomy 101 cuts out the boring details and lengthy explanations, and instead, gives you a lesson in astronomy that keeps you engaged as you discover what's hidden beyond our starry sky. From the Big Bang and nebulae to the Milky Way and Sir Isaac Newton, this celestial primer is packed with hundreds of entertaining astronomy facts you won't be able to get anywhere else.

This book - the first comprehensive transatlantic history of the rise of neoliberal politics - presents a surprising answer. Based on archival research and interviews with leading participants in the movement, Masters of the Universe traces the ascendancy of neoliberalism from the academy of interwar Europe to supremacy under Reagan and Thatcher and in the decades since. Daniel Stedman Jones argues that there was nothing inevitable about the victory of free-market politics.

En este magnífico libro, los autores aplican su amplia experiencia en la economía de América Latina a deconstruir los sofismas del capitalismo financiero global, sus dramáticas consecuencias para los pueblos, el ecosistema y la convivencia democrática. Una valiosa contribución al conocimiento de las especulaciones del actual capitalismo financiero en el conjunto de los países iberoamericanos –España y Portugal incluidos–, de la necesidad de evitarlas o de hacerles frente, de las respuestas que articulan los pueblos que no se resignan a sufrir sus efectos perversos.

The Big Bing will be a mandatory addition to the library of everyone who works for a living, or would like to.

David Shaw has a Master of Arts degree in philosophy from Aquinas Institute, 1961. This three-year in-depth program focused on Aristotle illuminated with commentaries by Thomas Aquinas. We have endured 300 years since the Four Revolutionaries of Modern Science began their dismemberment of the Greek cosmos that had endured for 2,000 years. The Hebrew cosmos and the Greek cosmos made up the traditional theories of creation for the Western world. Our universe and the ancient Universe are vastly different. The ancient Universe was static. It was thought to have no history.

Can astral projection be achieved by anybody? Well, yes and no. Although it is possible for anyone to achieve astral projection, it takes a lot of practice and patience to get there. First of all, you need to understand that there are no shortcuts in this field. If you want to achieve success as quickly as possible, then this guide is not for you. Instead, you should take your time learning the basics before moving on to more advanced techniques (such as visualizations). Once you have mastered these skills, then everything else will become easier!

Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs is Lisa Randall’s most popular science book and proposes a new theory about the extinction of dinosaurs. The famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner Kip Thorne commented on the book: “Although it is a popular science book, it reads like a detective story. The writing uses scientific facts, coupled with rigorous logical reasoning, and reaches a shocking conclusion.”

Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their astronomical observations. In it, they had found the key to unravelling the story of the big bang and the origin of our universe. That signal was the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the big bang. This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space.

The "universe" refers to all "observable things", ranging in size from the entire cosmos to elementary particles. A guide for an enjoyable visit to the universe, this small tome on fundamental physics, cosmology, Higgs bosons, time travel, and all that is unlike any other analogous book. Its scientific statements are correct or, at least, they coincide with the opinions held by the vast majority of experts. It establishes clear distinctions between things we know for sure and things that we know that we do not know, or we do not understand.

Superheroes, Movies, and the State sets a new standard for exploring the government-Hollywood relationship as it persuasively documents the critical role different government agencies have played in shaping characters, stories, and even the ideas behind the hottest entertainment products.

Charles Darwin's scientific work transformed the way people think about life on Earth. From his childhood in England to his pivotal ocean voyages, he took every opportunity to study the natural world. And he helped shape a new understanding of how life forms change over time.

Albert Einstein's restless intelligence drove him to ponder the biggest topics the universe has to offer: light, time, mass, energy, and more. His conclusions changed the way people thought about the laws of physics. But first, he had to pass his university entrance exams.
