How to Investigate Your Friends & Enemies

ROSE, Louis J.

This one-semester course text introduces basic principles of thermodynamics and considers a variety of applications in science and engineering. The modern coverage is compact yet self contained and holistic, with adequate material in a concise and economically-priced book for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates reading for first and higher degrees, and for professionals in research and industry. The mathematical prerequisite is an understanding of partial differentiation. Some of the work is controversial, notably that concerned with black holes where Dr Dunning-Davies gives results and expresses conclusions in direct conflict of Stephen Hawking. This may arouse, implant and develop a critical faculty in the minds of thinking students, leading perhaps to discussion and debate.

The Great Astronomical Revolution: 1534-1687 And the Space Age Epilogue

Patrick Moore, one of the great presenters of astronomy in our time, here tells the epic story of the historical development of astronomy which caused a revolutionary change in human outlook, both in its impact and on scientific thinking and upon religious belief. It is a fascinating story, well researched and told in a scholarly yet exciting narrative that will be read with enjoyment and profit by astronomers, historians and the general public. It had been believed according to cosmologists and Jewish/Christian/Muslim tradition that the Earth began at a finite time in the past. A scientific revolution began with Copernicus, the Polish priest, who in 1534 cast aside the ancient Greek idea that the Earth occupied the proud position in the centre of the universe. In his published work De Revolutionibus he stated that the planets revolved around the Sun. His theory was opposed by scientists and was regarded as heresy by the Christian Church, which in those times persecuted heretics who held such views. A scholarly Danish scientist, Tycho Brahe (between 1576 and 1596) made the essential observations which enabled the German mathematician Johannes Kepler in 1609 to prove that the Earth is indeed a planet travelling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Then came the Italian Galileo whose brilliant enquiring mind and courageous conviction led him to support the Copernicum theory at the risk of persecution by the dreaded Inquisition. In 1687 came the great Sir Isaac Newton who had the final say when, in his great work of genius Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, he developed the mathematical proof of how bodies move in space. In his Space Age Epilogue, Patrick Moore leaps forward three centuries to 1957 and the new astronomical revolution of our time which could never have happened without those earlier scientists' pioneer work. He examines space exploration by rocket power following the launch of Sputnik I and the probes to the planets of our Solar System; and controlled landings on Venus and Mars, culminating with the sensational achievements of Hubble as monitored by NASA. The linkage of these two revolutions, argues Patrick Moore, will no doubt be followed in future by a third of equal magnitude.

Astronomy & Space Science

This text addresses a weakness observed among students, namely a lack of familiarity with formal proof. Dr. Stirling begins with the idea of mathematical proof and the need for it, devoting care to develop associated technical and logical skills. This is then brought to bear on the core material of analysis and a presentation that the development reads naturally and in straight-forward progression, not only by giving proofs, but also indicating how they are constructed. This approach offers intellectual challenge and stimulus to readers by emphasizing two important points: the need for familiarity with long mathematical arguments and manipulation; and the importance of the ability to construct proofs in analysis. The author devotes attention, not only to the results, but to the way in which they are deduced. There are examples linking analysis with other mathematical areas in order to eliminate the risk of its detachment from the "body corpus" of mathematics; and also instances as to why proofs are attempted in a particular way. The text contains over 100 worked examples and more than 200 problem exercises and their solutions and hints.

"This classic text, updated and reinforced with new findings and material, provides an understanding of enzymology for university degree study and teaching, or industrial and academic research. It comprehensively covers theory and applications of these biological life-supporting catalysts and serves as a bridge to more advanced and specialized areas. "
