Kinetic Theory in the Expanding Universe

release date: Aug 26, 1988
Kinetic Theory in the Expanding Universe
Kinetic Theory in the Expanding Universe is a self-contained exposition of the applications of kinetic theory to basic problems in modern cosmology, such as the role of stable and unstable massive neutrinos and the theory of cosmological helium production. There has been rapid development of the theory of the origin and evolution of the universe in recent years, stimulated, in large part, by new observations and theories in astrophysics and particle physics. Bernstein takes a different approach and studies what can be concluded from the application of kinetic theory, and in particular the Boltzmann equation and its solutions, to cosmological problems. He begins with a brief survey of the necessary relativity, cosmodynamics, and kinetic theory, before going on to discuss specific problems, such as the role of stable and unstable massive neutrinos, electron-positron annihilation and the theory of cosomological helium production. The focus is in obtaining both a theoretical understanding and concrete numerical results.

Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer
Traducere de Walter Fotescu Despre Oppenheimer s-a scris enorm, s-a făcut un film care a primit multe Premii Oscar, figura lui a înflăcărat imaginația publicului. și pe drept cuvânt. Fizician teoretician strălucit, cu mari contribuții în perioada imediat următoare apariției mecanicii cuantice, conducător al proiectului de construire a bombei atomice în timpul războiului, audiat apoi, la începutul anilor 1950, de o comisie guvernamentală care, din motive neîntemeiate, i-a retras accesul la documentele secrete din domeniul nuclear, umilindu-l public, și, în fine, director al Institutului pentru Studii Avansate de la Princeton, una dintre cele mai prestigioase instituții academice din lume, Robert Oppenheimer a avut un destin excepțional, deopotrivă tragic, bizar și absurd Ce deosebește cartea lui Jeremy Bernstein de celelalte biografii dedicate lui Oppenheimer este faptul că autorul, el însuși fizician de renume, l-a cunoscut personal pe „părintele bombei atomice“ și a fost prieten apropiat cu colaboratorii săi, de la care a obținut mărturii inedite. Ferindu-se de speculații hazardate, Bernstein se bazează pe fapte cunoscute direct sau din surse sigure, citează pe larg transcrierile audierii în fața comisiei guvernamentale și alte documente relevante, oferindu-ne o imagine pregnantă a personalității lui Oppenheimer. „O lectură captivantă, o operă superbă. Pentru oricine e interesat să exploreze această enigmă, cartea lui Bernstein e esențială.“ — RAY MONK, The Spectator „Pentru cineva ca mine, care încearcă să reconstituie acele evenimente, citirea transcrierilor audierilor e necesară din mai multe motive. În primul rând, din simpla lor lungime – 700.000 de cuvinte de mărturii – îți poți face o idee despre cum se va fi simțit Oppenheimer. El a stat acolo zi de zi, fumând țigară după țigară când nu depunea el însuși mărturie, ascultând cum e denigrat sau apărat. Este uimitor că a rezistat până la capăt.“ — JEREMY BERNSTEIN

L'uomo senza frontiere
Figura emblematica del nostro tempo, geniale esploratore dell''intelligenza umana e dello spaziotempo, Albert Einstein è ancora oggi considerato uno dei più importanti scienziati della storia. Le sue scoperte e intuizioni hanno riscritto totalmente il nostro modo di interrogare la realtà e dato abbrivio a una nuova, straordinaria prospettiva scientifica, da cui nessun modello fisico del presente e del futuro può prescindere. Ma come ha fatto un timido bambino nato a Ulm, piccola cittadina sulle sponde del Danubio, a diventare uno degli uomini più famosi di tutti i tempi? Jeremy Bernstein ripercorre in maniera sapiente e appassionata la vita di Einstein, coniugando le imprese scientifiche con quella parte della sua personalità, più intima e familiare, che soltanto a pochi era permesso conoscere. Ricostruisce momenti fondamentali della sua maturazione come studioso e come uomo, dagli anni di infanzia trascorsi a suonare il violino all''ammissione presso l''Istituto federale svizzero di tecnologia di Zurigo, dal matrimonio con Mileva all''«anno dei portenti», durante il quale formulò i fondamenti della fisica moderna, dal premio Nobel ricevuto nel 1921 alla fuga dall''Europa per scampare alle persecuzioni naziste contro gli ebrei. Si sofferma spesso sul volto di un giovane ragazzo con lo sguardo trasognato, su cui nessuno – né gli amici né i professori – avrebbe mai scommesso, ma che già nei primi anni di vita costellava i suoi sogni a occhi aperti di visioni prodigiose: come quando, a cinque anni, il padre gli mise in mano una bussola e lui vi vide l''ago magnetico che indicava la sua strada. L''uomo senza frontiere è la biografia indispensabile di Albert Einstein, attraverso la quale riscoprire gli esperimenti e le teorie scaturite dalla mente che ha riscritto le regole del nostro mondo.

Meet Cutes NYC

Meet Cutes NYC
"Excuse me, are you two a couple?" From the creators of @meetcutesnyc, this stunning new book—beautifully photographed and written—captures true stories of love and connection as told on the streets of NYC. Meet Cutes NYC is a breathtaking collection of 85 stories—a mix of new and fan favorites—alongside beautiful portraits of the couples, photographed exclusively for the book. Each interview opens the same way, “Excuse me, are you two a couple?” Followed by, “Can you tell us the story of how you met?” But the stories are each unique—like Chris and Clay, who met while auditioning for West Side Story (they both got it). And Joe and Liza, who met in a hardware store—while Liza was with her boyfriend at the time. There are stories of couples who met on public transportation, at a party, through friends, at work, at church—you truly never know where you might find love. There are also stories of second chances—like Mike and Karen—who met in college, broke up, and then bumped into each other again two years later; they fell into a kiss and have been married for 37 years. Beyond how they met, couples share their partner’s favorite traits, what they love to do together, and how they make their relationships work. Meet Cutes NYC is a celebration of modern-day love connections—across all ages, genders, and backgrounds. The book is a refreshing dose of real love stories, from real people, in a gorgeous package.

Plutonium

release date: Oct 01, 2010
Plutonium
Historically fascinating and scientifically rigorous, Plutonium tells the story of a rare and exotic element put to deadly use in atomic bombs, from its discovery to the present day. From the discovery of uranium in 1789 to the Manhattan Project, from Nazi efforts to build a nuclear bomb to the cold war between the USA and USSR, Bernstein tells the important story of one of nature''s rarest elements, put to deadly use in nuclear weapons. Along the way, he paints revealing pen portraits of scientists who helped discover the element and produce it in vast quantities during World War II - from Marie Curie to Robert Oppenheimer and beyond.

Hans Bethe

Hans Bethe
This massive work on the history of evil, particularly as symbolized by the Christian devil, was written on the cusp of the 20th century by Paul Carus. At that point in history it seemed apparent that evil would soon be eliminated by the onrushing forces of rationalism and modernism. The devil had been reduced to a literary character, always ready to make a silly bargain for a soul. This trivialized image is perpetuated to this day. Satan in the cinema is either represented as a hideous special effect or a comic, bumbling trickster. Long gone is the noble adversary of Jehovah, as portrayed in the Bible, Milton or Dante. However, the 20th century brought total war; genocide; death camps; nuclear, biological and chemical weapons; mind control; double-speak; ecological destruction; and finally indiscriminant mass terror. Evil was back and it was unmistakable. No wonder that opinion polls in the United States show that a large proportion of the population believe in the existence of the devil.
