Look deep into Nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein Physics is the science which ties all others together. Aiming to explain the universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to vast galaxies, and the very nature of space-time, it represents human intellectual endeavour at its most ambitious. This illustrated guide traces the development of physics, from the natural philosophers of the ancient world to cutting-edge experiments in quantum mechanics. These complex ideas are expressed in clear and easy-to-understand language, providing a wonderful introduction to the vast subject. Topics include: • The nature of matter - first theorized as atoms 2,500 years ago • Light and optics • Masses and forces • The bizarre subatomic world of quantum mechanics • Our fascination with the stars • The universe around us, from the Big Bang to distant galaxies

Great advances in human history have often rested on and prompted progress in chemistry.The exploitation of fire, the development of pigments, and the discovery that metals could be smelted and worked laid the foundations of civilization.The search for better tools and weapons drove metallurgy, and the need for medicines and perfumes lay behind the first laboratories. This book traces a story of exploration and discovery, from the earliest applications of chemistry by our ancient forebears. For more than 1,000 years alchemists pursued the transformation of matter, until the advent of modern chemistry in the 17th century set us on the path to the complex science of today. Topics include: - Prechemistry since prehistory - Alchemy and the transmutation of metals - The rise of the scientific method - Identifying the chemical elements - Understanding gases - The nature of the atom - Organic chemistry - Chemical analysis Beautifully illustrated throughout.

In order to understand the universe you must know the language in which it is written. And that language is mathematics. - Galileo (1564-1642) People have always sought order in the apparent chaos of the universe. Mathematics has been our most valuable tool in that search, uncovering the patterns and rules that govern our world and beyond. This book traces humankind's greatest achievements, plotting a journey through the mathematical intellects of the last 4,000 years to where we stand today. It features the giants of mathematics, from Euclid and Pythagoras, through Napier and Newton, to Leibniz, Riemann, Russell, and many more. Topics include: • Counting and measuring from the earliest times • The Ancient Egyptians and geometry • The movements of planets • Measuring and mapping the world • Fuzzy logic and set theory • The death of numbers

This account of the planets and other mysterious objects in our solar system tells the story of planetary exploration, from observations by the ancients to investigation by today's pioneering spaceships. Our neighbours in space lay hidden until the invention of the telescope, but since Galileo made his first sketches we have sought to uncover the secrets of the planets and their companions, marshalling telescopes, spacecraft, landers, and rovers to help. The beautiful photographs and illustrations in this book are accompanied by author Anne Rooney's informative text, which describes both the history of astronomy and the extraordinary observations and discoveries of recent decades.

Колеблющаяся блесна Nories Masukurouto Rooney 2.8 – настоящая классика в ловле форели на платных прудах. Инженерам компании Nories в действительности удалось сделать блесну такой формы, чтобы она одинаково хорошо показывала себя на разных скоростях проводки. Конечно, наилучшим вариантом для использования Rooney будет сбор активной рыбы на старте, однако большая палитра цветов и универсальность блесны позволяет использовать ее гораздо дольше в течении всего дня. Самая тяжелая версия 2.8 грамм довольно часто используется для ловли со дна, поэтому светонакопительные цвета в этом весе пользуются особенной популярностью. Nories Masukurouto Rooney 2.8 оснащается высококачественным крючком Vanfook, который значительно улучшает реализацию поклевок.
